Foundations of Social
Research covers several areas of knowledge relevant to the practice of
social science. Lecture and texts delineate scientific terminology and
sketch different modes of exploring social worlds, covering both
explanation and understanding. Quantitative design encompasses survey
and secondary analysis. Qualitative design covers field study and
historical-comparative methods. Methods are explored from a dialectical
standpoint in which practice is situated in the intersections of class,
gender, and race. Students consider the ethics and politics of social
research, especially the responsibility of scientists and the role of
science in segmented society. Course is designed for all types of
social scientific inquiry, including applied social science and social
work.
