"You might think that dancing doesn’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.”
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:
knowing the difference between an area of interest and a research topic
defining the relevant parts of a potentially infinite research literature
mastering sampling, operationalization, and generalization
understanding which research methods best answer your questions
beating writer’s block
Most important, she shows how friendships, nonacademic interests, and even salsa dancing can make for a better researcher.
“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.”

评分作为入门书籍可以一看,但似乎都是老生常谈。salsa dancing题目很sexy,但如果把书中所有跟其相关的篇幅删掉也未见得有什么损失,也就是个噱头罢了。做老师后可作为本科生的读物,满足满足他们的猎奇心,研究生阶段就太浅了
评分语言真的通俗易懂。但主旨其实就一个,就是一定要和理论相结合。这可能是大数据时代做qualitative的唯一优点了。所以有点好好传承下去的意味。
