`A comprehensive, balanced and judicious treatment of biographical
methods in social research, made all the more useful to students by
its careful delineation of the practicalities involved' - Raymond M
Lee, Royal Holloway, University of London Specifically designed for
those carrying out biographical, life history or family history
research, this concise guide covers the methods and issues
involved. The author demonstrates that biographical research is a
distinctive way of conceptualizing social activity. The three main
approaches to biographical and family history research are covered:
- Realist - focused around grounded-theory techniques of
interviewing; - Neo-positivist - more structured interview
techniques; - Narrative - with emphasis on the active construction
of life stories through the interplay between interviewer and
interviewee. An invaluable introduction to the field, which
contains much that will be of interest to the experienced
practitioner, the book will be ideal for researchers in sociology,
psychology, political science, social policy or anthropology.
