An Introduction to Qualitative Research
- Uwe Flick - Freie Universtität Berlin, Germany
Continuing to be THE guide to the whole qualitative research process for students, this book looks at both the theory behind qualitative research and how to put it into practice in your own work. For students across a range of social science disciplines and beyond, this is a must to help you enhance your research project.
This edition introduces:
- a decolonisation of methodologies
- a range of indigenous, queer and feminist perspectives on methodologies
- assistance with defending a viva and alternative forms of assessment to suit a changing world.
More additions to this seventh edition include a section on the subjectivity of a researcher, and how your identity will shape your research. The further reading has been curated to include more than just western voices, providing you with global perspectives on qualitative research. This text introduces how to sensitively undertake ethical and inclusive research with marginalised groups.
This book will help you master a comprehensive understanding of qualitative research.
Professor Uwe Flick has been a leading qualitative methodologist in the social sciences for decades. His methods texts reflect his considerable talent for presenting complex concepts and approaches in a thorough and accessible manner. This latest text is no exception.
A really useful read about the basics of qualitative research, written in a simple and easy to read format.
Great overview of different research methods that will be really helpful for my students
An excellent and comprehensive overview of qualitative research. It is accessible at an introductory level and is a useful 'one-stop shop' for our students. I will be recommending it to colleagues.
This is a great book for both beginners and seasoned qualitative researchers
An extremely useful book for students that provides a comprehensive overview of qualitative research methodologies. It is particularly useful for students grappling with theory and provides a good basic introduction that is suitable for undergraduates in psychology. It would be great, however, to see a little more on the conceptual basis and frameworks of the various methodologies in future editions. This is largely absent in most undergraduate textbooks on qualitative research methods aimed at undergraduates. That said, I look forward to future editions and highly recommend this book as a good starting point.
Excellent text which I have found is applicable to students at all levels from undergraduate to PhD. Clearly written with excellent examples of research in practice. Research methodology is clearly explored making this an accessible text.
Relevance to the module descriptors

Real world application and question prompts mean students can use the book in an active way.
