1. situational maps that lay out the major human, nonhuman, discursive and other elements in the research situation of inquiry and provoke analysis of relations among them;
2. social worlds/arenas maps that lay out the collective actors, key nonhuman elements, and the arena(s) of commitment and discourse within which they are engaged in ongoing negotiations---mesolevel interpretations of the situation; and
3. positional maps that lay out the major positions taken, and not taken, in the discursive data vis-à-vis particular axes of difference, concern, and controversy around issues in the situation of inquiry.
Through mapping the data, the analyst constructs the situation of inquiry empirically. The situation per se becomes the ultimate unit of analysis and understanding its elements and their relations is the primary goal.The workshop will first focus on the situational map. It can be used to design and conduct research in a flexible and iteratively responsive manner across the duration of the project. That is, the situational map can be reconstructed over time to specify the emergent elements in the research situation of concern about which data have been and/or still need to be gathered. The maps thus capture and frame the messy complexities of the situation in their dense relations and permutations, and intentionally work against the usual simplifications so characteristic of scientific work. They also allow design from the outset to explicitly gather data about theoretically and substantively underdeveloped areas that may lie in situations of inquiry. Participants are encouraged (but not required) to come to the workshop with a draft situational map and be prepared to discuss it in the group. The workshop goal is to help participants get a strong grip on the situation they are studying.Other sessions of the workshop will focus on social worlds/arenas maps and positional maps. Students who are further along in their research will be encouraged to offer draft maps for group discussion. We will also cover project maps---maps which are unique to particular research projects. These representational devices are often inspired by the various situational maps and may be used in presentations and publications.
