Synopsis "Accountability in Social Research: Issues and Debates"
the book considers issues relating to accountability in social research by juxtaposing seven ways of approaching the issues and by moving toward the development of a particular approach to the earning of trust on the part of researchers. a conception of the practice and assessment of discursive accountability is presented as an option for consideration. the book grapples with the issue of accountability in social research by considering the extent to which and ways in which it is addressed in a number of different positions regarding the practice of social science. the focus of the book is on reviewing discourses around the practice of `professional inquiry, with a view to highlighting differing arguments around the question of what it might mean to assess researchers accountabilities. the book is structured around considering in detail various views on accountability in relation to one another. a comprehensive comparison of arguments is presented in the first two chapters of the book. the debate that is set up in the first two chapters forms the background to the elaboration and development (in chapter 3) of constructivist argumentation in relation to the question of how accounts as set forth by researchers should be treated (by colleagues, participants, and other audiences). the continuing debate about the status to be afforded to constructions developed by researchers is tackled in this chapter. constructivist thinking is then extended toward what is named in the book a `trusting constructivist position. this position focuses on ways in which trust earning and trust awarding in the context of social inquiry can proceed without researchers having to justify themselves as striving to gain access to knowledge as representation of reality. through the development of the trusting constructivist position, the book explores ways of creating trust through processes of social discourse. an assessment of actual research projects in view of the debates set up in earlier chapters then takes place. through these assessments readers can relate the details of the arguments developed in earlier chapters to their implications for judging the practice of (accountable) social inquiry.
