“The [qualitative] study is limited by its small sample size (n=18) … This restricts the generalizability of findings.”

(1) If you’re asked to review qualitative research and have this take: don’t.

He called Professor Coates, one of the most celebrated & accomplished thinkers of our time, an "extremist," because his book dares to center Palestinian humanity. A masterclass reply from Coates.
