Researching ourselves and changing society: social surveys in twentieth-century Australia

在二十世纪，一系列以第一人称采访和基于证据的建议为特色的社会调查为澳大利亚人提供了一种关于自己的新形式的知识。该项目对这些调查的原始数据进行了创新性的阅读，包括采访记录、观察和问卷调查，将重新检查作为研究参与者和受试者的普通澳大利亚人对这些社会科学方法的接受程度。通过这样做，该项目促进了社会研究对专业知识、社会阶层和国家的转变的知识，探索了研究如何在实地展开，并将澳大利亚的研究实践置于全球社会科学发展的背景下。

In the twentieth century, a series of social surveys distinguished by their first-person interviews and evidence-based recommendations offered Australians a new form of knowledge about themselves. This project's innovative reading of the raw data of these surveys, which includes interview transcripts, observations and questionnaires, will examine anew the reception of these social scientific methods among ordinary Australians who acted as research participants and subjects. In doing so, this project advances knowledge of social research's transformation of expertise, social class and the state exploring how research unfolded on the ground, and placing Australian research practices in the context of the global development of social science.
