This goal of this short course is to increase participant’s understanding of theorizing and writing field-based research projects for publication in academic outlets. We will conduct our class as a ‘studio.’ To that end, we will read about as well as examine and practice different ways of theorizing and writing qualitative data. The theorizing part will focus on the analytic practices of artifact construction and coding. We will practice open and focused coding (Locke, K. 2001) and examine the use of artifacts and coding in published papers. The writing part will examine how researchers construct opportunities for contribution, craft theorized storylines, and justify claims to knowledge in published papers (Golden-Biddle & Locke, 2007). Both parts will focus on the use of discovery and validation processes as mutually constituted in published papers (Locke, Feldman. & Golden-Biddle, 2015; Locke, Golden-Biddle & Feldman, 2008; Locke, Feldman & Golden-Biddle, 2022).
