1 GFAD 712: Qualitative Methods Spring 2000 Mondays, 7 9: Cabell David Waldner 146A Cabell /daw4h@virginia.edu Office hours: Wednesdays, 1 3:00 Qualitative or comparative methods are conventionally understood to be responses to the "small n" problem, ie research designs encompassing many candidate hypotheses but too few cases to employ statistical methods. The solution to this problem is for comparativists and others treating a small number of cases to mimic quantitative methods. In part, this course will take seriously this critique and proposed remedies. In our more ambitious moments, however, we will explore a series of epistemological and ontological issues that might support an alternative reading of contemporary methodological debates, one that gives far more priority to case studies in establishing adequate causal explanations. The point is not to replace one methodological dogma with another, but to open up new areas of inquiry and to defend a multiplicity of methodological options by linking each of these options to its philosophical foundation. Along the way, we will discuss more conventional issues of research design, and students are encouraged to introduce their own work into our debates. But students should be warned that the goal of the class is not to produce a recipe book of research design algorithms. The main requirement of the course is to do the reading and come to class prepared to discuss it. The reading list is long, but we typically only read lots of short pieces or selections from longer pieces. As for written assignments, I would like students to construct their own course assignments. Ideally, you will all write a thesis prospectus or thesis chapter, one that draws liberally on issues and readings from the course. Those of you not at that stage will need to choose another assignment, such as a series of short papers; a final paper exploring in detail one of the themes of the course, a critical essay such as those by listed below in the readings for April 4 or 11 I ll even consider assigning a midterm and final exam to students who wish to take them. The point is that your written work should ultimately help you to apply this material toward your own research.
