hi ann,
this is by way of reply to your most recent post today... i've also found some great articles addressing researcher positioning and the power dynamics between researchers and participants... some of this hinges on critiques of the 'insider'…
well, there does seem to be consensus around this one, so i've tracked a copy down too:-) thanks everyone!
hi ina,
i've been encouraged to look at bordieu's work in relation to my research too - also with marginalised young people, some of whom have grown up in out-of-home care... in particular the notions of social capital and bridging capital. what te…
and i would add that it can be very helpful to become familiar with critical theory, as this epistemology informs a critical ethnographic methodology. authors like habermas, mezirow, kincheloe spring to mind. my research perspective brings together…
apparently, it's all about story-telling... i've been encouraged to develop my (creative) writing skills as much as my academic research skills in order to complete this ethnographic adventure doubling as a thesis.
why thank you ann:-) my approach is the product of an undergrad in post-structuralist theory (which i didn't think was vocational at the time), a postgrad in education for social change and cutting my teeth as an activist/practitioner in feminist wo…
hi ali,
my understanding of mixed methods designs is that they bring together approaches to research that are perhaps informed by different epistemologies, or notions of what constitutes knowledge. when you say that you are proposing the use of "co…
hi ann,
it might worth having a look at:
Yin, R. K. (2009). Case study research: Design and methods (4th ed.). Thousand Oaks: Sage Publications.
cheers,

hi francisco,
you may find it helpful to have a look at the following references:
Carspecken, P. F. (1996). Critical ethnography in educational research: A theoretical and practical guide. New York: Routledge.
Foley, D., & Valenzula, A. (2005). C…
wow fantastic ann, thanks for posting this:-)
have read the mitchell article and think it will be extremely relevant for my research - with 3 caveats:
(1) her case study is of a service-learning program with privileged tertiary students while mine…
yeah i've had to simplify too. now my phd will just (!) include the following methods:
* participant observation
* field interviews
* document analysis (incorporating both researcher- and participant-generated documents)
across 3 cases, with the pro…
hi ann,
thanks for these great references. i've found the one in equity and excellence in education, and have requested the other one - unfortunately my library doesn't subscribe to the michigan journal of community service learning. tania is now a…

- If you have a dissertation database, I think my dizzy is on some. The founder of the program I researched and have been involved with for years is using it in Germany, Kurt Hahn homeland.
I was a participant observer (as an experienced leader) and took field notes on two complete wilderness trips, interviews on three trips (including the two complete trips; the other used as 'pilot' data), artifacts, journal notes (researcher's reflections) and follow up interviews 5 years later. Since the students have different experience levels, looked at the comparisons for self, community and leadership development. Other themes I focused on/found included transfer and narratives used in the context of wilderness learning. Analysis included summative, constant comparative analysis as well as those described by Spradley (rather, adapted). I can also send you a recent power point I gave at an international qualitative research conference (last week) in Guanajuato, Mexico.
Would love to hear more about your research.

- I will share with you what I have so far. The best research would be a pilot program with interval data. Then I would very much like to chi square the results with a more traditional shame based model. I will share my file if you can email me at nancylake@npgcable.com
The best treatments also include a holistic approach where the total mental health is addressed. By total I mean depressing and anxiety disorders. In the USA we seem to have a very punitive approach and it is only focused on redirecting certain sexual behaviors. It is not very encouraging at this time. The public out cry for safety seems to drive the type of treatment. Safety is a concern, but, some of these teen agers will be labeled for life as child molesters or sexual offenders, and that is regardless of any improvements.

- I am almost through with my masters in Forensic Psycholog, but I love and adore working with juvenile sexual offenders. My experience was very positive. Most of them have trust issues and PTSD from the neglect and abuse all my guys have endured in early childhood. Being able to bond with adults in a positive way, creates resiliences for these guys. I will send you my research ideas and papers if you would like. I am new here and not sure how to respond to emails..messages. I am sure I will get the hang of it soon. Nancy Lake
