Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
p ildquo;You might think that dancing doesnrsquo;t have a lot to do with social research, and doing social research is probably why you picked this book up in the first place. But trust me. Salsa dancing is a practice as well as a metaphor for a kind of research that will make your life easier and better.rdquo;/i /pp Savvy, witty, and sensible, this unique book is both a handbook for defining and completing a research project, and an astute introduction to the neglected history and changeable philosophy of modern social science. In this volume, Kristin Luker guides novice researchers in: /pul liknowing the difference between an area of interest and a research topic/li lidefining the relevant parts of a potentially infinite research literature/li limastering sampling, operationalization, and generalization/li liunderstanding which research methods best answer your questions/li libeating writerrsquo;s block/li /ulp Most important, she shows how friendships, nonacademic interests, and even salsa dancing can make for a better researcher. /pp ildquo;You know about setting the kitchen timer and writing for only an hour, or only 15 minutes if you are feeling particularly anxious. I wrote a fairly large part of this book feeling exactly like that. If I can write an entire book 15 minutes at a time, so can you.rdquo;/i /p (20081127)
