Critical Qualitative Research and Social Justice is an encyclopedia-esque book that is a must have for any researcher interested in critical and social justice qualitative research.
It helps readers understand and navigate the labyrinthine of critical and social justice concepts available for qualitative research studies. The book focuses on critical, decolonial, transformative, critical interpretivist, participatory, or related approaches that disrupt dominant paradigms, unapologetically name issues of power, identify and overturn oppressive policies, and engage with communities in meaningful ways. There are 28 chapters that take up a different critical and/or social justice research concept and define it for readers. The chapters are not mutually exclusive but overlap and connect with each other. As such, readers can draw from different chapters as they create their own critical and/or social justice research designs.
This book will be of interest to researchers (faculty, institutional researchers, graduate students, nonprofit research or assessment people, etc.) across fields and disciplines who are interested in crafting quality research designs and making a concerted difference with their research.
