Abduktiv analys: överraskningar och teorikonstruktion

Det krävs ingen anmälan till detta seminarium, som hålls på engelska.

This talk outlines some of the main tenets of abductive analysis: an attempt to analytically center the surprises that emerge in the research process, and to think through such surprises as opportunities to develop theory within a particular community of inquiry. Outlining some of the inspiration of the approach in Pragmatist philosophy, and some methodological precepts, I will then exemplify this approach with current research revisiting Stanley Milgram's classic "obedience experiments."
