INTRODUCING QUALITATIVE METHODS provides a series of volumes which introduce qualitative
research to the student and beginning researcher. The approach is interdisciplinary and
international. A distinctive feature of these volumes is the helpful student exercises.
One stream of the series provides texts on the key methodologies used in qualitative
research. The other stream contains books on qualitative research for different disciplines
or occupations. Both streams cover the basic literature in a clear and accessible style, but
also cover the ‘cutting edge’ issues in the area.
