How might the arguments raised in the book connect with bigger themes/issues pertaining to the research (both quantitative and qualitative) process and the dissemination of knowledge? Discuss.

 

What does the book suggest to you regarding your responsibilities as a potential researcher/knowledge producer (and yes, your dissertation still counts as “knowledge production”)? Reflect on this and discuss.

 

Describe how you see your role, as an educated person, where it comes to helping those without your background in statistics to understand research findings?

 

The author makes the claim that the ways in which things are measured “counts” when it comes to conducting statistical analyses and, ultimately, the way that statistics are interpreted. Reflect on and discuss what you perceive to be the main points the author addresses in relation to this topic. What insights did you arrive at?

 

How does the author address the issue of “sampling” in the book? Reflect on and discuss what you perceive to be the main points? What insights did you arrive at?
