FQS-Newsletter May 2003

Dear All,

I would like to inform you that FQS 4(2)—Subjectivity and Reflexivity in Qualitative Research II—is available at http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-d/inhalt2-03-e.htm (see http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-d/inhalt3-02-e.htm for Part I). Authors from various disciplines and nations joined this adventure and gave insights from their practices and knowledge, and we hope that the most extensive collection on subjectivity and reflexivity in qualitative research thus far will promote further understanding and initiate discussions!

In the current issue, in addition to articles, linked directly to the topic, you will also find selected single contributions and review essays and notes, additionally contributions, belonging to the FQS debates on "Quality of Qualitative Research" & on "Doing Successful Research in the Social Sciences—Ethnography of the Career Politics of an Occupational Group;" finally some articles, which had been published in former special issues & now available in additional languages. All contributions are listed below.

Enjoy reading, and as always, any suggestions and feedback are warmly welcome!
