$71.95

The book considers issues relating to accountability in socialresearch by juxtaposing seven ways of approaching the issues and bymoving toward the development of a particular approach to the earningof trust on the part of researchers. A conception of the practice andassessment of discursive accountability is presented as an option forconsideration.The book grapples with the issue of accountability in social researchby considering the extent to which and ways in which it is addressedin a number of different positions regarding the practice of socialscience. The focus of the book is on reviewing discourses around thepractice of professional' inquiry, with a view to highlightingdiffering arguments around the question of what it might mean toassess researchers' accountabilities. The book is structured aroundconsidering in detail various views on accountability in relation toone another. A comprehensive comparison of arguments is presented inthe first two chapters of the book. The debate that is set up in thefirst two chapters forms the background to the elaboration anddevelopment (in Chapter 3) of constructivist argumentation in relationto the question of how accounts as set forth by researchers should betreated (by colleagues, participants, and other audiences). Thecontinuing debate about the status to be afforded to constructionsdeveloped by researchers is tackled in this chapter. Constructivistthinking is then extended toward what is named in the book a trustingconstructivist' position. This position focuses on ways in which trustearning and trust awarding in the context of social inquiry canproceed without researchers having to justify themselves as strivingto gain access to knowledgeas representation of reality. Through thedevelopment of the trusting constructivist position, the book exploresways of creating trust through processes of social discourse. Anassessment of actual research projects in view of the debates set upin earlier chapters then takes place.
