The Hegemony of the Narrative: Reflections on the Contours of Social Science Research.
Cizek, Gregory J.
Review of Higher Education, v19 n2 p227-36 Win 1996
A discussion of the increased use of qualitative methods in social science research looks at four emerging issues: the nature of research, the growth in status of the narrative in research, political influences on the research process, and the nature of the relationship between the philosophy of science and applied research practice. Some approaches to the problems are discussed. (MSE)
