"This is the best book I have read in quite some time. Professor
Ellingson writes clearly yet artfully and in a scholarly voice that
is accessible to students and faculty alike. The weaving between
description and illustrative case studies takes readers through the
step-by-step journey of crystallization (as experienced and offered
by Ellingson). The book is clearly grounded in philosophies of
knowing and methods- yet, it offers practical strategies,
questions, and choices for researchers." - Lynn M. Harter, Ohio
University Engaging Crystallization in Qualitative Research, the
first "how to" book to both explain and demonstrate crystallization
methodology, offers a framework for blending grounded theory and
other social scientific analyses with creative representations of
data, such as narratives, poetry, and film. Author Laura L.
Ellingson explores relevant epistemological questions that arise
when crossing methodological boundaries, provides detailed steps
for design and planning, offers guidelines for improving both
social scientific and creative/artistic writing, and suggests
strategies for targeting publication outlets for multigenre
representations. Features Articulates the principles of
crystallization and how it enables researchers to both represent
multiple perspectives on a phenomenon and highlight the partial
nature of all claims of truth Breaks down the qualitative research
barriers between the grounded theorists and those who favor
artistic, interpretive, and creative approaches, exemplifying the
possibilities for all Demonstrates the rich possibilities for
blending social scientific, creative/artistic, and critical
approaches to research Provides hands-on strategies that help
practitioners and students collect, analyze, and represent
qualitative data through crystallization Explores ethical
challenges, the political nature of research findings, and the need
for social justice activism among researchers Illustrates concepts
with exemplars, featuring cutting-edge research in social sciences,
education, and allied health Suitable for experienced practitioners
and advanced students of qualitative methods, Engaging
Crystallization in Qualitative Research is ideal for such courses
as Intermediate/Advanced Qualitative Research, Ethnographic
Methods, Grounded Theory, Field Research Methods, and Qualitative
Inquiry.
