Step-by-step advice for constructing a qualitative project from beginning to end, covering both foundational theory and real-world application
Qualitative Research Methods: Collecting Evidence, Crafting Analysis, Communicating Impact guides you through sequential stages of a qualitative research project, from project design and data collection to analysis, interpretation, and presentation.

This edition includes a wealth of new examples, case studies, discussion questions, full-color visuals, and hands-on "Project Building Blocks" activities you can use at any stage of your qualitative research project.
