This comprehensive introduction to qualitative methods reveals the complexity of the qualitative research enterprise in an engaging and accessible way.
The authors introduce readers to the fundamental tools that need to be mastered to gain proficiency as a researcher. They also examine the personal qualities needed in a good researcher, such as comfort with ambiguity and humility, and an abiding curiosity about, and respect for, the experiences of others.
