Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through conducting an ethnographic study about doctoral students from traditionally underrepresented groups who are learning to conduct ethnographic research, this volume offers unique insight into the challenges and experiences through which these students develop their skills and identities as qualitative researchers. Foregrounding the stories and perspectives of students from minority backgrounds including Latinx, Black, differently abled, and queer students, Graduate Students Becoming Qualitative Researchers identifies how the process of learning to conduct ethnographic research underpins doctoral students’ success, confidence, and persistence in the academy. Chapters follow students during a one-year ethnographic research course during which they learn about ethnography, and also conduct observations, write field notes, interview participants, and gather artifacts. Offering important pedagogical insights into how ethnography and academic writing are communicated, the text also tackles questions of access and diversity within scholarship and highlights barriers to first-generation and minoritized students' success, including impostor syndrome, stereotype vulnerability, and access to time, knowledge, and capital. This volume will prove valuable to doctoral students, postgraduate researchers, scholars, and educators conducting qualitative research across the fields of education and rhetoric, as well as the humanities and social sciences. It will also appeal to those interested in multiculturalism and diversity within the education sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text offers a brief but comprehensive overview of qualitative research that balances the practicalities of conducting research with the theory and debates that keep qualitative inquiry vibrant. As faculty and students increasingly turn to qualitative inquiry, they need a text that will not only provide them with an understanding of qualitative research methods, but also open them to the diverse possibilities within this inquiry approach. This text covers the range of possibilities and includes numerous exercises that offer beginning students the opportunity to practice and refine the skills needed for qualitative research. The wealth of examples in the text is exceptional, as is the accessible and engaging writing style. New To This Edition: Suggested Readings and Exercises are added to the end of each chapter. A new Glossary of Key Terms introduces students to the meaning and use of important research terms. Chapter 1 is heavily revised to include an introduction to four research paradigms and their theoretical and philosophical underpinnings. Chapter 2 has a new section on research purposes. This change will assist students in creating their personal research foci. Chapters 3 and 4 have expanded discussions on use of internet and virtual reality sites in data collection. Chapter 3 has an expanded section on collection and use of visual data (photographs, maps, diagrams, etc.). Chapter 4 has an expanded discussion on technology for recording and transcribing interviews. This provides information on technological advances that can assist in the research process. Chapter 5 is heavily edited and revised, and now titled "Personal Dimensions: Field Relations and Reflexivity." More attention is given to feminist and poststructuralist challenges to prior conceptions of researcher-other relationships. Chapter 6 features a new ethics discussions on privacy and the internet and on representation. These discussions are intended to increase awareness of some of the ethical challenges posed by technology and by publishing. Chapter 9 is expanded to include discussions and new examples of autoethnography, ethnodrama, and poetic transcription. New examples and tables are added throughout the text. These additions assist students' understanding of accompanying discussions. What Students Are Saying: "Dr. Glesne encourages qualitative researchers to approach their data in fresh, dynamic ways, including poetic transcription and dramatic representation. These creative methods challenged me to examine my data using new perspectives, and allowed me to represent the voices of my participants more authentically."-- Bethany Rice (University of Vermont graduate student)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do education researchers navigate the qualitative research process? How do they manage and negotiate myriad decision points at which things can take an unexpected – and sometimes problematic – turn? Whilst these questions are relevant for any research process, the specific issues qualitative researchers face can have impactful repercussions, that if managed adeptly, can lead to successful and even new research opportunities. Navigating Challenges in Qualitative Educational Research includes narratives that provide real world experiences and accounts of how researchers navigated problematic situations, as well as their considerations in doing so. These contributions give students and researchers a chance to understand the possibilities of research challenges and better prepare for these eventualities and how to deal with them. Providing educative windows into the challenges and missteps even seasoned researchers face along the way, this book is an invaluable resource for graduate students and early career qualitative researchers, particularly those who are interested in education.

Presented are a wealth of pedagogical tools that instructors across the disciplines can tailor to their own needs, including thought-provoking discussion questions, group work exercises, and field activities. The authors discuss issues and choices in course design, including approaches to assessment and grading, and share sample syllabi for both online and face-to-face course formats. Exploring the complexities and debates that surround teaching qualitative research, the book argues for a holistic model of preparing novice researchers. It demonstrates effective ways to engage students in the qualitative inquiry process from start to finish--from understanding positionality and crafting a research problem to writing up findings for different audiences.
