How do you figure out which theory camp you're in?
- Who do you read that really clicks with you?
- "Friends of your mind" (The Color Purple)
We need theorist bootcamp!
READ MORE THEORY
- Who else has written about these questions? These hunches?
- Be careful about who you're reading... a lot of times they are secondary sources - check back several generations to get to the original meat & bones of the theory rather than rehashed, "telephone" mutations of the original theory
- Find pivotal sources to provide the seeds that your research will grow from; your research should fill the gap in the body of literature that it fits into
