Insider/Outsider Team Research

The relationship between outside researchers and the people inside the setting being researched is examined in this volume. The authors consider not only the relationship between insiders and outsiders but also the implications for the quality of knowledge gained from such research.

The book begins with an analysis of the theoretical bases of insider//outsider research. It goes on to provide a primer on conducting such research, and present a detailed example of insider//outsider collaboration. Finally, the practical challenges inherent to this sort of research are examined.
