Re: No place for my work in this debate

Thank you for your post, Sean. The question of how much our readers are interested in the "sausage-making," i.e., the research process rather than just the research product (and how much we as scholarly authors are interested in conveying information about that process) is certainly an int...

Re: Against "requirements"

Thank you, Michelle. These are all good and important points.

I would like to invite others (both in security studies and beyond) to weigh in, particularly concerning the qu...

Re: Very Undesirable Unintended Consequences

Thank you, Donald and Guest, for your posts--which reinforces some of the points in the great thread started by Gary Marks about whether qualitative research is held to a higher standard. In our introduction and conclusion to the symposium in QMMR, Alan Jacobs and I argued that almost all of the sam...
