Qualitative Inquiry: A Dictionary of Terms

By Thomas A. Schwandt

Book Overview

The language of qualitative inquiry can at times seem arcane and difficult to interpret. Thomas A. Schwandt provides an indispensable guide to the terms and phrases that help shape the nature, purpose, logic, meaning, and methods of qualitative inquiry. Intended as a reference book for this vocabulary, Qualitative Inquiry considers the key concepts and issues that help shape the field. The definitions acknowledge the multiple and oft-contested points of view that characterize qualitative inquiry. Focusing primarily on philosophical and methodological concepts rather than technical aspects of methods and procedures, Qualitative Inquiry fills an important gap in the literature and will be a must-own volume for researchers at all levels.
