About the Book

Written from an interpretive and constructionist perspective, this insightful book explores how to conduct case study research focusing on the lived experience of those in the case. Helen Simons shines a spotlight on the use of art forms and story in case study research alongside other qualitative methods that advance intuitive understanding and inclusion. Underpinning this focus are epistemic justice and democratic ethics. In a lively, personal style, Simons distills expertise and practical wisdom gained over decades of conducting case study research of programs, policies, and institutions. Chapters consider how to design, conduct, and interpret case study research; write up cases for different audiences; assure validity and quality; and generalize from a single case. Helpful features include examples, summaries, practical tips, “Pauses to Reflect,” and annotated suggestions for further reading.

Review :
"This book is a great resource for learning how to use storytelling to inform disciplinary knowledge, practice knowledge, and policy creation across numerous disciplines. It provides a thoughtful and thorough presentation of culturally sensitive case study research. I love the discussions of silence, letting participants tell their story, Indigenous perspectives, and respondent validation."--Regina T. Praetorius, PhD, LMSW-AP, School of Social Work, The University of Texas at Arlington "This book brings interpretivist case study into the 21st century by embracing novel creative and arts-based methods, fostering intuition as a legitimate research activity, and honoring all voices within the community, in pursuit of epistemic justice."--Antonio J. Castro, PhD, College of Education and Human Development, University of Missouri–Columbia "Reflecting a belief in the value of thinking in cases, Simons offers a rich, practical guide on how to design, implement, and report studies of the particular. Simons draws on much of what has been written about case study research in the past several decades, while adding her unique take on the rationale for this approach and describing novel ways to justify case-based analyses and interpretations and present cases to different audiences."--Thomas A. Schwandt, PhD, Department of Educational Psychology (Emeritus), University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign-
