Ray Pawson is emeritus Professor of Social Research Methodology in the School of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Leeds.[1][2][3] His main interest lies in research methodology.[4] He has written widely on the philosophy and practice of research, covering methods qualitative and quantitative, pure and applied, contemporaneous and historical. There is a common 'realist' thread underlying every word, albeit a modest, middle-range, empirically rich mode of realism.
