Study Notes
Research Design and Qualitative Methods (GEOG361)
- Theory is a framework for understanding the world, developed through observation and patterns.
- Research provides a disciplined way of knowing about ourselves and the world.
- It is essential to critically analyze the authority figures we rely on for information.
- Quantitative research involves quantifiable data.
- Qualitative research explores aspects that are not easily measured.
- Both methods follow the scientific method.
- Data is empirical evidence used to test theories.
- Research must be systematic and reproducible.
- The research process involves planning, data collection, analysis and interpretation.
- A strong research question is limited, feasible, observable, tangible, and countable.
- Gentrification is the process of social upgrading, often through investments and re-commodification leading to displacement.
- Capitalism thrives on expanding and transforming things into commodities.
- The Rent Gap is the disparity between the actual price and the potential value of a property, influencing capital investment.
- Accumulation by dispossession refers to gaining control of land and resources.
- Insider research leverages personal experience, but can lead to bias.
- Outsider research provides a different perspective, but may miss nuances.
- Power dynamics are inherent in research and influence interactions.
- Ethical considerations in research include informed consent, anonymity, confidentiality, and non-harmful practices.
- Field notes are detailed records of observations and reflections.
- Commodity fetishism focuses on superficial aspects of products.
- Industrial food is complex and often hidden from consumers.
- The market presents a false reality, hiding the truths of food production and ecological consequences.
- Neo-bohemia is the attraction of middle-class individuals to working-class areas associated with authenticity and counter-culture appeal.
- Authenticity is a key theme in neo-bohemia, contrasting with the perceived inauthenticity of mass-produced commodities.
- Bohemian traditions, passed down through art and culture, influence the appeal of specific neighborhoods.
- Literature review is crucial to understand existing research and position your own study.
- Ethnography employs participant observation and other qualitative methods to understand social groups.
- Participant observation involves immersing oneself in the research environment.
- Gaining access to research settings can be challenging, requiring luck, skill, and perseverance.
- Overt research acknowledges the researcher's presence, while covert research hides it.
- Key informants provide valuable insights but can influence the researcher's perspective.
- Field notes are essential for documenting observations, experiences, and reflections.
- Visual ethnography incorporates photography.
- Reflexive writing critically examines the researcher's role and impact on the research.
Photovoice
- Photovoice is a method used in research, where participants are asked to take photos that represent their experiences.
- Traditionally, disposable cameras were given to participants, but today, smartphones are often used.
- Participants analyze their photos and share their interpretations with the researcher.
Sampling in Ethnographic Research
- Probability sampling is rarely used in ethnographic research.
- Purposive sampling involves selecting participants who are likely to provide rich information about the study group.
- Snowball sampling involves starting with one participant and asking them to refer the researcher to others.
Ethnographic Research
- Ethnographic research focuses on understanding people's experiences from their perspective.
- It emphasizes recognizing social differences and acknowledging how people's lives vary based on their identities.
- Feminist perspectives are important in ethnography, as traditionally, research has been dominated by male perspectives.
- Ethnographic research involves collecting qualitative data and using theories to interpret it.
- The goal is to provide compelling narratives supported by evidence.
- Determining when to stop collecting data can be challenging, especially when deadlines exist.
