UW-Madison's Lesley Bartlett and alumna Frances Vavrus are co-authors of a recently released book that examines a new and innovative way to conduct research of policy and practice across multiple social fields.
The publication is titled, "Rethinking Case Study Research: A Comparative Approach." It includes examples and activities from anthropology, development studies, and policy studies, and is written for researchers -- especially graduate students -- in the fields of education and the interpretive social sciences.
Bartlett is a professor with the School of Education's Department of Educational Policy Studies. Vavrus earned her Ph.D. from the School of Education's No. 1-ranked Department of Curriculum and Instruction and is now a professor in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota.
