The Role of the Researcher

Abstract

In “The Role of the Researcher,” we provide encouragement for carefully considering and defining relationships among material, audience, and scholarly venues. We hope that this discussion will prompt readers to find new avenues for capturing and documenting their work, and perhaps add a new dimension to ongoing research interests. We discuss various research methodologies, IRB guidelines, primary research methods and methodologies, research with human subjects, the scholarship of teaching, and research with students.
