Challenges and Opportunities in Qualitative Research
This book shares young scholars' (current PhD students and those who completed their PhD between 2010 and 2015) experiences with conducting qualitative social research. Intended as a guide for newcomers to the field, it focuses on the practical issues encountered by qualitative researchers rather than methodological discussions. Accordingly, it addresses a range of representative issues in the qualitative research process - namely research design, data access, data collection, and data analysis - and covers a variety of social sciences topics.
