Trade ReviewThis book is filled with rich accounts of what it means to research social justice in socially just ways. It is inspirational for both novice and experienced researchers who are committed to social justice and the importance of thinking deeply about how we undertake such research. * Jan McArthur, Senior Lecturer of Education and Social Justice, Lancaster University, UK *
Any social science researcher seeking an evolved moral and ethical research will … find this volume instructive. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals. * CHOICE *
The book ranges over a great deal of ground, and presents a nuanced, provocative, and useful compendium of research methods and case studies which is widely applicable to educational researchers, and indeed to all researchers seeking an equitable and just approach to fieldwork. * In Factis Pax *
Ideal for postgraduate students in that it goes further than the many core textbooks on research methods and contains many interesting ideas for research in specific areas in social justice.
