FQS 6(3) -- The State of the Art of Qualitative Research in Europe
Dear All,
I would like to inform you that the 19th FQS Issue -- "The State of the
Art of Qualitative Research in Europe"
(http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt3-05-e.htm), edited
by Hubert Knoblauch, Uwe Flick & Christoph Maeder in cooperation with
Iain Lang -- is available online. The contributions provide unique
insights into the variety and richness of qualitative social research in
Europe (without limiting the issue to a solely European perspective). As
always, in addition to articles relating to "The State of the Art of
Qualitative Research in Europe," FQS 6(3) also provides selected single
contributions and articles that belong to the FQS Debate on Qualitative
Research and Ethics, to FQS Reviews, and to FQS Conferences.

- Documents, 1st Berlin Meeting on Qualitative Research Methods
C) From our Readers
