Playing in the Sandbox: A Methodological Conversation

Chapter

Abstract

When Michael Maltz invited me to contribute a methodological autobiography to this volume, I turned for help to Amy Farrell, whom I knew first as a graduate student (I chaired her dissertation committee) and now as a colleague (we teach in the same department). Amy is a topnotch methodologist, and I knew she would be able to help me figure out whether I did, indeed, have a methodological autobiography. We conducted four open-ended interviews structured around an academic life history. We transcribed the interviews and condensed those four interviews into this edited piece.—NR
