This process has three parts, each with many smaller objective questions that we will try to answer: 1.Formal methodology—what is research, what are some various ways to do research and what are the philosophical bases behind these methods? Which techniques prove most fruitful in studying food? How do we use them? What are their variations? 2.Becoming acclimated to the food studies scene—who are some of the key players in food studies? What influenced them? What are some of the lenses through which food has been studied? Which speak to you and why? 3.Developing your own research interests—how can understanding the methodology and food research scene help you to find your own research niche in food studies? What interests you and why? How do you propose to study it? What is its potential significance and what are its foreseeable obstacles? How can you hone a general interest into a researchable area? }, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Deutsch, Jonathan}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
