Intel Corporation's Domestic Designs and Technologies Research Group is calling for interns!
As part of Domestic Designs and Technologies Research - the ethnographic and design research team within the Digital Home Group - you will work within a multidisciplinary team of anthropologists, design researchers and documentary film makers to explore and research 'love and spirituality' and its intersection with computers and technology, in and around the home.
DDTR is a driving force within the Digital Home Group (DHG): our charter is to develop a clear & actionable understanding of daily life all over the world, identify opportunities for our platforms to enable experiences that consumers value, merge original insights with technology, market, platform and planning intelligence to define usage models & platform requirements, and seed future research & platform opportunities. DHG's vision is to make Intel the trusted foundation of your digital home. To that end, the Digital Home Group develops computing and communications oriented platforms that anticipate and satisfy the needs of consumers world-wide.
We will be offering 3 month paid internships starting in October '07 and, for graduate students in anthropology, design research or related social sciences. Interns must re-locate to the Portland, Oregon area to work closely with the research team during the entire length of the internship, and be eligible to work in the US.
We are looking for individuals with experience in designing and conducting both qualitative and/or quantitative user or design research studies, including analysis of the resulting data. Candidates should prepare a concise yet thorough 3-5 page proposal to explore some aspect of love and spirituality and its intersection with computers and technology in and around the home; inclusion of how the proposed research fits with the candidate's own research interests (broadly defined) is a plus. Exact responsibilities of the position will be defined with the successful applicant based on the proposal you submit.
Please submit your proposal (3-5 pages, including bibliographic references) describing the research you'd like to do in this area over the course of your internship to francoise.bourdonnec@intel.com. Applications (CV + proposal) must be received by July 31st for the October start date.

Hello, I'm looking for software to use for qualitative analysis of chat logs. I have searched the lists but not come up with anything relevant (perhaps I'm not using the right words?). I'll keep searching but if anyone has suggestions that would be great. Thanks in advance, Åsa Rosenberg Åsa Rosenberg Department of sociology P.O.

Dear Asa, I know that I am moatly a lurker on the list, but I wanted to offer one response. There is a class of software applications called CAQDAS (Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software) that may be helpful. Amongst these, two brands stand out (though there are others): (1) Atlas.ti and (2) the QSR line (N5 and Nvivo). My personal preference is Atlas. Both will allow you to download the text files of the chat logs and to code, analyze, and present the data in numerous ways. Hope this helps. Cheers, Derrick Dr. Derrick L.

The best software to use really depends upon your research questions. If you are doing text only work on general questions then Atlas.ti, MAXqda or NVivo (and its descendants) will all work. All are fairly pricey. If you are looking at text, and any type of multimedia data (sound, film, graphics, pics, etc) then you really only have one choice...Atlas.ti. If you are looking for concordance software there are a variety of tools available. Because my work often has an emotional component to the question I use LIWC - Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (http://www.liwc.net/) which has a very good set of dictionarys and allows me to create my own as well. I just got a new book, hot off the presses, that you and other list members might find helpful. Lewins, Ann & Silver, Christina (2007). Using Software in Qualitative Research: A Step-by-Step Guide. Los Angeles: Sage. I learned about the book at qualitative software session at ICQI (http://www.qi2007.org/) and immediately ordered a copy. So far I have been very pleased with the way the authors worked through helping a reader select which software is appropriate for their project. Hope that helps.
