Not exactly the perfect response to @TomPepinsky but @miriamboeri and Rashi k. Shuckla's edited volume, “Inside Ethnography: Researchers Reflect on the Challenges of Reaching Hidden Populations” buff.ly/3nYeUrm is as close as it gets: reflective essays by ethnographers
Most authors of chapters in the Boeri and Shuckla's edited volume are ethnographers of illicit activity. Their reflective chapters share their experiences with undertaking ethnographic fieldwork and writing about illicit activities in a respectful manner. I highly recommend it.
Personally, I found it extremely illuminating - how do ethnographers deal, cope, and work with illicit activities and the inherent risks that come along doing this fieldwork?
Dr. Sam Ladner, @sladner author of "Mixed Methods: A Short Guide to Applied Mixed Methods Research" is joining my Mixed Methods PhD seminar as the inaugural guest speaker. So grateful.
I assign her book in both my Masters and PhD courses.
Me parece inaudito que tenga que pasar lo de la Línea 12 para que se den cuenta de la urgencia de estudiar, entender y resolver el problema público de la ausencia de una política pública para apoyar a las personas en situación de calle en México.
No existe tal.
Llevo estudiando ya hace años el tema de homelessness policy (política de atención a personas en situación de calle) y mi frustración es lo poco que se sabe del tema en México. También me frustra que no existan políticas públicas para resolver este asunto público prioritario.
Porque no es nada más un asunto de política pública de vivienda, ni de política social. La realidad de las personas en situación de calle es compleja y su entrada, permanencia y salida de la misma son multifactoriales. No hay UNA causa, hay múltiples y poblaciones heterogéneas
La Dra. Blanca Jiménez Cisneros enfatizando en la importancia de que nuestras publicaciones como investigadores/as para tener incidencia en política pública.
La Dra. Judith Domínguez Serrano, profesora investigadora del @CEDUAcolmex presenta la primera parte del libro, sobre legislación del agua.
La perspectiva entera del libro es metropolitana.
La Dra. Flor García Becerra, profesora-investigadora de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (Cuajimalpa) presenta la sección sobre tratamiento de aguas residuales.
PRO TIP: It's almost the end of the month. Write up EVERYTHING you did this month.
You read someone else's paper and provided feedback? WRITE IT DOWN.
You peer-reviewed an article? WRITE IT DOWN.
You participated in a seminar? WRITE IT DOWN.
You'll be surprised by this.
Often times, we don't even realize how much we are contributing to scholarly life (to our discipline, our field, our colleagues and peers, our institution). Writing what you did over the course of the month reminds you of that (beyond surviving, which is a success in & of itself)
To be perfectly clear: surviving is a success in and of itself and keeping yourself, your family alive and together is also a success. This approach intends to make visible all the invisibilized work that accompanies the work-from-home approach.
THREAD: on making your claim of novelty and contribution to the literature VERY clear with an example from @profcovert
This will be of interest to book writers, article and book chapter writers and thesis writers.
Note how Pinley Covert makes her research question clear.
Pinley Covert establishes that this notion that San Miguel de Allende was on track to become an internationally-recognised tourist town that is prevalent in the mindset of a lot of people was (in her words) "not a foregone conclusion". She then clearly outlines research questions
Also note how Pinley Covert clearly lays out different alternative explanations (in a very well laid out "if X, then Y" format). Note how (in the third screenshot, pp. xx) she also firmly expresses the multiple explanations SHE OFFERS that counter traditional narratives.
This #HowToJPART webinar sounds like it's going to be incredible, what a lineup of powerhouses! :D
The seminar is recorded and will be made available on Twitter, share with the list-serv, and everyone who registered.
The webinar will cover new authors' experience w/JPART.
First off, @DrEEBeaton#HowToJPART shares her views on how she and her coauthors decided on submitting to JPART.
I am SO excited to hear about what a High-Risk R&R means at JPART (I've had one like that at another journal meaning - "your revision may or may not make it"
