At the beginning of writing a thesis, many questions arise, for example: • How do I know that I have formulated a relevant research problem? • Have I chosen the right empirical method? • Are interviews or observations appropriate? • How should I structure my text to get my point across in the best way? • What exactly is a theory? • How can the quality of my work be assessed? Crafting Your Thesis is a broad and accessible handbook in qualitative methods that gives you clear and concise answers to these questions – and many more. The book can be used both in introductory university courses, where you as a student encounter questions of method for perhaps the first time, and right up to Master’s thesis level, where it gives a quick overview of different available qualitative methods and highlights questions that must be dealt with when crafting the thesis.
