<br/><br/> Collecting and interpreting qualitative materials introduces the researcher to basic methods of gathering, analyzing and interpreting qualitative empirical materials. Part -1 moves from interviewing to observing, to the use of artifacts, documents and records from the past; to visual, and auto ethnographic methods. It then takes up analysis methods, including computer-assisted methodologies, as well as strategies for analyzing talk, and text. Esther Madriz reads focus groups through critical feminist inquiry, and Erve Chambers discusses applied ethnography. This book will be an ideal supplement for a course on research methods, across a wide number of academic disciplines.
