Taylor & Francis Geographical Fieldwork in the 21st Century
Book SynopsisFieldwork is a hallmark of geographical scholarship, encompassing all the approaches by which we learn first-hand about the world. Too often, though, fieldwork detailsâthe challenges, the failures, and methodological mash-up usedâare left out of geographersâ published work. This accessible collection brings together 18 of those too-often overlooked stories, and reveals the ongoing vibrancy of geographical fieldwork today. The 32 authors span many of geographyâs subfields, and their work incorporates multiple methodological traditions: ethnographic, digital, archival, mixed, and more. With short, readable contributions, Geographical Fieldwork in the 21st Century offers an ideal resource for students across the social sciences who are wrangling with the process of fieldwork. It shows fieldworkâs core attributesâinnovation, commitment, and serendipityâare alive and well. But this collection also illustrates just how fieldwork is changing as our ability to learn aboTable of ContentsIntroduction: Fieldwork in the 21ST CenturyKendra McSweeney and Antoinette WinklerPrins1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cases and Stories of Transformative Action
Book SynopsisCases and Stories of Transformative Action Research builds on its companion book, Principles and Methods of Transformative Action Research, by describing and analyzing dozens of examples of successful action research efforts pursued in the past five decades by students and faculty of the Western Institute for Social Research. Some projects are large-scale, and some are modest interventions in the everyday lives of those participating. Some are formal organizational efforts; others are the results of individual or small group initiatives. Included are chapters on community needs assessments and innovative grassroots approaches to program evaluation; the challenges of improving our decision-making during the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic; strategies of intellectual activism in addressing the growing problem of workplace bullying; action research to preserve and share the history of the Omaha tribe; and plans for an innovative school-based project based on collTrade Review"Building on a wide range of great thinkers --Thomas Kuhn on scientific creativity, Paulo Freire on learner-centered education, and John Dewey on learning--Bilorusky, the founder of the Western Institute for Social Research, lays out steps through which one can do transformative action research. Engaging communities of learning, his Institute has mentored highly innovative research on such issues as restoring Omaha Culture, ending workplace bullying, and teaching physics. The volume opens the door to an exciting approach to learning, collaboration and bettering the world." -- Arlie Hochschild, Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right, a finalist for the National Book Award in 2016."Building on Volume I, this book dives deeper into WISR’s method of collaborative inquiry through illustrative case studies in which Dr. Bilorusky and his colleagues demonstrate how they have applied the principles of transformative, participatory action research in community organizations, community-based think tanks, needs assessments and other settings. Volume II will prove helpful for practitioners and students seeking to understand how democratic community knowledge-building takes shape in learner-centered approaches to learning." -- Joyce. E. King, Benjamin E. Mays Endowed Chair for Urban Teaching, Learning & Leadership, College of Education & Human Development, Georgia State University, USA. Past-President, The American Educational Research Association"This exciting volume shows how teachers, undergraduate students, graduate students, and community members have collaborated and employed action research to promote social transformation. Connecting theory, methodology, and methods, these case studies provide instructive and inspiring examples of how multicultural academic scholarship, when crafted by students and learning groups, promotes social justice that benefits world-majority communities. Berkeley's Western Institute for Social Research is one of the few degree-granting, long-distance learning laboratories that teaches students around the world how to do action research for transformative justice. Students' skills and enthusiasm for collaborative inquiry will move readers to become more involved in multicultural community change." -- T. D.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Communication Activism Research for Social
Book SynopsisCommunication scholars have taken seriously the call for engaged scholarship, and this book examines the principles, practices, and outcomes of communication activism research for social justice.Communication activism research differs from other engaged communication scholarship through researchers promoting social justice, intervening collaboratively, and creating or assisting established collective actors that represent marginalized communities. Collective actors examined in this book include Black Lives Matter, the feminist movement, and LGBTQ+ groups. This book provides practical guidance on how to perform communication activism research, offering recommendations for managing its challenges and discussing qualitative and quantitative methods for evaluating research interventions focusing on significant contemporary issues.This book will appeal to scholars who study and teach communication and social justice activism as well as scholars from disciplines such as sociTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary Social Problems in the UK
Book SynopsisSocial problems are endemic to all societies. The UK is no exception and is grappling with a plethora of issues including poverty, family breakdown, domestic violence, teenage pregnancy, child abuse and neglect, youth offending, alcohol and drug misuse, mental health issues, homelessness, and ethnic and religious discrimination. These problems have huge implications for the individual, the family unit and society at large and take their toll on health, wellbeing, and community resources. They place an enormous amount of strain on government finances and the welfare state, and add to the burden on social institutions, such as the National Health Service and the social work and criminal justice systems. Contemporary Social Problems in the UK explores a wide range of social problems in the UK. Each social problem has been explored using a range of psychosocial theories to generate an understanding of various causal factors and to examine the linkages between differTrade Review"It is essential that as the World moves through the various phases of the COVID-19 pandemic that we do not lose sight of the intransigent problems that plague modern society. Contemporary Social Problems in the UK returns our attention to many of the issues that intersect communities with traumatic consequences. In this exciting new book, Dr Stanley has brought together several respected academics and practitioners who draw our attention to the theories, models and research that underpin debates concerning social problems. It also highlights the way these issues transcend political and administrative boundaries across health, social care, social security, housing, employment, and criminal justice. Contemporary Social Problems in the UK provides essential reading for students and practitioners involved in social care, health, and criminal justice. As well as providing examples of ‘real world’ applications for students of Sociology, Psychology, and behavioural sciences." Tony Gilbert, Associate Professor in the School of Health Professions, University of Plymouth, UK"This text approaches a range of contemporary social issues and considers these within a number of frameworks where their differing manifestations are articulated, debated and contextualised against the backdrop of extant theoretical approaches and practice-based interventions. The text will be of value to both students and professionals across a range of disciplines." Steve J. Hothersall, Head of Social Work, Mental Health and Learning Disability Education and Practice, Edge Hill University, UK"Social Problems in the UK are of growing concern not only for academics, policy makers and social practitioners but also the general population. This new edited book from Selwyn Stanley takes the reader through contemporary social issues and illustrates a range of debates and theoretical concepts. For the social sciences this is a must read for students of all levels, academics, and researchers."Martin Partridge, Senior Lecturer and Programme Lead for BA Social Care and Health, University of Wolverhampton, UK"This book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary social problems in areas that can often be overlooked in compact curricula, for example, substance misuse and homelessness. As such, this book is useful for modules in undergraduate and post graduate studies that explore sociology, criminology, applied social work practice and contemporary society. A useful text for the student on a range of important topics." Karen D. Roscoe, Assistant Professor in Social Work, Coventry University, UK"A vital new text outlining a broad range of overlapping social problems in contemporary UK society. This will be an incredibly useful text across the wide range of social policy professions, in education, health, social work and youth work; for social science students, as well as the general reader"Richard Twine, Senior Lecturer in Social Sciences, Edge Hill University, UKTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Classic Writings for a Phenomenology of Practice
Book SynopsisClassic Writings for a Phenomenology of Practice features examples of newly translated classic phenomenological texts that have been largely forgotten or misunderstood. The writings are unique in that they speak to the practice of doing phenomenological research for the purpose of gaining insights and better understandings regarding aspects of professional practice and ordinary life phenomena and events.Phenomenology does not have to be impenetrable philosophy, dealing with tedious technical issues. Instead, phenomenology may offer relevance, value, and enduring allure to readers and researchers who are engaged with the quotidian life experiences and events of students, patients, clients, friends, and other individuals. This phenomenological approach aims to stay as close as possible to the ordinary events of everyday life: seeing the first smile of a child, feeling compulsive, being humorous, having a conversation, experiencing childhood secrecy, encountering nTable of Contents1.DOING PHENOMENOLOGY 2.
