I have 261 words on a Sunday morning at 8:00am, not yet caffeinated, and I don't even know how that happened.

(I'm lying - I DO know how that happened:

a) I went to sleep thinking deeply about this issue (ethics of fieldwork)
2) I have MANY questions (Prompting Questions) Image
3) Because I write to help ME understand things and make sense of what I'm thinking, I use Prompting Questions and Topic Sentences to draft a paragraph. NOTE: I don't yet know if what I wrote makes sense, BUT it's on its way. See my post on paragraphs:

raulpacheco.org/2018/10/writin…
So do I get to cite my dear friend, award winning book author @BeckyGMartinez in my memorandum on the ethics of fieldwork in #HospitalEthnography? Why yes I do. Image
Note I realized I needed a “bridging paragraph” between “ethics of fieldwork in care facilities” and “psychiatric wards”

The great thing about free-writing and just dumping thoughts on the page is that it helps me produce text that I am revise later. Image
This is the “making sense of things” section of my desk.

Usually, I draft ideas by hand, and only after I’ve done an outline and written a few Prompting Questions and/or Topic Sentences, do I go and type. But this morning the words just flowed and I went with the flow. Image
For those who ask about my marginalia: frequently I summarize key points, but other times I have a dialogue with myself - what did I learn from this sentence or paragraph or section? Or how is this research linked to my own or to others? Image
So these are my #MorningParagraphs (2 well crafted, 2 in drafty form). Also, my #DailyWordCount

@WendyLBelcher - today I wrote a 429 words memo on the ethics of fieldwork in hospital ethnography

@loleen_berdahl - I wrote for more than 10 minutes! (1 hour)

Bold statement before I go back into class:

We need more “reading and reflecting and sharing smart thoughts” time and less seminars where people present papers/give talks.

I want the Reading Group/Book Club/Learning Circle to experience a full revival.
I understand the purpose of seminars where we all read the presenter’s paper and help them think things through. I’ve benefited from those.

But imagine a Learning Circle where we all read one chapter of a book or ONE published article and share what we learned deom it?
*from it*

Personally, I learn a lot more from conversing and discussing the material than from being a relatively passive information consumer at a seminar.

One article or book chapter a week, 45 minutes of group discussion. This would be real nourishing food for my brain.

THREAD: on how you can identify Conceptual Saturation and how you can converge on a topic or theme:

I’ve been reading on #HospitalEthnography for a while now. Recently, I’ve converged on a topic: access to field sites and gate-keeping. Relevant to my project on fieldwork.
These 3 articles give me ideas for a #MorningParagraphs: what are some of the issues that arise with regards to access to hospital wards as sites for field research - and what are the ethics of said access?

I outlined some ideas in a blank piece of paper.
What I did with these notes is that I mapped out which authors I could or should cite for each one of these ideas (see dribbles in pink)

I added a few even if they aren’t explicitly on nurses as gatekeepers because these citations DO provide insight on this topic too.

THREAD: On shared databases, literature reviews materials and Conceptual Synthesis Excel Dumps (CSED), Mendeley and Dropbox folders for a laboratory or a coauthorship.

You may recall that a few weeks ago, I asked you if you used any of my techniques and whether you shared stuff
When I had my own lab, @CoReGovLab, I used to share Dropbox folders, Mendeley folders/groups and CSEDs with my research assistants and my coauthors. That was/is part of the deal with me: if you work with me, we may want to implement my methods (for both of our sakes)
I am at a different institution now, BUT I still believe in the power of sharing the same methods, heuristics, files and approaches to doing research.

I am currently co-editing a book with @Pran_eeta which means we're going to have to share CSEDs, Mendeley and Dropbox folders.

Hilo para mi Twitter hispanoparlante: me han preguntado en cursos y talleres y mis estudiantes cómo es que decido si tomo apuntes en mi Libreta de Todo (Everything Notebook), Nota Cornell, una Ficha de Trabajo o en mi Excel Dump de Síntesis Conceptual. Mis reglas son flexibles.
En general, TODAS mis lecturas pasan a un renglón del Excel Dump, aunque sea solamente mis apuntes en los márgenes de la Lectura Rápida AIC.

El asunto se complica cuando noto que un artículo o capítulo lo tengo que leer más a profundidad. Este es un ejemplo:
Mi método AIC (todos estos posts, están en inglés): raulpacheco.org/2021/01/skimmi…

Mi método de la Síntesis Conceptual (Excel Dump) raulpacheco.org/2016/06/synthe…

Mi proceso sistemático (AIC+CSED) raulpacheco.org/2017/12/carvin…

Este artículo es sobre ética de la investigación cualitativa.
