Doing work-based research: approaches to enquiry for insider-researchers

With interest in practitioner-led research growing, this timely book looks atthe issues faced by 'insider researchers' - those doing research projects in the organizations and communities in which they themselves work, or where theyare already familiar with the setting. The authors explore the implications of these research contexts, and discuss approaches and methodologies that researchers in these contexts might adopt, with a particular focus on ethics - one of the key concerns for students undertaking a research project of this type. This book is for anyone undertaking a research project based on work practice,including postgraduate, undergraduate and doctoral students. Students on work-based programmes or modules including education, healthcare and business courses, whose research projects are often undertaken in workplace settings, will find it particularly useful.
