Empirical Inquiry

        Analyze and critique Brian Knudsen's research. Then propose a better way it could be done. Question to Answer: -What did they count? -Why did they count it (e.g., what’s the big issue in the world and what’s the gap in the scholarly literature)? -How did they count it (e.g., independent, dependent, and control variables)? -What is at stake in counting it at all and in counting it in the way they did? -What did they hypothesize would result from counting things in this way? -What did in fact result (i.e., were their hypotheses verified or falsified)? -What are the insights that can be drawn from counting these things in this way? -What are the limitations of counting these things in this way? -Were they addressed and/or how might they be addressed? What are future directions for future counting projects? - How might resources from critical theory and/or ethnography deepen their project as it stands? -How might critical theory and/or ethnography projects precede or follow their project?
