> invites you to present in an upcoming conference on Interpreting
> Politics, History and Society in the 21st Century, to be held on May
> 1, 2009. The conference will serve as an intellectual forum for a
> network of scholars working on interpretive methodology. The
> conference will be held in the vibrant cosmopolitan heart of New
> York City, and bring scholars such as Dvora Yanow and Timothy
> Pachirat together to consider contemporary approaches to qualitative
> research.
>
> Since the middle of the 20th century, social science disciplines
> such as Political Science have focused their research on using
> quantitative reasoning and analysis to answer their research
> questions.. Recently, however, new qualitative methodology has
> gained increased attention, breaking away from the “classical”
> quantitative research paradigm that has dominated Political Science
> and other social science disciplines since the 1960s. This
> expansion in research methodology, which includes discourse
> analysis, textual analysis, ethnography among others – borrowed from
> sociology, anthropology, and philosophy, – has enlarged the scope of
> research and practice of political analysis. As political questions
> have grown more complex, scholars have turned to these new forms of
> research processes to address them. This conference will bring
> together scholars who have conducted alternative modes of research
> and seek to explore what can be gained from their
> particular approaches. Why did these methods need to be utilized to
> answer academic questions? What particular contributions do
> interpretive modes of analysis make to the understanding of complex
> issues? What is the place of methodology in formulating academic
> projects?
>
> The conference will consist of panels as well as a roundtable
> discussion on the practical research implications of using
> interpretive methods, bringing together scholars who conduct various
> forms of research to discuss their work and its applications.
