The Yale Sociology Workshop in Urban Ethnography presents
Jamie J. Fader, Ph.D., Professor of Criminal Justice, Temple University:
“How To Show Them What’s In The Sauce: Building Transparency Into Ethnographic Research And Writing.”
Jamie J. Fader’s work centers lived experiences of marginalized groups who are impacted by the criminal legal system, boys, and men of color, incarcerated youth, and LGBTQ emerging adults. She is the author of Falling Back: Incarceration and Transitions to Adulthood for Urban Youth (2013, Rutgers University Press) and On Shifting Ground: Constructing Manhood on the Margins (2024, University of California Press).
Ethnographers navigate an academy that privileges quantitative standards for scientific quality. Transparency, or clear explanations of qualitative research methodology, is key to demonstrating methodological rigor in publishing, academic job seeking, and tenure/promotion decisions. This workshop addresses specific strategies for building transparency into qualitative research and writing.
Workshops are in-person only and open to the public, no reservation required. Lunch will be served.
