Sommario/riassunto

This book provides introductory materials on research methods and report writing that aim at guiding students and researchers towards effective research and reporting of their findings. Unlike the many volumes on research that are mostly theoretical, this book originated in the classroom and grew out of the students' own needs to design and conduct satisfactory research in order to meet academic requirements. It is also designed to help experienced researchers in their research ventures. In fulfilling this purpose, the author uses simple, straightforward language. He also provides appropriate examples and illustrations to enable the reader to grasp the basic concepts of research. The book will prove a useful guide for students and researchers in social sciences and humanities who wish to transform research theory into real and feasible research projects.

Sommario/riassunto

Pandemic and social crisis are the two phenomena that provide the context in which this book emerges. The work of the social sciences in this context is more relevant and challenging than ever, because it is clear that in the crisis —from the pandemic in Chile—, economic, social and political-institutional crises converge, which made its analysis and overcoming strategies much more complex, considering the need and urgency of an epochal change.
In these convulsive times, from the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Chile, we set out to gather investigations from different disciplines and intersections of knowledge to contribute to the understanding of this particular historical moment and its repercussions in Chilean society in order to thereby contribute to improving the lives of the people affected by this crisis from various spheres and dimensions.

Pandemia y crisis social son los dos fenómenos que proporcionan el contexto en el cual emerge el libro que el/a lector/a tiene en sus manos. El quehacer de las ciencias sociales en este contexto, es más relevante y desafiante que nunca, porque es claro que en la crisis —a partir de la pandemia en Chile—, confluyen crisis económicas, sociales y político-institucionales, lo cual torna mucho más complejo el análisis y las estrategias de superación, que consideren la necesidad y urgencia de un cambio epocal.



En estos tiempos convulsos, desde la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Chile, nos propusimos reunir las investigaciones que desde distintas disciplinas y cruces de saber buscan contribuir a la comprensión de este particular momento histórico y sus repercusiones en la sociedad chilena a fin de contribuir con ello a mejorar desde diversos ámbitos y dimensiones la vida de las personas afectadas por estas crisis.
