Abstract

The massive expansion of the internet into every aspect of our lives creates a challenge for social researchers: can they simply transfer their traditional methods and techniques online or do they need to reinvent research methods for the new environment? As online research becomes increasingly prevalent it becomes more important for researchers to have an answer to these questions and an approach to conducting research online. This book is a straightforward, accessible introduction to social research online. It covers the key issues and concerns for social scientists: online surveys, focus gr

Abstract

Comme les précédents, ce volume de Lire les sciences sociales présente une sélection raisonnée de recherches récentes. On y trouvera abordés des sujets très divers : ignorant les barrières entre les disciplines, écoles et domaines d'investigation, indifférents aux hiérarchies académiques et mondaines, nous avons présenté « des grands objets » et « des petits terrains », des historiens, des sociologues, des ethnologues et des philosophes, des auteurs consacrés, des « classiques » et des travaux de jeunes chercheurs. C'est ainsi que Lire les sciences sociales a pu devenir en une quinzaine d'années une institution critique, interne au champ des sciences sociales, indépendance par rapport aux autorités de toutes sortes, privilégiant l'originalité du point de vue, la nouveauté de la démarche ou l'invention d'objets inédits.

Abstract

Systematic, practical, and accessible, this is the first book to focus on finding the most defensible design for a particular research question. Thoughtful guidelines are provided for weighing the advantages and disadvantages of various methods, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods designs. The book can be read sequentially or readers can dip into chapters on specific stages of research (basic design choices, selecting and sampling participants, addressing ethical issues) or data collection methods (surveys, interviews, experiments, observations, archival studies, and co

Abstract

Field research, the collection of information outside of a lab or workplace setting, requires skills and knowledge that are not typically taught in the classroom. Fieldwork demands exploratory inquisitiveness, empathy to encourage interview subjects to trust the researcher, and sufficient aptitude to work professionally and return home safely. The Field Researcher's Handbook provides a practical guide to planning and executing fieldwork and presenting the results. David Danelo has written this book based on his experience conducting field research in over fifty countries as well as from teaching others a holistic approach to field research. His knowledge of how to be observant and operate safely in any environment was further enhanced by his time as a combat veteran in the US Marine Corps. This book introduces the skills that new researchers will need in the field, including anthropology, travel logistics planning, body language recognition, interview preparation, storytelling, network development, and situational awareness. Danelo also discusses ethical considerations and how to recognize personal biases. This handbook intended for researchers in a variety of academic disciplines but also government, think-tank, and private-sector researchers.
