Meta Reviews & Theory
Well over 1,000 peer-reviewed Amish-focused studies have been published since 1942. Such quantity presents problems for researchers trying to situate their own work, including risk of replicating existing work, neglecting research gaps, overlooking relevant studies, and uncritically framing Amish following a narrow set of studies. Addressing these challenges, Dr. Anderson has produced a series of topic-specific meta-analyses and theoretical debates about the Amish.
This work orients researchers and students to sub-topics—e.g., language, education, and popular representations. It also empirically interrogates
theories and scholarly patterns of knowledge production.
Project: Reviews by Topic
These topic-specific meta-analyses and theoretical discussions orient readers to topical sub-areas about the Amish. Not just for scholars, many of these summaries are excellent readings for university students and service providers.
