Case studies of micro-enterprise, girls' education, and population
programs suggest that our discourse limits our potential to
conceive of development, communication, and gender outside of
neoliberal ideologies. Advocacy for global social justice demands a
different accountability through critical research.
This volume interrogates what "global" means in the context of
"communication," and who benefits from global communication
practices and industries. Emerging scholars contribute their unique
perspectives in communication scholarship, charting innovative
directions for research that connects empirical evidence with
pressing questions of social significance. This critical reflection
leads to considering problems that result from the way global
communication becomes mobilized, in the practice of journalism and
development as well as the ICT industry. Global Communication
defines the term "globalization," through understanding the
cultural geography of global, regional, national, and local media.
Critical evaluations of media production, distribution, and
consumption practices, within cultural contexts, offer insights
into how people "mediate" the global. Chapters draw attention to
communications in Latin America, the Arab World, and South Asia,
complicating territorial boundaries and exploring how local
audience and industry practices work within global as well as local
configurations.

Questioning Numbers: How to Read and Critique Research is a
critical companion for students in research methods courses in any
of the social sciences. This book helps teach students how to read
and critique research that employs numbers in the course of
empirical argument. Author Karin Gwinn Wilkins provides a list of
guidelines for reading research and also presents a critical
approach to judging and using numbers in navigating and changing
social worlds.
Illuminating the agendas and politics that can inform how research
is conducted and interpreted, this text shows readers how to read
and critique research contexts, research design, sampling
strategies, definitions, research implementation, data analysis,
and interpretation. It also provides strong pedagogical support,
including key terms, review exercises, and end-of-chapter
reflection questions.
A flexible supplement to more comprehensive research texts,
Questioning Numbers helps students to become more critical
consumers and producers of quantitative research across the social
sciences.
