Human Geography
Hey guys!
Currently we are all on a break for Christmas. Over the break, we were told to read a book that our lovely teacher, Ms. Andrea, gave us for our standard level Geography class. It's called "Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography". It's an interesting book, although very much to read - so much. To clarify, we really don't have to read to whole book. "Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography" is the third edition by Iain Hay. This book gives in-depth guidance on how to conduct qualitative research in human geography. As read on the back of the book, it gives the most "up-to-date information from some of the most authoritative voices in the discipline, this thoroughly revised new edition is a practical guide to planning, interpreting, and effectively communicating qualitative research in human geography. Covering an extensive range of established and leading-edge methods, this is an ideal introduction to qualitative research methods for students of human geography."

To answer any odd questions, Iain Hay is a Professor of Human Geography and ALTC Discipline Scholar for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, School of the Environment, Flinders University, Australia. Yes, this book is certainly long. To clarify again, the purpose of us reading this long book, is to learn as to how we need to conduct our field work over the summer and what we need to possibly do for it to be "good". Over the summer, before we become Seniors, we must conduct field work pertaining to what we've learned in the class. We get to choose from a variety of topics because, by that time, we would have gone over many things. For example, a topic pertaining to world inequality. This could include research as to how urban and non-urban schools and kids 'are'. Of course, there is more to add on to that, but I don't want to give anyone any ideas. Although, being that we're a class of five girls, we plan to possibly conduct out summer field work together - just to make it more simple. Think of our summer field work as a Biology lab report, just more extensive; we conduct an experiment and make a lab report at the end for the instructor to grade. Well that's our break: reading a book.
