Using the example of women's rights, there is a lot of knowledge that can be gained from one individual perspective.

Cultural ethnography is a type of fieldwork used to better help understand the intricacies of an individual culture by having an ethnographer "embed' themselves in the culture for a period of time of a year or more. So imagine living with someone who doesn't have access to a specific type of women's health care, only being in that environment up close. Seeing how it affects their family, their jobs, and especially their individual bodies.

Another analogy is that of a history book. A history book provides one "zoom level" of a significant event or conflict. Then, primary source documents provide a different and much more humanizing perspective.

The challenge in taking only the disinterested position is that you lose a lot of the human realness needed to understand and contextualize women's health... or any other subject. All in the name of constructivism.

Thanks for the questions, Nour. You got my cerebrospinal fluid going!
