101 Golden Nuggets for Preparing a Qualitative Dissertation

The 101 "nuggets of understanding" that comprise this book shed light on the required content of a qualitative dissertation. They help readers navigate through the iterative, recursive, and often messy dissertation process, from its inception to a successful completion right from the planning stage, through data collection and analysis, all the way to writing up, presenting, and publishing. Each nugget is posed in the form of a question, as if in conversation with the reader, and will hopefully stimulate critical thinking, reflection, and dialogue. This book is the place to turn to for quick (though not simplified) answers to key questions based on the latest developments in the field of qualitative research. It will motivate doctoral students or prospective doctoral students to seek and consult additional relevant texts and resources in order to delve deeper into the many issues involved in preparing for a qualitative dissertation.
