Fieldwork, Participation and Practice
Ethics and Dilemmas in Qualitative Research
- Marlene de Laine - Independent Qualitative Research Consultant, Tea Tree Gully, Australia
This timely and topical look at the role of ethics in fieldwork takes into account some of the major issues confronting qualitative researchers. The main purposes of this book are twofold: to promote an understanding of the harmful possibilities of fieldwork; and to provide ways of dealing with ethical problems and dilemmas. To these ends, examples of actual fieldwork are provided that address ethical problems and dilemmas, and posit ways of dealing with them.
A useful guide for undergraduate and postgraduate research.
Very few occupational therapy students at our university are interested to pursue a master's in this field. But colleagues have been made aware of the book and might order it when then want to work from it - it is a very useful resource.
Interesting text which provides a very indepth analysis of the topic area. An essential read for those who want to avoid some of the pitfalls of this methodological approach
