The Politics and Ethics of Fieldwork (Qualitative Research Methods, Vol. 3)

By Maurice Punch

Book Overview

Sustained, intensive fieldwork involves the negotiation of trust between the researcher and the researched. In The Politics and Ethics of Fieldwork, Maurice Punch catalogues and illustrates occasions of trust-making and breaking among the many parties who are actively engaged in a research project. This is not, however, a dry listing of do′s and don′ts. Professor Punch has provided a vivid, witty, sometimes ironic presentation packed with lively personal detail.
