Description
Experience Research Social Change has long been a comprehensive and accessible resource for learning social research oriented toward social change. The third edition has been thoroughly revised and reorganized, and offers a wider range of diverse examples that are woven throughout the text, including transdisciplinary research, sex and gender analysis, intersectional analysis, Indigenous methodologies, community-based research, digital and online approaches to research, ethics, and more. Questions and additional readings have been added to the end of each chapter, and sidebars and suggested activities throughout highlight key messages and additional resources.
From the introduction to the conclusion, this book is a jewel. In clear, crisp, and concise writing, the authors have managed to offer the complexities and, often, the contradictions of producing knowledge from a position of power. The authors address these complexities by outlining a collaborative process designed to collapse boundaries and reduce inequalities. A must-read for everyone interested in research offering possibilities for social change. -- Blye Frank, University of British Columbia This is a comprehensive and highly readable text for research students. It explains complex concepts in a straightforward manner, and includes illustrations that demonstrate how ideas have been put into practice in real life research. I would not hesitate in recommending this text to my students. The strong feminist approach, as well as the emphasis on Indigenous research, is to be welcomed. -- Angie Hart, University of Brighton ...essential reading for researchers, professors, graduate students, and community groups who want to undertake research aimed at social change. -- Guylaine Demers, Laval University Superb! A must-read... -- Colleen Dell, Addiction Research Chair, University of Saskatchewan
