Qualitative Educational Research by Wendy Luttrell

Qualitative Educational Research by Wendy Luttrell

Qualitative Educational Research is a comprehensive anthology designed to deepen education students' thinking about their qualitative research purposes, questions, and decision-making.

Greg Dimitriadis, Associate Professor, SUNY Buffalo

"I think this is a potentially exciting project, which will open up an important pedagogical, practical, and theoretical discussion in education. . . I think this book has a great deal of potential. It is certainly publishable with substantial revisions, such as those I suggested above. I think it would be a primary text in graduate-level qualitative research seminars in schools of education. This would be, it think, its only audience—though it is a big one. Many want a volume that draws together the more practical with the more conceptual aspects of research."

Sari Biklen, Professor, Syracuse University

I highly recommend this book for publication. I think it approaches the topic with all the complexity it needs to have, and has an innovative approach that encourages the writing of memos with the learning of the important issues. My only reservation is that it should be connected to the doing of fieldwork while students engage these issues. Also, some reference to data analysis is needed. Otherwise it’s a splendid addition to an important field. I would look forward to using it. Kudos to the author for this terrific proposal.

"This terrific collection is a goldmine. It should be required reading in all methods classes. Luttrell is a skilled teacher on every page, helping readers develop the habits of mind essential for responsible research practice."
--Catherine Kohler Riessman, Research Professor, Department of Sociology, Boston College

"An accomplished and innovative ethnographer herself, Wendy Luttrell has called upon her own deep knowledge of the epistemological, practical, and ethical issues of the field to compile this stimulating collection of essays. This comprehensive exploration of the many facets of qualitative research is a gift to students preparing to undertake qualitative research studies in education."

--Kathleen Weiler, Professor of Education, Department of Education, Tufts University

"There are lots of books on qualitative methods, but none like this one. Wendy Luttrell has put together a brilliant and unique collection of essays that interrogate and complicate the process of and products of qualitative research."
--Stacey J. Lee, Professor of Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison
