Narratives in Social Science Research

The narratives of the world are numberless.Narrative is first and foremost a prodigious variety of genres, themselves distributed amongst different substances – as though any material were fit to receive man’s stories.

The Future of Security Research in the Social Sciences and Humanities

Security, the security of society and of individuals, is at the centre of concerns of contemporary society.

Introduction to Primary Research: Observations, Surveys, and Interviews

How research is defined varies widely from field to field, and as you progress through your college career, your coursework will teach you much more about what it means to be a researcher within your field.* For example, engineers, who focus on applying scientific knowledge to develop designs, processes, and objects, conduct research using simulations, mathematical models, and a variety of test…

Research Methods in Pyschology

The research methods course is among the most frequently required in the psychology major—and with good reason.

Exploring critical realism as the theoretical foundation of mixed-method res…

Despite the call for pluralism in IS research there is a lack of multi-method research published in information systems journals. While many researchers might find the idea of using multiple methods attractive, there are barriers that prevent them from employing this approach in practice. In this paper we try to address key philosophical concerns that often deter more extensive use of multiple …
