Introduction to Graduate Research (Fall 2021)/Resources

Week 2 (Puzzles)

 * Thomas Kuhn. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions - Classic in the philosophy/sociology of science. Came up in reference to the ideas of "normal science" and "paradigm shifts," but also provides a concept of scientific puzzles that might give some useful ways to contextualize Abbott's and Buchholz's comments on the subject. Speaking of Abbott


 * Andrew Abbott (presumably?) published many pseudonymous book reviews the American Journal of Sociology under the name of "Barbara Celarent", a fictional(?) persona from the University of Atlantis writing in the 2040s/2050s (!)
 * Example 1
 * Example 2
 * Example 3


 * Larissa Buchholz recommended the following book: Robert Peters. Getting what you came for: The smart student's guide to earning a master's or Ph.D (Goodreads reviews/summary).
