Can the Mothers of Invention Make Virtue Out of Necessity? An Optimistic Deconstruction of Research Compromises in Contract Research and Evaluation.
Stronach, Ian; Allan, Julie; Morris, Brian
British Educational Research Journal, v22 n4 p493-509 Sep 1996
Offers a retrospective deconstruction of research compromises undertaken during "quick and dirty" contract evaluation. Identifies constraining changes in the nature of research contexts and develops a positive view of methodological developments, that might create "transgressive validity." Considers notions of "hybridity" in research methodology and of "negotiation" in research procedures. (DSK)
