Multiple case-based ethnography

Multiple case-based ethnography is a qualitative research design that applies sustained ethnographic fieldwork across two or more purposefully selected cases or sites and then compares the resulting thick descriptions to identify patterns, contrasts, and theoretical insights that would be invisible in a single-site study. It combines the contextual depth of ethnography with the comparative logic of multiple case study analysis.
