An edited collection packed with advice, exercises, and anecdotes,
The Craft of Qualitative Research is a practical, introductory
guide that will develop students’ skills and confidence in
qualitative research. Accessible in style and tone, this text
equips students with the tools needed to manage and overcome
challenges, emotions, biases, and power dynamics in the field. To
encourage experiential learning, 45 concise chapters include
real-world examples and practical exercises from scholars and
professionals in varying disciplines and stages of career. Each
section begins with an editors’ introduction then takes readers
through the steps of successful qualitative research: from planning
projects ethically and entering the field, to collecting and
analyzing data, and lastly, to exiting the field and disseminating
findings. Students in research-reliant disciplines, particularly
sociology, anthropology, criminology, social work, and health
studies will benefit from this distinctly practical resource.
