Description
Research and Inequality explores how social research paradigms can fail to represent marginalized groups. This collection addresses issues such as ethnicity, identity, disability, gender, health, and old age by considering alternative approaches that prioritize the perspectives of these groups. The authors examine ways to address social diversity within the research process, including the potential benefits of an emancipatory research paradigm. The book also delves into the philosophical underpinnings and methodological implications of such an approach. Through contributions from researchers with diverse backgrounds and cultures, this collection offers insights into how research can be conducted in a more inclusive and equitable manner.
