ABSTRACT
Those who lived through the 1960s in North America and Western Europe tend to recall it as a time of rapid social change and political turmoil. Social science saw its own upheavals—the emergence of grounded theory, the first interventions of post-modernism, and new perspectives based on the view from the counter-culture, feminism, and ethnic and sexual minorities. This chapter sees the contemporary equivalents of such upheavals in the social science academy as the growth of “citizen research,” the globalization and emergent glocalization of methods, the debate over Indigenous research methods, and renewed struggles over what research is for.
