Methodology
In addition to standard training in graduate school, I have sought out other opportunities for methodological training. They include:
In 2013, I organized the Berlin Program Alumni Roundtable at the German Studies Association Meeting in Denver, CO, October 3-6, 2013. The topic is: Studying Memory: Methodologies and Tools for Research
I have taught courses in research methodology at American University's School of International Service and continue to keep up with current methodological debates. I am a member of the American Political Science Associations sections on Political Networks and Qualitative & Multi-Methods Research.
My most recent methodological concerns include qualitative and constructivist network analysis, as well as the field work experience. On the latter topic, I have published an article entitled: ‘When the Field is Home: Conducting Research in One’s Country of Origin’ in the Newsletter of the American Political Science Association Organized Section in Comparative Politics, Vol.19 No.2, Summer 2008.
