Drawing on the authors' extensive experience of real research settings, this book:
- Pinpoints the importance of reflexivity in social research
- Demonstrates its relevance to everyday life
- Firmly locates the concept in the history of ideas
- Explores key questions about the bases of knowledge and understanding
