Behind the Scenes in Social Research discusses the informal,
adaptive, and real-life process of doing social science research.
It complements the material in standard methods texts that describe
the basics-how to choose topics and ways of obtaining and analyzing
data-but in doing so miss out on many of the obstacles and
practicalities of doing research. Researchers may find themselves
adrift when they start their research and discover that what
confronts them doesn't precisely match exactly what is described in
the basic textbooks, such as the obstacles that frequently occur,
the logistical matters that must be handled, and the improvisations
in research design and data gathering techniques that successful
projects require. This book covers this material, while also paying
attention to the ways in which the personal characteristics of
those doing the research affect how projects are designed and data
gathered. In addition, it explores the manner in which doing
research affects the researchers themselves, affecting self-images,
altering political or social views, or providing skills that extend
beyond the research enterprise. Based on the author's own
experiences and interviews with senior researchers in a variety of
social science fields, Behind the Scenes in Social Research
explores the practical problems that arise in undertaking a
research project while showing how these problems can be overcome
through perseverance and improvisation. It will therefore appeal to
scholars and students across the social science with interests in
research methods and the practical issues that arise during any
research project.
