"This article relates common ways of conceptualising action research as 'intervention', 'collaboration', 'interactive research', 'applied research', and 'practitioner research' to a number of different ways of knowing, extracted from the works of Aristotle. The purpose is not to disavow any of these practices but to expand the philosophical, methodological, and theoretical horizon to contain the Aristotelian concept of praxis. It is claimed that praxis knowing needs to be comprehended in order to realize the full, radical potential in action research providing real 'added value' in relation to more conventional social research approaches. Praxis knowing radically challenges the divisions of labour between knower-researchers and the known-researched. Thereby it also challenges both the epistemologies and institutionalisations dominating both conventional research and conventional ways of conceptualising action research." (author's abstract)

This open access book introduces vignette research to new and experienced researchers by guiding them through its history, theory and underlying principles before delving into step-by-step practical guidance on how to do vignette research. Vignette research is an innovative qualitative, narrative and phenomenological research methodology that has gained international recognition, sparking interest from a wide range of individuals and institutions in global contexts. Vignettes are concise narratives, which capture human experiences in real life settings. They reveal surprising or intriguing facets and intangible moments. The experiential narratives resonate with readers and reduce the distance between the researcher and the researched. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC-BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).

"First published as What is Qualitative Longitudinal Research?, this title is now available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series. This book offers a definitive introduction to Qualitative Longitudinal Research (QLR) by Bren Neale, one of the world's foremost authorities in the field. QLR is defined broadly as qualitative enquiry that is conducted through or in relation to time. The chapters follow a logical development, from conceptual and methodological foundations, to research practice and ethics, to the generation and analysis of data. Each chapter offers practical examples drawn from the research field to illustrate key themes and the rich possibilities for new applications"--

In qualitativen Interviews können Situationen, in denen die Forschenden von ihrem üblichen "Skript" abweichen, Hinweise auf Interaktionen liefern, die durch die Hautfarbe der am Gespräch Beteiligten und damit einhergehende Erfahrungen konstituiert sind. In der hier vorgestellten Studie wurden 40 Interviews zwischen Forschenden/Beforschten durchgeführt, die sich selbst als "schwarz" oder "weiß" identifizierten. Im Folgenden werden Auszüge aus diesen Interviews präsentiert, die zeigen, in welcher Weise die (gleiche oder unterschiedliche) Hautfarbe thematisch und wirksam wird. Implikationen und Vorschläge für künftige Forschungen in diesem Feld und für Studien zu Ethnizität und Kultur werden abgeleitet.

"In this article, we outline the main elements concerning the evolution of
action research and participatory research that we have come across in the
last decades. These concepts have come closer together along the years,
and have become a strong methodological alternative, especially in
people-driven projects. They have gained ground in the scientific world,
in the fields of social science, as well as in other more conservative
domains, as demonstrated by some of our experiences in Brazil. Their
importance in the context of teaching, in universities and educational
projects alike, is also stressed. The aspect of participation is defined in
more detail in regards to the different degrees and forms of participation,
as well as its religious component in Brazil. Action research and participatory
research are, finally, methodologies that, in light of their potential for
encompassing the stakeholders' view in the results and developing a sharing
culture, must constantly be renewed in order to evolve and always be a
rich source of knowledge and critical thinking.." (author's abstract)
