What do we mean when we talk about 'queer teachers'? The authors
here grapple with what it means to be sexually or gender diverse
and to work as a school teacher within four national contexts:
Australia, Ireland, the UK and the USA. This new volume offers
academics, educators and students a provocative exploration of this
pivotal topic.
From first planning to writing up your research, this complete
guide will help you push your project forward. Walking you through
every step you need to take, it helps you build your knowledge of
theory and methods and offers straightforward guidance to empower
you to make good research decisions and learn best practice. This
fifth edition: Draws on over 70 case studies of research in action
to demonstrate potential pitfalls - and how to avoid them. Adds a
new chapter on data management, providing how-to guidance on
storing your research data. Provides more than 150 activities to
help you develop your understanding of key concepts and advance
your research methods knowledge. Illustrates how research methods
skills transfer to the workplace, helping you boost your
employability. Accompanied by online resources including videos,
case studies and further reading that bring methods to life, this
accessible book is still the definitive research companion for any
student doing a research project.
The importance of phonons has long been recognized by research ers
in nonequilibrium superconductivity. Similarly, experimentalists
studying phonons at low temperatures have relied heavily on
supercon ductors as sources and detectors. To a large extent this
symbiotic relationship has developed with a general mutual
awareness; however, to our knowledge these subjects have never been
treated together in conferences or study institutes. It was with
the hope of further contributing to the awareness and communication
between workers in these areas that this NATO Advanced Study
Institute (ASI) has been conceived. A second, but equally
important, reason for holding this ASI is to fill a void by
providing the first general textbook in this important area of
physics. Therefore, there was an emphasis on the tutorial nature of
the lectures and written contributions to this textbook. It should
not go unnoticed that the experimental and theoretical concepts
covered in this textbook are of paramount importance to the various
applications of superconductors. Almost by definition, the use of a
superconductor implies a nonequilibrium state For example, phonon
conduction to the helium bath is important in devices ranging from
microscopic Josephson junctions to large scale magnets and
transmission lines. Knowledge of the more fundamental
nonequilibrium effects can aid in our understanding of devices as
well as provide the potential for entirely new applications."
