Resources

Logical Fallacies--This is a pdf attachment of a short list of logical fallacies. It is obviously scanned from a book, although I do not know where it came from; this was emailed to me some time ago. If you know, please tell me, and I will put up the citation.

Richard Krueger's Focus Group website--Very straightforward, hands-on introduction to focus groups. Includes handouts and resources.

Forum for Qualitative Social Research--Online peer-reviewed journal for qualitative research. Also includes a discussion group for qualitative research issues.

Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis--Contains evaluations of qualitative data analysis software packages and technical information and support for users.

Links

Milgram Experiment Video--This link goes to the first of six segments. The other segments are in the "Related" box to the left of the video screen. Combined, the six segments comprise about a 45 minute video.

"Pearls Before Breakfast"--Article from the Washington Post, and an intelligent example of sociological observation. What happens when a world-famous violinist plays for change in a D.C. subway station?
