The methodological dilemma revisited: creative, critical and collaborative approaches to qualitative research for a new era

In this work, authors examine what in their research processes has given pause, thwarted the process of seamless productivity, or stalled the easy research output but has, instead, insisted upon a deeper analysis.

This resistance of the expedient explanation has consequences both for the research topics under study and the ways in which qualitative research is conducted in a globalized era of deepening social inequality.

The book is pedagogical in its orientation and reflects upon the politics of knowledge construction.

Working with queer and minoritized youth communities, and other precarious publics, the authors convey their relationships to groups they are inside or outside of, or allied with - posing ethical questions about research designs and worldviews.
