[IMCnetwork] Interpretivist Conversations Over Coffee | 12pm April 1st

[Christie Woodhouse]

Dear HDR students in the interpretivist community,

Our next meeting is on Friday, 1st April. We've decided to shift the time from 11am to 12pm, anticipating that it will allow more people to join us, and that our first Friday of the month will not conflict with any of the IMC seminar series<https://politicsir.cass.anu.edu.au/events/series/imc-seminar-series> events. Please note we'll also meet in a different location. We've chosen the Street Theatre Café, as they have good capacity, shade, and inside/outside options. I hope this will suit everyone.

Time: 12pm, Friday 1st April
Place: Street Theatre Café

Theme for discussion this month, I will offer, is to consider responses to Mark Bevir and Jason Blakely's 2018 book Interpretive Social Science: An Anti-naturalist Approach published in the journal, Critical Review vol. 31 no. 3-4<https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rcri20/31/3-4>. If you've not read the book Bevir & Blakely give a great short summary in their reply article to Lisa Wedeen, Peregrine Schwatz-Shea and Coral Ban (all articles below). The dialogue invites us to think about the way the case for interpretivist social science is made: inspired by Wedeen - for which audience? And, what are the stakes?
