This book offers practices of mindfulness and meditation as an entry point to qualitative research. It offers exercises and activities to practice mindfulness throughout the research process, from considering your subjectivity to data generation strategies like focus groups or interviews.
This is a practical guide to teaching qualitative research and building research competencies, a book that brings research to life, and a must-have book for students before going out to the field.
The book is a unique one as it introduces a bold move in teaching qualitative research methods. It is certainly a great addition to the course material.
I choose to adopt The Mindful Qualitative Researcher for the this semester Music Education Research MA seminar. I concentrated on the chapter 8 Slowing down to begin writing to support my student on the topics of the busy mind, flow and how to strengthen implications. The whole book is important, but in my opinion especially this chapter supports the busy MA students best. I have ordered the book to my university library to enable this semester and future students to access the whole book.
