Although articles reporting research studies are helpful in
acquainting students with methodological approaches, they often
make the process look so straightforward, clean, and effortless. It
is rare to find an article that tells the "real" story behind the
finished product. By having real researchers tell their own stories
of "mucking around" with methodological and ethical issues in
qualitative research, we get a more realistic, human story of the
process. This is a collection of such stories. Authors were asked
to describe their own experiences with methodological and ethical
struggles as they engaged in their work. Each of the essays offers
insight into the research approach used as well as particular
issues which became apparent during the research process. Key
issues raised by the authors include early learnings; gaining
entry; overlapping, conflicting roles, and the boundaries of these
roles; differential power relationships; who tells the story and
whose story is told; ethical concerns related to confidentiality;
and the influence of a researcher's particular philosophy or
theoretical framework on his or her research. Throughout the book
we see scholars whose personal stories or autobiographies intersect
closely with their research projects. deMarrais introduces a unique
framework to help students gain an overview of qualitative research
methods and the underpinnings and processes in these approaches.
This framework is centered on the ways we understand phenomena
using qualitative research approaches that engage archival
knowledge, narrative knowledge, or observational knowledge.
