Description

Written from an interpretive and constructionist perspective, this insightful book explores how to conduct case study research focusing on the lived experience of those in the case. Helen Simons shines a spotlight on the use of art forms and story in case study research alongside other qualitative methods that advance intuitive understanding and inclusion. Underpinning this focus are epistemic justice and democratic ethics. In a lively, personal style, Simons distills expertise and practical wisdom gained over decades of conducting case study research of programs, policies, and institutions. Chapters consider how to design, conduct, and interpret case study research; write up cases for different audiences; assure validity and quality; and generalize from a single case. Helpful features include examples, summaries, practical tips, “Pauses to Reflect,” and annotated suggestions for further reading.
