Yoland Wadsworth’s Do It Yourself Social Research is one of the most remarkable products of Australian social science. Practical in its content, sophisticated in its ideas, the book shows a passion for making social science a tool of democracy. I know nothing else that is half as good.
—RW Connell, Professor of Education, University of Sydney

…incredibly useful…
—Elizabeth Reid, United Nations Development Programme, New York

No jargon, no mystification… not patronising. Experienced and new social researchers alike will certainly feel more secure and must do better research as a result of this publication.
—Australian Journal of Social Issues

It raised my view of research from ‘something I have to do’ to ‘something I want to do’.
—First year university student
