This was a clear and insightful textbook assigned in a qualitative studies class I took. I will likely reference it many times as I navigate writing proposals especially with a dissertation in mind.

A very rich and informative guide to design qualitative research. I read this book a few months before starting with my thesis. I used this book as a personal reference to guide me with the research part of my thesis. I recommend this book for university students.

Nice that it includes critical theory and many alternating viewpoints on how one might choose to design a qualitative proposal.
