• Sommario/riassunto: This e-book draws together contributions from leading scholars in the US, Australia and Europe to consider the tricky question of validity in the conduct of action research. In particular, the contributors offer views on the relative standing of action research in their own national communities. Individually the papers are thought provoking and interesting. Collectively they point to clear international differences in the way(s) in which action research is perceived by peers, funders, publishers and students.
