Presenting the landmark Pioneers life stories project, this
one-of-a-kind book documents how modern social research in the UK was
shaped. It sheds new light on the lives, methods and motivations of men
and women who helped develop a new world of research methodology,
pioneered feminist research, and first confronted the issues of race and
ethnicity. It combines a fascinating history of the generations who
built outstanding and influential social research with a valuable
resource for future research and teaching on methods.
