There's no one right way. Rigorous doesn't have to mean rigid. Are you a dirtbagger? #methods #qualmeth #socialscience #academictwitter #interdisciplinary

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

I've been reading a *lot* of research lately and I can't tell you how often people use a gap in the literature to motivate their work. If you go this route, be sure to explain *why* the gap needs filling. The mere presence of a gap is not motivation enough.

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

I will also plug my book a little.

I’m a #dirtbagger when it comes to conducting #qualitativeresearch. #Dirtbag is a title I #wearwithpride. Read @ashleytrubin’s book “Rocking #Qualitative #Social #Science: An Irreverent Guide to Rigorous #Research” (Stanford University Press, 2021). #qualmethod #justadirtbag

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

Reviewing my index for #RockingQualSocSci and I love that there is an entry for "asshole questioners" (which covers multiple pages)!

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

Getting my first glimpse at the page proofs for #RockingQualSocSci and this blocky/bold font is giving me all the feels! I love it!

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

Doing the page proofs for #RockingQualSocSci and forgot that I had this line in there: "Some people will judge you for that but fuck them—sleep comes first." I love that I wrote this (and that the publisher didn't make me change it)! #AreYouADirtbagger @DirtbagMethods

[RockingQualSocSci @DirtbagMethods]

How do you come up with a research question for your #qualitative proj?

Do you need to have one before you start collecting your data?

It really depends on your goals and how big a hurry you're in!

#RockingQualSocSci has a whole chapter on this!

[RockingQualSocSci @DirtbagMethods]

The responses to this tweet are heartening! I see you, fellow Dirtbaggers! #AreYouADirtbagger #RockingQualSocSci

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

Fuck everyone who says historical and archival methods can't be qualitative social science methods.

[RockingQualSocSci @DirtbagMethods]

It me!!

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

It's not like there's this book someone wrote that features a bunch of instructions on how to use historical and archival data for qual social science analysis. https://t.co/gW66fAc89J

[RockingQualSocSci @DirtbagMethods]

Excellent point! Lots of quant assumptions don't translate well to qual research.

[RockingQualSocSci @DirtbagMethods]

Ever hear someone say randomization is the only proper sampling selection? Yeah, that doesn't always work so well in #qualmeth.

#RockingQualSocSci discusses the ins and outs of #sampling strategies and how to pick the best approach for your #qualitative proj.

[RockingQualSocSci @DirtbagMethods]

How do you *know* you are right? What are some things you can do to boost your confidence when using #qualmeth to engage in #causalinference?

#RockingQualSocSci discusses some tools and tricks in Chapter 10.

[UHM Sociology @UHM_Sociology]

Congratulations to @ashleytrubin as her book “Rocking Qualitative Social Science” is going to be published in August 2021. If interested in participating in a workshop on #qualmeth, book talk, or any info related to the book, please sign up here -

"Your sample size is too small!"

#AcademicTwitter, raise your hand if you've heard that before? 🙋‍♀️

#RockingQualSocSci discusses how this critique gets overused and what are some better ways to evaluate sample size in qualitative projects.

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

My publisher @stanfordpress suggested I create a sign-up sheet for folks who want to get on the mailer! https://t.co/EfjrOGJ58w

[RockingQualSocSci @DirtbagMethods]

"You're sampling on the dependent variable!"

Ummm.... That's not always a bad thing. #RockingQualSocSci explains why, and when it's okay to sample on the DV!

#AcademicTwitter

[Dr. Ashley T. Rubin @ashleytrubin]

#RockingQualSocSci is mainly for grad students and early career scholars, but I'm hoping everyone can learn something from it, whether they use qualitative methods or not! A big focus is how to properly evaluate #qualmeth since so many misconceptions exist.
