Pragmatic Sensemaking
Qualitative Research in an Era of Artificial Intelligence
Computational developments—particularly artificial intelligence—are reshaping social scientific research and raising new questions for in-depth methods such as ethnography and qualitative interviewing. Building on classic debates about computers in qualitative data analysis, we revisit possibilities and dangers in an era of automation, large language model chatbots, and big data. We introduce a typology of contemporary approaches to using compute…
Temporal Misalignment and Unequal Agency
This article examines how time both exacerbates and destabilizes existing inequality by stratifying agency. Drawing on five years of fieldwork in nine cancer clinics and 196 in-depth interviews with 96 patients navigating a terminal cancer diagnosis toward the end of life, we show the centrality of “temporal misalignment”—a mismatch between the temporalities enacted by individual actions and those imposed by institutional contexts structuring whe…

How individual ethical frameworks shape physician trainees’ experiences providing end-of-life care
OBJECTIVES: The end of life is an ethically challenging time requiring complex decision-making. This study describes ethical frameworks among physician trainees, explores how these frameworks manifest and relates these frameworks to experiences delivering end-of-life care. DESIGN: We conducted semistructured in-depth exploratory qualitative interviews with physician trainees about experiences of end-of-life care and moral distress. We analysed th…
Qualitative Coding in the Computational Era
Sociologists have argued that there is value in incorporating computational tools into qualitative research, including using machine learning to code qualitative data. Yet standard computational approaches do not neatly align with traditional qualitative practices. The authors introduce a hybrid human-machine learning approach (HHMLA) that combines a contemporary iterative approach to qualitative coding with advanced word embedding models that al…
Patient and clinician perspectives on a patient‐facing dashboard that visualizes patient reported outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis
BACKGROUND: Poor patient-clinician communication around patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is a barrier to the effective management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aimed to develop an RA 'dashboard' that could facilitate conversations about PROs and that would be acceptable to a wide range of patients, including English and Spanish speakers and patients with adequate or limited health literacy. METHODS: A diverse group of RA patients along with cl…
Rapid transition of a preclinical health systems science and social justice course to remote learning in the time of coronavirus
As the coronavirus pandemic started, we rapidly transitioned a preclinical social justice and health systems sciences course at our medical school to asynchronous, remote learning. We describe processes, curricular innovations, and lessons learned. Small groups were converted into independent learning modules and lectures were given live via videoconferencing technology. We started with a simplified approach and then built technological capabilit…
The promises of computational ethnography
This article argues the advance of computational methods for analyzing, visualizing and disseminating social scientific data can provide substantial tools for ethnographers operating within the broadly realist 'normal-scientific tradition' (NST). While computation does not remove the fundamental challenges of method and measurement that are central to social research, new technologies provide resources for leveraging what NST researchers see as e…
Beyond Text
Recent methodological debates in sociology have focused on how data and analyses might be made more open and accessible, how the process of theorizing and knowledge production might be made more explicit, and how developing means of visualization can help address these issues. In ethnography, where scholars from various traditions do not necessarily share basic epistemological assumptions about the research enterprise with either their quantitati…
Recruitment Practices and the Politics of Inclusion in Cancer Clinical Trials
Since the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act of 1993, researchers with federal funding have been required to include "minorities and women" in their clinical trials, and inclusion in research has come to be seen as an important strategy for reducing health disparities. On the basis of ethnographic research in oncology clinics in an academic medical center and a public hospital over a period of two years, this article exam…

Barriers to Identifying Substance Abuse in the Reformed Welfare System
Substance abuse has been identified as a potential barrier to employment in the reformed welfare system. This article uses interviews with frontline welfare workers and policy makers to examine the process of identifying welfare clients for substance abuse services. Workers’ accounts reveal that official welfare policy, day‐to‐day work conditions, relationships with clients, and the unstated stigma surrounding substance abuse create an environmen…
From Enabling to Bootstrapping
In the United States, a trope of “deservingness” shapes policy related to public aid and substance abuse. In recent decades, poor people with substance use problems have increasingly been seen as “undeserving.” Federal welfare reform, passed in the mid-1990s, is an important exemplar of this trend. Welfare reform empowered line workers to directly and indirectly withhold aid from people with substance use problems. This paper uses in-depth interv…
Representation, Responsibility and Reliability in Participant-Observation
Addiction and Welfare Dependency
Recent deliberations over welfare reform place a new emphasis on alcohol and drug addiction as a cause of welfare dependency and joblessness. Existing studies show a complex relationship between addiction and welfare dependency, but few studies closely examine the nature of this relationship. We examine several intervening mechanisms–as suggested by human capital theory, social capital arguments, and labeling theory–that help to explain this rela…
Making Cents in the Barrios
It is frequently observed that in US cities low-income immigrants are strongly attached to labor markets while the US-born poor more often suffer from detachment. This article examines everyday mechanisms related to this immigrant-native difference. Using data collected through participant-observation in two low-income Mexican-American communities in California, I examine structural-economic, cultural, and institutional perspectives on attitudes …
Using Computers to Analyze Ethnographic Field Data
Computer-assisted data analysis is usually associated with the analysis of aggregate data according to the tenets of logical positivism. But there are more than twenty computer programs designed to assist researchers analyzing ethnographic data, and these programs may be used by researchers with a variety of epistemological orientations. Some computer-assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDA) programs automate analysis procedures that have been …
