Miscellaneous Notes that are clogging up my computer/google drive

use google scholar and use library websites to try and find social science things that are looking at the issue recent stuff in media and policy but lag in academic realm sign up for phd and then leaving?? tactical option to get masters? peer reviewed literature to fill gaps and fleshing out feminist perspective part as you develop social theoretical questions reframe question what counts as an epidemic, how does gender affect what counts and doesn't count, how is knowledge being produced, what kind of expertise is at play in policy documents, etc. how does gender, race and class intersect what are the discourses apply discourse analysis to particular topic paper by kim about post structuralism a bit of high theory but loving something and wanting to improve it being reflexive and wanting to critique it from that way how to gather data for project but also find out more about organization and what kind of work

data, network and knowledge combine first and second theses

pushing against and working with stereotypes of sororities

combine theoretical and academic elements of second to further alannack@gmail.com

email brandons sister public health working with aids and gay mens health

grant from the gov't to go to nursing school conceptual framework to go in depth to different arenas of feminism kims book chapter on women in bopal

thirty references categorized into literature and then annotations about what the gist is

liturature is what conversations are you joining

try focus mostly on peer reviewed articles and journals or books with academic presses but all thirty don't have to be that ten could be data sources/interviews

ten could be peer reviewed articles

ten could be anything/websites/etc feminist perspectives on sexual assault

greek life/feminist perspectives on greek life

age range as it relates to sexual assault

sociological perspective on young adults or sororities zoom in closely and then if you can't find anything step back but only as much as you need to use this as for exploration

difference between theoretical questions and research questions

more broad with theoretical

make academic research useful for me

finding conversations that can actually help me add a fourth aim that draws on the social theoretical questions e.g. contribute to how gender effects college etc how does feminist thought affect culture moving more specific

how does feminist thought affect the culture of __

more likely to meet that ^^^ aim if it's more specific this semester go slowly enough that i'm taking time to get bibliography and working in a productive space instead of barrelling into the data collection and going right into policy recommendations drafting your best guess at this point at the end of the semester you'll have intro, body chapters and conclusion

then in the spring is adding more body chapters ;more case studies more sides of a debate different stakeholders, learning more open to surprises and changes to intro and policy suggestions breadth and depth

focusing on community and interviewee

depth and differences gained through interviews, different opinions as mapping all stakeholders email exchanges with each group of stakeholders and groups that matter to achieve breadth and greater understanding of whole field start early enough with conversations or emails to split between groups IRB for whole class taking online IRB training and then take a test to get IRB certified, ethical crossing is and dotting ts different emails for deans and students new interview questions lead to new research questions which may revisit social theory questions

jumping between different scales of the project

sigma chi crossroads on november first

hegemonic backdrop hegemony: what is the dominant story in your story

what is the discourse that is the most powerful

backdrop: the background to what object you're writing about, what assumptions exist? shifts in sign systems

how has some component of your story shifted over time?

using the same words how do they change meaning? core categories

concepts or terms put in the center of project

actions of stakeholders pulling out of the world are stories -> hegemony are things in the world, stories are pieces of the world and describing that part of the world

that description part is the story multiple stories connect to another

looking for the pieces of the story

looking for the elements of the world that are explanatory stories are petri dish, by removing all the other stuff hypothesis is a kind of story

pulling phrases, words, ideas to tell a better story most of us do a lot of things and say a lot of things without thinking about the social science aspects of it core concepts change as your thesis evolves methods vs methodology method is a tool for providing some answer

> interview is a method (look at how many times they use a word, movements and body etc) what, why and how not just the method is the methodology method could be the same but methodology is different part of what you need to learn how to articulate for yourselves is methods are tools to answer

interview: dozen or two dozen questions

let interviews take a turn and go where it wants to go

lists of potential concepts and stories to tell

interviews because rare importatn to get qualitative story approach and because it hasn't been done

qhen you come up with the core concepts nad use them a big part of what they do is become sorting mechanisms is a seive

adding another word or two more key concepts lets me decide what stuff to let in e.g. theoretical words, voluntary, consent, feminism, policing vs. institution, is it a police matter or a mattre of college institution vs organization thinking about what sort of work you want to do

organization or institution what kinds of organizations or what kinds of institutions local or national vs college vs vp office all of forms of organization when a word comes up in conversation is one way of guiding yourself don't discount obvious stuff maybe saying it's policy seems not theoretical enough but every word you add intersection of all these words is a great way to help focus survey at event

how people react

methods provides with different piece of data

observation tells you what they will not say

viewing culture that is invisible to the participants use information gotten by observing event to inform questions don't want to make someone antagonistic or doing leading questions use open questions not leading questions survey is mechanical and has different kind of effect

because questions have to be built differently survey about getting breadth rather than depth

interviews written to answer research questions goal of structuring questions is to get them to narrate, asking them to be the books
 * set up appointment with alex blais******************************

1 week from today everything due next wednesday

describe x aspect of project empirical in data looking at particular person to make a point four sections

method,

build your explanation for yourself of what youre researching on and with

google scholar and google books

library add in to get access

newest of articles and look at bibliography work back to older bibliographies

see whats cited in multiple ones

which ones see titles that are particularly useful

and build citations based on ones you find first update list of key words and run through search process

go directly to searching on jstor and other databases
