Anybody who has ever read my work knows that I’ve done a lot of research using qualitative methods (even though I consider myself a multi-method scholar). Anyhow, Dr. Yasemin Besen-Cassino requested suggestions of “cool journal articles/book chapters” that her qualitative research methods students’ might be interested in reading.
Since we have a new Masters in Methods for Public Policy Analysis (CIDE METPOL) and I will be teaching a couple of courses there, I decided to turn my thread into a permanent blog post for people to refer to this one.
Ok, my brain was friend 20 minutes ago, I think I still have some energy in me. In response to @besencassino on qualitative methods, here are a few suggestions. Obviously Cresswell, Goertz and @BentFlyvbjerg on case studies, I think we’ve literally left Yin 1984 behind.

I know that I am as guilty of not providing full links to citations in some cases, but I was sleep-deprived. Though I personally prefer to offer suggestions with full citations and links to all PDFs.

VERY important – on decolonising research methods, obviously DECOLONIZING METHODOLOGIES: RESEARCH AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
by Linda Tuhiwai Smith, 1999, Zed Books, London. I think this topic is somewhat overlooked in Western sociology though recently taken up by anthropology.— Dr Raul Pacheco-Vega (@raulpacheco) April 30, 2019
Conducting elite interviews – you should use chapters from @thwillow ‘s excellent “Interview Techniques in Political Science”, particularly the chapter by the late Lee Ann Fuji on working with interpreters, Sarah Brooks’ IRB chapter, Lauren Morris McLean’s chapter on interviewers

This particular article by Dr. Carole McGranahan is amazing, on ethnographic sensibility and teaching it without fieldwork.
You can download the McGranahan article here https://t.co/cwyU2DUvYi and now I’m done. I’m SO tired. </end thread> #QualitativeMethodsRPV

I also chose to embed a few suggestions that scholars provided on Dr. Besen-Cassino’s thread that had direct URLs and that I found interesting to read as well. See below.

I particularly love Dr. Zeynep Arsel’s work.
I like @zeyneparsel ‘s paper “Asking Questions with Reflexive Focus: A Tutorial on Designing and Conducting Interviews” Might not be on your radar. https://t.co/DeKYTp5uQ7

I love the work Dr. Daisy Verduzco Reyes does, and in particular this piece of hers involves doing qualitative work with communities of color (Hispanic/Latino)

I actually teach with Dr. Wolfinger’s article on field notes, see below.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t plug my own paper, about field notes:https://t.co/pbd4cxcQWS

On flexible coding:
Thanks! If you haven’t seen it, also check out @JessicaCalarco‘s nice follow-on discussion of coding ethnographic field notes! https://t.co/s2pkku4F44

In the future, I plan to write more about qualitative and experimental methods as well, both for my own students and for others.
