Research for Social Justice

Discover a transformative perspective in "Research for Social Justice," authored by Adje Van De Sande and published by Fernwood Publishing Co Ltd in 2017. This compelling second edition spans 250 pages and delves into the critical examination of social research methodologies.

Van De Sande and co-author Karen Schwartz challenge the conventional empiricist and positivist views that dominate most social research texts. They contend that while elements of the scientific method are indeed beneficial, social research must inherently acknowledge and embrace its value-laden nature. This book invites readers to rethink the role of ethics and subjectivity in research, making it an essential read for anyone passionate about social justice and the complexities of human behavior.

If you're a researcher, student, or simply intrigued by the interplay of research and social justice, this book will provide invaluable insights into crafting a more equitable and meaningful approach to research.
