What should you do when results don't match your expectations? How
is it possible to make the best of existing evidence? Is it
acceptable to adapt your research question in the middle of a
project? This book examines how experienced researchers have
tackled these questions in their own projects. Moving beyond
abstract discussions of method, it explores how social scientists
collect and construct evidence in real-life practice. Looking
critically at nine examples of recent research, Doing Social
Science gives a thorough yet accessible examination of how research
is planned, carried out, recorded and analysed in real-life
situations. The book covers core and new areas of social science,
with each chapter looking at a different contemporary study that
taps into a key aspect of modern everyday life. Diverse and
globally relevant, these studies include themes from online gaming
and news interviews to post-colonial life and Goth subculture. The
book relates the theory behind such social issues to the methods
being used, as it gives critical evaluation alongside careful
explanation and invaluable advice. Showing how the choice and use
of particular methods and techniques can critically shape the
findings of social science research, the authors also explain how
to deal with complex research issues. Written and edited by experts
in the field, this innovative book highlights the excitement as
well as the challenge of conducting real-life research. After
reading this, students throughout the social sciences will have the
confidence and skills to evaluate the research of others and carry
out their own research projects.
