"Qualitative Research Methods" is based on the authors' highly successful multidisciplinary qualitative methods workshops, which have been conducted for over a decade. In this book the authors propose a 'qualitative research cycle' that leads students through the selection of appropriate methods, the collection of data and the transformation of findings into a finished project. It provides a clear explanation of the nature of qualitative research and its key concepts. Topics covered include: formulating qualitative research questions; ethical issues; in-depth interviews; focus group discussions; observation; coding; data analysis; and, writing up qualitative research. This text is ideal for any students taking a qualitative methods course or producing a qualitative research project at undergraduate or graduate level.
