Why this book
Starting a qualitative study means making decisions about questions, relationships, evidence, and interpretation. Corrine Glesne’s fifth edition helps beginning researchers think through those decisions while recognizing that research develops through reflection as well as planning. It connects methodological ideas with the practical work of entering a setting, gathering material, and making sense of what you find.
The book introduces qualitative research methods including participant observation, interviewing, document work, and visual inquiry. It also considers researcher roles, rapport, reflexivity, and ethical responsibilities. Later chapters move into analysis, writing, arts-based inquiry, and sharing research, giving students a view of the project beyond data collection.
Use it while developing a proposal or working through an introductory methods course. Its examples and exercises encourage readers to examine choices and practice skills. The text offers a foundation for thoughtful inquiry rather than a fixed recipe that fits every research setting.
What you'll learn

- Examine rapport, researcher roles, and reflexivity
- Evaluate ethical responsibilities in fieldwork
