Una decisión institucional importante de la FLACSO México para fortalecer la formación de profesionales en ciencias sociales fue, en mi opinión, abrir los Diplomados Internacionales.

Hoy participé en el #DICPE Diplomado Internacional sobre Comunicación Política Estratégica. Selfie of me giving a talk.
Impartí la clase de Análisis de Contexto, Análisis de Actores y Análisis de Riesgo Político en Comunicación Política Estratégica.

(les apuesto a que no sabían que en una vida anterior trabajé en relaciones públicas, mercadotecnia y comunicación digital)
Gracias a la profesora Georgina Flores-Ivich @gefloresivich por invitarme a participar en el #DICPE desde su primera edición (¡vamos en la tercera!). Y gracias a quienes participan en el #DICPE porque disfruté enormemente la sesión y creo que aprendimos mucho en colectivo.
Los dos sitios web que les recomendé fueron:

- Para mapas mentales (que les ayudan a formular los mapeos de actores): mindmaps.app/#

- Para el análisis de matriz influencia-interés, GroupMap: groupmap.com (recuerden, la versión gratuita sólo dura unos días!)

Today is the end of the month. While I am changing my work habits to respond properly to my physician's request ("work as much as like a normal person, not YOUR normal"), there are a number of practices I've sustained I hope to continue, and they might be of use to you all.

🧵
1) At the end of every month, I write a list of my Accomplishments. Doing so helps me see what I have done, as small as it may look to others or even to me, on paper.

This month, I returned to in-person teaching (2 courses), and I AM ALIVE AND WELL.

raulpacheco.org/2021/05/writin…
2) Also at the end of every month, I try to re-calibrate what I planned to do. I am heading to London for 2 weeks, with a few side trips to Portsmouth, Bath and Loughborough. This means I need to readjust what I expect to accomplish.

Be kind with myself raulpacheco.org/2021/06/on-mul…

Since this request comes from a good friend, here goes a quick thread on recommendations for a PhD student preparing for their viva, or doctoral dissertation defense as we say in Canada, the US and other countries - (viva is very much a UK thing, though viva voce *is* Italian)
The first thing I tell doctoral candidates is to remember what the purpose of the PhD is: to produce an original piece of research that makes a contribution to the literature and that demonstrates the ability to undertake independent, competent research. raulpacheco.org/2018/11/what-i…
The second thing I tell them is to ensure that they have touched all elements of what a doctoral dissertation should have as they prepare the presentation (in whichever software they choose: Power Point, Prezi, Canva, Google Slides, RStudio, etc.). See: raulpacheco.org/2018/01/prepar…

Me enteré ésta semana de que hay un buen número de estudiantes que están en las etapas intermedias del doctorado a quienes se les está dificultando cerrar, y escribir la tesis.

Este hilo de #RPVTips se enfocará en estrategias para redactar la tesis con vista al objetivo final.
Yo recuerdo bien cómo me sentía después de pasar mis exámenes pre-doctorales (comprensivos, o comprehensives como se llaman en inglés).

AGOTADO.

Ciertamente nunca me sentí más en control de la literatura que en ese momento, pero el ejercicio me cansó mentalmente.
En la universidad donde hice el doctorado, en mi programa, había exámenes predoctorales Y defensa de propuesta de tesis doctoral. En FLACSO México también existen éstas dos etapas.

En este hilo estoy asumiendo que ya pasaron ambas etapas (agotadoras, indudablemente).

#RPVBooks I love @jenniferbussell ‘s work. We are both fellow @EGAPTweets members and share many methodological interests including field experiments and shadowing. I had read her second book (this one) but I wanted to wait until I had my own physical copy to write about it. Image
This isn’t Jennifer’s first book (I also have that one and I’ll tweet about it in a few minutes). I love how repeatedly, throughout the book, Dr. Bussell explains what the puzzle is and what her core research questions were. This was important as I don’t work in this area. Preface to Jennifer Bussell...
For those of us who don’t work in this field, providing schematics and definitions is key. The core or Bussell’s question focuses on why and how constituency service makes patronage democracy work. Her theoretical and empirical chapters lay out her argument quite clearly. Image

Research methods (particularly qualitative) folks (or anybody who is syllabusing): here are a few bibliographies I have compiled (some are embedded in blog posts of mine, some I have not had the time to make them into a blog post.
A partial, commented bibliography on FOCUS GROUPS: raulpacheco.org/2022/08/a-part…
A partial bibliography on books and articles on how to conduct QUALITATIVE RESEARCH INTERVIEWS.

#RPVBooks I had read some of @adam_m_auerbach ’s work before and I sort of knew that his book would be amazing and it did not disappoint. As a scholar of urban governance and public services provision, Auerbach’s book hits all the sweet spots: informality, comparative politics. Book cover for Adam Michael Auerbach’s “Demanding Develo
I had read a few of Auerbach's articles, but the one that hit me like a brick wall was this one: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Because it really showed multiple ways of using formal and informal archival materials. Excellent work. So, I knew more or less what I was going to get.
Auerbach’s argument is that networks of party workers are able to put more pressure on governments, which enables them to demand better public services/public goods (you can read the book summary in this photo). It’s a great comparative politics study with mixed methods.
