Reviews for Research Methods for Cultural Studies

This book serves a double purpose: it features very useful 'how to' advice and guidance but Pickering and his contributors also take many of the assumptions and practices of cultural studies to task. This book is primarily aimed at upper level undergraduate and graduate students, but it would be a valuable resource across all areas of teaching.
Geoff Lealand, ... Read moreUniversity of Waikato Media International Australia Research Methods for Cultural Studies is a brilliant book. It is inspiring, challenging, stroppy, provocative and well written. It has punch and passion ... This is the best book that has been written on cultural studies methods.
Tara Babazon, University of Brighton Times Higher Education Providing readers with a clear, concise overview of the qualitative and quantitative approaches to research methods in cultural studies, This book will be useful for undergraduate students of all aspects of cultural study from anthropology to media studies. Bookseller Michael Pickering has assembled a fine and fascinating collection of articles from various scholars working in cultural studies. That the book consists of ten chapters plus an introduction and index makes it an ideal starter text for those beginning research! Of particular assistance to the course leader who may well select this book as a text for an undergraduate or graduate course is the Summary Key Points section which concludes each chapter.
