Integrative Capstone
Formulate a sociological question about an organization, market, community or policy. Build a theory and literature map; operationalize the core constructs; collect or curate qualitative and quantitative evidence; document sampling and ethics; code qualitative data transparently and analyze quantitative patterns; confront causal limits and alternative mechanisms; compare groups, institutions or time periods; then produce a research memo plus a public-facing data story or organizational recommendation.
Evidence Standard
- Theory-evidence alignment
- construct validity
- ethical sampling
- transparent qualitative coding
- reproducible quantitative analysis
- careful subgroup definitions
- causal humility
- explicit alternative mechanisms
- context-aware interpretation of inequality and institutions
- mixed-method triangulation
- and clear communication without unsupported generalization. RELEASE QUALITY STANDARD: long-form academic instruction, reproducible evidence, explicit limitations and a capstone artifact that can be inspected - not just claimed
