The diary prioritizes events embedded in context and time, a perspective that serves to destabilize constants, revealing the complex intersectionality of experience. Over the last several\u003cbr\u003ecenturies, the mechanics of diary-keeping have evolved from simple records of ephemera into a primary research method. Today both archival and solicited diaries are used by social scientists who employ a range of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method data collection technologies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eResearchers may consider the very possibility of conducting a qualitative diary study with some hesitation--in addition to sounding like a good deal of work, the method seems somewhat \u003cem\u003eoff the beaten path\u003c\/em\u003e, a bit mysterious, and even kitschy. With a better understanding of what is involved, those who\u003cbr\u003eare considering the method may come to find that a diary study is well worth their while. In \u003cem\u003eDiary Methods\u003c\/em\u003e, Hyers provides her readers with a wealth of guidance and expert insight to ensure the success of their qualitative diary studies. The history of the diary from cultural phenomenon to social\u003cbr\u003escientific method are explored, followed by a discussion of the use of archival and solicited diaries in qualitative designs, diary data collection and management, qualitative analysis and coding, composition and diary report writing, evaluating diary research, and special ethical considerations\u003cbr\u003ewhen using diaries in research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauri L.
