This chapter explores the intersection of Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) and ethnography, examining the extent they can be seen as complementary approaches to understanding social action. While CDS focuses on language and discourse, ethnography emphasises social practices, both offer distinct yet interrelated perspectives on how individuals engage with the social world. In the chapter, we start with an overview of the conceptual foundations of ethnography and discuss how CDS has engaged with ethnographic methods. This is followed by a discussion of two hypothetical case studies involving ethnography and discourse analysis. We examine the methodological, practical, and ethical considerations that arise from such research. In doing so, we argue that a collaborative approach between CDS and ethnography can enhance each other's analytical depth and, in the process, enrich the insights they afford in examining the social world.
