The Foundations of Social Research Michael Crotty Research Methods Paperback

Description

The Foundations of Social Research: Meaning and Perspective in the Research Process by Michael Crotty. Allen & Unwin, first published 1998. Paperback, 248 pages.

The book that sorts out the terminology every research student trips over — how epistemology, theoretical perspective, methodology and methods relate, and how to tell whether your chosen combination actually hangs together. Sets out positivism, constructionism, interpretivism, critical inquiry, feminism and postmodernism, tracing each back to its philosophical origins.

A standing item on research methods reading lists in Australia and internationally, and widely used across the social and health sciences.

Michael Crotty lectured in education and research studies in the Department of Public Health at Flinders University of South Australia.

Later printing (number line 10 9 8 7 6). Australian publication.
