To Do:

2) Make one original posting and one reply posting that consider this form of qualitative research. Both your original posting and your reply posting should include specific points from the article as well as the textbook.
Your original posting should specifically address three (3) of the following topics:
Schutt (2021) identifies seven fundamentals of qualitative methods (pp. 178-179). Which of these are the most applicable to the research explained in the Dodson et al. article?
Were the researchers in this study ‘complete participants’ or ‘covert observers’ or something in between? Identify and explain the roles taken by Dodson (low-income mothers), Schmalzbauer (undocumented Honduran immigrants), and Piatelli (middle class peace and justice networks).
What are some of the advantages of using Interpretive Focus Groups (IFGs)?
What are some of the disadvantages of using Interpretive Focus Groups (IFGs)?
The researchers identify three “risks” of this type of research (Dodson et al., 2007, pp. 835-837); which do you see as the most/least relevant?
What are some of the ethical issues involved in this type research? Do the risk/reward trade-offs tilt in one direction?
Are there other ways that any of these three research topics [low-income mothers, undocumented Honduran immigrants, and middle class peace and justice networks] could be effectively studied?
In their conclusion, the researchers assert that production of knowledge should not be reserved for scholars and they question “certain social research traditions” (Dodson et al., 2007, p. 839). To what extent do you agree with their conclusion?
