Qualitative inquiry: thematic, narrative and arts-based approaches

Qualitative Enquiry unites the basics of research design in qualitative research with the practice of analysing qualitative data. This textbook is about the theory and practice of choosing and designing a qualitative approach and methodological and analytical ramifications that follow from making such choices.It aims to set out the theoretical underpinnings behind different methodological choices and to help students then follow up on (and interrogate) such approaches. Qualitative Enquiry is the ideal starting point for students on research training courses who have opted to develop a qualitative research project. In it, Butler-Kisber introduces students to theory and then demonstrates this theory in practice by showing how a project is actually designed and actually analysed. This book examines theory, method and interpretation in a way that is meaningful to students and new researchers, as well as discussing newer, more avant-garde, developments in qualitative research in arts-based inquiry. It is essential reading for students who are seeking to make sense of their research and their developing theoretical standpoints.
