  1. Research

  2. Why? Why do we do research? What would debate look like without research? What is the relationship between research and argumentation? Why does anyone do research, even outside of debate?

  3. Cards What makes a good card? What makes a bad card?

  4. The Card Three Components The tag line The citation the evidence Tag line- The claim and a warrant The Economy is growing-consumer confidence and jobs are up US hegemony prevents great power war by bolstering deterrence Space exploration is imperialist-the US will expand its power by exploiting resources on other planets

  5. The Citation 1- Ask your lab leader 2- More information is always better-could a stranger find the card with your cite? 3- a general framework Author in Year (Qualifications, Source title, Article title, full date of publication, where you got it, your initials) Example: Gordon in 2011 (Malcolm, certifiable badass, Awesome Ideas Monthly, Malgor: The greatest lab leader, May 1st 2011, www.allyourcardsarebelongtous.com)

  6. Where do we find cards? The Research Hierarchy Peer Reviewed- Books, Scholarly Journals News Reports, edited policy publications Expert Blogs, ‘reader friendly’ books, ‘the googles’ NEVER: excerpts from blog comments, user reviews of books, posts on internet forums, fabrication

  7. Approaches to Research 1- Pre determined ideas 2- Discovery of the scholarly debate

  8. How do I start? Tree of knowledge metaphor- you start with the basic core idea, and branch out into greater complexity 1- start with what you know, and admit what you don’t. RESEARCH GOES BEYOND CARDS. 2- Once you have a good general knowledge, you can begin discovering the controversies. Stick to the hierarchy

  9. The Library There are two libraries, the physical and the digital. The physical library is becoming a lost frontier for debaters. Books are going digital, and debate demands recent evidence, which is almost always published digitally online.

  10. The Digital Library Start with the database Always a list by subject on library websites Common Databases EBSCO/Academic Search Premiere Jstor Lexis Muse Google Scholar**

  11. Research Momentum All research is organized in these databases by different categories-subject, key words, journal, etc. Once you find a good article and good cards in an article, you have a jumping off point. -the subject terms used to categorize that article -the footnotes/end notes and internal citations in the article -plug the article title into google scholar, and ‘cite track’ -author mining -journal mining If the point of research is to find the experts and analyze what they say, then a core component of research is to USE THEIR METHODS OF ORGANIZING THEIR SCHOLARLY DEBATES

  12. The long haul-research is a marathon, not a sprint • Go broader- if you can’t find a card it’s usually because you are being to specific • Develop synonym lists, use the words the authors of your evidence are using • Take a break between research ideas-sometimes it’s a good mental break to research something different • Ask your lab leaders/coach/peers

  13. Strive to be great, and recognize dominance and class when you see it
