Description
An indispensable guide to conducting research in the social sciences.
Looking beyond the traditional boundaries of quantitative and qualitative research, this is an illuminating and accessible guide to thinking about the role of the researcher – who they are, what they do, and how they shape their own practice. Written by an expert with many years' experience of teaching and research, it will help both novice and expert readers to assess and affect their own impact on their methodology and findings.
A key introductory text suitable for students and early-career researchers working across the social and behavioural science. This book will be an essential reference for anybody who wishes to reflect on and develop their research skills.

This book and its deep exploration of the role of researcher, is timely. Academically robust yet accessible and digestible, the worked examples and clear yet personal writing style make this book an invaluable addition to any social science researchers collection.
