Books by Pertti Alasuutari

This book gets to the heart of what the social sciences really know about the elusive and contradictory object of research: human reality.

The growth of interdisciplinary cultural studies poses new challenges for the process of doing research. This textbook introduces the range of approaches and methodological tools available for undertaking critical research, and shows how cultural studies transcend traditional divisions between qualitative and quantitative methods and between social sciences and humanities.
