The next section covers key issues including data analysis, interpretation, writing and assessment. The next three sections focus on the major methods of qualitative practice as well as newer approaches (such as arts-based research and internet research) area studies often excluded (such as museum studies and disaster studies) and mixed methods and participatory methods (such as community-based research). The first two sections explore the history of the field, ethics, and philosophical/theoretical approaches. With a focus on methodological instruction, this volume offers both a retrospective and prospective view of the field. It serves as a user-friendly teaching tool suitable for a range of undergraduate or graduate courses, as well as individuals working on their thesis or other research projects. This handbook provides a broad introduction to the field of qualitative research to those with little to no background in the subject, while simultaneously providing substantive contributions to the field that will be of interest to even the most experienced researchers.
The contributors represent some of the most influential and innovative researchers in the field as well as emerging scholars. It is intended for students of all levels, faculty, and researchers across the social sciences. The Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research by Patricia Leavy (Editor) The Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research presents a comprehensive overview of the field of qualitative research. It rejuvenates the pioneering spirit, the sense of mission and innovativeness of qualitative research. Each chapter will resonate with readers differently as they read themselves into the tensions and tangles of qualitative research when confronted with the challenges of establishing methodological frameworks for educational and social enquiry. The authors are postgraduate, early career researchers and supervisors who analyse their methodological encounters with the nimble, fluid, messy and iterative processes of qualitative research. The book flows structurally from positioning the researcher within these processes to the manoeuvring of self across necessarily selective social science disciplines in education, arts and humanities.
