Description: All of the contributors to this book use their own research practice to explain and reflect on what they have learned from their experiences as researchers. This book explains 'how to do' qualitative research but may hide at least three dangers: The provision of a set of arid 'principles' which may bear little relation to the actual student experience of doing a research project -- The tendency to downplay the extent to which doing qualitative research is a craft skill dependent on a practical apprenticeship rather than cookbook knowledge -- The concealment of the variety of analytical models and approaches currently in use in qualitative research.
