Using Biographical Methods in Social Research provides an
informative, comprehensive, accessible and practical guide to the
nature and use of biographical methods, combining a consideration
of theoretical issues with practical guidance as well as
reflections on the personal experience of doing research. Barbara
Merrill and Linden West consider important questions about who and
what research is for and what makes it valid, alongside the
practical business of interviewing, transcribing, analyzing and
writing up of biographical data. The authors draw on their
sociological and psychological orientations to provide a truly
interdisciplinary approach to the subject, and provide numerous
examples of biographical research across the social sciences. This
book will equip students with all the skills necessary to undertake
biographical research as well as to fully understand what they are
doing and the assumptions they make about the nature of truth,
knowledge, story telling and being human. It will be useful for
students and researchers using biographical methods in a range of
disciplines, including sociology, social policy, social psychology,
health care and education.
