Taylor & Francis Interaction Ritual
Book SynopsisNot then, men and their moments. Rather, moment and their men, writes Erving Goffman in the introduction to his groundbreaking 1967 Interaction Ritual, a study of face-to-face interaction in natural settings, that class of events which occurs during co-presence and by virtue of co-presence. The ultimate behavioral materials are the glances, gestures, positionings, and verbal statements that people continuously feed into situations, whether intended or not.A sociology of occasions is here advocated. Social organization is the central theme, but what is organized is the co-mingling of persons and the temporary interactional enterprises that can arise therefrom. A normatively stabilized structure is at issue, a social gathering, but this is a shifting entity, necessarily evanescent, created by arrivals and killed by departures. The major section of the book is the essay Where the Action Is, drawing on Goffman's last major ethnographic project observation of Nevada casinTable of ContentsIntroduction, On Face-Work, The Nature of Deference and Demeanor, Embarrassment and Social Organization, Alienation from Interaction, Mental Symptoms and Public Order, Where the Action Is

Taylor & Francis Ltd Digitalization and Learning as a Worlding
Book SynopsisIn the face of a world in crisis, Digitalization and Learning as a Worlding Practice: Why Dialogue Matters examines the significance of digital technologies in human learning.The book explores how learning is not just an internalization of knowledge but a problem- oriented activity of engaging with the world, a process of both meaning making and world making. It raises a pivotal question: how can digital technologies help to expand and enrich learning as a collaborative worlding practice? It discusses the importance of digital artifacts in shaping students' learning experiences, discerning how they nourish meaningful engagement and where they pose a hindrance. The book also investigates the role of digitalization in transforming everyday life and learning activity of students, and how learners, teachers, and educators can approach these transformations critically and constructively. Based on an embodied, subject- and world- centered concept of learning, the book offers

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sex Ed on the Cards
Book SynopsisSex Ed on the Cards is a fun, factual and LGBTQ+ inclusive resource for delivering effective and engaging relationships and sex education (RSE) to students aged 14+. For too long this education has focused on dangers and risks, but young people have the right, need, desire and curiosity to see the bigger sex-ed picture.The Question, Debate and Challenge cards provide an opportunity to discuss real-life facts and scenarios, promoting discussion and developing confidence and understanding. With 3 modes of game play â conversation, collaboration and competition â the cards allow young people to explore their attitudes, beliefs and values around key topics including body image, consent, pleasure, porn, sexual orientation and gender identity. Sex Ed on the Cards brings critical thinking to the table, encouragingâ Live conversation The game helps diffuse any awkwardness in face-to-face exchanges about sex and relationships issues. It also acknowledges the benefits of digital literacy, signposting reliable online resources for teens Sexual literacy The game acknowledges digital nativesâ possible awareness of and in-depth exposure to a range of material and helps them interpret what they may already have seen Social action Made for a generation that cares deeply about equality, diversity and social justice, these cards introduce relevant modern concepts in a social-action context Created by Outspoken Sex Ed and illustrated by Sex Ed Matters â social enterprises passionate about honest conversation around sex and relationships â this card game is an invaluable resource to support relationships and sex education for students aged 14+.Intended for use in educational settings and/or therapy contexts under the supervision of an adult. This is not a toy.Trade ReviewAn innovative approach to facilitating debate and discussion between young people and adults, this resource tackles the key issues that young people face in a constructive, non-judgmental and light-hearted fashion. Young people want inclusive, sex-positive and holistic education, and the most effective approaches respect their rights and legitimacy as developing sexual citizens. These values are incorporated into the game, making it a must for adults interested in young people’s sexual wellbeing and development. Sex Ed on the Cards will help young people to critically reflect on different aspects of sex and relationships and to become aware of organisations that provide support. I can imagine that adults and young people alike will enjoy working through the game, with both having the potential to learn and develop their insights and perspectives. This collaborative approach will help adults ensure that relationships and sex education (RSE) resonates with young people and meaningfully impacts their lives.Dr Emily Setty Lecturer in Criminology, University of Surrey, and expert in young people’s digital sexual livesThis card game is fun, thought-provoking and refreshing! It will foster discussion and debate around sexual health topics relevant to today’s society in an inclusive and thoughtful way. Would strongly recommend Sex Ed on the Cards to enhance any relationships and sex education (RSE) curriculum.Dr Naomi Sutton Consultant Physician at the Integrated Sexual Health Services, The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust and TV doctor on E4’s The Sex ClinicA fun way for young people to explore their values, improve their language for, and importantly, their confidence in discussing sex and relationships. It is a properly LGBT-inclusive resource that will liven up learning about relationships in school or youth-work settings. The prompts will help "digital natives" to make sense of the images they have seen online and, by discussing porn, pleasure, consent, body image and sexual identity, to develop crucial life skills. Sex Ed on the Cards is a well-informed pack that signposts to appropriate resources for young people and flags the bravery of admitting to not knowing something.Professor Pam Alldred Professor of Children, Youth and Community in the Department of Social Work, Care and Community (SWCC), School of Social Sciences, Nottingham Trent UniversityThis useful and stimulating set of cards will bring the subject of sex and relationships into a clearer light and provoke lively, relevant discussion in PSHE (personal social health economic education) lessons. Outspoken Sex Ed is clearly doing an important job giving these crucial themes more accessibility to young teenagers. Students are often confused about issues such as consent and gender. This game will give them a safe opportunity to explore and discuss them further. I am looking forward to using Sex Ed on the Cards in the year 9 to 11 classes that I teach.Sharon Massey PSHE teacher, Fortismere School, LondonThis is a really enjoyable educational game. The extra information at the bottom of the cards is really useful to give an explanation about some of the answers rather than just saying which is correct like most standard class games. I think it’s really good that the number of players can vary so much – it allows for everyone to get involved. I learned a lot from playing Sex Ed on the Cards, especially with the Debate cards, which provide an excellent way to start talking openly about topics that would be hard to bring up in a regular conversation.Emily Harpham-Wells University of Birmingham student, age 18 Quality relationships and sex education (RSE) gives young people the building blocks and skills they need to navigate the sometimes challenging path to adulthood. Sex Ed on the Cards is a brilliant resource that reflects the modern challenges faced by young people, providing opportunities to discuss issues in a safe and supportive environment. The inclusion of LGBT+ identities and modern-day realities of HIV is fantastic to see and exactly the kind of information all young people should be getting in school.Liam Beattie Sex-education campaigner and commentatorTable of ContentsInstruction Cards: How to play Question Cards: Do you have the facts?

Taylor & Francis Understanding Autism and Autistic Functioning
Book SynopsisThis concise volume offers an accessible overview of recent clinical and research perspectives addressing autism and autistic functioning. By providing an innovative lens, the book benefits from two different angles: a concrete and pragmatical view of an expert clinician with three decades of practice in diagnosis and treatment of autism, and a more âœspeculativeâ and âœlong-termâ view of a researcher who works on neural and computational architecture of (a)typical neurocognitive functioning.Trying to understand autism beyond its behavioral symptoms, the book spans from clinical descriptions (e.g., communicating diagnosis, clinical intervention, and prognosis) to recent neuroscientific evidence supporting a potential perspective-shift. The fil rouge of this volume can be summarized in three fundamental aspects that should orient any clinical practice in the context of autism (e.g., diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, etc.): we need an age-dependent, context

Taylor & Francis Ltd Little Brains Matter
Book SynopsisThis accessible guide introduces neuroscience, demystifying terminology and language and increasing the knowledge, skills and, importantly, confidence of anyone interested in brain development in early childhood.Practical and reflective chapters highlight the multi-faceted role of adults as brain builders' and encourage the reader to consider how the environment, play and interactions are crucially interlinked. The book considers cutting-edge science and introduces this in an accessible way to look at a range of ways that adults can support children, exploring: how poverty, adversity, and social, emotional and mental health all influence the developing child the science behind play, and why it is so important for young children how we can take ideas from different disciplines such as psychology and anthropology and interweave these with the overarching research of neuroscience why adult interaction (both practitioner and parent/carer) with Trade Review"Debbie Garvey has produced an engaging and thought-provoking book that examines and demystifies a wealth of knowledge from research, helping early years practitioners to think carefully and critically about their work with young children. The book is remarkable, both for the clarity with which it explains complex theories and concepts, and the deftness with which the relevance of those theories and concepts to everyday practice is explored. Insights from neuroscience and early brain development are placed in a broader context, making links to ideas from early years pioneers, and to other academic fields such as anthropology. The case studies that pop up throughout the book […] serve to place these ideas directly into a range of practice contexts, drawing on and celebrating the work of practitioners […]. The book is presented as a journey through these ideas, and the reader is encouraged to journey actively alongside the author, stopping regularly to review the road travelled and to reflect meaningfully on lessons learned and insights gained." – Dr. Yinka Olusoga, Lecturer in Education at the University of Sheffield "What a treasure trove of learning! Not only does this book provide clean and clear reading material on the complexity of neuroscience, behaviour, psychology, and the role of the adult; each chapter is filled with practical examples, and moments of pause and reflection throughout. […] I was drawn in from the opening preface with the style of writing that simply and powerfully speaks to you. Generatively Debbie provides a wealth of signposting too, to other rich and informative resources that together with Little Brains Matter will aid any student, practitioner, lecturer, or person(s) exploring the importance of little brains and why they matter." – Dr. Julie A. Ovington AiMH, Senior Lecturer and Program Leader in Childhood and Society Studies, University of Sunderland "This book is essential for anyone working in early years. Debbie’s passion for the early childhood sector shines, and her research informed experience comes across clearly on every page. Neuroscience is a complex field to get to grips with, but Debbie makes each key area accessible, explaining the incredible nature of the human brain and outlining what is needed for healthy neurological development. The case studies are truly thought provoking and offer practical takeaways […]. Above all, Debbie succeeds in her aim to empower educators, and throughout the book runs the golden thread of valuing children, tuning into them, and learning from them. A fantastic read." – Sarah Watkins, Author, Presenter and University Lecturer "In Little Brains Matter Debbie’s generosity of spirit knows no bounds and her desire to share both her knowledge and her passion is palpable, not just through the accessibility of the jargon-free conversational style […] but in the immanently do-able ways in which sources are embedded into the very heart and soul of the text and not just listed dryly at chapter ends. ‘If you want to explore this more…’, Debbie incites, ‘go to …. I would urge you to explore it further’ […] This is as much a book about how to explore and read around a subject matter as it about the imparting of understanding. Although the latter it does a plenty." – Joanna Ainsworth, Early Years Montessori Researcher and Practitioner "As a foster carer we deal with all of these behaviours on a daily basis, but we often don’t have any knowledge of the science behind it. It was amazing to read some of what I already know to be but didn’t have a name for. Anyone working in child development would greatly benefit from reading this book, which raises as many questions as it answers on a never-ending but fascinating topic." – C. E. A.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Visual Marketing
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive volume aims to further research and theory development in visual marketing. By bringing together leading researchers in the field, it strives to contribute to the establishment of visual marketing as a coherent discipline. The chapters represent an array of issues in visual marketing. They address three areas in theory: attention and perception, visual cognition and action and choice. The chapters go beyond what is known, and offer in many cases a more speculative and visionary account of the directions that visual marketing research could and should take.Rather than being confined to advertising only, this new volume shows how visual marketing permeates almost all consumer and marketing activities. It will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students in marketing, management, industrial design, and consumer and social psychology. Professional practitioners, especially those involved with marketing communications, retail, and in store marTrade Review"Although vision is perhaps the primary human sensory modality, vision research is perhaps the most advanced of research on sensory systems, and marketers provide a multitude of visual information to consumers via ads, packaging, and other media, ironically we know relatively little about how visual information affects consumers. This volume takes a large step toward addressing that lack of knowledge by providing both conceptual approaches and applications that point the way toward developing a science of visual marketing. This is an important contribution that should stimulate thinking and research in this crucial domain." - Jim Bettman, Duke University, Fuqua School of Business, USA"Wedel and Pieters, two prominent applied researchers in their own right, have assembled a diverse group of world-class contributors to the emerging synergistic field of Visual Marketing. This volume constitutes a major new landmark for guiding future investigations at the interface between basic applied research in Vision Science, Cognitive Psychology and Social Economic Behavior. Readers will find a powerful synthesis of detailed empirical data and sophisticated theoretical modeling about how analyses of human eye movements, visual search, selective attention, scene perception, reading, memory, judgment, motivation and decision making may help optimize the design of pictorial and print advertisements, product packages, shelf displays, shopping environments, and other principal aspects of the commercial market place." - David E.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Book SynopsisNeurodiversity in the Workplace presents a timely and needed perspective on the role and responsibility of employers and those working to increase the effectiveness of workplace practices to examine the many ways we preclude large segments of the population from employment; minimizing opportunities for building a truly inclusive work environment.This collection provides an opportunity to look at how discrimination can occur across the employment process and what can be done to minimize the exclusionary practices that prevent neurodiverse individuals from getting into the workplace, advancing, thriving, and contributing as each of us desires to do. With expertise from leading professionals, this book provides a holistic look at the application of leadership theories in a neurodiverse context and how the workplace can be adapted to accommodate for neurodiverse employees. This book also explores effective recruitment strategies by looking into applicant screening as welTrade Review"This collection of chapters does what no other publication to date can claim: it integrates thoughtful and useful ideas and evidence on the incredibly important topic of neurodiversity. I'm so excited to see how this volume pushes the science and practice of I-O psychology forward!"Eden King, Ph.D. Rice University, Lynette S. Autrey Professor of PsychologyCo-Editor, Journal of Business and Psychology, Magister, Duncan College"Susanne Bruyère and Adrienne Colella pose some challenging and thought-provoking questions to HR Professionals on creating an inclusive Neurodiverse Workforce."Neil Barnett, Director of Inclusive Hiring People with Disabilities, Microsoft"This book is must read for organisations looking not only to establish a neurodiversity program, but sustain one. The book starts to discuss some of the more complex issues to sustain meaningful employment such mental health, performance and career management. DXC technology has been running a neurodiverse program since 2014, we wish we had this knowledge outlined in this book before we started!"Michael Fieldhouse, DXC Social Impact Practice Leader & Dandelion Program Executive"Inclusive environments are the key for unlocking the power of human potential. This book provides a powerful perspective of how research around neurodiversity translates in the application to a work setting, and that ultimately creates exponential value for individuals, communities and business. The multifaceted approach the authors lay out, help us move from ideation to implementation. This is exactly what is needed for employers at the intersection of talent, diversity and to thrive in the future of work." Hiren C. Shukla, Global Neuro-Diverse Center of Excellence Leader, Executive Management, Ernst & Young LLP"This volume provides a timely and critical contribution to the Organizational Frontiers Series. It explores diversity and inclusion within workplace from a perspective often overlooked in our field – i.e., neurodiversity. The authors in this volume explore the challenges and opportunities involved in hiring and valuing an often talented but ignored segment of our population, applicants and employees whose behavior patterns and ways of seeing the world might deviate from more typical employees. Given increasing labor shortages, organizations face an increasing need to identify, select and promote employees who can contribute to their success, and as this volume shows, ways of effectively identifying neurodiverse applicants and employees who can make these contributions. The volume explores ways to maximize the integration and success of these workers by providing a work environment conducive to the success, sustainability and continued health of organizations and their members. In sum, this volume explores ways of enhancing an overlooked aspect of diversity by identifying creative practices that can also improve the quality of worklife for ALL organizational members."Jeanette N Cleveland, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Colorado State University "Professors Colella and Bruyere have edited a timely and insightful book that explains what neurodiversity is and the employment law context around it. The various chapters of the book cover the entire employment process from an applicant’s dilemma to disclose their neurodiversity to recruiting and selection, workplace accommodations, leadership, organizational diversity climate, performance management, well-being, and the overall experience of neurodiverse employees at work. This book answers many important and timely questions about neurodiversity at work, and it is helpful reading for anyone who wants to be an effective and inclusive coworker, supervisor, or leader in today’s workforce."María del Carmen Triana, Ph.D., Professor and Cal Turner Chair in Moral Leadership at Vanderbilt University"In the ground-breaking book Neurodiversity in the Workplace, authors from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines engage readers in discussing topics relevant to effectively managing organizations comprised of people with widely varying neurological functions. Readers will learn about the meaning and contested labeling of neurodiversity, the challenges and opportunities associated with workforce neurodiversity, as well as the many legal and social issues that neurodiversity poses for employers and employees alike. By including reviews of cutting-edge research and informative examples of supportive employment practices, Bruyére and Colella have produced a resource that is sure to promote more equitable workplace practices and stimulate new research aimed at understanding and improving the experiences of neurodivergent employees."

Taylor & Francis Maternal Encounters
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2009 Feminist & Women''s Studies Association (UK & Ireland) Book Award!Many women find mothering a shocking experience in terms of the extremity of feelings it provokes, and the profound changes it seems to prompt in identity, relationship and sense of self. However, although motherhood can catapult us into a state of internal disarray, it can also provide us with a unique chance to make ourselves anew. How then do we understand this radical potential for transformation within maternal experience? In Maternal Encounters, Lisa Baraitser takes up this question through the analysis of a series of maternal anecdotes, charting key destabilizing moments in the life of just one mother, and using these to discuss many questions that have remained resistant to theoretical analysis the possibility for a specific feminine-maternal subjectivity, relationality and reciprocity, ethics and otherness.Working across contemporary phTrade Review"A welcome addition to the Women and Psychology Series of books. ... It can be used to both teach and prompt discussions about motherhood across multiple disciplines." - Sue Child, University of Exeter, UK, in Sociology"This is an extremely unusual, subtle and important book. Lisa Baraitser produces a demanding and timely theoretical argument that presents maternity as a site for the construction of subjectivity and for the development of a new understanding of the ethics of relationality. She draws together an array of contemporary feminist, philosophical and psychoanalytic theory, whilst maintaining an authorial voice that is intensely personal, lively, accessible, humorous and humane. Maternal Encounters is a remarkable achievement." - Stephen Frosh, Birkbeck College, University of London "This is a beautifully written text, demonstrating considerable skill. Lisa Baraitser has produced a book that speaks of a scholar who is a highly original thinker, with a capacity to simultaneously craft an engaging story alongside the deft handling of complex theory." - Dr Gail Lewis, Reader in Identities and Psycho-Social Studies, Open University"A welcome addition to the Women and Psychology Series of books. ... It can be used to both teach and prompt discussions about motherhood across multiple disciplines." - Sue Child, University of Exeter, UK, in Sociology"Maternal Encounters is a bold and beautiful book. ... Baraitser is able, a generation later, to go much further than (Adrienne) Rich in staking a strong claim for the ethical and political importance of the maternal to wider understandings of the human condition ... Baraitser brilliantly employs maternal anecdote in her writing, beginning each chapter with a rich descriptive account of maternal experience, and then further interrupting the ‘academic’ text throughout the chapter with more anecdotes. ... Baraitser’s skill as a writer is dazzling, and it is, in part, this skill that enables her to produce what is one of the most affective and insightful phenomenological accounts of the maternal ever written. ... Despite its theoretical sophistication, this book manages to be incredibly lucid. It flows and is easy to follow and read. ... There are not many academic books that move their readers to tears, make them gasp in recognition or laugh out loud; I guarantee that Maternal Encounters will move you in profound ways." - Imogen Tyler, Lancaster University, UK, in Subjectivity"This is an extremely unusual, subtle and important book.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Leadership and Liberation A Psychological Approach
Book SynopsisHow do leaders influence the people around them? Is leadership about having particular personality traits or is it about what leaders actually do and the types of relationships they build?This ground-breaking book looks at how to be an effective leader. It presents a model of leadership that has many practical implications for those who occupy formal leadership roles or who seek to influence events informally. This model views leadership as a collaborative, influence process rather than a hierarchical or authoritarian one.By looking at leadership in the context of liberation, it provides the reader with an alternative perspective, enabling them to think about their own aims and effectiveness as a leader. It analyses our understanding of oppressed and oppressor groups and how processes of mistreatment develop and become institutionalised. From this standpoint, effective leadership is presented as a means of confronting inequality and initiating positiveTrade Review"Leadership and Liberation is thoroughly engaging, with conceptual and methodological issues well integrated.
