Description: | Select Guide Rating For sociologists, the world is a laboratory, and key research principles and methods inform much of their actions, observations, and worldview. This book provides a practical and personal guide to the essential elements of social research and offers engaging insight through the authors' past fieldwork. In Pulling Back the Curtain on Qualitative Research, the authors maintain that for sociologists the entire world is a laboratory. Seldom do they attend social gatherings without observing people and their interaction in a systematic and intellectually curious way. Regular trips to the grocery store, church services, and engagement with social media all open the door to sociological questioning and encourage forms of empirical observation and data collection.
Over the span of several field studies, this book offers readers a behind-the-scenes look at some tested and trusted qualitative methodologies. Designed to be a guide for undergraduate and graduate level students, its real-life meditations would make a meaningful addition to anyone serious about conducting sociological research. |
