Books in the Studies in Qualitative Methodology series

This volume is one of a series of research annuals on qualitative research designed to take up issues and debates in this area that relate to methodology, the relationship between data collection and data analysis, and other topics.

Advocates a 'pragmatic renaissance' within qualitative research - a systematic approach to conducting qualitative research and representing the findings. This book includes chapters that showcase the utility of qualitative research by providing theoretical, methodological and empirical insights into real life research.

Addresses continuities and innovations within the ethnographic canon. This title uses Hammersley's (1991) book "What's Wrong with Ethnography" to open and situate the debate, and engages with contemporary debates and arguments on both sides of the Atlantic.

This book examines and engages with the ambivalence of digitization, illuminating the diverse ways in which researchers approach, negotiate, understand and interpret objects and practices of digital research.

In recent years researchers have begun to reflect on gender identity and how this impacts on the creation of successful qualitative research. In this volume contributors explore these issues by reflecting on their own studies and research careers and address how important or unimportant gender has been in building research relationships.
