Mi charla sobre principios básicos de etnografía y observación participante. Gracias @flaviafrei y @KarolinaGilas por invitarme al Taller de Análisis de Datos del Observatorio de Reformas Políticas en América Latina.

El año pasado, me invitó @medinagual a la Ibero Santa Fé a hablar sobre "Retos de la investigación social en contextos pandémicos". Aquí está el video de mi charla.

Y si se encuentran en situación de tesis (como mis estudiantes de la @FlacsoMx y mis propios tesistas), ésta charla que me invitó a dar @guadarramacc sobre "cómo pasar del tema de investigación a la pregunta de investigación?" les será de utilidad.

Tengo una página de Facebook, por si gustan darle "Me Gusta" facebook.com/drpachecovega

Y finalmente, un hilo sobre "cómo escribir la tesis y no morir en el intento"

Friends, it's almost 8 in the morning on Wednesday June 30th and it is my duty to remind you that today is a good day to do your planning for July and August.

This short thread will point you to blog posts of mine that might be useful as you engage in this planning process.
1) While I wrote this blog post to help scholars plan their summers, you can use it to plan one month at a time if you so choose.
raulpacheco.org/2019/04/planni…

2) This post on setting realistic goals should also be helpful raulpacheco.org/2019/09/settin…
3) The TEH Framework (Time, Energy, Health) might help you consider whether you need to change or adjust your plans for July and August raulpacheco.org/2021/06/time-e…

4) Don't forget to write down everything that you achieved! raulpacheco.org/2021/05/writin…

Yes, surviving a pandemic counts.

Le había prometido a @CaesarRRZ y a @camilofidel_ que iba a escribir un hilo sobre cómo generar un Esqueleto ("Outline") de un documento científico, ya sea ponencia, artículo, capítulo de libro, o capítulo de la tesis. Ya había escrito uno el año pasado y lo encontré! 😄
Ahora voy a poner en acción mis estrategias para crear un Esqueleto de un documento en español, un capítulo de libro con el que me comprometí a participar en un libro editado por los profes @odmeza y @moyadiaz1980 Me permite también mostrar el asunto del Diseño de Investigación
Lo primero que hago es presentar lo que sabemos (“el estado del arte sobre la cuestión”, “la revisión de la literatura”)

Noten que incluso en mis notas de borrador incluyo autores relevantes a citar.

El capítulo es un análisis comparativo de suministro privado y público. Image

I have this dream of doing a Worldwide Reading Group on "Writing Ethnographies", where we read and discuss:

- Van Maanen's "Tales of the Field"
- Ghodsee's "From Notes to Narrative"
- McGranahan's edited volume "Writing Anthropology"
- Narayan's "Alive in the Writing"
Obviously then you get into "HEY YOU DIDN'T COVER HOW TO WRITE FIELD NOTES".

Well, yes. Ok fine. Let's take Van Maanen as one of the books on "how to write field notes". If we exchange, then we have to add:

- Goodall's "Writing the New Ethnography"

And now on fieldnotes.
- Emerson, Fretz & Shaw - "Writing Field Notes"
- Sanjek's edited volume, "Fieldnotes"
- Vivanco's "Field Notes"

And OBVIOUSLY Pacheco-Vega 2019 😅😆😂🤣

But then if I talk about writing ethnographies and field notes, also have to talk about analysis?

Designing my “Qualitative Data Analysis and Interpretation” course for Fall 2021. While my draft notes are perfectly readable, I like making sense of my ideas by transcribing my scribbles and using different colour fineliners. Image
As I switch categories (from “Analysis” to “Interpretation”) I also switch colours. This change helps me maintain conceptual clarity and differentiate between different stages of the qualitative research process. Image
Note how for the third category (“Reporting”) I switched again colours. Image

Everyone, recommend Dr. Hughes some ethnography books. I have a few recommendations.

@anapggarza "Care for Sale" OUP

@HugoCA15 "Privilege at Play" OUP

@MaxLiboiron "Pollution is Colonialism" (not specifically ethnography but AMAZING book)

(thread continued)
.@sladner "Practical Ethnography"

@matorrew "Natural Resources, Extraction and Indigenous Rights in Latin America: Exploring the Boundaries of Environmental and State-Corporate Crime in Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico"

@miriamboeri & Rashi Shukla's edited volume "Inside Ethnography"
I also recommend Davis and Craven's feminist ethnography

Also, $200 USD is not going to get you anywhere at Routledge or SAGE.

I confess that I sometimes feel envious when I read someone on Twitter (or hear it in in my writing groups) saying "I'm going to start reading for a new project".

I have concurrent projects, most of the time, so THAT feeling of "ok, I'm going to sit down and START READING",
... is super foreign to me.

The only time when I "sit down and start reading" is when I'm preparing a new course syllabus.

Obviously, this "sit down and start reading" will need to happen for the Fieldwork edited volume that @Pran_eeta and I are working on.

BUT, generally,
... generally speaking, I'm reading All The Time.

I don't feel like I've had an opportunity (as I did when I did my doctorate) to just "sit down and start a new project". I have always felt like I finish something and WHAM BAM off we go to the next one, ASAP.

Though....
