"You might think that dancing doesn’t have a lot to do with social research, and doing social research is probably why you picked this book up in the first place. But trust me. Salsa dancing is a practice as well as a metaphor for a kind of research that will make your life easier and better.”
Savvy, witty, and sensible, this unique book is both a handbook for defining and completing a research project, and an astute introduction to the neglected history and changeable philosophy of modern social science. In this volume, Kristin Luker guides novice researchers in:
knowing the difference between an area of interest and a research topic
defining the relevant parts of a potentially infinite research literature
mastering sampling, operationalization, and generalization
understanding which research methods best answer your questions
beating writer’s block
Most important, she shows how friendships, nonacademic interests, and even salsa dancing can make for a better researcher.
“You know about setting the kitchen timer and writing for only an hour, or only 15 minutes if you are feeling particularly anxious. I wrote a fairly large part of this book feeling exactly like that. If I can write an entire book 15 minutes at a time, so can you.”

作為入門書籍可以一看,但似乎都是老生常談。salsa dancing題目很sexy,但如果把書中所有跟其相關的篇幅刪掉也未見得有什麼損失,也就是個噱頭罷瞭。做老師後可作為本科生的讀物,滿足滿足他們的獵奇心,研究生階段就太淺瞭
評分2017 senior seminar. Emmm...a comprehensive summary of quant and qual research, while quite cliche. Generalizing logically.
評分語言真的通俗易懂。但主旨其實就一個,就是一定要和理論相結閤。這可能是大數據時代做qualitative的唯一優點瞭。所以有點好好傳承下去的意味。
