PhD Wannabes: September 2010
http://wannabephds.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Reflection on Luker, Chapters 4-5. When the variables and effects that you are studying reside internally within human beings, how do you observe them? Self-report measures are the only option I can think of at present, although I will need to investigate this further. Is this method valid? Monday, September 27, 2010. Because she defies classification? Or, specifically because she is claimed by constituents of particular fields? Is Haraway no longer a scientist? To have a v...

PhD Wannabes: November 2010
http://wannabephds.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. I thoroughly enjoyed Dean Sharpe's lecture today and could completely understand how one could dedicate their career to the ethics of research. While at times I'm sure this position can be rife with conflict, I was impressed by the passion he had for developing policy and protecting the rights of participants. Is it because it is reflective of the innate evil nature of those with power to corrupt those without it? And just as a reminder so that as researchers we never forget th...

Comparing Luker and Knight close to the end of the proposal, provided me with an understanding of how much information/knowledge I needed from whom and when. I realize that it has surely been fruitful to experience the different ways of approaching a subject and accepting the various perspectives as that has allowed us to open up our minds and enabled us to see more.

Research Methods: November 07

8226; • • • A Collection of Journeys • • • •. Again, I repeat that Marc Singer is not an ethnographer nor claims to be one. But, this documentary really did show his immersion into a completely alien culture, a very bounded and precise culture. He was so immersed that he was able to entirely change the culture forever. Thursday, November 11, 2010. A Strategic Use of Methodology. That last sentence wasn’t meant to turn out as negative as it did, but it brings me into an overarching point: researchin...

Reading the required bits of the Toronto Office of Research Ethics Guidelines and Practices Manual while trying to write my proposal has been very informative yet also frustrating. So many things to consider! The participants will be able to create vsual representations of their identity both online and offline and then discuss and reflect on what they have created. The participants will spend 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon...

Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Ethnography and Game Studies. I also think it is interesting how Boellstorff differentiates between three types of game studies: 1) game cultures, 2) cultures of gaming, and 3) the gaming of cultures. In Boellstorff’s description, each level of gaming study seems to broaden the scope of the game studies field. His description very much convinces me that the field of game studies in a complex, multi-level research area that deserves more attention. Monday, October 25, 2010.
