A critical examination of the principles and practice of
qualitative research is provided in this book which examines the
interplay between context and method, making it invaluable for both
the experienced and the beginning researcher. A range of
methodological and practical issues central to the concerns of
qualitative researchers are addressed. These include: the validity
and plausibility of qualitative methods; the problems encountered
using specific techniques in a range of social settings; and the
moral issues raised in qualitative research. These themes are
related to practical issues which are illustrated by a breadth of
examples and in-depth case studies. The contributors look at the
methods and strategies that they have used to study everyday life,
and make suggestions to readers on why and how they might conduct
their own studies. They raise issues that go beyond `cookbook'
discussions of issues such as how to enter social settings, manage
the subjects of one's research and ask `good' questions in the
process of formulating research strategies. These issues are
addressed within the framework of the larger purposes and uses of
qualitative research where specific methodological problems are not
used as ends in themselves.
