"The authors' writing style is accessible and straightforward. This is one of the best books currently available for engaging sociology students in the process of doing qualitative research. It has served me well."--Peter Grahame,
Pennsylvania State University "
Discovering Qualitative Methods is far more thorough than texts that I have used in the past. It gives students a broader exposure to issues in research methods and enables them to use their sociological imaginations to devise their own specific research questions. The authors really break down the key issues in research methods. They provide a 'map' for actually doing real research. This is absolutely invaluable. I would definitely adopt a new edition of this book."--Dana M. Greene,
University of North Carolina "
Discovering Qualitative Methods uses an ethnographic lens through which to portray and induct students into qualitative research. The authors do a great job of covering the important topics related to the subject. I have been describing this book to colleagues as a delightful read. The basic everyday aspects of doing research are laid out in a plain and straightforward way for students."--Raewyn Bassett,
