Re-Thinking Social Research: Anti-Discriminatory Approaches in Research Methodology de Beth Humphries

Re-Thinking Social Research: Anti-Discriminatory Approaches in Research Methodology

Autor Beth Humphries Editat de Carole Truman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2017
Social research plays an important part in the social sciences and in the planning and implementation of personal social services. Whilst considerable attention has been paid to the methods used to undertake social research, little has been done to explore the processes under which it is carried out. This volume explores the process of social research from an anti-discriminatory perspective. Contributors address themes connected to every aspect of social research from its design, through fieldwork to implementation of findings. Papers adopt critical perspectives to explore issues to do with many aspects of power and 'difference' in research including the power of black feminist research, issues in collaborative research, anti-discriminatory methodologies, quality of life in people with learning difficulties and participatory research. The book addresses many key issues which have been at the centre of current social debate and offers a unique contribution to the literature on research methodology. As such, it is likely to have a wide readership with both academic audiences and practice based welfare professions.

Recenzii

’...provides practical direction for any researcher who seeks to actively work for change against all forms of discrimination and oppression.’ Professor Donna M. Mertens, Gallaudet University, USA ’This book offers a wealth of insights...If the goal of social work research is to offer guidance to social work practitioners and policy makers, then this book is a must read for those undertaking and teaching social work research.’ Mary Valentich, The University of Calgary, Canada ’...an important book. It should be read by administrators and field staff in health and human service agencies, researchers, social action groups, and academics responsible for research education of students in the helping and healing professions.’ James Gripton, Emeritus Professor, The University of Calgary, Canada ’This collection of much needed articles provides an excellent way to generate discussion on research within welfare provision. This is a book that will be very valuable to students, academics, welfare practitioners and administrators.’ Kum-Kum Bhavnani, University of California, USA
