The new Third Edition of this best-selling text guides students and
researchers through the process of doing qualitative research, clearly
explaining how different theoretical approaches inform what you do in
practice. The text bridges the gap between "cookbook" and more abstract
approaches to qualitative research, by posing "difficult questions" that
researchers should be asking themselves. The book invites researchers to
engage in a creative and critical practice in how they draw insights,
interpret a range of types of data, and craft knowledge from qualitative
research.
A theoretically engaged, grounded approach to qualitative researching,
this remains the ideal text to guide students to become thoughtful,
creative and effective qualitative researchers.
