Zusammenfassung

Sociological research is filled with quandaries and tensions that need to be negotiated, especially where the research purpose is to gain an inside and interrelational perspective. Such a perspective embraces a level of intimacy in the co-construction and analysis of data that requires researchers to engage with not just their voices but also the voice/s of the participant/s. The authors emphasize that research methodologies as well as teaching should include democratic processes as well as the fact that researchers must always consider the ethics associated with how they collect and analyze their data.
