About this book
Reviews
“There is a crisis of credibility in today’s world… the temptation to resort to orthodoxy and fundamentalism as a countermeasure is great. The social sciences in the global North may have unwittingly been a driving force, through an unrelenting penchant for deconstruction on the one hand, and absolute claims of truth on the other. Prof. McArdle skillfully exposes the cause of our current malaise as a lack of attention to values… our moral intention in fact determines the quality and worth of what we do. Her antidote is a rigorous and vigilant reflexive stance which frees us to call into question all scientific norms, holding them to the standard of how they can help us in any given context promote social justice and equality in the lives of those we research.” (Professor Michael T. Wright, Catholic University of Applied Science Berlin, Germany and the International Collaboration for Participatory Health Research)
