A GUIDE TO QUALITATIVE FIELD RESEARCH THIRD EDITION
Carol A. Bailey, Virginia Tech
A Guide to Qualitative Field Research provides readers with clear, practical, and specifi c instructions for conducting
qualitative research in the fi eld. In the expanded Third Edition, Carol A. Bailey gives increased attention to the early
and last stages of fi eld research, often the most diffi cult: selecting a topic, deciding upon the purpose of your research,
and writing the fi nal paper, with a generous number of examples to help readers to generate ideas. This edition
features research examples from graduate and undergraduate student research to make examples meaningful to fellow
students and illustrate that fi eld research is not only done by advanced scholars.

QUALITATIVE RESEARCH: Analyzing Life
Johnny Saldaña, Arizona State University • Matt Omasta, Utah State University
Qualitative Research: Analyzing Life presents a new and groundbreaking approach to teaching and learning
qualitative methods for social inquiry—one that focuses on analysis from the very beginning of the text. By exploring
qualitative research through a unique analytic lens starting in Chapter 1, then cumulatively elaborating on methods
in each successive chapter, this innovative work cultivates a skill set and literacy base so that when readers conduct
actual data collection and analysis in their own fi eldwork projects they are better prepared to work strategically with
their empirical materials. Renowned authors Johnny Saldaña and Matt Omasta combine clear, accessible writing and
analytic insight to show that analysis is a process undertaken throughout the entire research experience.
CONTENTS PART I: ANALYZING QUALITATIVE DATA / 1: Introduction: Analyzing Life / 2: Analyzing Field Sites / 3: Analyzing Documents, Artifacts,
and Visual Materials / 4: Analyzing Interviews: Preparing, Conducting, and Transcribing / 5: Analyzing Interviews: Condensing and Coding / PART II:
ANALYZING THE FRAMEWORK / 6: Analyzing Qualitative Methodologies / 7: Analyzing Qualitative Research Design / 8: Analyzing Research Ethics /
PART III: ANALYTIC ASSEMBLAGE / 9: Analytic Synthesis: Condensing, Patterning, and Unifying / 10: Analytic Synthesis: Understanding, Interpreting,
and Theorizing / 11: Analytic Write-Ups / 12: Analytic Presentations / 13: Closure: Leading an Analytic Life

THINKING QUALITATIVELY: Methods of Mind
Johnny Saldaña, Arizona State University
Written in Johnny Saldaña's elegant and accessible style, Thinking Qualitatively boldly pursues the challenge of
teaching researchers not just how to collect and analyze data, but how to actively think about them. Each chapter
presents one "method of mind" (thinking analytically, realistically, symbolically, ethically, multidisciplinarily, artistically,
summarily, interpretively, and narratively), together with applications, a vignette or story related to the thinking modality,
points to remember, and exercises.
CONTENTS 1. Introduction: Thinking about Thinking / 2. Thinking Analytically / 3. Thinking Realistically / 4. Thinking Symbolically / 5. Thinking
Ethically / 6. Thinking Multidisciplinarily / 7. Thinking Artistically / 8. Thinking Summarily / 9. Thinking Interpretively / 10. Thinking Narratively / 11.
Closure: Thoughts about Thinking
