From Subjects to Subjectivities A Handbook of Interpretive and Participatory Methods

"A wonderfully constructive achievement that justly reclaims the legacy of action research in psychology. Giving the reader a broad and diverse view of the vibrant new work in this area, the book is a superb resource for anyone wanting to familiarize themselves with state of the art psychological action research. It also serves the newcomer admirably as an introduction to action research generally and to some of its most talented practitioners." - Davydd J. Greenwood,Goldwin Smith Professor of Anthropology, Cornell University "Destined to become a classic in all areas of psychology as we expand our view of psychological methods. This collection will become a must-have to train students to go beyond traditional methods in psychology, as well as for those researchers who want to expand their training and engage in research that speaks to the general public. The discipline as a whole will be enriched by the publication of this book." - Aída Hurtado,University of California, Santa Cruz "Moves the spotlight from experiments to experience. A fabulous array of psychological stars show us both what qualitative psychology is and how to do it. This book has the potential to change the field of psychology by opening it up to diverse empirical approaches and compelling subject matter." - Shulamit Reinharz,Brandeis University "I commend this book to researchers and teachers of researchers alike. We are indebted to the pioneering authors for sharing their experience and frankly addressing the issues and practical barriers to pursuing justice through feminist research."
