Qualitative Inquiry and Human Rights cover

Qualitative researchers are increasingly being called upon to become human rights advocates, to help individuals and communities honor the sanctity of life, and to promote the core values of privacy, justice, freedom, peace, and human dignity. In this volume of plenary papers from the Fifth International of Qualitative Inquiry in 2009, leading qualitative researchers show the various dimensions of the human rights work being done by scholar/activists in the social sciences, education, health care, social services, cultural studies, and other fields.

"Qualitative Inquiry and Human Rights... is an invitation and a space to reflect critically on what, how and why we are engaged in qualitative inquiry. It provides an original and stimulating account of the condition of, and potential for, qualitative research and represents a timely contribution of the idea that researchers could - should - contribute to promoting human rights and social justice. It is a rewarding read and a welcome opportunity to hear a range of voices from the research community, all of which remind us that social research cannot stand on the periphery of society." --Corinne Funnell, Qualitative Research
