An End to the Crisis of Empirical Sociology?: Trends and Challenges in Social ResearchLinda McKie, Louise Ryan Research data are everywhere. In our everyday interactions, through social media, credit cards and even public transport, we generate and use data. The challenge for sociologists is how to collect, analyse and make best use of these vast arrays of information.
The book provides up to date and accessible material of interest to diverse audiences, including students and teachers of research design and methods, as well as policy analysis and social media. |
