all,</span>

<p class="ecxMsoPlainText"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Ever
have a vague question that you wanted to research but weren’t sure if it was
worth following up on? Or, have you been curious to learn how to develop
researchable questions? <a href="http://oregonstate.edu/cla/sociology/faculty/edwarmar/">Dr. Mark Edwards</a>,
OSU Sociology Professor, will lead a workshop to answer these and other
questions on Friday, May 28th, 10-noon, Willamette Rooms, OSU Libraries 3rd
Floor. Dr. Edwards teaches a research design course for public policy students,
and has taught research methods and social science research writing to
undergraduates for 15 years.</span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoPlainText"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Mark
describes the session like this: “I'd have in mind having all the participants
submit to me a week ahead of time a list of questions (vague, ill-defined,
etc.) that they want to try to work on, and then I'd offer a workshop for
helping one another develop those further, alerting people to the kinds of
mental moves we might make to turn our inquiries into researchable questions.”</span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoPlainText"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">As
we get closer to the date, I’ll send a reminder asking you to share questions
that I will pass on to him.</span></p>

this is a free workshop hosted by OSU Libraries, we ask you to <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZMVRK7T">register</a> so we know how many
