Here’s the outline for the third research proposal for SIS-680, summer 2008: the relational proposal.

The fourth lecture for SIS-680, Summer 2008. Topic: “Relational Research.”

Sorry this is late getting posted; I meant to do it earlier but was unable to. And be warned that this is an even longer one than usual, clocking in at something like 2 hours 10 minutes.

Here are the two documents I mentioned in class today: the fieldnoting exercise document, and the outline of an interpretive research proposal.

The third lecture for SIS-680, on “interpretive research.” Mainly this is about ethnography. There’s some q&a near the end, so the audio gets a bit weird for a few minutes.

Oh, and this is two hours long.

Here’s a brief outline of the comparative case study research proposal. (click here)

Here’s the second lecture for SIS-680. This one’s on comparative case study methodology. Yes, it’s a long one. I suspect that most of the 680 podcasts will be long ones.

Here’s the introductory lecture from SIS-680, Summer 2008. Note that I accidentally removed some of the slide transitions so some of the visuals don’t track to the audio quite right, but you should get the basic idea. Also, note that this is a big file, about 60mb — that’s what happen when the lecture is an hour and thirty-eight minutes long! (The others will be shorter, I swear.)
