PCE 210 - Study and Struggle: Research Methods (4 Cr.) (GCR - DAC)
This course is the research methods course for Peace Studies as well as an elective suitable to all students interested in honing their research skills. It presumes that research takes place within academic structures and within sites where groups struggle for justice. Students will learn to conduct basic to advanced level undergraduate academic research as well as a number of research approaches that prioritize the questions and data most useful to communities. We will examine the ways in which “activist research” has begun to challenge the academe’s fundamental assumptions about who studies and who is studied, and the ways in which the subject-as-researcher paradigm alters not only research questions but data and theory. We will look in particular at community-based research, participant action research and social movement research. Spring 2020. Alternating years.
