This video, shot for undergraduate social science research methods students at the beginning of the semester, asks the question, "why bother with research methods?" The answer provided by this video (one of many possible answers) starts with Ed Yong's example of the Jakob von Uexkull's "umwelt" (surrounding world of perception) of different animals including humans, and turns to Martin Heidegger's ideas of Vorhandenheit and Zuhandenheit. The gist of the insight is that what we immediately see and understand around us is incredibly limited by our place, our sensory abilities, and the tools we have at hand. To learn research methods is to work to move beyond those limitations to see and understand different parts of the world that we may never have seen before, or may not have seen in the same way. Recorded for the social science program at the University of Maine at Augusta.
