Working with Paradata, Marginalia and Fieldnotes - The Centrality of By-Products of Social Research (Hardcover): Rosalind... Working with Paradata, Marginalia and Fieldnotes - The Centrality of By-Products of Social Research (Hardcover)
Rosalind Edwards, John Goodwin, Henrietta O'Connor, Ann Phoenix
R2,868 Discovery Miles 28 680 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book asks the important question; Can the by-products of research activity be treated as data and of research interest in themselves? This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume considers the analytic value of a range of 'by-products' of social research and reading. These include electronically captured paradata on survey administration, notes written in the margins of research documents and literary texts, and fieldnotes and ephemera produced by social researchers. Revealing the relational nature of paradata, marginalia and fieldnotes, contributions examine how the craft of studying and analyzing these by-products offers insight into the intellectual, social and ethical processes underpinning the activities of research and reading. Unique and engaging, this book is a must read for social researchers and sociologists, narrative analysts, literary scholars and historians. Bridging methodological boundaries, it will also prove of great value to quantitative and qualitative methodologists alike. Contributors include: K. Bell, J. Boddy, R.G. Burgess, G.B. Durrant, R. Edwards, H. Elliott, E. Fahmy, J. Goodwin, H.J. Jackson, D. Kilburn, O. Maslovskaya, H. O'Connor, A. Phoenix, W.H. Sherman

R2,431 Discovery Miles 24 310 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Focusing on the policy approaches of Conservative governments since 2015, this book examines key social policy areas including education, health, housing, employment, children and young people and more. Respected social policy researchers explore the degree to which the positions and policies of recent Conservative governments have differed from the previous Coalition government (2010-2015). They consider the extent to which austerity has continued and the influence of other policy emphases, such as a â€levelling up’ agenda. Reflecting the rapid changes of Prime Minister, they compare the themes of the Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak administrations, critically examine the impacts of the external shocks of Brexit and COVID-19, as well as changing patterns of public expenditure.

Governing Families - Problematising Technologies in Social Welfare and Criminal Justice (Hardcover): Rosalind Edwards, Pamela... Governing Families - Problematising Technologies in Social Welfare and Criminal Justice (Hardcover)
Rosalind Edwards, Pamela Ugwudike
R1,445 Discovery Miles 14 450 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book provides a focused discussion of how families are governed through technologies. It shows how states attempt to influence, shape and govern families as both the source of and solution to a range of social problems including crime. The book critically reviews family governance in contemporary neo-liberal society, notably through technologies of self-responsibilisation, biologisation, and artificial intelligence. The book draws attention to the poor working class and racialised families that often are marked out and evaluated as culpable, dysfunctional, and a threat to economic and social order, obscuring the structural inequalities that underpin family lives and discriminations that are built into the tools that identify and govern families. Filling a gap where disciplinary perspectives cross-cut, this book brings together sociological and criminological perspectives to provide a unique cross-disciplinary approach to the topic. It will be of interest to researchers, scholars and lecturers studying sociology and criminology, as well as policy-makers and professionals working in the fields of early years and family intervention programmes, including in social work, health, education, and the criminologically-relevant professions such as police and probation.

International Perspectives on Racial and Ethnic Mixedness and Mixing (Hardcover): Rosalind Edwards, Suki Ali, Chamion... International Perspectives on Racial and Ethnic Mixedness and Mixing (Hardcover)
Rosalind Edwards, Suki Ali, Chamion Caballero, Miri Song
R4,440 Discovery Miles 44 400 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

People from a mixed or inter racial and ethnic background, and people partnering and parenting across different racial and ethnic backgrounds, are of increasing political, public and intellectual interest internationally. Contributors to this interdisciplinary collection interrogate notions of mixedness and mixing, and challenge stereotypical assumptions. They advance debates in the field through illuminating the complexity of specific historical trajectories, administrative practices and lived experience.

Recurrent themes woven throughout the chapters include:

  • boundaries and categorisation in terms of administration and government, and also of lived experience
  • the explicit and implicit politics of mixedness and mixing in terms of nation state interests, agenda and policies, as well as on the ground social relations
  • the ways that mixedness and mixing shift in meaning and implications across time and place, shaped by different national, regional and or local contexts.

This volume shows that who is and is not mixed is contested and understandings of mixedness and mixing, however conceived, need to be situated in the larger complex of ideas about race and its classification. International Perspectives on Racial and Ethnic Mixedness and Mixing is an invaluable book for students and scholars of race and ethnicity.

Single Mothers In International Context - Mothers Or Workers? (Paperback): Simon Duncan, Rosalind Edwards Single Mothers In International Context - Mothers Or Workers? (Paperback)
Simon Duncan, Rosalind Edwards
R1,740 Discovery Miles 17 400 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Single mothers caring for dependent children are an important and increasing population in industrialized countries. In some, single mothers are seen primarily as mothers and few have paid work; in others, they are regarded as workers and most have paid work; and sometimes they are seen as an uneasy combination of the two with varying proportions taking up paid work. This edited collection explores these variations, focusing on the interaction between dominant discourses around single motherhood, state policies towards single mothers, the structure of the labour market at national and local levels, and neighbourhood supports and constraints.

R1,525 Discovery Miles 15 250 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

At a time when more mature women are being encouraged to enter higher education as students, this book investigates the effects that studying for a degree has upon women's relationships. The volume explores the interfaces between education and family in the lives of mature women students. Using a qualitative feminist methodology, social science female students of different race and class, with children and in long-term relationships with men, were interviewed in depth. The accounts presented reveal the underlying tensions which exist when "education" and "family" come into conflict. Questions are explored concerning relationships of power within women's lives, both inside and outside "the family" and how these may alter during a degree course. The book assesses the implications and outcomes of power within women's lives and, in particular, it focuses on women's positions in private and public worlds and in higher education itself. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of social sciences, particularly gender issues and educational policies, and women on return to study and other education courses.

Making Families - Moral Tales of Parenting and Step-Parenting (Paperback): Jane Ribbens McCarthy, Rosalind Edwards, Val Gillies Making Families - Moral Tales of Parenting and Step-Parenting (Paperback)
Jane Ribbens McCarthy, Rosalind Edwards, Val Gillies
R1,287 Discovery Miles 12 870 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book goes to the heart of academic, political and popular debates, as well as professional concerns, about the nature of contemporary family life and parenting. Families are widely discussed in western societies as breaking down or as radically changing, with step-families in particular seen as evidence of such trends. In one of the first British in-depth sociological research studies for over two decades, this book provide evidence of parents' and step-parents' own understandings and experiences of their parenting in step-families.

It addresses questions such as: What does it mean to be a family? Do people in step-families see themselves as making a different kind of family? Is individual happiness in a couple relationship prioritised at the expense of responsibilities towards children? Can a step-parent ever be regarded as the same as a biological mother or father? What do people in step-families do to try to make step-family life work?

The book looks at how people create, understand and experience their parenting and family lives. It reveals how these understandings are rooted in a strong sense of moral responsibility, but that what such responsibility constitutes varies according to gender and social class. In particular, it draws out key theoretical implications for understanding the nature of morality, fairness and justice, and questions ideas about individualisation and the democratisation of family life.

This book will be essential reading for those concerned with the study of contemporary family lives, including sociologists, social policy analysts, family therapists, professionals and practitioners. It is also relevant to those interested in contemporary morality and everyday experiences.

A vital interrogation of the internationally accepted policy and practice consensus that intervention to shape parenting in the early years is the way to prevent disadvantage. Given the divisive assumptions and essentialist ideas behind early years intervention, in whose interests does it really serve? This book critically assesses assertions that the 'wrong type of parenting' has biological and cultural effects, stunting babies' brain development and leading to a life of poverty and under-achievement. It shows how early intervention policies underpinned by interpretations of brain science perpetuate gendered, classed and raced inequalities. The exploration of future directions will be welcomed by those looking for a positive, collectivist vision of the future that addresses the real underlying issues in the creation of disadvantage.
