Are you interested in conducting a dissertation or thesis that provides meaningful service to an organization or community? You are not alone. Many students want to conduct program evaluation, action research, community-engaged studies, and other forms of collaborative inquiry that do not easily fit traditional structures for dissertation and thesis writing.
This webinar focuses on three questions to consider when conducting a service-oriented dissertation or thesis:
What is a service-oriented dissertation or thesis, including its purpose and characteristics? How do I work productively with my dissertation or thesis committee, as well as the organization or community where the inquiry takes place? How do I communicate and present the inquiry work to meet university requirements and the needs of the organization or community being served?

Drs. Charles Vanover, Mariaelena Bartesaghi, and Silvana di Gregorio discuss contemporary approaches to transcription. In the first half of the webinar, they will discuss how to use machine-generated transcription to develop rich first drafts of transcripts. The automated process they describe allows qualitative researchers to reduce time spent in hand transcription while providing abundant opportunity to engage with data.
In the second half of the webinar, Charles Vanover then provides how-tos for narrativizing transcribed text. Mariaelena Bartesaghi discusses the theory and practice of transcription of spoken discourse in discourse studies, focusing on the problems of why we should transcribe features of talk, how much talk to transcribe, and the material difference these decisions make to our analyses. Silvana di Gregorio discusses new research designs for taking advantage of the time savings and responsiveness of automated transcription.
