Research and Publishing 101: The Rules of the Game

This hybrid course is designed for early career scholars seeking structured support in understanding how social-science research is designed and developed. The course focuses on core norms of social inquiry, including how research questions are formulated, how evidence is assessed, and how arguments are constructed and reviewed for publication. Rather than teaching specific quantitative or qualitative methods, the course emphasizes research ethics, design principles, and publication expectations, helping participants adapt their work to the standards of peer-reviewed scholarship.
