The Handbook of Teaching Qualitative and Mixed Research Methods: A
Step-by-step Guide for Instructors presents diverse pedagogical
approaches to teaching 71 qualitative and mixed methods. These
tried-and-true methods are widely applicable to those teaching and
those being trained in qualitative and mixed methods research. The
methods for data collection cover ethics, sampling, interviewing,
recording observations of behavior, Indigenous and decolonizing
methods and methodologies as well as visual and participatory
methods. Methods for analyzing data include coding and finding
themes, exploratory and inductive analysis, linguistic analysis,
mixed methods analysis, and comparative analysis. Each method has
its own 1500-word lesson (i.e., chapter) written by expert
methodologists from around the globe. In these lessons,
contributors give the reader a brief history of the method and
describe how they teach it by including their best practices –
with succinct, step-by-step instructions – focusing on
student-centered experiential and active learning exercises. This
comprehensive, one-of a-kind text is an essential reference for
instructors who teachqualitative and/or mixed methods across the
Social and Behavioral Sciences and other related disciplines,
including Anthropology, Sociology, Education, and Health / Nursing
research.

A study that explores patients' perspectives on a life-altering
surgery Bariatric surgery rates around the world have increased
exponentially over the past decade. In Extreme Weight Loss,
anthropologists Sarah Trainer, Alexandra Brewis, and Amber Wutich
provide us with an inside look at how patients experience this
medical procedure, as well as its far-reaching and complex personal
implications. Drawing on patient interviews, survey data, and more,
Trainer, Brewis, and Wutich explore why people decide to undergo
bariatric surgery, and how that decision transforms their lives.
They show, in painstaking detail, how the journey to weight loss is
can be at once painful and liberating, dispiriting and
self-affirming. Extreme Weight Loss explores questions about which
bodies are treated as though they belong in modern societies, and
which bodies are treated as unwanted. It considers how people
challenge and manage these unfair standards, illuminating what it
means to be large-bodied in America's diet-obsessed culture.
How stigma derails well-intentioned public health efforts, creating
suffering and worsening inequalities. 2020 Winner, Society for
Anthropological Sciences Carol R. Ember Book Prize,Shortlisted for
the British Sociological Association's Foundation for the Sociology
of Health and Illness Book Prize Stigma is a dehumanizing process,
where shaming and blaming are embedded in our beliefs about who
does and does not have value within society. In Lazy, Crazy, and
Disgusting, medical anthropologists Alexandra Brewis and Amber
Wutich explore a darker side of public health: that
well-intentioned public health campaigns can create new and
damaging stigma, even when they are otherwise successful. Brewis
and Wutich present a novel, synthetic argument about how stigmas
act as a massive driver of global disease and suffering, killing or
sickening billions every year. They focus on three of the most
complex, difficult-to-fix global health efforts: bringing
sanitation to all, treating mental illness, and preventing obesity.
They explain how and why humans so readily stigmatize, how this
derails ongoing public health efforts, and why this process
invariably hurts people who are already at risk. They also explore
how new stigmas enter global health so easily and consider why
destigmatization is so very difficult. Finally, the book offers
potential solutions that may be able to prevent, challenge, and fix
stigma. Stigma elimination, Brewis and Wutich conclude, must be
recognized as a necessary and core component of all global health
efforts. Drawing on the authors' keen observations and decades of
fieldwork, Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting combines a wide array of
ethnographic evidence from around the globe to demonstrate
conclusively how stigma undermines global health's basic goals to
create both health and justice.

Traits that signal belonging dictate our daily routines, including
how we eat, move, and connect to others. In recent years, "fat" has
emerged as a shared anchor in defining who belongs and is valued
versus who does not and is not. The stigma surrounding weight
transcends many social, cultural, political, and economic divides.
The concern over body image shapes not only how we see ourselves,
but also how we talk, interact, and fit into our social networks,
communities, and broader society. Fat in Four Cultures is a
co-authored comparative ethnography that reveals the shared
struggles and local distinctions of how people across the globe are
coping with a bombardment of anti-fat messages. Highlighting
important differences in how people experience "being fat," the
cases in this book are based on fieldwork by five anthropologists
working together simultaneously in four different sites across the
globe: Japan, the United States, Paraguay, and Samoa. Through these
cases, Fat in Four Cultures considers what insights can be gained
through systematic, cross-cultural comparison. Written in an
eye-opening and narrative-driven style, with clearly defined and
consistently used key terms, this book effectively explores a
series of fundamental questions about the present and future of fat
and obesity.
