| Abstract
|
:
|
"Interest in the undertaking, findings and application of social research has grown in recent years, leading to debates about methodology and methods applied in social research. This book offers an original, substantive exploration of the interconnections between theories, methodologies, methods and social change in qualitative research. Qualitative research is being undertaken in challenging times and the chapters in this book contain strong arguments for the continuing worth of the contribution of qualitative research in the twenty-first century."--Book cover.
