Summary: Laura Ellingson's "Making Data in Qualitative Research" revolutionizes traditional data collection by introducing a dynamic "data engagement" model. This approach emphasizes the researcher's active role in co-creating data, prompting crucial ethical, methodological, and theoretical reflections. Drawing on feminist, poststructuralist, and new materialist theories, the book refigures data collection, arguing that data is actively made, assembled, and dynamic, not passively found. Ellingson and Sotirin champion an ethical foundation of pragmatism, compassion, and joy, applicable across diverse research methods. The book explores innovative ways to engage with various data sources, from fieldnotes and recordings to digital data and the researcher's self, encouraging a shift from passive collection to active engagement. "Making Data in Qualitative Research" is an invaluable resource for students and researchers seeking a more nuanced, ethical, and dynamic understanding of qualitative research, fostering a deeper appreciation for the research process.
