Research Methods In Anthropology: Qualitative And Quantitative Approaches

Research Methods in Anthropology: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches

Research Methods in Anthropology achieves a comprehensive balance of both qualitative and quantitative methods, while offering a wealth of examples from across the social sciences for better understanding. Like the first edition, the second edition's focus remains on pedagogy through clear writing and examples of real social science work. But there is now more. Containing additional material on the positivist/interpretivist debate; information on ethics, sampling and focus groups; and the use of methods for theory development, Bernard's book will offer your students the information they need to complete qualitative and quantitative research projects. About the Author H. RUSSELL BERNARD is professor of anthropology at the University of Florida. A specialist on writing and publishing previously non-written languages and on social network analysis, he is author of half a dozen books and editor of the journal Field Methods.
