  In recent years, scholars and researchers have moved away from quantitative methods of research and toward qualitative methods, which emphasize questions of meaning and interpretation. Gubrium and Holstein offer a new theoretical view which reintegrates the traditional emphasis on the how and what of social life with a contemporary understanding of the why . The authors demonstrate how their approach may be put into practice in research on family, aging, deviance and social problems, and organizations and institutions.
