@SuaderoDiaries

Several hat tips for providing me with new references and citations recently.

@SuaderoDiaries for pointing me to Lee and Renzetti's edited special issue of American Behavioral Scientist on researching sensitive issues journals.sagepub.com/toc/abs/33/5

@nunezzomar

.@nunezzomar for highlighting the work of Bankoff. Cited one of his papers, onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

And I'll say that the edited volume on Mapping Vulnerability where Bankoff is also involved is fantastic too.

@chadkooistra

Thanks to @chadkooistra for reminding me of "member checking" as a strategy to ensure the trustworthiness of qualitative research results journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

It's been almost 9 years since I created the #ScholarSunday hashtag. raulpacheco.org/ScholarSunday

I was tired of the long lists of #FollowFriday Twitter IDs and wanted to make something more focused on academia/scholarly life.

Shepherding the hashtag takes a lot of time.

@zephoria

BUT, this morning, as I write my keynote for tomorrow (this is a practice I got from watching @zephoria write hers and post them on to her website), I am thinking about several people to whom I owe my thinking for this particular keynote. So here are a few recommended follows:

@AWutich

First off, @AWutich from whom I learn SO MUCH about SO MANY THINGS. I follow Dr. Wutich for various reasons, but one of the key ones is her scholarship on water insecurity, but also her mastery of qualitative methods (AE of the journal @MethodsField) #ScholarSunday

En la literatura sobre psicología política, lo que están haciendo quienes promueven la consulta popular se llama “priming”: convencernos de una idea (que en este caso es falsa) a través de estímulos.

Esta es la carátula del volante de promoción: fotos de los ex presidentes.

Al incluir la palabra “juicio”, las fotos de los ex presidentes, la frase “impunidad no”, quienes diseñaron el volante pretenden hacernos creer que la consulta es para enjuiciar a los ex presidentes.

FALSO. Esta es la pregunta real:

Yo sé que hay un mundo de gente que ha vendido esta consulta como “un proceso para formar una comisión de la verdad”.

Esta no es la idea que promueve el volante.

Repite la falsedad aquí: NO están consultando si se van a juzgar o no a los ex presidentes y sus secuaces.

A lot of new followers over the past weeks/months, and I've been wanting to do a thread on the kind of research I do, but I've never made the time. So here it goes, for those of you new to following me:

I'm an Associate Professor with the Methods Lab at the Latin American Faculty for Social Sciences (FLACSO) in their Mexico campus. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor in the Public Administration Division at CIDE, and before that a Lecturer at UBC Political Science.

@IHEAL_CREDA

I was a Visiting Professor at @IHEAL_CREDA in 2019, where I taught courses on International Development and Comparative Public Policy and Administration (strangely enough, I taught in Spanish in a French institution). I've taught full time in Mexico, Canada, and France.

@causalinf

Since @causalinf is talking about this, I am going to explain how I take a real holiday by referring to this piece by @zephoria danah.org/EmailSabbatica…

I do something VERY similar to what danah does: I tell my coauthors, collaborators, colleagues: "I'm going on holidays"

I do this weeks in advance. I also tell my students the same. In the before times, as my students were near to defending their theses/submitting their final drafts, I would work during my vacation and provide them with feedback.

I will no longer do this. Instead, I will...

... ensure that BEFORE I go on holidays, they will all have received meaningful feedback from me (and they can work while I'm away). Obviously, if a real crisis arise, they all have my phone number and know that they can call me. I also always encourage them to take time off.
