Reviews for Qualitative Research Methods

This introductory textbook presents a useful framework of three interconnected cycles - the design cycle, the data collection cycle and the analytic cycle - to guide students through the process of conducting qualitative research. Engaging examples illustrate each step from start to completion. -- Lena Jaspersen Hennink, Hutter and Bailey provide a highly practical overview of all stages in the qualitative research process, linking clearly the cycles of design, data collection and data analysis. Excellent case studies illustrate qualitative research in practice. The authors' clarity and coherence throughout the text makes this book a valuable read for all qualitative researchers. -- Geraldine Foley, PhD Written from a situated epistemological perspective, this handbook nicely blends theory with method and method with practical examples. A valuable guide for early career researchers in need of clear and simple answers to deal with complex phenomena and common critiques. -- Karin Hannes
