A layered account is a form of qualitative social research in which the researcher writes from more than one voice and is informed by several layers of consciousness. First proposed by Carol Rambo Ronai, a layered account intentionally blurs the boundaries between social research and art.
Famous quotes containing the words layered and/or account:
“The oaks, how subtle and marine!
Bearded, and all the layered light
Above them swims; and thus the scene,
Recessed, awaits the positive night.”
—Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
“You should try to understand every thing you see and hear; to act and judge for yourselves; to remember you each have a soul of your own to account for; M a mind of your own to improve. When you once get these ideas fixed, and learn to act upon them, no man or set of men, no laws, customs, or combinations of them can seriously oppress you.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
