This unique reader introduces the social research process by pairing sixteen published research articles with candid interviews with the lead researcher on each study. The interviews bring the research process to life, showing it as a human activity involving choices and constraints, challenges and surprises, frustrations and satisfactions, and collaboration among colleagues. The selections represent a wide range of methodological approaches, and many different subfields of sociology and related disciplines, such as criminology, family studies, gender, disaster research, mass media, health care, religion, rural sociology, race and ethnicity, social movements, comparative studies, evaluation research, historical analysis, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.

From the Back Cover
Experiencing Social Research: A Reader introduces students to the social research process by pairing 16 published research articles with candid interviews with the lead researcher on each study. These interviews bring the research process to life, showing it as a human activity involving choices and constraints, challenges and surprises, frustrations and satisfactions, and collaboration among colleagues.
The articles include a wide range of different methodological approaches—qualitative as well as quantitative; applied and theory-driven; critical, interpretive, and positivistic, illustrating nearly every mode of data collection and analysis.
Also, articles represent many different subfields of sociology and related disciplines, such as criminology, family studies, gender, disaster research, mass media, health care, religion, rural sociology, race and ethnicity, social movements, comparative studies, evaluation research, historical analysis, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars
School Book,
By Henry Sanchez (VALENCIA, CA, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Experiencing Social Research: A Reader (Paperback)
The textbook arrived within a few days and in excellent condition. Saved half the price of the book. My daughter needs it for her class. With three girls in college, it pays to shop around. Thanks and I will certainly use Amazon again, Henry.
