Social Researching (1984) examine the ‘stories’ about
‘real’ research in social sciences and its problems, and
discusses funding, publication, the history of major projects,
postgraduate work and issues raised by feminists doing research, as
well as the practical, ethical and political difficulties.
Women's Health Matters, like its sister volume Women's Health
Counts, is an invaluable practical guide to doing feminist research
on women's health. Written by experienced researchers and
practitioners, these lively accounts of research work range from
getting the research idea, through obtaining the funding and doing
the research, to the practical problems faced, and eventual
publication. The book provides an ideal antidote to textbooks and
manuals, giving the reader a taste of the problems and pleasures of
doing real research.
Recently there has been an upsurge of interest in research on
women's health. Women's Health Matters, like its sister volume
Women's Health Counts, is a practical guide to doing feminist
research on women's health. For people starting to do research, the
completed monograph and the methodology textbook can give only a
partial understanding of what it is like to do research and what
the problems and pleasures really are. What, for instance, are the
pitfalls of obtaining funding, finding researchable topics, and
managing research projects? This collection, with contributions by
pioneering researchers and practitioners such Ann Oakley and Sheila
Kitzinger, provides accounts of research work ranging from getting
the research idea, through obtaining the funding and doing the
research, to the practical problems faced, and eventual
publication. The contributors all underline the value of
qualitative data and women's own experience in assessing and
interpreting health issues. This book should be of interest to
social scientists, medical students and nurses researching women's
health, and students of medical sociology, social policy and
women's studies.
The UK has a deservedly strong reputation for work on understanding
social inequalities in health, but there is some way to go in using
research and other types of knowledge to reduce inequalities in
child health. This revised and updated edition of an important
report looks at macro public policy interventions, community
interventions, and individual level interventions in a variety of
settings, including infancy, early years, childhood, adolescence,
and particular needs including looked after children. It considers
'what works' - or might work - in practice. There are new case
studies, updated research references, and new reference to cost
effectiveness - all relevant for doing the right thing in a climate
of austerity. Drawing on evidence from the UK and beyond, the book
presents these in an accessible form, not just for those who make
decisions now, but also for the students of today who are the
decision makers of tomorrow. The book is supported by a companion
website, containing additional materials for both students and
lecturers, which is available from the link above.

Are you in 'The Comparison Trap'? Too often, women hold each other
back, bad mouthing and making unflattering comparisons. Social
media gives extra opportunities for negative comment. What would
happen, asks Helen Roberts, if women ceased to compete and compare?
What if we settled our conflicts and resolved instead to champion
one another? To celebrate each other's victories? In The Comparison
Trap Helen explores the complexities of female relationships in
workplaces, families and friendship circles, using contemporary,
historical, personal and biblical examples. This book is for women
who want to establish healthy habits, enabling their relationships
to thrive. This will help them to live more confidently as the
daughters the Father intends us to be, free from envy or
comparison.
"Teaching from a Multicultural Perspective, one of the volumes in Sage's Survival Skills for Scholars series, is a commonsense primer for developing multicultural pedagogies, courses, curricula, and most important, institutions. Helen Roberts and her associates set out practical strategies and principles for teaching, mentoring, and fostering the academic (and personal) success of minority and nontraditional students. Although this book covers issues relating to multiculturalism on campus that may already be familiar to many of us, it nonetheless should be of interest to advisors who also teach, who are involved in teacher training, or who are involved in resource networking, and who would like to share a basic introduction to the issues with new instructors or other advisors. . . . They valuably stress the role academic advisors can play in the success of minority students." --Brady Harrison in The Journal of the National Academic Advising Association How do you welcome the growing number of culturally diverse students in your classroom without alienating, condescending, or offending them? The authors of this collaborative volume, all experienced teachers and administrators in the ethnically heterogeneous California State University system, outline how to teach "multiculturally." They suggest a set of classroom strategies, curriculum reforms, assessment tools, and mentoring relationships that work for all students, regardless of their cultural background--or yours. The authors contend that cultural diversity is an issue for all faculty members to address regardless of your discipline or the ethnic composition of your campus. With the material in this volume, you can begin to meet the challenge of the truly multicultural university.

This book explores music identity for students training to teach
children aged 3-11. The personal stories of the teaching students,
collected through narrative methods, raised important issues
related to the judgements they made about their music teaching
abilities. Symbolic interactionism and social constructionism
underpinned the development of a complex picture of students'
musical identity for teaching. The perceived hegemony of western
high art music appeared to be used as a benchmark they used to say
they were 'Not musical enough' to teach. They were musically
capable but found the real strictures and their perception of
schools' expectations inhibited their musical identity. This will
be of interest to academics in the field of music and teacher
education, to musicians and youth workers interested in supporting
young people to find their own musical 'voice'.
