Description

This indispensable guide for students in any area of the social sciences - including sociology, anthropology, political science, women's and gender studies, Indigenous studies, and history - offers clear, current information on all aspects of the research process, from research methods and design to presenting findings with clarity and force. No other research and writing guide speaks directly to the needs of students in social science courses. Making Sense in the Social Sciences will increase the skills and confidence of students new to academic writing and improve the quality of the essays they turn in.
