Chenail, Ronald J. – Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, 2010
The question of generalizability or the usefulness of qualitative research results beyond the confines of the primary site, sample, and study has been hotly debated by qualitative researchers for decades.

Such labels might be helpful in structuring our understanding of phenomena. But they…
