Qualitative Inquiry and the Politics of Research

This volume of plenary addresses and other key presentations from the 2014 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry highlights the politics of research in the neoliberal state and the role of qualitative researchers in that debate. Marginalized by an increasingly top-down assessment-driven university system the fifteen contributors from a variety of disciplines show the responses of qualitative scholars in their research writing advocacy and teaching both inside the university and in the broader society. Sponsored by the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry.
