Peregrine Schwartz-Shea and Dvora Yanow wrote Interpretive Research Design: Concepts and Processes with three readers in mind: the graduate student, the experienced re-searcher, and the teacher of interpretive methods (p. 3). As a graduate student whose work falls under the interpretive umbrella, I am in the unique position to offer an “insider’s” perspective on the accessibility and utility of this volume for the first group. To that end, my goal in the following is to articulate the strengths and weaknesses of this volume not only for graduate students with an interpretivist bent—including those who are either in the process of formulating a research project, applying for funding, or in a position in which they must defend their work to faculty and evaluators who may or may not be familiar with interpretive approaches—but also for the greater graduate student community. |
