A basic premise of public scholarship is making academic work and
related ideas accessible and available to publics. Media
engagement, whether interviews with news journalists, or the use of
hashtags, is a necessary feature of any public scholarship. Media
formats play a fundamental and interactive role in how people
ultimately come to view and understand the social world having had
a discernable influence on election outcomes, responses to global
pandemics, and so on. The question is not whether scholars should
engage with media but how to do so. Drawing on fifteen years of
experience that includes hundreds of print, radio, and television
news interviews, dozens of published opinion pieces, and the use of
social media for public engagement, this book outlines a practical
easy-to-follow approach to doing public sociology in media that
consists of, and brings together, interrelated forms of media
engagement. This book also offers some advice pertaining to career
advancement and provides strategies to avoid negative experiences.
Doing Public Scholarship will be of general interest to those
wanting to go public with their research.

Participants from Couch-Stone Symposium 2014 have transformed their
presentations into elegant papers for this collection. Chapters
fall into three categorical themes, largely reflecting their
position in the symposium but, more importantly, reflecting a
natural progression in scope of symbolic interactionist work in
music: moving from observations of the individual to observation of
organizations to interdisciplinary observations of music from
scholars in related disciplines.
Defining Sexual Misconduct investigates shifts in media coverage of
sexual violence and details significant changes in public discourse
about sexual harm. In 2015, the New York Times ran just a single
headline with the term "sexual misconduct." Three years later, it
ran scores of such headlines, averaging more than one per week, and
expanded coverage across other media organizations followed. This
shift in coverage is reflective of significant changes in public
discourse about sexual harm helping to hold some perpetrators
accountable for their behaviour and paved the path for #MeToo and
related movements against sexual abuse and harm to receive national
and global attention. In Defining Sexual Misconduct, Stacey Hannem
and Christopher Schneider trace contemporary shifts in power in
relation to the increased recognition and censure of sexual
misconduct and the ways in which the shifting social landscape is
communicated in the coverage of sexual misconduct in media. Hannem
and Schneider also examine the contemporary dynamics of public
accusations and their relationship to more formal criminal justice
processes, as well as the implications for the stigmatization of
alleged abusers and public response to alleged victims. Since
behaviours categorized as sexual misconduct may not all be defined
as crimes, or punishable through legal means, social censure and
cancel culture often stand as proxy forms of punishment, and the
authors reflect on what the pursuit of justice might look like in
this extra-legal context.
This book investigates various public aspects of the management,
use, and control of social media by police agencies in Canada. This
book aims to illustrate the process by which new information
technology-namely, social media-and related changes in
communication formats have affected the public face of policing and
police work.Schneider argues that police use of social media has
altered institutional public police practices in a manner that is
consistent with the logic of social media platforms. Policing is
changing to include new ways of conditioning the public,
cultivating self-promotion, and expanding social control. While
each case study presented here focuses on a different social media
platform or format, his concern is less with the particular format
per se, as these will undoubtedly change, and more with developing
suitable analytical and methodological approaches to understanding
contemporary policing practices on social media sites.
Academics often direct their research 'across' in order to examine
issues that grip members of the middle classes, or 'down' in order
to understand the difficulties workers and other marginalized
groups endure. Research that is directed 'up' at individuals and
groups with positions of greater wealth and power is less common,
yet 'studying up' can contribute to our understanding of growing
inequality, economic polarization and social change by studying the
rich, powerful and elite in our society. Presenting the latest
empirical case studies from Canada, The USA and Australia, this
volume explores the challenges and difficulties involved in
conducting research amongst the rich and elite, whilst shedding
light on the manner in which power is harnessed, protected and
controlled to manage and manipulate resources. A demonstration of
the importance of studying up to our understanding of
decision-making, governance and the nature of contemporary
democracy in the global economy, Researching Amongst Elites will be
of interest to sociologists, anthropologists and geographers
working in areas such as social research methods, social
stratification, the sociology of elites and relations of class,
wealth and power.

In order to prepare a successful research project, a qualitative
researcher often must consult media documents of various types.
Authors David L. Altheide and Christopher J. Schneider show readers
how to obtain, categorize, and analyze these different media
documents in this entry in the Qualitative Research Methods series.
They look at traditional primary documents such as newspapers and
magazines but also at more recent forms--television newscasts and
cyberspace. The use of student examples of research protocols makes
this book a useful primer in deriving meaning from the bombardment
of media documents a qualitative researcher faces.

In 2004, Michael Burawoy challenged sociologists to move beyond the
ivory tower and into the realm of activism, to engage in public
discourses about what society could or should be. His call to arms
sparked debate among sociologists. Which side would sociologists
take? Would "public sociology" speak for all sociologists? In this
volume, leading Canadian experts continue the debate by discussing
their discipline's mission and practice and the role that ethics
plays in research, theory, and teaching. In doing so, they offer
insights as to where their discipline is heading and why it matters
to people inside and outside the university.
Security and Risk Technologies in Criminal Justice takes students
through the evolution of risk technology devices, processes, and
prevention. This seminal text unpacks technology’s influence on
our understanding of governance and social order in areas of
criminal justice, policing, and security. With a foreword by
leading criminologist, Kevin Haggerty, the collection consists of
three sections that explore the impact of big data, traditional
risk practices, and the increased reliance on technology in
criminal justice. Eight chapters offer diverse examples that are
linked by themes of preventative justice, calculability of risk,
the theatre and reality of technology, and the costs of justice.
With both national and international appeal, this vital resource is
ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in criminology,
police studies, or sociology.
