SUMMARY:Abductive Analysis: Surprises and Theory Construction
DESCRIPTION:Contact: stina.bergman_blix@soc.lu.se\n\nNo registration is req
 uired for this seminar.This talk outlines some of the main tenets of abduc
 tive analysis: an attempt to analytically center the surprises that emerge
  in the research process\, and to think through such surprises as opportun
 ities to develop theory within a particular community of inquiry. Outlinin
 g some of the inspiration of the approach in Pragmatist philosophy\, and s
 ome methodological precepts\, I will then exemplify this approach with cur
 rent research revisiting Stanley Milgram's classic "obedience experiments.

 uation\," as well as developing projects on taste\, morality and climate c
 hange. Among other awards\, Iddo has received the Lewis A. Coser Award for
