The SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research in the Asian Context
Author: Safary Wa-Mbaleka
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1529785693
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 958
Book Description
Qualitative research is growing in Asia and globally. In an Asian context, this requires an awareness of a completely different set of norms, practices, and expectations than those covered by books from a western perspective. This handbook truly celebrates these differences. Spanning the full research process, from philosophy and ethics to design and methods and through data collection, management, analysis, and dissemination, it focuses specifically on the practicalities needed to conduct effective and culturally responsive research in the Asian context. This handbook extends beyond researchers actually in Asia and also speaks to researchers working with Asian participants, researching in Asian immigrant neighbourhoods, and studying the larger global topics like socioeconomic challenges, climate change, or technological advancement. This is the first book to focus specifically on qualitative research in the Asian context and includes diverse contributors from Asia such as the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, India, Oman, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Hong Kong, and from other continents such as North America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Oceania. Section 1: Foundations of Qualitative Research in Asia Section 2: Qualitative Research Designs Section 3: Best Practices in Dealing with Qualitative Research Data Section 4: Other Qualitative Research Topics

Book Description
It starts as a quiet rebellion stirring in your bones. No matter what age you are, if you are woman you know the demands placed upon you to be everything for everyone all the time.

The way to her is through the Wild Feminine, a fire that burns fierce in the hearts of all women. While constraints of everyday life may have dwindled that fire, it can never be fully extinguished. Unleash will take you on a journey within, where you will kick up the ashes and find the embers still glowing. In understanding how you have arrived in this place, the patterns that keep you here, and how to break free of them you will see that living life as a passionate and wild female is exactly how your younger self always dreamed you would live.

Taming EdTech
Author: Velislava Hillman
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350439827
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
As education becomes more dependent on data-intensive algorithmic systems, private corporate power continues to grow. Left unregulated, the implications for children's basic rights and future life chances are not to be underestimated. In this book, Velislava Hillman argues that datafication, i.e. turning all human actions into data, and surveillance have been normalised in eductional settings and shows how edtech products are not improving education equally for all children. She calls for a licensing regime which drives the edtech industry towards ethical practices and meeting appropriate standards before they are allowed to operate in schools. Looking beyond edtech's potentials, this book outlines a governance framework across socio-technical, ethical, critical pedagogic, and human rights imperatives for governing the digitisation of education.

Book Description
In a world where nothing is as it seems, Aleera finds herself hunted, not just by her mates, but by a past that comes back to haunt her. Her connection to the Fae is both her greatest strength and her deepest peril. And when the Fae governments learn what she is, Aleera finds herself running from more than just her mates, now she must hide from the world. Bound by fate to not just one mate but four, each as sinister as the other. Darius with his demonic allure; Tobias, whose vampiric charm that is as deadly as it is enticing; Lycus, as savage as his Were-Fae lineage; and Kalen, whose pure Dark-Fae essence is as fascinating as it is terrifying. Each man seeks to claim her, dominate her, pull her into their shadowy embrace. Their intentions, draped in malice, at first threatened to shackle her, but after the truth comes to light, they learn Aleera is not their enemy but their savior. Now they must race against time to save the woman they’ve all fallen madly in love with, the same woman they tried to break. But as they race against time to save her, they realize a fundamental truth: Aleera is precisely where she wants to be. She is done with hiding and now seeks out those that threaten her. She is no pawn in this deadly game of power and darkness. She's the ultimate queen of the night. As the lines between friend and foe blur, she is forced to confront truths that challenge everything she once knew. Aleera learns that sometimes, darkness is but a mere shadow cast by the brightest light. What if the difference between dark and light is just an illusion? And what if the vengeance she seeks is intertwined with a love she never imagined? As the fae authorities seek to restrain her, they'll quickly grasp a chilling truth: revenge is an icy blade, especially when wielded by a woman who has not just Tempted Darkness, but has also Tasted and masterfully Tamed it.

The Taming of New York's Washington Square
Author: Erich Goode
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 147987857X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
The surprising and unofficial system of social control and regulation that keeps crime rates low in New York City’s Washington Square Park Located in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Washington Square Park is a 9.75-acre public park that is perhaps best known for its historic Washington Square Arch, a landmark at the foot of 5th Avenue. Hundreds, if not thousands, pass through the park every day, some sit on benches enjoying the sunshine, play a game of chess, watch their children play in the playground, take their dog to the dog runs, or sit by the fountain or, sometimes, buy or sell drugs. The park has an extremely low crime rate. Sociologist, and local resident, Erich Goode wants to know why. He notes that many visitors do violate park rules and ordinances, even engaging in misdemeanors like cigarette and marijuana smoking, alcohol consumption, public urination, skateboarding and bike riding. And yet, he argues, contrary to the well-known “broken windows” theory, which suggests that small crimes left unchecked lead to major crimes, serious crimes hardly ever take place there. Why with such an immense volume of infractions—and people—are there so little felonious or serious, and virtually no violent, crime? With rich and detailed observations as well as in-depth interviews, Goode demonstrates how onlookers, bystanders, and witnesses—both denizens and your average casual park visitor—provide an effective system of social control, keeping more serious wrongdoing in check. Goode also profiles the parks visitors, showing us that the park is a major draw to residents and tourists alike. Visitors come from all over; only a quarter of the park’s visitors live in the neighborhood (the Village and SoHo), one out of ten are tourists, and one out of six are from upper Manhattan or the Bronx. Goode looks at the patterns of who visits the park, when they come, and, once in the park, where they go. Regardless of where they live, Goode argues, all of the Park’s visitors help keep the park safe and lively. The Taming of New York’s Washington Square is an engaging and entertaining look at a surprisingly safe space in the heart of Manhattan.

Human-Canine Collaboration in Care
Author: Fenella Eason
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000709493
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Adopting an anthrozoological perspective to study the participation of non-human animals in regimes of care, this book examines the use of canine scent detection to alert 'hypo-unaware' individuals to symptoms of human chronic illness. Based on ethnographic research and interviews, it focuses on the manner in which trained assistance dogs are able to use their sense of smell to alert human companions with Type 1 diabetes to imminent hypoglycaemic episodes, thus reducing the risk of collapse into unconsciousness, coma or, at worst, death. Through analyses of participant narrations of the everyday complexities of 'doing' diabetes with the assistance of medical alert dogs, the author sheds light on the way in which each human-canine dyad becomes acknowledged as a team of ‘one’ in society. Based on the concept of dogs as friends and work colleagues, as animate instruments and biomedical resources, the book raises conceptual questions surrounding the acceptable use of animals and their role within society. As such, this volume will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in human-animal interactions and intersections. It may also appeal to healthcare practitioners and individuals interested in innovative multispecies methods of managing chronic illness.
