回想一下你现在的研究轨迹是什么时候开始的。你是如何开始的，在哪里？你是如何确定你的研究问题，你的目标受众和你的方法？有没有一种本能的因素？从那以后，你有没有重新审视过这些问题？虽然有全面的方法学初级读本可供社会法律研究人员使用，但没有一个提供阿曼达佩里-凯萨里斯在设计模式下进行社会法律研究中提出的内容。[1]相比之下，本书是对多年研究的一个可访问的综合，研究了"设计模式"可能为社会法律研究者提供的工具（概念和语言）和方法（第1页）。然而，作为律师和社会法律工作者，我们可能对这样的冒险方法有一种内在的厌恶。行为艺术、平面设计和模块化游戏对大多数学者来说并不自然。在绘制设计模式时，Perry-Kessaris展示了我们如何利用“设计师方式”的内在价值（第1页）。她的方法是合理的：经验为基础，理论上知情，方法论严谨，并根据她自己的研究和广泛的经验，应用这些技术和观察什么工作，以及什么不。因此，设计模式可以与其他学者、利益相关者和我们所写的社区建立沟通、协作的桥梁。它可以明智而敏感地做到这一点，避免在高级别利益相关者圆桌会议上生产一盒乐高玩具后可能产生的自然反感。熟悉佩里-凯萨里斯在国际经济法领域工作的读者将熟悉她的思想结构和清晰度，以及她仔细的定义和分类，并在设计模式中进行社会法律研究也不例外。在提出“社会法律研究者能够而且应该利用设计来提高他们理解和应对他们所面临的方法论挑战的能力”（第1页）时，第1章向我们介绍了设计领域所能提供的丰富的文化、传统和方法论。第二章将更全面地探讨设计的方式，即那些......是设计方法论的特征--也就是说，设计师是如何工作的，以及为什么工作。反过来，我们可能会想到，除其他外，A。Bryman，Social Research Methods（2021，第6版）; P. Alasutari et al，The SAGE Handbook of Research Methods（2008）.布莱曼的书的第三章阐述了“研究设计”的狭义概念，或“数据收集和分析的框架”。
Think back to when you were starting out on your current research trajectory. How did you begin, and where? How did you identify your research question, your target audience, and your methodology? Was there an element of gut instinct? And have you revisited these questions since? While there are comprehensive methodology primers available for socio-legal researchers, none offer what Amanda Perry-Kessaris sets out in Doing Sociolegal Research in Design Mode. 1 By contrast, this is an accessible synthesis of years of research into what tools (conceptual and linguistic) and methods' design mode'might offer socio-legal researchers (p. 1). 2 Nevertheless, as lawyerseven as socio-legal scholars-we may have an inbuilt aversion to risky approaches like this. Performance art, graphic design, and modular play do not come naturally to most academics. In mapping out design mode, Perry-Kessaris shows how we can harness the intrinsic value of'designerly ways'(p. 1). Her approach is sound: empirically grounded, theoretically informed, methodologically rigorous, and based on her own study and extensive experience of applying these techniques and observing what works, as well as what does not. Design mode, then, can build communicative, collaborative bridges with other academics, stakeholders, and the communities about which we write. It can do so sensibly and sensitively, avoiding the natural aversion that might follow the production of a box of Lego in a high-level stakeholder roundtable. Readers familiar with Perry-Kessaris' work in the field of international economic law will be familiar with her structure and clarity of thought, as well as her careful definitions and taxonomies, and Doing Sociolegal Research in Design Mode is no different. In presenting'the proposition that sociolegal researchers can and ought to draw on design to enhance their ability to understand and meet the methodological challenges they face'(p. 1), Chapter 1 introduces us to the richness of cultures, traditions, and methodologies that the field of design can offer. Designerly ways, explored more fully in Chapter 2, are those'mindsets, strategies, and processes that... are characteristic of design methodologies-that is, how designers work and why'(p. 1). In turn, 1 We might think of, inter alia, A. Bryman, Social Research Methods (2021, 6 th edn); P. Alasuutari et al, The SAGE Handbook of Research Methods (2008). Chapter 3 of Bryman's book sets out the narrower concept of'research designs', or the'framework for the collection and analysis of data'.
