Dictionary of Qualitative Inquiry Zusammenfassung

Dictionary of Qualitative Inquiry Thomas A. Schwandt

`Stunning, absolutely breathtaking in its grasp of the field, clear-headed, and so accessible in its thinking through of difficult topics, terms, theoretical formations, theorists, and distinctions. I recommend it to the field' - Norman K Denzin, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Intended as a guide to the terms and phrases that partially shape the nature, purpose, logic, meaning, and methods of the practices called qualitative inquiry, this new edition has 110 additional new terms as well as new key references for every entry. These key references help acquaint readers with the complexity of the issues behind the concepts examined in the book. In addition, most of the entries have been expanded and clarified to enhance readers' comprehension of the concepts. Taken in their entirety, the entries are less a technical guide to qualitative methods and more of a guide to concepts and theoretical orientations in qualitative studies. Students and researchers will find this book a marvelous vessel for navigating the various streams of qualitative studies and as a starting point for launching their own investigations into methodological issues.

Dictionary of Qualitative Inquiry Bewertungen

Stunning, absolutely breathtaking in its grasp of the field, clear-headed, and so accessible in its thinking-through of difficult topics, terms, and theoretical formations, theorists, and distinctions. I recommend it to the field.

-- Norman K. Denzin

Negotiating the qualitative terrain can be treacherous. This is the only comprehensive map to the territory. Nobody has done a better job sorting out the diverse approaches that inform qualitative inquiry. Philosophies. Theories. Methods. Paradigms. Perspectives. From Action to Weltanschauung, it's all here. With this new edition, Schwandt's dictionary becomes indispensable to any serious scholar or practitioner of qualitative inquiry.

-- Michael Quinn Patton
