Abstract

[Extract] The process of writing your research proposal is an opportunity to clarify and solidify aspirational thinking into a realistic plan of action. Usually we approach a potential qualitative research study with only a loose idea of what we would like to investigate. For those considering a graduate research program, there is often lots of rather romantic talk among your peers, and sometimes your lecturers and supervisors, about the importance of having a 'passion' for your topic that will sustain you through the three plus years that you will engage in this work. We take a much more pragmatic, project management approach to the conceptualization and execution of a qualitative research study that will become apparent as you read through this chapter.
