Whether you are new to qualitative research or not, the goal is that this book will develop and deepen your understanding of an approach to research that seeks, designs for, and engages what the authors refer to as "criticality in qualitative research". Every chapters begins with an overview and key objectives for the chapter. Many diverse examples throughout along with a wide range of memos, conceptual framework narratives and graphics and much more.
