It has been noted by researchers from a variety of backgrounds that the dominant paradigms of social research have frequently failed to represent the viewpoints of many marginalized groups. The authors address issues such as ethnicity, sexual preferences and identity, disability, gender, ethnicity, health and old age: groups of people who may often be the focus on research but who have little control of what is said about them. Written by people from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures and nationalities, the chapters explore ways in which issues of social diversity and division within the research process might be addressed. While considering whether these issues can be addressed through an emancipatory research paradigm, the book also examines the philosophical tenets and methodological implications of such an approach.
