Title: Accountability in Social Research
Description: In this book Norma Romm highlights various conceptions of accountability that might be used to judge the practice of social research. She does this by making explicit often implicit assumptions about how social researchers might be held accountable. She draws out 7 positions that can be located - and finally she indicates why she prefers what she calls a trusting constructivist conception of accountability, where researchers need to justify themselves by earning the trust of others as part of a discourse around the processes employed during social inquiries and the presentation of "results".
