This upper-level textbook presents a new approach to large scale
qualitative analysis – the pioneering breadth-and-depth method.
It covers the strengths and deployment of “big qual” as
a distinct research methodology. The book will appeal to students
and researchers across disciplines and methodological backgrounds.
The growing availability of large qualitative data sets presents
exciting opportunities. Pooling multiple qualitative data sets
enhances the possibility of theoretical generalisability and
strengthens claims from qualitative research about understanding
how social processes work. Given the evolving possibilities that
big data offers the humanities and social sciences, this book will
be a must-have resource, building capacity and provoking new ways
of thinking about qualitative research and its analysis.
Tabloid headlines such as 'Anti-social Feral Youth,' 'Vile Products
of Welfare in the UK' and 'One in Four Adolescents is a Criminal'
have in recent years obscured understanding of what social justice
means for young people and how they experience it. Youth
marginality in Britain offers a new perspective by promoting young
people's voices and understanding the agency behind their actions.
It explores different forms of social marginalisation within media,
culture and society, focusing on how young people experience social
discrimination at a personal and collective level. This collection
from a wide range of expert contributors showcases contemporary
research on multiple youth deprivation of personal isolation,
social hardship, gender and ethnic discrimination and social
stigma. With a foreword from Robert MacDonald, it explores the
intersection of race, gender, class, asylum seeker status and care
leavers in Britain, placing them in the broader context of
austerity, poverty and inequality to highlight both change and
continuity within young people's social and cultural identities.
This timely contribution to debates concerning youth austerity in
Britain is suitable for students across youth studies, sociology,
education, criminology, youth work and social policy.

How, and what, children and young adults read are questions bound
up with both aspirations and concerns. This book brings together
experts from a range of academic disciplines to examine how this
reading has been mediated in Anglo-American contexts. Reading
Mediation explores mediation across case studies of different
reading experiences, practices and modes: It considers social and
solitary reading; it analyzes ideas of text-reader interaction
through book design and textual strategies; and it examines methods
readers use for orienting themselves in relation to the text.
Throughout it interrogates how values and assumptions about the
effects of reading are implicated in its mediation, underpinning
book collections, programmatic and parental intervention and
facilitation of reading as well as the study of children's reading
and literature. Employing a variety of methodologies, the essays
elaborate how using "mediation" as a connecting node of analysis
promotes interdisciplinary dialogue, and they demonstrate its value
as a critical term for the study of children's reading, literacy
and print culture.
