Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography by Iain Hay

Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography is a comprehensive, practical guide to understanding and conducting qualitative research in human geography. Using a unique "how-to" approach to focus on the practical application of research in human geography by providing real-world examples of research methods at work in case studies, this fourth edition teaches students how to plan, execute, interpret, and effectively communicate qualitative research. With the inclusion of new Canadian and North American examples throughout, in addition to international and Asia-Pacific examples, the text achieves its goal of providing an in-depth overview of qualitative research methods relevant to human geography that is both readable and accessible for students. Now in its fourth edition, Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography returns with improved readability for undergraduate students, end-of-chapter review exercises, and an appendix of example field notes, making the text much more accessible, current, and relevant to today's human geography students. Three new chapters have also been added on the topics of feminist and indigenous approaches, visual methods, and new media.

"From an excellent primer for undergraduate students to an invaluable and often 'dog-eared' resource for graduate students, this is the most comprehensive and accessible text on qualitative methodologies and methods in geography" --Mark Skinner, Trent University "The main strengths of this textbook are that it situates qualitative methods within broader theoretical and epistemological contexts. . . . The focus on ethics and epistemology, balanced by practical considerations, sets this text apart from others." --Gwendolyn Blue, University of Calgary
