In Pulling Back the Curtain on Qualitative Research, the authors
maintain that for sociologists the entire world is a laboratory.
Seldom do they attend social gatherings without observing people
and their interaction in a systematic and intellectually curious
way. Regular trips to the grocery store, church services, and
engagement with social media all open the door to sociological
questioning and encourage forms of empirical observation and data
collection. Here, in this practical and in-depth guide to
conducting qualitative sociological field research, the authors
offer step-by-step guidance to the processes of choosing a research
question and forming research objectives; gaining entry to research
settings; and reporting and analyzing findings. Each chapter
features a past research assignment, wherein the authors draw
attention to important ethical considerations and extract the many
lessons, quirks, and unanticipated findings they experienced along
the way that readers should prepare for and apply while conducting
their own qualitative fieldwork. Over the span of several field
studies, this book offers readers a behind-the-scenes look at some
tested and trusted qualitative methodologies. Designed to be a
guide for undergraduate and graduate level students, its real-life
meditations would make a meaningful addition to anyone serious
about conducting sociological research.
