Book SynopsisExploring the challenges and risks of social science fieldwork, this book shares best practice for conducting research in hostile environments and pragmatic advice to help you make good decisions. Drawing on the authors’ experiences in regions of conflict and grounded in real-world examples, the book: · Provides practical guidance on important considerations like choosing a research question in sensitive contexts · Gives advice on data and digital security to help you minimize fieldwork risk in a contemporary research environment · Offers tools and templates you can use to develop a tailored security framework Building your understanding of the challenges of on-the-ground research, this book empowers you to meet the challenges of your research landscape head on. Trade ReviewThis is a fantastic guide for anyone embarking on intensive fieldwork in any context. The advice given is nuanced, proportionate and measured, balancing the need to engage meaningfully in a place with protecting personal safety. It goes further to consider contemporary challenges in research engagement emanating from digital security and data protection. All research institutions need to engage with this book in their ethics and risk assessment procedures. -- Anna MdeeThis is a must-read book for researchers and their supervisors embarking on research projects where safety is a consideration. This important book fills a gap in our current knowledge on how safer research can be accomplished. It is full of interesting, relevant and timely case studies, and information on how to manage risk before, during and after the field work experience. Brilliant. -- Jen CouchHow do we ensure that research on controversial and sensitive topics does not endanger ourselves, our participants, and the communities within which we work? Anyone doing research or building the capacity of others to carry out research in repressive environments should consider the conceptual concerns and practical steps offered in this book. -- Michelle J. BellinoThis unique book provides a clear and practical path to establishing a comprehensive risk assessment plan for researchers involved in fieldwork. Based on the perspective of research safety, this book offers tools to mitigate risks for researchers and participants, especially in conflict prone areas. An excellent resource for faculty members involved in applied research, it provides useful tips to maximize security when looking for housing, seeking transportation routes, and developing a safety plan for the research team. It also provides useful examples of best practices on how to implement a safe research and data gathering experience, as well as how to assist researchers returning from hostile environments that have experienced trauma, and insightful recommendations on data and digital security. -- Irasema CoronadoThe book is very timely, given the increased challenges faced by researchers in different parts of the world. It is the only book that offers researchers practical advice that comes from firsthand experiences by experts on the subject. The well-thought out content is imperative for anyone conducting field research whether an academic, journalist, or practitioner. -- Rabab El-MahdiResearch is not only vital to scientific development, it is essential to improvement of the human condition. But social science research, particularly fieldwork, is not always well-understood, effortlessly accepted or without risk. The appropriate response to such challenges is not to give up fieldwork altogether but to undertake it with care, vigilance and respect for all those involved, from today’s research subjects to scholars of the future. This indispensable book is a masterful guide to responsible field research; it should be on the desk of all academics—from students to senior scholars—who conduct, or advise people who conduct, research away from their desks. -- Lisa AndersonAt last a definitive guide to the management of risks associated with conducting research. We have long understood the risks faced by some in the pursuit of knowledge; finally we have a document to help researchers stay safe in the field, and to deliver cutting edge results. -- George ShawResearch can be risky: more and more often, and not only in nondemocratic countries. This most precious book provides most valuable advice to social scientists about how to reduce those risks for all parts of their research projects. It is an invaluable resource for teaching young students how to conduct their field work in the safest possible way. -- Donatella Della PortaAfter-the-fact support for scholars under attack remains an urgent responsibility for everyone in higher education. But no less important are proactive strategies and practices to improve the security of researchers wherever their research takes them. By bringing valuable attention and structure to this much needed conversation, the authors make an important contribution to the future of research in challenging environments, whether a researcher is a few miles, or a few thousand miles, from home. -- Robert QuinnThis volume is an absolutely indispensable resource for any researcher setting out to embark on social science fieldwork, and for anyone reviewing or overseeing such work. Filling a glaring gap in disciplinary methods training, the authors provide clear steps, along with helpful tools, to anticipate - and mitigate - risks, posed both to the safety and security of researchers, but also to their research participants and interlocutors. As this volume makes clear, attention to shifting security environments not only emerges as an ethical imperative, but also a prerequisite for careful research design and sound data analysis. -- Milli LakeThis handbook offers crucial insights into how we can better think about and try to manage risks in our research endeavors. It is particularly useful as it goes beyond the one-sided focus on researcher safety and on fieldwork, emphasizing how risks extend far beyond fieldwork, particularly for research subjects and collaborators living in the research setting. By providing a range of concrete examples from various settings, the book provides invaluable insights, highlighting also how questions around safety and risk vary depending on context and also shift (sometimes rapidly) over time. -- Maria Eriksson BaazTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Before the Field Chapter 3: In the Field Chapter 4: After the Field Chapter 5: Thinking Systematically about Digital Security Chapter 6: Tools and Tactics for Data Protection Chapter 7: Conclusion: The Role of Research Institutions

Book SynopsisThe project of interpreting contemporary forms of punishment means exploring the social, political, economic, and historical conditions in the society in which those forms arise. The SAGE Handbook of Punishment and Society draws together this disparate and expansive field of punishment and society into one compelling new volume. Headed by two of the leading scholars in the field, Jonathan Simon and Richard Sparks have crafted a comprehensive and definitive resource that illuminates some of the key themes in this complex area - from historical and prospective issues to penal trends and related contributions through theory, literature and philosophy. Incorporating a stellar and international line-up of contributors the book addresses issues such as: capital punishment, the civilising process, gender, diversity, inequality, power, human rights and neoliberalism. This engaging, vibrantly written collection will be captivating reading for academics and researchers in criminology, penology, criminal justice, sociology, cultural studies, philosophy and politics.Trade Review ′Three virtues set this collection apart from the usual handbook enterprise. The first is the broad range of topics and settings covered by the volume. The second is the international all-star cast of authors who contribute substantial essays. The third is the concluding section of the handbook that pushes beyond the conventional boundaries of penality in important and interesting ways. Simon and Sparks have assembled an indispensable tool for serious study of punishment and society′ -- Franklin E. Zimring ′Simon and Sparks have brought together an eclectic array of notable scholars to explore the role of punishment in society. With a central concern on the prison as an institution of power and social control, the Handbook urges us to regard punishment, not as a correctional endeavour targeting deviant individuals, but in terms of its effects on the broader population and on governance. The Editors - who have themselves done much to shape the field - have succeeded in producing a volume written in a clear, erudite, yet pacey style throughout. The SAGE Handbook of Punishment and Society is hugely impressive in its range and sophistication and is a very welcome addition to the field′ -- Yvonne Jewkes′This is [an] engaging, well written book which will be useful to academics, policy makers, practitioners and those with a general interest in punishment and society. I don′t think that it is an exaggeration to describe it as a ′bible′ of punishment and society in that it collates and analyses past and present research, but also looks towards the future.

A foundational chapter presenting an account of these perspectives is then followed by topic-based chapters from the point of view of each perspective in turn, discussing commonalities and divergences across each of them.Key Features of the Third Edition:-Now includes coverage of the social neuroscience paradigm and research on implicit social cognition-Updated pedagogical features and visual material-An extended conclusion covers the ways in which the different approaches of the field intersect as well as a general discussion of the direction in which the field is moving.Social Cognition: An Integrated Introduction is an integrative, holistic textbook that will enhance the reader's understandinTrade Review′It’s very good news that Martha Augoustinos and her co-authors have brought out a new, revised edition of Social Cognition. It really is an excellent, broad-ranging book, whose clear discussion of differing approaches should appeal to undergraduates of psychology. But make no mistake: this new edition, just like the previous ones, is so much more than a textbook. It contains an important, underlying argument about the social nature of thinking.′ -- Michael Billig′This is a remarkably sophisticated and insightful examination of social cognitive, social identity, social representations, and discursive approaches to social psychological phenomena. The core principles of each perspective are clearly explained with an engaging style that is a pleasure to read, and deep insights into how humans come to understand their social world can be found on every page. As the authors remind us, social psychological ideas have the potential to change the world. This book is beautifully written, conveys the excitement and possibilities of the discipline, and is thought provoking throughout.′ -- Nyla R. Branscombe′This scholarly, broad-ranging and generous book remains the best introduction to the field of social cognition. It offers a truly ‘integrative’ approach, attempting to bring together work from a diverse range of traditions of social and cognitive psychology and into dialogue researchers who should talk to one another more, but so often don’t.′ -- John DixonTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Defining social psychology The crisis in social psychology Social cognition Aims of this book Organization of this book Concluding comments PART I Chapter 2: Theoretical Foundations Introduction to social cognition models Introduction to social identity theory Introduction to social representations theory Introduction to discursive psychology A post-cognitive psychology?

Book SynopsisAn Invitation to Cultural Psychologylooks at the everyday life worlds of human beings through the lens of a new synthetic perspective in cultural psychology that of semiotic dynamics. Based on historical work from many different fields in the social and behavioural sciences, and the humanities too, this perspective applied to cultural psychology suggests that human beings are constantly creating, maintaining and abandoning hierarchies of meanings within all cultural contexts they experience. It's a perspective that leans heavily on the work of the great French philosopher, Henri Bergson, only now being realised as a core basis for human cultural living. Jaan Valsiner is the founding editor of the major journal in the field, Culture & Psychology, and Editor of the Oxford Handbook of Culture and Psychology. He is the first Niels Bohr Professor of Cultural Psychology at Aalborg University in Denmark, where heTrade ReviewAn Invitation to Cultural Psychology is a fascinating and timely volume. It offers rich insights into the connections between personal subjective and social collective domains of human experience, demonstrating the importance of integrating these perspectives in cultural psychology for more nuanced approaches to the study of humans as individual and cultural actors. -- Susan RasmussenFrom one of the great minds of our time, a bold and original essay on the nature of culture, putting in perspective semiotics and cultural psychology. Professor Valsiner provides a new approach of signs in action and grounds it in the best intellectual tradition. Deep, but written in easy language, refreshingly humorous for such an ambitious scholarly work and illustrated with good metaphors, simple graphics and many empirical examples. -- Saadi LahlouThis book is in the best sense of the word an invitation to cultural psychology. Jaan Valsiner provides analyses and insights based on a sound review of historical works in the social and behavioural sciences both explaining the current state of cultural psychology and outlining its future developments. Meaning and the dynamic construction of meaning in culture set the frame and core topics of this book which is itself an excellent and in so many ways a meaningful contribution to the field. Its a compelling must-read for anyone interested in cultural psychology. -- Dieter FerringRather than review and expound on research conducted within the cultural psychology arena, Valsiner delves into the theoretical background and implications of culture in humans’ everyday lives. Utilizing various perspectives - e.g. psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, philosophy - the book is far from a traditional introductory resource on cultural psychology. The departure from mainstream psychology is evident from the first chapters, in which the author highlights the misadventures and missed opportunities of psychology to incorporate culture. Starting from the relatively simple notion that psyche and culture are mutually constituted, Valsiner explores the relationship through a variety of examples, such as signs, myths, art, place, objects, fashion, and so on. Although the book is at times dense with theory and philosophical explanations, Valsiner provides numerous examples from historical accounts and supplements theory with graphics to depict abstract concepts. Readers interested in the theoretical aspects of cultural psychology will find this book a useful guide. -- S. Reysen, Texas A&M University, CommerceThe book by Valsiner is much more than an explication of how cultural interpretation may be created and co-constructed in social contexts. It is a powerful work, theoretical and well-documented, founding a new direction, aimed at deepening our understanding of the cultural psychology of semiotic dynamics. -- Patrizia Meringolo, University of FlorenceTable of ContentsIntroduction: Why Cultural Psychology?

Book SynopsisAt no point in recorded history has there been an absence of intense, and heated, discussion about the subject of how to conduct relations between women and men. This Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to these omnipresent issues and debates, mapping the present and future of thinking about feminist theory. The chapters gathered here present the state of the art in scholarship in the field, covering: Epistemology and marginality Literary, visual and cultural representations Sexuality Macro and microeconomics of gender Conflict and peace. The most important consensus in this volume is that a central organizing tenet of feminism is its willingness to examine the ways in which gender and relations between women and men have been (and are) organized. The authors bring a shared commitment to the critical appraisal of gender relations, as well as a recognition that to think theoreTrade ReviewBoth the vibrancy and value of contemporary feminist theory are on display in this finely edited Handbook. Wide-ranging, innovative, and critically astute, the volume will be essential reading for those already attuned to feminist theory and to those finding their way in its debates for the first time. -- Professor Robyn WiegmanSustained by solid, interdisciplinary, feminist scholarship and cutting edge research, this Handbook takes its readers on an exciting journey through vast landscapes of feminist theorizing, covering an impressive number of issues from epistemologies and methodologies to key questions in feminist cultural studies, social sciences, economics and politics. A must for students and scholars who want an overview. -- Professor Nina Lykke...this important addition to ongoing conversations in gender studies and feminist activism is methodologically and politically diverse. ...the collection is also rigorous and focused. Indeed, one of the volume’s major contributions is the implicit and explicit insistence of nearly all of its contributors that even as readers become acquainted with what is now a well-established, if multifaceted, field—"feminist theory"—these same readers remain aware of the contradictions and tensions inherent in feminism as theory and feminism as lived experience. ...as an overview of feminist theory and public engagement, the book is a necessary read.
