Taylor & Francis Ltd Using Postmodern and Poststructural Approaches in
Book SynopsisUsing Postmodern and Poststructural Approaches in Applied Research introduces the complex theoretical approaches of postmodern and poststructural thought in ways that are accessible and understandable.The book begins by grounding our discussion with the foundational work of scholars who first wrote about postmodern and poststructural approaches. We then follow with examples of how scholars continue to use these approaches and theories today and apply them in different practice areas. Examples are provided from the author's own research, teaching, and mentorship along with activities for the reader, to support them with their own research and application of postmodern and poststructural thought. Interviews and reflections are shared from students and researchers who have used postmodern and poststructural approaches in their own work.This book is for students and researchers who want to use postmodern and poststructural approaches to make a difference in practiceTrade Review"This book provides a much needed and accessible guide that introduces poststructural and postmodern ideas and demonstrates how they can be used in research studies. Written by two experts in the field and with a clear practical focus this book will be a valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners in health and social care enabling them to design and undertake research using poststructural and postmodern ideas and ensure their findings make a difference in practice." -- Dr. Sue Peckover, PhD RN"Aston's and Cheek's book is leading the way for researchers using qualitative critical theories. I am excited to add this book to my library and to see the combining of poststructural approaches with Queer theory and other theories. This book will have an impact on the practical application of postmodern concepts and contribute to social justice actions that are needed in research and practice." -- Dr. Phillip Joy, Applied Human Nutrition, Mount Saint Vincent University, Canada"As a nursing scholar and educator, I am so excited to see this updated version of a book that has been an important resource for me throughout my career. This new version will support much needed dialogue about relations of power and challenging the status quo in nursing research and practice. The examples and suggestions make this a practical resource for those wanting to apply postmodern and poststructural thinking to their work. This is a must read for health and social care students, faculty, and providers engaged in critical research and practices that aim to transform historically and socially constructed systems and structures." -- Dr. Danielle Macdonald, School of Nursing, Queen’s University"This book provides a much needed and accessible guide that introduces poststructural and postmodern ideas and demonstrates how they can be used in research studies.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Advancing Grounded Theory with Mixed Methods
Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking book introduces an innovative new perspective on mixed method grounded theory methodology (MM-GTM) by conceptualizing it holistically as a distinct, qualitatively driven methodology that appreciates the integrity of each of the methods it embraces. This practical and accessible text advocates for using MM-GTM in a way that promote meaningful interaction between qualitative and quantitative data during analysis. Its principal contribution is to provide a set of research tools to develop or refine a multi-faceted analytical framework in applied fields in the social and behavioral sciences, including nursing. Used as either a resource or a textbook in a survey course about research methods, the text references dozens of examples about how a dialectical exchange between different sources of data can be built into core grounded theory procedures, including theoretical sampling, coding, case-based memoing, and integrated visual displays. With a whole chapter devTrade ReviewWhile some grounded theorists have claimed for years that the Grounded Theory Methodology is inherently a form of Mixed-Methods Research, most have persisted in qualitative studies. Elizabeth Creamer sets out a systematic approach for making Mixed Methods Grounded Theory. In doing so, she has opened the door for the development of insightful theories that are grounded in a richer variety of data sources. - Gregory Hadley, Ph.D., Professor of Sociolinguistics and Western Cultural Studies, Niigata UniversityCreamer demonstrates both unique contributions of and parallels between mixed methods and grounded theory, prompting multiple fresh ideas on how to link theory with MM throughout a project. Especially valuable are her contributions on case-based and visual strategies, her attention to the possibilities offered by exploring methodological dissonance, and the variety of examples and exemplars she draws on. This will be a valuable resource for people from across a wide spectrum of experience and disciplines. - Dr. Patricia Bazeley, Author of Qualitative Data Analysis and Founding Member and Past President of the Mixed Methods International Research AssociationWhile some grounded theorists have claimed for years that the Grounded Theory Methodology is inherently a form of Mixed-Methods Research, most have persisted in qualitative studies.

Herinsights throughout underscore her status as a veteran research methodologist...Creamer offers a significant contribution to both MM-GTM and MMR by addressing methodological issues that, up to now, have remained largely unrealized in GTM. - Gregory Hadley, Ph.D., Professor of Sociolinguistics and Western Cultural Studies, Niigata UniversityTable of Contents Chapter 1: Establishing language and purpose; Chapter 2: Varied approaches to using mixed methods with theoretical frameworks; Chapter 3: Mixed methods and the process of theorizing; Chapter 4: Advancing theoretical reasoning with visualizations; Chapter 5: Leveraging dissonance to advance theoretical reasoning; Chapter 6: Highlighting quality through reporting
