Fresh, insightful and clear, this exciting textbook provides an
engaging introduction to the application of qualitative methodology
in the real world. Expert researchers then trace the history and
philosophical underpinnings of different methodologies, explore the

out relevant issues surrounding quality and rigor. Featured
methodologies include action research, discourse analysis,
ethnography, grounded theory, case studies and narrative inquiry.

select the approach most appropriate for their own research
projects. Key features include: Summary table for each chapter -
