Continuing thoughts on data retention | Investigating the Imponderable
https://investigatingtheimponderable.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/continuing-thoughts-on-data-retention
Some anthropology graduate students, trying to do something with our fieldnotes. January 13, 2013. Continuing thoughts on data retention. Sorry for the long absence. I fell into the final moments of my fieldwork at the same time I started re-reading all of my fieldnotes from two and a half years of chunks of fieldwork. Needless to say, I went looking for the forest and face-planted on a few trees in the meantime. Given my understanding of this important difference between indices and codes, I better unde...

https://teachersherrie.wordpress.com/2015/03/13/getting-started-getting-somewhere
Teacher Sherrie – The Road Less Travelled. Reflections on teaching, learning and various research interests. Getting started, getting somewhere. March 13, 2015. March 13, 2015. I’m into the fourth month of my Phd journey. Here’s what it’s been like:. 1st month – December 2014. I started baking (muffins and cookies), made dishes (mac n cheese, roast chicken) and was amazed how an oven and recipes can turn the kitchen klutz into, well, not a kitchen goddess (nowhere near there), but at least a regular bake...

Productivity Moment by Moment | Teacher Sherrie – The Road Less Travelled

Teacher Sherrie – The Road Less Travelled. Reflections on teaching, learning and various research interests. Productivity Moment by Moment. March 25, 2015. March 25, 2015. It has become clear to me that pursuing full-time academic or research work revolves around writing. There’s thinking, reading, musing, but writing is the central activity that binds all the activities of scholarship and knowledge finding and creation into a visible, searchable, reflect-able artifact. The more we get together, the happ...

The more we get together, the happier we’ll be | Teacher Sherrie – The Road Less Travelled

Teacher Sherrie – The Road Less Travelled. Reflections on teaching, learning and various research interests. The more we get together, the happier we’ll be. March 20, 2015. March 20, 2015. The UK-style phd program can lead to an isolating experience with the phd student engaged in solo acts of reading and writing. Having study groups may fill that lonely gap, but how can this be done? Oh, the more we get together,. Together, together,. Oh, the more we get together,. The happier we’ll be. Not often at all!

Teacher Sherrie – The Road Less Travelled. Reflections on teaching, learning and various research interests. April 29, 2015. April 29, 2015. This whole business of writing and refining your proposal is an exercise in building up stamina, finding new routes, and being persistent in moving forward. A bit like digging a tunnel – you just have to keep on digging until you’ve reached a place where it’s safe to pop your head out into the light! My love-hate relationship with writing deadlines. You are commenti...

My love-hate relationship with writing deadlines | Teacher Sherrie – The Road Less Travelled
https://teachersherrie.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/my-love-hate-relationship-with-writing-deadlines
Teacher Sherrie – The Road Less Travelled. Reflections on teaching, learning and various research interests. My love-hate relationship with writing deadlines. April 1, 2015. April 1, 2015. I can’t write without them. I mean thoughtful, focused writing when your mind could wander off on another theory, another concept, another methodology. I’m not sure if I can meet this all important deadline. I know there’s the option to extend the deadline but I’d rather not if I can help it. ...Sure, it’s stress...

Early Attempts at Analysis with Excel | Investigating the Imponderable

Some anthropology graduate students, trying to do something with our fieldnotes. January 22, 2013. Early Attempts at Analysis with Excel. Okay, here’s what I’ve got:. 1) I did a line by line index of all my interviews, archival data, observations, and reflections. 2) I have that index in excel (it’s 4 columns by 16425 rows). 3) I also have six pattern groups that reflect, for lack of a better term, the spheres of context that i think are at play. What I want to do:. What I think I have to do:. You are co...

https://investigatingtheimponderable.wordpress.com/2012/10
Some anthropology graduate students, trying to do something with our fieldnotes. Monthly Archives: October 2012. October 13, 2012. Thinking through data retention…. Therefore, what I could see adding is the following. At the top of each excel sheet, insert maybe three or four sentences: (for example) Charlotte and I are having a conversation and she tells me about a book. After a while she starts crying. Then she collected herself and we continued the conversation. It was kind of weird be...I think that ...
