哈佛大学社会学系如何讲授质化研究方法?

 njemma 2020-01-11

本期推送的是哈佛大学社会学系2019年春季课程《质化社会分析》的课程大纲。授课教师为Michèle Lamont。

质化方法经常被我们提到。一方面,它看起来“酷酷的”;另一方面,很多人似乎摸不到它的线索……质化方法是不是就是找人聊天,或者说,质化研究真的有方法吗?

推送这份课程大纲,初心有二。

第一,因为它囊括了大部分质化研究的入门基础文献。当然,这些文献浩如烟海,可以尝试读读你感兴趣的部分;

第二,哪怕用手指在手机上向下划两下,我们也能感受到,在世界一流大学中,一门课程的阅读量有多么大。道理直接而残酷:不管是哪个学科,阅读量都是硬通货。

课程目标

一、《质化社会分析》课程有以下四个目标:

(1)为学生提供定性研究的基本训练。这就需要让学生了解概念化、理论、研究设计和提问策略等问题。

(2)让学生理解社会学定性研究中做出重大贡献的领域。这包括对阐释、描述和解释性研究中使用定性方法的反思。

(3)质性研究者与'研究对象'和'信息提供者'的接触比其他研究人员更密切。因此,需要学生理解定性研究的伦理责任。

(4)帮助学生对学术写作进行整体的、批判的思考,并掌握专业的论文演示技巧,以便向同行和公众展示他们的定性研究。
