Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uniquely analyzes gender bias in qualitative research and considers the impact of this bias on researchers and their work. The author deconstructs existing qualitative research methods to critique areas where researcher bias creeps in; for example, how the researcher's own cultural background, life history, beliefs, and assumptions might influence their judgment of data and outcome of the research. This book considers the historical context of qualitative research, the impact of the traditional researcher-subject relationship, power dynamics, and dominant discourses. It offers a novel theoretical framework and practical strategies to help researchers develop an awareness of their own biases, and to minimize their impact on research design, analysis, and dissemination. This groundbreaking work will be an invaluable resource to social scientists, researchers, and students in qualitative research.
