This is a book for all researchers in educational settings whose
research is motivated by considerations of justice, fairness and
equity. It addresses questions such researchers have to face. Will
a prior political or ethical commitment bias the research? How far
can the ideas of empowerment or 'giving a voice' be realised? How
can researchers who research communities to which they belong deal
with the ethical issues of being both insider and outsider? The
book provides a set of principles for doing educational research
for social justice. These are rooted in considerations of
methodology, epistemology and power relations, and provide a
framework for dealing with the practical issues of collaboration,
ethics, bias, empowerment, voice, uncertain knowledge and
reflexivity, at all stages of research from getting started to
dissemination and taking responsibility as members of the wider
community of educational researchers. Theoretical arguments and the
realities of practical research are brought together and
interwoven. Thus the book will be helpful to all researchers,
whether they are just beginning their first project, or whether
they are already highly experienced. It will be of great value to
research students in designing and writing up their theses and
dissertations.
