Heuristic Inquiry

Focused on exploring human experience from an integrative perspective, Heuristic Inquiry: Researching Human Experience HolisticallyA presents heuristic inquiry as a unique phenomenologically aligned, experiential, and relational approach to qualitative research that is also rigorous and evidence based. The author describes a distinguishing perspective of this research that treats participants not as subjects of research but rather as co-researchers in an exploratory process marked by genuineness and intersubjectivity. Through the use of real-life examples illustrating the various processes of heuristic research, the book offers an understanding of heuristic inquiry that is straightforward and informal yet honors its creative, intuitive, and polydimensional nature.'A must-read for anyone interested in qualitative research.'A Graham Bright, York St John University, UK'This text provides a valuable service to novice and experienced researchers through its straightforward, yet complex and nuanced approach to heuristic inquiry.'Joseph McNabb, Northeastern UniversityA Available withA Perusallaan eBook that makes it easier to prepare for classPerusallA is an award-winning eBook platform featuringA social annotation tools that allow students and instructors to collaboratively mark up and discuss their SAGE textbook.
