N2  - "Mindful Qualitative Research by Laura L. Lemon explores the ways in mindfulness can enhance the role of the researcher in qualitive inquiry. Building on the traditions of exercising reflexivity, cultivating awareness, and identifying bias, Mindful Qualitative Research focuses on how researchers can develop the self, a primary tool for both data collection and analysis, in the research process. This book presents a learning by doing pedagogy, with exercises throughout to help readers cultivate a mindfulness practice over the course of the text. Writing mindful memos will prompt readers to expand on the text to find other ways to incorporate mindfulness into their research practices. Individual chapters focus on different data collection methods, starting with interviews, the foundation of qualitative research, and continuing with mindfulness practices in focus groups, participant observation, notes and documentation, data analysis, and writing. A perfect companion to a broader qualitative textbook, this brief guide offers an interdisciplinary entry into mindful practices in research"--
