Using Biographical Methods in Social Research provides an informative,
comprehensive, accessible and practical guide to the nature and use of
biographical methods, combining a consideration of theoretical issues
with practical guidance as well as reflections on the personal experience
of doing research.
Barbara Merrill and Linden West consider important questions about
who and what research is for and what makes it valid, alongside the
practical business of interviewing, transcribing, analyzing and writing
up of biographical data. The authors draw on their sociological and
psychological orientations to provide a truly interdisciplinary approach
to the subject, and provide numerous examples of biographical research
across the social sciences.
This book will equip students with all the skills necessary to undertake
biographical research as well as to better understand what they are doing
and the assumptions they make about the nature of truth, knowledge,
story telling and being human. It will be useful for students and researchers
using biographical methods in a range of disciplines, including gender
studies, sociology, social policy, social psychology, social work, health care
and education.
