Description
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.
Reviews / Votes
"[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
Praise for the first edition edition
This is only a ''methods'' book in the sense that Moby Dick is a book about how to catch whales. Underneath Herman Melville's descriptions of the proper way to throw a harpoon (data gathering) or how to cut up blubber (data analysis) is a deep meditation. So too with Interpretation and Method, an assemblage of reflections on the interpretive approach to social science. As one who regularly teaches a required doctoral seminar in the logic of inquiry, I can attest to the need for this book-if one is prepared to entertain the idea that there is more than one logic.
