i am planing to do research to analyse the cultural factors/aspects of culturally diverse societies, what method i should use to analyse cultural factors?
is it necessary to use only participatory methods and is it compulsory to live with the community for certain time period to understand and analyse factors related to their culture?

Hi. I am a current Graduate student in Intercultural Communications and found this group might be a great source of interesting conversations. I am working on my thesis development and it looks like I am leaning towards anti-oppressive communication practices within a child welfare context.
