Interpretation and Method Empirical Research Methods and the Interpretive Turn [Paperback]

Exceptionally clear and well-written chapters provide engaging discussions of the methods of accessing, generating, and analyzing social science data, using methods ranging from reflexive historical analysis to critical ethnography. Reflecting on their own research experiences, the contributors offer an inside, applied perspective on how research topics, evidence, and methods intertwine to produce knowledge in the social sciences. [An] invaluable resource for anyone interested in these important debates over method and methodology, interpretive methodologies or interpretive/qualitative methods... should be commended for its diversity, depth and incredible scope. - Political Studies Review
