         Subject: FQS 6(3) The State of the Art
of Qualitative Research in Europe

Dear All,

We would like to inform you that the 19th issue of the open-access
journal "Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung / Forum: Qualitative Social
Research" (FQS), edited by Hubert Knoblauch, Uwe Flick & Christoph
Maeder in cooperation with Iain Lang, is available online.

FQS 6(3) deals with "The State of the Art of Qualitative Research in
Europe"
(http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt3-05-e.htm). The
contributions provide unique insights into the variety and richness of
qualitative social research in Europe (without limiting the issue to a
solely European perspective). As always, in addition to articles
relating to "Qualitative Research in Europe," FQS 6(3) also provides
selected single contributions and articles that belong to the FQS Debate
on Qualitative Research and Ethics, to FQS Reviews, and to FQS
Conferences.

Enjoy reading!
