I append to this note the current draft of this bibliography. After I get
more input, I will re-post a revised draft, perhaps with indications of
which items are most recommended among the responses.
It is divided into several subsections, but the classification is
necessarily a loose one. I have not yet attempted to make the formats
uniform, and a few items were sent in with incomplete citations.
There is, intentionally, a bias toward work with more obvious relevance to
research in education. I have tried to incorporate most of the suggestions
made, if only in the final subsections listing 'other interesting works',
but have pruned a bit for relevance to the course and achieving a
representative but not exhaustive listing.
There are some, perhaps many, notable omissions (e.g. Bakhtin, for whom
nothing is really focussed on methodological issues, though there is
perhaps Voloshinov ... or Heidegger, suggestions welcome on something
brief, readable, and particularly relevant here).
I have tried to include works from such approaches as: ethnography,
ethnomethodology, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, hermeneutics,
phenomenology, feminist research, action research, cultural and social
psychology, social linguistics, microsociology, critical theory, and
postmodernism.
The course outline itself ("Logics of Inquiry") is still under development,
but will probably include components such as: issues of methodology,
exemplary studies, theoretical perspectives, and practical data analysis.
I would certainly welcome comments on: (a) what's missing, (b) who's
missing, and (c) any items you have found especially useful, or useless, in
your own work and studies.
Happy browsing ... JAY.
