“There are many important books on oral history. My book was the launch title in the Understanding Qualitative Research series with Oxford University Press. I think what makes my book and all of the series books unique is the emphasis on writing instruction for researchers who want to use the method being described.” ThinkingWantWritingImportantBookUseUnderstandingUniqueResearchMethodPressesSeriesUniversityTitlesInstructionEmphasisResearchersOxfordQualitativeOral HistoryOxford University Author:Patricia Leavy
“I was invited. Oxford University Press is simply as prestigious a press as there is so when they come to your door and invite you to be a part of something like this, you say yes. It truly is an honor to work with them, particularly on a project as large as this one. The story of how they came to me is a good lesson though about the unexpected and creating new opportunities.” StoriesOpportunityDoorsHonorLessonsProjectsCreatingPressesUniversityUnexpectedInvitesInvitedOxfordNew OpportunityPrestigiousOxford University Author:Patricia Leavy
“I had published a co-edited book with Oxford a decade ago, my first book actually. Years later I found myself having lunch with Lori Stone, who was an editor at Oxford at that time. We connected at a conference and over the course of lunch she told me about a wonderful new series she had just developed called Understanding Research.” YearsFirstsBookCoursesFoundUnderstandingWonderfulResearchStonesSeriesConnectedDecadesEditorsLunchConferencesOxfordEdited Author:Patricia Leavy
