Context and method in qualitative research

de Gale Miller, Robert Dingwall

This book provides a critical examination of the principles and practice of qualitative research and the interplay between context and method which will be invaluable for both the experienced and the beginning researcher. A range of methodological and practical issues central to the concerns of qualitative researchers are addressed. These include: the validity and plausibility of qualitative methods; the problems encountered using specific techniques in a range of social settings; and the moral issues raised in qualitative research.
