Experience Research Social Change: Methods Beyond the Mainstream, Second Edition

by Sandra Kirby and Lorraine Greaves

Book Overview

Kirby and McKenna's Experience Research Social Change: Methods from the Margins , first published in 1989, quickly and successfully established a place in the field of qualitative research methods by taking into account life on the margins, being marginalized, and being invisible. Many of the ideas then put forward have been taken "into the mainstream." In this completely revised and updated edition, Kirby, Greaves, and Reid look "beyond the mainstream"...

Excellent best practices tool

Human experience, as a subject, and not object is very well illustrated and applied. Social change happens not just on education, training, and instruction. Experience and documenting this experience for posterity is a lesson that is hard to learn, easy to apply and simply common sense to know. Good book.

Experience research social change : methods from the margins

An excellant guide for the early career researcher. I particularly found the summaries and checklists at the end of each chapter useful. As a matter of fact, I responded to all the checklists as a way to make the initial pass through writing up my methods section and felt that (along with Leedy) it was a good exercise to gather my thoughts and record the process. A useful addition to the student library.
