Safe In Oxford
Hmmm … to all who sent me all the sms messages and emails: thanks for your concern. Luckily enough, I am in Oxford at the moment and won’t be going back to London till Sunday. Then I hope things will get back to normal. Tho here in Oxford people appears to be mad chilled … nobody seems to be bothered with what happened in London this morning … well, at least it looks like that. I keep getting smss whether I am ok and where am I. Seems to me that the rest of the world is in much greater panic about what’s happening around here than can actually be felt here.
My conference has just started and my presentation was good this morning. Most of the participants here are philosophers so the comments were quite interesting. One for example said: you know, there is no such thing as quantitative data, all data is in fact qualitative. Wow, I need to have a conversations with him. And the other one said: You know, a qualitative methodology is positivist one as well. And there was another comment on how all social science methodology is rubbish and that there is a completely different approach to research. I like all three of them and hope to have some fruitfull discussions in the following days.
In the afternoon me and Jana went to do some strolling thru the city, which btw is extremely appealing. And I found a fantastic book which I happened to forget in a toilet in the cinema … then I needed to rush back and at my surprise it was still there. Well, people probably don’t find a big excitement in social research methods book from Clive Seale … Actually it’s a very good reader.
Will keep in touch …
