The SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research Ethics

This handbook is a much-needed and in-depth review of the distinctive set of ethical considerations which accompanies qualitative research. This is particularly crucial given the emergent, dynamic and interactional nature of most qualitative research, which too often allows little time for reflection on the important ethical responsibilities and obligations



Contributions from leading international researchers have been carefully organised into six key thematic sections:

Part One: Thick Descriptions Of Qualitative Research Ethics

Part Two: Qualitative Research Ethics By Technique

Part Three: Ethics As Politics

Part Four: Qualitative Research Ethics With Vulnerable Groups

Part Five: Relational Research Ethics

Part Six: Researching Digitally

This Handbook is a one-stop resource on qualitative research ethics across the social sciences that draws on the lessons learned and the successful methods for surmounting problems – the tried and true, and the new.
