While there are many English books available on academic research
methods and philosophy, many complain that they are difficult for
budding, non-native English-speaking researchers to use and
understand. Rather than hiding behind jargon, writers should
describe and define the concepts for the benefit of non-native
English speakers. Social Research Methodology and Publishing
Results: A Guide to Non-Native English Speakers explains methods
commonly used in the field of academic research, provides stimulus
to non-native English-speaking researchers for successful
implementation of academic research, and meets the need for an
appropriate course framework and materials for teaching research
methodology. Covering topics such as pragmatism, research design,
and empirical modeling, this premier reference source is a dynamic
resource for educators and administrators of higher education,
pre-service teachers, librarians, teacher educators, non-native
English-speaking researchers, and academicians.
Although US history is marred by institutionalized racism and
sexism, postracial and postfeminist attitudes drive our polarized
politics. Violence against people of color, transgendered and gay
people, and women soar upon the backdrop of Donald Trump, Tea Party
affiliates, alt-right members like Richard Spencer, and right-wing
political commentators like Milo Yiannopoulos who defend their
racist and sexist commentary through legalistic claims of freedom
of speech. While more institutions recognize the volatility of
these white men's speech, few notice or have thoughtfully
considered the role of white nationalist, alt-right, and
conservative white women's messages that organizationally preserve
white supremacy. In Rebirthing a Nation: White Women, Identity
Politics, and the Internet, author Wendy K. Z. Anderson details how
white nationalist and alt-right women refine racist rhetoric and
web design as a means of protection and simultaneous instantiation
of white supremacy, which conservative political actors including
Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway, Sarah Huckabee
Sanders, and Ivanka Trump have amplified through transnational
politics. By validating racial fears and political divisiveness
through coded white identity politics, postfeminist and motherhood
discourse functions as a colorblind, gilded cage. Rebirthing a
Nation reveals how white nationalist women utilize colorblind
racism within digital space, exposing how a postfeminist framework
becomes fodder for conservative white women's political speech to
preserve institutional white supremacy.
