Research
An excellent reference book where the authors of the individual chapters demonstrate passion and interest in the work they are doing.
This is an interesting collection of articles from a leading journal; however it does not cover as wide a range of methodologies as would be needed to make this essential reading. Perusal of the journal itself, alongside QHR would still be essential for those adopting a qualitative approach.
excellent! It is a key text and one that I will expect students to read. I can not make it essential as policy means we can not do this.
Denzin and Lincoln are no strangers to the concepts of Qualitative Inquiry; as such this publication is an example of their work. Expressing the various themes and notions of Qualitative Inquiry, this publication is a useful and interesting addition for students.
