Doing Research within Communities

"Sociolinguistics recognizes the effects of an outside observer: these scholars, outsiders but increasingly involved with the communities they have studied and tried to help, provide a clear picture of the problems and solutions that they have met. It can be highly recommended to new and experienced researchers; I know I would have benefited in my own interactions with Navajo, Maori and Samoan groups."

"This is an inspiring and timely book that will contribute to the growing movement of researchers involved in research with communities. The collection offers an insightful and essential read to both researchers and practitioners interested in the co-production of research and knowledge with communities."

"This collection is presented in clear and accessible language and can function as a useful tool to stimulate discussion and inform future researchers about the types of challenges and experiences they will encounter in the field."
