Diane,
First, congratulations for your Doctor degree. I gave a brief look on your thesis available in xmca's site. And I like it. It's very original.
I'd like to say to you that here, in Brazil, there is an endless discussion on the different meanings of METHOD and METHODOLOGY: (1) some advocate METHOD and METHODOLOGY are synonymous. (2) for others, METHOD is "the way" and METHODOLOGY the sum of all "ways" or METHODS of approach to an object

hi mike - i suppose i've been using these words interchangeably - is there
a substantial difference between method and methodology?
i'm assuming method describes the what of inquiry, and methodology
describes why the what is what it is... ?
