Reviews

This volume scrubs the mystique off social theories, making them accessible and even agreeable to a much wider audience, thus opening up immeasurable opportunities for future creative application. As instructor and students, we could not recommend this book more highly. --Sherry Marx, Joel Gardner, Melanie Landon-Hayes, Debi Sheridan, Arla Westenskow, Kurt Johnson & Lindsey Thurgood, International Journal of Qualititative Studies in Education 2009 This has been a valuable book for me, and I recommend it to anyone considering using social theory in their research, particularly doctoral students. --Joseph A. Maxwell, Education Review, January 2010
