"...a great resource for thinking through ethics at every stage of the research design." The Evaluator

“This excellent book goes far beyond the basic tenet of “do no harm,” and its comprehensive and holistic approach to the very real ethical issues confronting scholars, especially those in qualitative research, provides a wonderful resource…Not only that, but the book is beautifully written and, despite the author’s clam that there are “not many laughs” to be found this reviewer has found herself repeatedly diving into her review copy just for the pleasure of it.” The Independent Scholar, Volume 5, Spring 2019
