Reflecting the growth of interest among qualitative researchers in the nature of their craft, this collection extends the value of the critically acclaimed First Edition of Qualitative Research, edited by Alan Bryman and Robert G. Burgess by emphasizing key issues that demand the attention of qualitative researchers. It explores with topics that have come increasingly to the fore in the years since the publication Qualitative Research in 1999. Thus, topics such as visual research, biographical method, narrative analysis, computer-assisted qualitative data analysis, and reflexivity that have become more prominent over the last five years are given the greater attention they increasingly warrant.
