Backstage with TSP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This week we turned our focus to writing and will discuss the first chapter of Becker’s classic Writing for Social Scientists. <\/a><\/em> It’s an excellent book and the first chapter got me thinking about vulnerability and shame in the writing process. Becker does a great job of articulating that part of what makes writing so difficult is that we have to be vulnerable. When we write we are putting ourselves out there. We worry about getting it right at TSP. We worry that maybe we aren\u2019t quite capturing what the author meant by that phrase, or maybe we don\u2019t really understand the complex statistical technique used in that exciting new article, so maybe we shouldn\u2019t write about it for the site. But we do anyway, in part, because we have the advantage of being really close to why writing in spite of fear matters. We hope our writing helps bring social scientific findings to a a public that would otherwise not have access to them. Having such a lofty vision means that the stakes can feel really high at times but it also helps motivate us to work together to get words on the (digital) page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
