Abstract
The book review considers two handbooks “How to collect data in qualitative field research” and “Practices of qualitative data analysis in social sciences” published by the National Research University Higher School of Economics in 2020 and 2023, respectively. The handbooks compensate for the acute shortage of Russian educational texts on qualitative data collection and analysis in sociology. They can be effectively used in teaching research disciplines and in research practice. Both handbooks have all the characteristics of a contemporary educational texts. Their authors have relevant practical experience in the issues under discussion and provide particular examples and practical recommendations. Both texts are well structured. Both include many educational and methodological elements (not only literature and test questions, but summaries, keywords, practical tasks, links to extensive online resources). The discussed issues are presented at the level of contemporary approaches adopted both in domestic and foreign theory and practice; and this is reflected in citations, references and the considered cases.
Keywords:
