By: Judge, Parmjit S [author.].
Publisher: Jaipur : Rawat Publication, 2021Description: x, 207p.ISBN: 9788131612071.Subject(s): Social sciences -- Research -- India | Social sciences -- Research -- India. -- MethodologyDDC classification: 300.72 Summary: The present work by exclusively focusing on the practice of conducting research in India is an effort to map various forms of research practices in social sciences by situating it in the general context of various epistemological issues. Without essentialising the methods of research, it primarily argues for the collection of authentic data by treating it as the cornerstone of social research. In the process, the book brings out the stifling effect of the standardised methodologies on the epistemological practices. As a corollary to it, the work identifies three forms of field work which constitute the fundamentals of the research practice; and in the process, it demolishes the myth of much hailed value neutrality-objectivity nexus in sociology in particular.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
