Title: A methodologically & ethically flawed work
Product review: Cathy Small's university should have farmed out the IRB review of this project to another univesity. NAU set aside basic standards of ethical research to gain private information that should not have been made public. If Small is so proud of this work she should hold a public press conference where all (not just a select few) of the students she lived around are given a chance to respond to what she did without the defensive censoring and editing of these reactions by her and her university administrators.There is no legitimate scientific reason for publishing this book under a pseudonym, and Cornell University Press's decission to do this seriously damages its reputation. Good academic research is done in the open, not hidden in ways that invite [...] and exageration.
