- Synopsis
- If there is a single question that presses upon the intellect of the current generation of social scientists, it is surely: what do the great insights of social theory imply for the way we conduct research and write about the social world?. Until now there has been no single text to turn to that explores the epistemological complexities of field work, the problems of writing and language, and of the logics of inquiry that link theory, method and evidence. Using Social Theory is a magisterial effort to open up the black-box of research methods, and to provide students, in a way that no other comparable text has done, with a road map for the practice of the contemporary human sciences' - Michael Watts, Chancellor's Professor of Geography and Director Institute of International Studies, University of California, Berkeley From theory talk to making it walk, Using Social Theory is one of the most useful and interesting books on the market.
