Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography

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.

This book may seem like a lot of text, and to be honest it is
but after reading through it, the concepts presented did make sense and provided a more rigid understanding of qualitative research.

Read for my Qualitative Methods Course, enjoyed reading the chapters. Dense with information and ponderings about ethics and power for each of the methods.

Found this really really useful and easy to read considering it's about something that's honestly pretty boring.
