Ethics and Representation in Qualitative Studies of Literacy

by Peter Mortensen (Editor)

This collection of essays addresses the most pressing questions faced by qualitative researchers how to represent others and themselves in research narratives, how to address ethical dilemmas in research-participant relations, and how to deal with various rhetorical, institutional, and historical constraints on research. Through revealing introspection, self-critique, and reflection, contributors reassess their own work, pointing to successes as well as shortcomings.
