uilt on the foundation of the landmark SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research, the Handbook of Critical and Indigenous Methodologies extends beyond the investigation of qualitative inquiry itself to explore the indigenous and non-indigenous voices that inform research, policy, politics, and social justice. Editors Norman K. Denzin, Yvonna S. Lincoln, and Linda Tuhiwai Smith explore in depth some of the newer formulations of critical theories and many indigenous perspectives, and seek to make transparent the linkages between the two. Key Features Contains global examples including South African, Hawaiian, Maori, Central African and Islamic ones Includes a Whos Who of educators and researchers in critical methodologies Provides a comprehensive body of work that represents the state of the art for critical methodologies and indigenous discourses Covers the history of critical and indigenous theory and how it came to inform and impact qualitative research and indigenous peoples to the critical constructs themselves Offers an historical representation of critical theory, critical pedagogy, and indigenous discourse Explores critical theory and action theory, and their hybrid discourses: PAR, feminism, action research, social constructivism, ethnodrama, community action research, poetics Presents a candid conversation between indigenous and non-indigenous discourses This Handbook serves as a guide to help Western researchers understand the new and recongured territories they might wish to explore.

he bringing together of the arts and qualitative inquiry is changing the face of social science research. The increasing shift toward arts-based research has raised complex questions, such as how to evaluate its quality and even whether distinctions exist between what is art and what is research. In the Handbook of the Arts in Qualitative Research, editors J. Gary Knowles and Ardra L. Cole bring together the top scholars in qualitative methods to provide a comprehensive overview of where arts-based research has come, and where it is going. Through various categories of art and art-based research - namely epistemological, historical, methodological, thematic - this dening work will address all the signicant issues of conceiving and conducting arts-based or artsinformed research in the social sciences and humanities, as well as the challenges of composing nal representations of the research. Key Features An exploration of the art/science debate The history and epistemology of the arts in the social sciences An analysis of classic and emerging methodologies and approaches that employ the arts in the qualitative research process Comprehensive coverage of the genres employed by qualitative researchers, including literary forms, performance, visual art, media, narrative, folk art, and more Discussion of the issues and challenges faced when employing art in research: ethical issues, academic merit issues, and even funding issues An overview of the current or potential role of the arts in specic disciplines, including the humanities, media and communications, anthropology, sociology, psychology, womens studies, education, social work, nursing, and health and medicine

The SAGE Handbook of Action Research

Participative Inquiry and Practice SECOND EDITION
Edited by Peter Reason University of Bath, U.K. Hilary Bradbury University of Southern California Building on the strength of the seminal First Edition, The Sage Handbook of Action Research has been completely updated to bring chapters in line with the latest qualitative and quantitative approaches in this eld of social inquiry. Editors Peter Reason and Hilary Bradbury have introduced new part commentaries that draw links between different contributions and show their interrelations. Throughout, the contributing authors really engage with the pragmatics of doing action research and demonstrate how this can be a rich and rewarding reective practice. They tackle questions of how to integrate knowledge with action, how to collaborate with coresearchers in the eld, and how to present the necessarily messy components in a coherent fashion. The organization of the volume reects the many different issues and levels of analysis represented. This volume is an essential resource for scholars and professionals engaged in social and political inquiry, organizational research and education.

Fieldwork
FOUR VOLUME SET
Edited by Christopher Pole University of Leicester, U.K. Fieldwork is one of the richest research methods in the Social Sciences. Originally, the preserve of anthropologists, notably Bronislaw Malinowski, it has now achieved a much wider relevance. This four volume set provides the most systematic guide to the method. The collection is a superb addition to the series, providing readers with a comprehensive and indispensable critical guide to Fieldwork. CONTENTS:
VOLUME ONE: ORIGINS AND DEFINITIONS OF FIELDWORK VOLUME TWO: THE FIELDWORK EXPERIENCE: METHODS AND METHODOLOGY VOLUME THREE: ETHICS AND POLITICS IN FIELDWORK VOLUME FOUR: FIELDWORK: ANALYSIS, OUTCOMES AND REFLECTIONS
Documentary Research
FOUR-VOLUME SET
Edited by John Scott University of Essex, Colchester, U.K. Documentary research involves the use of texts and documents as source materials: government publications, newspapers, certicates, census publications, novels, lm and video, paintings, personal photographs, diaries and innumerable other written, visual and pictorial sources in paper, electronic, or other `hard copy form. Along with surveys and ethnography, documentary research is one of the three major types of social research and arguably has been the most widely used of the three throughout the history of sociology and other social sciences. It has been the principal method indeed, sometimes the only one - for leading sociologists. The key issues surrounding types of documents and our ability to use them as reliable sources of evidence on the social world must be considered by all who use documents in their research. The paucity of sources available until now means that this compendium will be invaluable to social researchers. CONTENTS:
Volume One: Theory and Methods in Documentary Research Volume Two: Personal Documents: Autobiographies, Letters and Photographs Volume Three: Published Sources, The Mass Media and Cyber Documents Volume Four: Ofcial Reports, Administrative Records and Ofcial Statistics
Mixed Methods Research
Mixed Methods
FOUR-VOLUME SET
Edited by Alan Bryman University of Leicester Volume I is concerned with outlining the epistemological and ontological issues relating to the debate about quantitative and qualitative research and how these have an impact on the possibility of mixing methods. Volume II is concerned with the combination of different methods within quantitative research and within qualitative research. Volume III addresses the methodological issues involved in combining quantitative and qualitative research - the different ways in which mixed-methods research is actually accomplished. Volume IV continues the kinds of material used in Volume III but will also include some examples of combining quantitative and qualitative research. CONTENTS:
VOLUME I EPISTEMOLOGICAL AND ONTOLOGICAL ISSUES VOLUME II:MIXING METHODS AND TRIANGULATION VOLUME III: METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES IN COMBINING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH VOLUME IV: EXAMPLES OF COMBINING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

he SAGE Handbook for Social Research Methods is a must for every social-science researcher. It charts the new and evolving terrain of social research methodology, covering qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods in one volume.
The Handbook includes chapters on each phase of the research process: research design, methods of data collection, and the processes of analyzing and interpreting data. As its editors maintain, there is much more to research than learning skills and techniques; methodology involves the t between theory, research questions, research design, and analysis. The book also includes several chapters that describe historical and current directions in social research, debating crucial subjects such as qualitative versus quantitative paradigms, how to judge the credibility of types of research, and the increasingly topical issue of research ethics. The Handbook serves as an invaluable resource for approaching research with an open mind. This volume maps the eld of social research methods using an approach that will prove valuable for both students and researchers.

Research Design
FOUR-VOLUME SET
Edited by David de Vaus La Trobe University, Australia This collection brings together key articles and book chapters that provide an overview of research design for the social sciences, focusing on the purpose, nature, and types of research design - the architecture of research rather than the mechanics of running a research project. Emphasis is put on non-laboratory-based research designs that are typically encountered in the social sciences, those involving people rather than objects. The range of issues covered is impressive: the epististemology of social research design; the complex matters of causation and the logic of design; the importance of units of analsyis; the subjective elements of human behaviour and the role of qualitative and quantitative data. CONTENTS: PART I: THE NATURE OF RESEARCH DESIGN PART II: EPISTEMOLOGY AND RESEARCH DESIGN PART III: TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN
