The editors and contributors offer candid approaches to the subject, which supply readers with diverse strategies on how to do reflexivity in practice.

Pre-Publication Review Comments

I have enjoyed the reflexive journey very much, learned a lot and been excited to learn more. What else can one say of a well written and thought provoking book? . . . This is a book that is well overdue. I think it will attract a lot of interest ? especially from those intrigued by methodology. I look forward to introducing my students to this text and I wish the editors every success.
