Greg Dimitriadis, Associate Professor, SUNY Buffalo"I think this is a potentially exciting project, which will open up an important pedagogical, practical, and theoretical discussion in education. . . . I think this book has a great deal of potential. It is certainly publishable with substantial revisions, such as those I suggested above. I think it would be a primary text in graduate-level qualitative research seminars in schools of education. This would be, it think, its only audience—though it is a big one. Many want a volume that draws together the more practical with the more conceptual aspects of research."Sari Biklen, Professor, Syracuse UniversityI highly recommend this book for publication. I think it approaches the topic with all the complexity it needs to have, and has an innovative approach that encourages the writing of memos with the learning of the important issues. My only reservation is that it should be connected to the doing of fieldwork while students engage these issues. Also, some reference to data analysis is needed. Otherwise it’s a splendid addition to an important field. I would look forward to using it. Kudos to the author for this terrific proposal.
