On Writing Qualitative Research

This text is both about writing up qualitative research and is itself a qualitative study. The written reflections of students on the writing process and the interpretations and presentations of their findings provide a base of data which the authors have, in turn, analyzed and incorporated into their text. They have added accounts of their own experiences, and those of their colleagues and other published authors. All of these are woven into a theoretical framework that discusses them in detail. 1.To you from us 2.What is there about writing? 3.Creating forms - informing understanding; working in analytic modes 4.Working in interpretive modes 5.Negotiating, collaborating, responding; ripples on the self/ripples on others 6.Qualitative research writing - what makes it worthwhile after all?
