THERE IS A widespread impression that anthropology should be particularly privileged as a field to guide efforts at qualitative research on demographic behavior. This, however, is not a view I share. Qualitative methods have been developed and extensively used in numerous social science disciplines, by no means the least sociology, my home discipline. While work in an- thropology and ethnography has influenced the development of some of these methods, and perhaps conversely, qualitative methods in other so- cial science fields are not simply derivative of those characterizing anthro- pological or ethnographic research, nor are they necessarily used for the same purposes. I believe that most demographers interested in incorporat- ing qualitative data and analysis in their research will find, as I have, that for many of our purposes the most practical and useful qualitative meth- ods come from outside anthropology.
