Abstract:
"The life of a critical researcher is often a lonely one. As Janet Wasko observed in A Different Road Taken, challenging dominant power structures is difficult, often leading to additional scrutiny from within one's academic department and/or field and generally resulting in few, if any, opportunities for funded research. This volume serves as a guidepost to those wishing to understand the difficulties facing critical researchers and how others have been able to navigate through the challenges. It will be particularly valuable for those interested in learning about the scholars who conducted research that did not conform to mainstream social science standards and challenged established views. In addition, the lives and work of these critical researchers offers a means for understanding ourselves as we try to make sense of the dynamic and complicated world in which we live"..
