Descriere
This collection of essays and bibliographies will provide both novice and experienced scholars with valuable and accessible insights as well as references to a select list of critical texts pertaining to a wide array of social science methods and practices useful when doing fieldwork. In essays on ethnography to case study, archival research, oral history, surveys, secondary data analysis, and ethics, leading scholars in Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, and Sociology reflect upon the methodological approaches of their own and other disciplines. Each author provides a window on the method with vivid examples of how they were able to confront the realities of their research topics and study sites by expanding their methodological skills. This refreshing new collection is meant to serve as a supplemental text for upper level undergraduate as well as graduate social science methods courses, where there is a growing demand for multiple methods or mixed methods training.
