Give Methods a Chance offers a unique multimedia introduction to
research methods. This volume, which builds on podcast interviews
available at TheSocietyPages.org, introduces readers to some of the
most creative, exciting, and influential researchers in sociology.
These stories from the field are designed to demystify the research
process and show how methods are put into action. The text and
complementary podcasts offer a distinctive, first-person window
into how sociologists generate knowledge: the fun, the headaches,
the workarounds, and the care and passion needed to get things
right. This volume is organized into four sections: Interpretive
and Qualitative Methods, Explanatory and Quantitative Methods,
Mixed Methods, and Innovations. The first section engages scholars
who employ an array of qualitative approaches to better understand
the social world. In the second section, GreenĀ and Lageson
bring together scholars who use quantitative approaches to
transform the social world into analyzable data sets. The third
section highlights scholars who use multiple methods within a
single study, often drawing on both quantitative and qualitative
data, and employing elements of the exploratory, descriptive,
interpretative, and explanatory. In the final section, the authors
look at new and exciting methodological innovations with a group of
scholars pushing the field forward, using new technologies to
gather previously inaccessible data, examining new virtual
communities and online spaces of communication, and employing
methods from outside the discipline in creative ways. This
straightforward organizational scheme will map seamlessly onto
existing texts and syllabi in research methodology, introductory
sociology, and capstone courses, while the content uniquely conveys
the voices of researchers.
