Mason and Dale have brought together leading researchers from across the social sciences, including Sociology, Health, Geography, Psychology and Social Statistics, to explain how they approach research design and practice, and to consider what kinds of knowledge their methods can produce when applied in real life research. In so doing, this book examines a wide range of state-of-the-art approaches to doing research, and examines them in the context of three core sets of social issues; personal life and relationships, social change, and the role of place. Such cross currents are drawn together skilfully by the editors so as to get inside the heart of how we think about and conduct research today Understanding Social Research examines the core principles that inform the process of doing research and being a social researcher in the 21st century. It does so by looking at the creative tensions that lie at the heart of all social research and the interplay between research design, theory, method and our real-life research subjects and experiences Focussing on three key areas in the social sciences, this book draws together contributors from a variety of areas who use a range of methodological approaches to present the reader with an inspirational guide to understanding and using methods and approaches in their research. What is the relationship between methodology and the messy reality of everyday research in action? How do we make arguments about the social world on the basis of our research? How is the knowledge that research produces shaped by the methods we use? Understanding Social Research is vital reading for students and researchers in the social sciences who want to understand a creative range of approaches to research and the consequences of making particular methodological choices. --Book Jacket

Jennifer Mason and Angela Dale′s book seeks to set out cutting-edge developments in the field of social research and to encourage students and researchers to consider ways of learning from different approaches and perspectives in such a way as to make their own research richer, more insightful and more rewarding. Social Researching brings together a wide variety of research methods - both qualitative and quantitative - to help students and researchers to consider the relative benefits of adopting different approaches for their own research work. The authors clearly identify the most appropriate methods for different research questions and also highlight areas where it might be fruitful to compliment different methods with each other or exploit creative tensions between them. The book is therefore a highly practical guide which also seeks to draw readers outside their methodological comfort zones. This book includes: - Critical coverage of issues in research design; - Expert experience in many methodological fields; - An overview of the many different ways to approach similar research problems; - Coverage of the tensions between different methodological approaches; - Examples of excellence in research design and practice; - An examination of how to turn methodological tensions into richer research practice. The methods covered include highly innovative, ′cutting-edge′ approaches and they are demonstrated in terms of their transferability between the different social sciences. This inter-disciplinary approach is complimented by a wide range of strategically chosen examples which demonstrate the authors′ pragmatic and creative take on research design.

The book explores methodological approaches in three key areas - personal life and relationships; places and mobilities, and socio-cultural change. These work as vehicles to expound methodological issues and challenges that are relevant across a much wider range of domains. Understanding Social Research brings together leading researchers in the social sciences including sociology, health, geography, psychology and social statistics - to elaborate their approach to research design and practice, based on their own research experience, and to consider what kinds of knowledge their methods can produce. Each of the contributing authors reflects on their own methods and identifies what is distinctive about them. The book contains fascinating insights into how the knowledge we produce is shaped by the methods we choose and use.
