Qualitative research has seen a surge of growth during the past
decade. This is in large part because positivist approaches have
not yielded the kinds of results that had been anticipated, and
more researchers are seeking alternative perspectives to understand
phenomena. The number of researchers using qualitative approaches
continues to grow, yet there are few up-to-date guides to assist
thinking broadly about qualitative research as a field of inquiry.
Over the decades the range of approaches has increased, which has
led to an even greater lack of certainty about how to think about
doing qualitative research. In considering key issues while
offering practical guidance on how to work within the face of
uncertainty, this book will be a valuable resource to this next
generation of researchers. New Approaches to Qualitative Research
offers: a clear understanding of the range of issues related to
researcher stance, the way that researchers position themselves in
relation to their subjects, their participants, and their own
belief systems, and the way in which they locate themselves across
the qualitative paradigm an overview of some of the most
cutting-edge qualitative techniques in use today: from the
exploration of visual texts to the concept of inquiry to synthesis
methods, this section lays out the state of the art in methodology
specific information regarding processes of data analysis,
synthesis and interpretation that are employed in these various
approaches. In this book, the authors take the stance that
qualitative research is a broad approach that encompasses and even
encourages difference and uncertainty, and here at last they
provide a route-map to this uncertain but fruitful line of inquiry.
This vital text is ideal for professional researchers and
postgraduates in a range of subject areas.
