New to research? This book helps you understand, think about and interpret each stage of the research process before you dive in. The holistic coverage helps you 'think through' each step, from formulating questions, to selecting methods, collecting data and analyzing results.

With new content on the ethics of digital research, online interviews and data protection, you will also find:

• 11 new Student Research Spotlights that demonstrate how you can foster a reflexive mindset;
• A strong emphasis on social justice, including principles for culturally-responsive research and methodologies that challenge colonial perspectives;
• 34 case studies of real-world research that apply theory to global contexts, from Portugal, to Germany to Canada.

This new edition is essential for any undergraduate or postgraduate student looking to conduct social research with confidence and capability.
