Alison Clark and Peter Moss developed their own way of carrying out research with children – the Mosaic approach.

Sarah Pink: Doing Sensory Ethnography
Pink's understanding of ethnography is broader than that of a study relating to the culture or society of humans. Really, ethnography in Pink's view is a phenomenological study of life world and in the book she offers ways of accessing this life world through a range of channels.
