Recenzii

“In the book Finn develops a ‘relational perspective’ … which brings into the foreground of analysis young women’s personal worlds … . the book would make a worthwhile read for postgraduate students, doctoral students and early career researchers seeking to learn more about the realities (and feasibility) of conducting QL projects as a sole researcher. … would be suitable for a wide audience, ranging from undergraduate students through to academics working within the fields of gender, sociology and HE.” (Lauren Stentiford, Gender and Education, 2016)
