Salsa Dancing into the Social Sciences: A Practical Guide to Research in an Age of Information Overload
This unique book offers a fresh approach to social research, drawing inspiration from the practice of salsa dancing. Kristin Luker provides guidance for novice researchers on defining and completing a project, as well as introducing the history and philosophy of modern social science.
