My thesis is almost finished, I am only lacking 2,000 words. I am struggling on the theoretical framework. My supervisor provided me with the following notes :
Be careful of:
– Interpretations that go beyond the scope of what was observed, or make assumptions that might be invalid
– Analyses that go beyond the scope of the RQ and the observations
Needs close attention:
– Theoretical framework: right now, its not doing what it needs to do. Specifically, giving a basis for how you understand host perceptions and what tools you use to analyze them and supporting the way you break the observations into sections between Home and Work with a more concrete argument. Most of the time, I found something that indicated your argument in the text, but it is buried under other things or in the wrong place.
– This relates to a structural problem there is a tendency to move too quickly to making an assertion without giving us enough context or detail to have a sense of whats going on. remember the thing about the details of the narrative in ethnography: some of the details are skipped
I just need a new theoretical framework, and an overall correction.
