Mulling Over School and Life: I am, Hear me Roar

by Roy W Wilson

Overview

Building on work done in previous volumes in the series, I begin a systematic examination of the relationships between the sex, kind of dominant reflexivity, and social status of the South High study participants. I also present the analytical tool of Qualitative Comparative Analysis that allows researchers to entertain, and evaluate, explicitly causal claims in connection with very small datasets.
