Abstract
As evidenced by the first two chapters, thus far this volume has attempted to develop an understanding of the evolution of qualitative research. In retrospect, we have identified and described five contexts in qualitative research – the autobiographical, the historical, the political, the postmodern, and the philosophical contexts that we hope will assist beginning and practicing researchers in engaging with their research initiatives.
