This text provides an easy-to-read introduction to qualitative research methods in social work, taking into account contemporary contexts and social conditions.Drawing from a range of social work perspectives, it allows the reader to make the connection between social work values, theory and specific research methods and approaches.Comprised of 11 chapters, it covers overarching epistemological perspectives and knowledge construction; designing a research question; research design and methods; data collection and analysis; research ethics and dissemination; and impact and research translation. Highlighting social work’s unique commitment to social justice, it positions social work research as embedded in the profession’s values.As the first book to comprehensively connect social work values and emancipatory frameworks, including decolonising practices, with research methods, it shows readers the connection between social work theory and choices in relation to ethical research design.This book is suitable for use on all BSW and MSW research modules across Australia and New Zealand as well as social work courses across the UK.
