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)
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:
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.
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.
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.
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?
Iniciamos con la Dra. Beatriz Reyes-Foster @BeatriAnthro con el tema de etnografía hospitalaria y
En la segunda temporada de #ConversacionesMetodológicas, también tendremos al Dr. Pablo Barberá @p_barbera con el tema de ciencia política computacional.
Tendremos como invitados/as un amplio espectro de investigadores/as y discusiones sobre múltiples métodos.
El ciclo de conferencias #ConversacionesMetodológicas que organiza el Laboratorio de Métodos de @FlacsoMx#LabdeM tiene por objetivo estimular discusiones sobre estrategias metodológicas y empíricas y ofrecer materiales para el aprendizaje de las mismas en América Latina.
Iniciamos! El Dr. Mushfiq Mobarak hablará sobre su proyecto de normalización de uso de mascarilla en Asia del Sur, que se está replicando y escalando en América Latina). #ConversacionesMetodológicas
Sigan la conversación en Facebook Live de FLACSO México
Necesitamos reducir transmisión de COVID19 mientras que no haya mayoría de personas vacunadas. Por lo mismo, una intervención viable económicamente, es el uso de mascarilla (es obviamente una intervención de varias, debemos usarlas todas) #ConversacionesMetodológicas
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:
