ABSTRACT

Qualitative inquiry can be found in the work of Charles Darwin, for example, in his investigations of morality and human emotions. The authors used feminist standpoint methodology to challenge Western ways of knowing by shifting the experiences of young girls from the margins to the fore. This section sees the use of popular qualitative techniques such as focus groups, in-depth interviews, and narrative enquiry. Kumar unearths narratives of structural and intimate partner violence rooted in the ongoing process of colonialism. These findings have important implications for social interventions aimed at addressing IPV. The authors also see the application of phenomenologically driven interviews, as well as broader qualitative methodological frameworks, such as critical discourse and narrative analysis, the case study, and constructivist grounded theory. Consequently, he advanced the 'duty of life' as the theory to explain CSR, which he generated from the data.
