by Katja Mruck 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Apologies for possible cross postings! Dear All, We would like to inform you that the 19th issue of the open-access journal "Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung / Forum: Qualitative Social Research" (FQS), edited by Hubert Knoblauch, Uwe Flick & Christoph Maeder in cooperation with Iain Lang, is available online. FQS 6(3) deals with "The State of the Art of Qualitative Research in Europe" (http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt3-05-e.htm) The contributions provide unique insights into the variety and richness of qualitative social research in Europe (without limiting the issue to a solely European perspective). As always, in addition to articles relating to "Qualitative Research in Europe," FQS 6(3) also provides selected single contributions and articles that belong to the FQS Debate on Qualitative Research and Ethics, to FQS Reviews, and to FQS Conferences. Enjoy reading!

[Air-l] Reminder - IR 6/Chicago blogging, tagging, wiki, IRC, survey, etc.
by Steve Jones 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

I write to remind everyone of the several internet options we are making available for online participation in this year's conference. I have pasted below the text of a message previously sent to air-l that includes information about these options. Several people have emailed concerning blogging, so let me say a bit more about it. The easiest way to find who's blogging the conference and to access the blogs is to tag blog postings and to use the conference wiki. For more information about tagging the conference see http://emt.url123.com/aoir6. All of the following services use tags: Flickr Smugmug Wists Technorati BlogMarks 43 Things del.icio.us Tagsurf Furl Upcoming.org Jots de.lirio.us Consumating For those of you who are blogging from the conference using another service or your own server, you can set up an account at del.icio.us, or, if you don't want a del.icio.us account but you want to share links (be they to your own blog or whatever you'd like) just sign in with login aoir and password chicago and start bookmarking. Similarly, if you are not blogging but just want to read blogs, look at the bookmarks and tags once you have logged in with that common username/password. If you don't have a blog but you'd like to write about the conference just email it to erickaakcire.aoir -at- blogger d0t com. This is not a person's email address but a direct way to actually post to the group blog. The title of your message is the title of the blog post and the body of the message is the post itself. Please include your name and affiliation. For any questions/problems email Ericka at emtrevino -at- gmail d0t com or AIM erickaakcire. Sj -----------text of previous air-l message------------ We have made arrangements for several internet-based tools to be used during the upcoming conference in Chicago, for both participants who will be at the conference as well as for those of you unable to be here. All should be up and running by Thursday, Oct. 6, and some, like the wiki, are already available. 1. Tag This Conference! aoir and aoir6 You're it. We need your help to make it easy for all of us to find the websites, pictures & blog entries related to the conference. Just use the tags aoir and aoir6 in del.icio.us, Flickr or with Technorati, then check out http://www.technorati.com/tag/aoir or aoir6 for the combined results. What is tagging? It's a way to give online content a little extra context by adding keywords called tags. Usually people tag their own collections of bookmarks or photographs so that they can find them later, but they can also be used to help other people find online content. When we agree to use the same tag it's easy for everyone to find things. What are del.icio.us, Flickr and Technorati? Del.icio.us is a social bookmarks manager where users save their links. Anything with a URL can be bookmarked in del.icio.us and described by tags and extended notes. Flickr is a popular photo sharing site that uses tags. Technorati is a blog indexing site and it collects the tags that bloggers use to describe their posts. It also displays information from del.icio.us and Flickr in its results. Don't want to sign up for these services? No signing up required! Visit http://emt.url123.com/aoir6 for details. 2. The Backchannel Don't wait until the question and answer session to discuss an interesting presentation with your colleagues. Share ideas and comment on papers as they're delivered via Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Each of the AoIR conference rooms has a corresponding chat room for backchannel discussion. Connection details and recommended chat clients will be posted in each room. Increasingly popular at technology conferences and in college classrooms, backchannel discussions allow for quick fact checking and can create a greater sense of community amongst both audience members and presenters. More details about the server and channels will be made available soon. 3. The Conference wiki A wiki is available for each conference session (organized by session, http://wiki.aoir.org/index.php?title=Internet_Research_6.0, as well as by meeting room, http://wiki.aoir.org/index.php?title=Internet_Research_6.0: _Theme_Pages). Whether you are a presenter, conference participants, AoIR member or air-l subscriber, share your thoughts about each session here. 4. Internet Survey How familiar are you with some of the trendiest Internet developments (such as wikis and blogs)? Would you like to compare your media consumption with that of your parents (and/or children)? Please take 10 minutes of your time to complete a "Generations Survey". When you finish the questionnaire, you will see a snapshot of the general results. The resulting data will be available to the conference attendees, AoIR members and subscribers to the AoIR e-mail list (air-l). All respondents will be anonymous. Link: http://generations-survey.notlong.com These efforts to use the internet to enhance conference participation are part of a project organized by graduate students at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Data from them will be made anonymous and analyzed for coursework. Thanks particularly to David Elfving and Ericka Menchen Trevino for their work on the technology for it.

Chicago - the weather is here...
by Steve Jones 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

For those of you planning your trip to Chicago for IR 6.0 next week, below is the current extended weather forecast (all temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit). While it only goes to Friday, if this past week was any indication the temperatures should be seasonable, with highs in the mid-60s to mid-70s and lows in the mid-40s to mid-50s. I doubt there will be need for heavy coats, etc. I've found the most accurate forecasts online here: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ifps/MapClick.php? map.x=238&map.y=104&MapType=3&site=LOT&CiTemplate=1 You may have heard that Chicago's nickname is "the Windy City" and that it was given it in reference to cold winter winds. That is actually not likely true, see http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-win1.htm. However, given the prevalence of skyscrapers and other tall buildings, there are spots throughout the city (including on my own campus, in front of the 28-story tall University Hall) that do indeed feel like wind tunnels. Sj ---------------------------------------- Wednesday: A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high around 67. Wednesday Night: A chance of showers. Partly cloudy, with a low near 45. Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high around 62. Thursday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 41. Friday: Sunny, with a high near 64.

constructing workers
by Jeremy Hunsinger 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of QUALITATIVE SOCIOLOGY on "Constructing Workers" "Constructing Workers": A special issue focused on efforts to organize workers in contingent labor contracts who are often not considered employees. Increasing numbers of workers fit this description, and both unions and community organizations have sought, in various efforts, to help them organize for rights and benefits due workers with employee status. How do these groups organize? With what models? With what resources? How do they construct "workers" in such a way as to make contingent workers and contingent work less contingent? How do workers see themselves and their work? We would be interested in articles dealing with any of the following topics, or other related ones. * migrant and day labor * domestic worker organizing * sex worker organizing * workfare organizing * sweatshop organizing * worker centers * unemployed workers * retail worker organizing * organizing in industries that have become or are becoming more contingent * transnational labor identities (i.e., transposition of labor politics from home to host countries by immigrant laborers) * gender, race, ethnicity, and their intersections with organizing appeals * the negotiation of union-community relations * contingent workers' encounters with the state Deadline: JANUARY 10, 2006 Manuscript submission guidelines available at: WWW.SPRINGERONLINE.COM Send papers to: John Krinsky, GUEST EDITOR Department of Political Science, NAC 4/126 City College, City University of New York Convent Avenue at 138th Street New York, NY 10031 jkrinsky(a)ccny.cuny.edu 212 650-5236 jeremy hunsinger jhuns(a)vt.edu www.cddc.vt.edu jeremy.tmttlt.com www.tmttlt.com () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail /\ - against microsoft attachments http://www.aoir.org The Associatiion of Internet Researchers
