This thought-provoking book challenges the way research is planned
and undertaken and equips researchers with a variety of creative
and imaginative solutions to the dilemmas of method and
representation that plague qualitative research. Fascinating and
inspiring reading for any researcher in the Social Sciences, this
comprehensive collection encourages the reader to imagine the world
in evermore complex and interesting ways and discover new routes to
understanding. Some of the most influential figures in educational
research consider questions such as: How does a socio-political
context change the course of our research? What counts as a
'truthful account' in qualitative research? How do the voices of
theory and the voices of 'research subjects' struggle to be heard
in our research narratives? How can qualitative researchers
ethically navigate the difficult terrain of research relationships?
How is the material body rendered in qualitative research?Each
chapter reveals a range of troubling dilemmas related to the
critical aspects of research methodology in the Social Sciences and
uses an illustrative case to elucidate the issues encountered by
the researcher. Each writer brings a fierce philosophical spirit to
her work, showing how methods or techniques of data-gathering grow
from the theory and analysis of how research proceeds. A range of
topics are addressed in a cross-disciplinary approach which will
appeal to all scholars of qualitative research, undergraduate
students in education programs and graduate students in a range of
disciplines.
