Overview
Violence, democracy and rights are issues that are not fully addressed =
in research methodology literatures, yet violence is of vital interest =
in substantive and theoretical debates across the social sciences, =
education, philosophy, politics and cultural studies. Methodology needs =
to be informed by, and be relevant to, the debates and practices within =
and across these perspectives on the worlds of everyday life.
=20
Research is fundamentally entwined with the political, the ethical and =
the legal. When it presumes the neutrality of method and ignores its =
radical roots of inquiry, it is in danger of being politically co-opted =
and ethically na=EFve. Research that reveals what is at stake =
politically, ethically and legally is typically open to accusations of =
being partisan and therefore political. It cannot avoid being political =
in the broadest sense of the word, and consequently the researcher =
cannot escape =96 through some mystical notion of being =91objective=92 =
=96 the political, ethical and legal consequences of undertaking =
research.
=20
Research is vital to the construction of public spaces for debate, =
decision making and action. Hence, there is a close relationship between =
methodological practices, research design and the conditions under which =
violence, democracy and rights can be addressed.

Researching Violence, Democracy and the Rights of People explores what =
is at stake methodologically (both theoretically and practically) for =
researchers seeking to expand opportunities for people to become visible =
upon the public stages of debate, decision making and action, and thus =
make audible their experiences of wrongs and injustices, express their =
rights, and engage democratically in processes of change.
Drawing on international contributions and contexts, this book =
introduces readers to the complex realities of real research and the =
substantive issues that their methodological approaches strive to deal =
with. It will benefit undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as =
post-doctoral and experienced researchers across a range of cultural and =
social science disciplines, as well as educational and sociological =
researchers. Its aim is to explore and contribute to the development of =
innovatory approaches to engaging in research that make a difference in =
the lives of people.
