Synopsis
Based on an Open University course for a master's program in the social sciences, nine chapters by UK instructors aim to cultivate reflection on the philosophical assumptions and context of research practices. Viewed through various theoretical lenses (e.g. those of Derrida, Spinoza, and feminists like E. Grosz), processes include developing questions, knowledge production, ethics, analysis as theory-building, and reflexive communication. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
