Doing ‘judgemental rationality’ in empirical research : the importance of depth-reflexivity when researching in prison (2021)
Journal Article
Quraishi, M., Irfan, L., Schneuwly Purdie, M., & Wilkinson, M. (2022). Doing ‘judgemental rationality’ in empirical research : the importance of depth-reflexivity when researching in prison. Journal of Critical Realism, 21(1), 25-45. https://doi.org/10.1080/14767430.2021.1992735

Critical realist thought has theorised convincingly that ontological realism is constellationally embedded in epistemic relativism which in turn necessitates judgemental rationality. In social science, judgemental rationality involves acting upon pla...
