Using Qualitative Research

Guiding the reader through the research design process, Qualitative Research Design is a clear and easy-to-use introduction to planning, designing and managing a research project practically, ethically and critically. The author covers critical questions such as:
- How should postgraduate students and novice researchers design and conduct `good quality', ethically sound qualitative research?
- When is it appropriate to use qualitative research methods?
- What are the practical problems of planning a research project for a dissertation; thesis or external funding body?
- How does one begin organising one's data for publication?
Numerous contemporary case studies are employed throughout to illustrate the practical applications of research design, making this the ideal companion for any student or researcher undertaking their own qualitative research project.
