Rad Resource \u2013 the Listening Resource<\/a>:<\/b> I was introduced to Susan Eliot\u2019s blog when she wrote about it on aea365<\/a> in December of 2011, back when it was called the Qualitative Research Blog. This is my \u201cgo-to\u201d resource for ideas that I can apply immediately in my own work. You can tell that Susan is conducting qualitative research in her day to day practice and she offers grounded advice on how to improve the down and dirty doing of qualitative inquiry. Don\u2019t miss the very useful set of free downloadable guides on everything from \u201cInformation Rich Sampling\u201d to \u201cRecording Focus Groups\u201d that can be found on her Free Downloads<\/a> page.<\/p>\n Rad Resource \u2013 Research Design Review<\/a>:<\/b> The counterpoint to the Listening Resource, RDR proclaims that \u201cif it is not already obvious, this is not a how-to blog.\u201d Authored by Margaret Roller, it asks the question \u201cis it good research\u201d and digs deep into research design of all types. Here, there is thoughtful examination of qualitative research, never giving it short-shrift to its quantitative cousin. Roller examines everything from bias and transparency to measurement error and meaning finding, and does so both articulately and succinctly.<\/p>\n Do you have questions, concerns, kudos, or content to extend this aea365 contribution?
