Question
Identify a sociological topic of interest to you. Discuss how each of the six qualitative field research paradigms (naturalism, ethnomethodology, grounded theory, case studies and extended case method, institutional ethnography, participatory action research) could be used to study this topic. How does the role of the researcher vary across each paradigm? Are some paradigms better suited for certain topics? Which paradigm(s) raise the biggest ethical concerns?
