Synopsis This option explores some critical issues in doing social
research which tend to be marginalised or ignored in methodological cookbooks.
Themes covered include ethical controversies, relations of power in the
research process, and the construction of research accounts. There is a
particular emphasis on feminist social research and its engagement with
postmodernist critiques.
