Questions in Qualitative Social Justice Research in Multicultural Contexts

Questions in Qualitative Social Justice Research in Multicultural Contexts take readers on an accessible and inspiring journey to critically self-reflect on current or future research practices, to encourage and facilitate greater equity, inclusion and social justice in qualitative research. In a diverse world, 'doing' qualitative research needs unpacking and developing awareness of interconnected perspectives and challenges. However, as researchers, there is not always a chance to fully prepare or self-reflect on the processes and experiences.

This book raises awareness of key multidimensional aspects of social justice, such as power, privilege, trust, insider-outsiderness, ethics, arts-based, co-produced and decolonial research. The authors connect theory and conceptual construct with practical in-field realities, guiding researchers through the dynamic, evolving steps to give voice to and promote social justice practices in research. Includes the following features to guide thinking for researchers and students:Bolded key terms and questions for self-reflectionBoxed case studies from both top international scholars and emerging scholarsGlossary of key termsThis foundational book can be used as a jumping-off point to engage and critically self-reflect about research moving us towards decolonizing research practice, creating more inclusive, equitable, and socially-just research.

It will be suitable for upper-level / postgraduate students and all researchers interested in qualitative methods in education and the social and behavioural sciences.
