  2. Meta-terminology Modernism to Postmodernism * What changed in us after World War II? * Positivism versus naturalistic inquiry in social science Quantitative / Qualitative

  3. Ideas to explore What are examples of meta-narratives? How does Foucault describe “power”? What does Derrida mean by deconstruction? Can language be oppressive to women? What is a “nonviolent” communicator?

  4. Everyday ways of knowing * Personal experience * Intuition (makes sense) * Authority (swayed by ethos) * Tradition, faith * Magic, mysticism

  5. Research * Based on a question * Systematic * Replicable * Reflexive and self-critical * Cumulative * Cyclical (raises more questions)

  6. Research Make a claim … Present evidence … Warrants, typically unspoken, logically connect the claim to the evidence (or make unwarranted leaps of logic)
