Written by leaders of qualitative methodology, this book provides up-to-date and interdisciplinary insight into a range of qualitative methods.
Bringing together different perspectives, contributors discuss theoretical underpinnings of these methods before taking readers through the process of each approach and helping them develop skills needed to carry out this type of research autonomously and with confidence.
Highlights include:
New chapters on multimethod qualitative research, using digital data and video, and addressing social issues in research.
More guidance on how to store and manage data appropriately.
Advice on how to publish research in journals.
Full of practical tips, exercises and summaries, this book continues to be a masterclass in qualitative research for students and researchers across the social sciences and beyond.
