A lively, detailed description of how a variety of issues associated with doctoral dissertation level ethnographic research (from planning the project to finding a field site to how many pairs of socks an ethnographer living in Papua New Guinea might need) is provided at this site by Dr. Laura Zimmer Tamakoshi.  Very readable and interesting!
