Qualitative Research

Sandra Kouritzin is Associate Professor of Teaching English as a Second Language in the Faculty of Education at the University of Manitoba and is a Senior Fellow at St. John's College.

Evocative and provocative, this book presents the points of view of (often junior) scholars in the social sciences whoused non-standard methods or writing practices to challenge the "research-as-usual" paradigm in the academy. The authors discuss their lived personal experiences, as well as their struggles and eventual successes.
