- Description
- The aim of our initial call for papers was to encourage the submission of exemplars of applied work, reflections on the use of critical realism, and metatheoretical developments. We were not disappointed, and we are therefore pleased to present this collection of five articles which advance our understanding of critical realism in practice. The book review in this issue further extends the collection, as it summarizes several examples of applied critical realist work. As one would expect of such a collection, there are a variety of disciplines represented, from business studies, to marketing, psychology, law and education. In this editorial, we provide an overview of the (concrete universal) trends of current applications of critical realism of which these articles are (concrete singular, and therefore unique) instantiations. Finally, we provide a brief introduction to each paper. We expect that the audience for this issue may be broader than, though still include, the usual readership of Journal of Critical Realism. Specifically, we expect to attract early career researchers who are new to critical realist ideas, and people whose primary interest is directed at one of the disciplines represented, rather than critical realism per se. For this reason, at the risk of repetition, we have allowed several of the authors to outline the aspects of critical realism that are relevant to their paper.
