| Summary |
"In The Craft of Knowledge experienced researchers come together to explore what really matters to them in the process of doing research, providing personal accounts of what can often be the trying or painful processes of creating research-based knowledge and understandings of social life. Sociologists, anthropologists and historians come together to pool insights into what it is like to be immersed in real life research and to explore how they deal with the demands and challenges it creates. This is not a book about techniques but about what matters when carrying out qualitative research projects today. Faced with increasing demands for quick answers and unambiguous findings, this book is an appeal for more nuanced processes, deeper ethical considerations and the power of imagination in carrying out social research"-- |
