Ethnography Education Research Rural Education Research Methodology Qualitative Research Academic Textbook
Doing Educational Research in Rural Settings (2014, Taylor & Francis) is the go-to paperback for scholars who want to move beyond cookie-cutter urban frameworks and design studies that actually fit the rhythms, cultures, and realities of rural classrooms. In 216 tightly written pages, Corbett and White give step-by-step guidance on everything from negotiating entry into tight-knit communities to selecting methods that respect place-based knowledge. The book’s rural-specific ethics checklist, sample interview protocols, and real-world case studies make it immediately usable for thesis, dissertation, or grant work.
What sets this copy apart is its ready-to-use condition: a smooth, uncreased spine and crisp, clean pages—no highlighting or dog-eared corners to distract you. A previous scholar has lightly underlined and penciled margin notes on just six pages, giving you instant, erasable insights without permanent marks. At 340 g and a student-friendly 234 × 156 mm format, it slips easily into a backpack or field bag for on-site note-taking.
Because rural education research is surging—fueled by policy interest in equity, teacher retention, and community-based learning—this first-edition paperback is increasingly hard to find in nice shape. Securing a gently annotated copy now means you’ll have the foundational text that reviewers and committees expect to see cited, while saving you the library wait or steep e-text rental fees.
