Abstract

What immediately impressed me in reviewing Varieties of Qualitative Research Methods is its comprehensive compilation of qualitative research concepts, enriched by insights from a global community of academics and research practitioners, which truly sets an inclusive tone. As I understand its core purpose, this book directly addresses the evolving background of qualitative research, particularly in a world that is increasingly interconnected. The authors highlight a significant shift towards a more diverse and inclusive field, one that embraces varied epistemologies and ways of knowing. Consequently, the volume aims to serve as a crucial stage for academicians, regardless of their stage in their scholarly journey, to share knowledge, as well as universally applied, concepts, theories, approaches, and methods within qualitative inquiry.
