Taylor & Francis Research and Social Change
Book SynopsisThis book bridges scholarly forms of inquiry and practitionersâ daily activities. It introduces inquiry as a process of relational construction, offering resources to practitioners who want to reflect on how their work generates practical effects. There are hundreds of books on research, but in keeping with social scientific traditions, many emphasize method and neglect broader, overarching assumptions and interests. Further, most are written in ways that speak to those in the academic community and not to a wider audience of professionals and practitioners. The present text lays out relational constructionist premises and explores these in terms of their generative possibilities both for inquiry and social change work. It is applicable for professionals in the fields of social services, education, organizational consulting, community work, public policy, and healthcare. Using accessible language and extensive use of case examples, this book will help reflective practitionersTable of Contents1. Inquiry Possibilities 2. Meta-Theories and Discourses of Construction 3. Our Community: Relational Constructionism 4. Inquiry as Engaged Unfolding 5. Transforming Inquiries: Enlarging Possible Worlds 6. Valuing and E/valuation 7. Quality: Reflexivity, Dialogue and Relational Aesth-et(h)ics or So what?

Taylor & Francis Making Sense of Field Research
Book SynopsisLearn how to use field research to bring essential people-centred insights to your information design projects.Information design is recognized as the practice of making complex data and information understandable for a particular audience, but whatâs often overlooked is the importance of understanding the audience themselves during the information design process. Rather than rely on intuition or assumptions, information designers need evidence gathered from real people about how they think, feel, and behave in order to inform the design of effective solutions. To do this, they need field research.If youâre unsure about field research and how it might fit into a project, this book is for you. This text presents practical, easy-to-follow instructions for planning, designing, and conducting a field study, as well as guidance for making sense of field data and translating findings into action. The selection of established methods and techniques, drawn from social sciences, anthropology, and participatory design, is geared specifically toward information design problems. Over 80 illustrations and five real-world case studies bring key principles and methods of field research to life.Whether you are designing a family of icons or a large-scale signage system, an instruction manual or an interactive data visualization, this book will guide you through the necessary steps to ensure you are meeting peopleâs needs.Table of ContentsFigures Tables Preface Acknowledgements PART I: Two Practices, One Journey What is information design?
