Interpretation in Qualitative Research: Key Concepts in Qualitative Research is an edited collection that makes a methodological contribution to the conceptual connections around/with/for/to interpretation and it offers contemporary concept provocations to the  literature on interpretation.

Written for advanced undergraduate and early postgraduate students, as well as researchers seeking an entry point into a new area of study, it provides an introductory understanding of the key concept interpretation in qualitative and postqualitative research across disciplines while working both with and against diverse interpretative traditions. This book touches upon different roles, functions, and reconfigurations of interpretation in (post)qualitative research and in different transdisciplinary, theoretical, and geopolitical contexts. Short, creatively crafted entries connect interpretation to its historical, discursive, and methodological roots while revisioning and reconfiguring what futures and becomings of interpretation might be like.

Interpretation in Qualitative Research can be used as a main text for introduction to qualitative research courses, advanced courses focusing on interpretation or interpretive sciences. It could also be used as a supplementary textbook for qualitative methods courses including data collection and research design courses.
