One of the key qualities of this publication is its honesty and transparency: it enables a critical look behind the scenes of academic enquiry, which is so often shielded from view in finished and published projects ... An informative and encouraging read not only for students, but for anyone interested in engaging with practical matters in the research process.

International Journal of Research and Method in Education

This is a highly engaging book, a rich source of case studies in ethnography but with a particular focus on language and social justice, giving voice to researchers in a range of contexts around the world. It is an excellent resource for anyone interested in ethnography and particularly useful for doctoral students.

Gee Macrory, Centre Leader for Languages and English and Principal Lecturer, Faculty of Education, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

This collection of reflective case studies of multilingual research in action provides readers with valuable insights and hands-on guidance in developing research projects from the bottom up.

Importantly it discusses key research in the context of research studies which benefit from the standpoint of doctoral students and early career researchers. It will be invaluable for student teachers and help to bring the credibility to ethnographic work.

Alan Benson, Senior Lecturer, London Metropolitan University, UK

Researching Education for Social Justice in Multilingual Settings provides innovative guidance on carrying out qualitative research in education by offering a wide range of examples of research projects with a focus on the methodologies and data collection strategies used. Rather than decontextualised ‘how-to’ advice, the book offers insights into the complexities of actually carrying out research in multilingual settings.In this practical guide, examples of real-life projects are framed by chapters providing a theoretical background to the principles of ethnography and to the processes and practices of qualitative research, focusing on data generation and collection strategies. Case study chapters offer a rich understanding of the detail of qualitative research in education from the points of view of people who have engaged in it. Moreover, the book promotes understanding of current research that aims to make a difference to pupils, students, teachers and families whose diverse languages and cultural experiences are not fully valued in society and in mainstream education contexts. Pedagogical features that support private study and use on courses include a glossary of key terms, guiding questions for reading at the start of each section, and discussion questions to promote reflection as well as suggestions for further reading.Researching Education for Social Justice in Multilingual Settings is a supportive guide to the principles of ethnography and the processes of qualitative research for all those wishing to investigate complex problems in multilingual education settings.
