Qualitative Research (General)
The Qualitative Inquiry Reader offers a selection of landmark articles from the popular SAGE journal Qualitative Inquiry. These collected works introduce the necessary critical framework that will allow scholars and students to interpret cutting-edge work in the field of qualitative inquiry.
The Reader includes: examples from across the behavioural and social sciences; is divided into five accessible sections: reflexive ethnography, autoethnography, poetics, performance narratives and assessing the text; reflects the ways in which contemporary researchers have implemented the narrative turn in their writing; and contains cutting-edge work by top scholars in the field.
Research
Recommended to student cohort to support key methodological knowledge of qualitative research. Good layout and structure - allowing the reader to locate the chapter/information which is relevant to their line of inquiry.
All of the Denzin books in this particular series are wonderful: but the discourse might be too difficult for our 4th year students. I have placed it on their supplementary reading list, however, I will prescribe the series for all my own M & D students as well as recommend it to my colleagues.
Denzin and Lincoln's edited reader offers a goldmine for anyone interested in qualitative inquiry.
The scope is broad and incorporates a fantastic range of topics and approaches. Despite its age (published 2002) it still holds much value for the qualitative researcher.
This book will be recommended reading for my undergraduate students.
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.
