Conducting sensitive research in the social sciences requires meticulous attention to ethical considerations, methodological rigour, and emotional intelligence. In this comprehensive Handbook, Pranee Liamputtong brings together a diverse array of expert contributing authors to reflect on best practice and to discuss the growing attention to this type of research in the social sciences.

Chapters cover the conceptual dimensions of conducting sensitive research and present ethical considerations and various qualitative, as well as more creative methodologies, pertinent to this type of study. Leading authors provide firsthand accounts and experiences of conducting sensitive research with vulnerable, marginalised, or hard-to-reach individuals or groups, such as LGBTQ+ and older populations, outlining personal narratives that provide illuminating insights. This Handbook demonstrates that conducting sensitive research is crucial for deepening our comprehension of intricate human experiences and the elements that shape them, especially in domains frequently obscured by silence or stigma.

The Handbook of Sensitive Research in the Social Sciences is an essential read for researchers across the social sciences whose work incorporates emotive topics, providing readers with the most suitable and considered methodologies to employ when working with vulnerable people.
