Visual Research Methods in the Social Sciences: Awakening Visions
is an indispensable resource for students, researchers and teachers
seeking to use visual sources in their research and understand how
images work. This fully updated edition adds questions and
activities for studies and many new images and models as well as
additional exploration of social and theoretical contexts and
examples of current visual and multimodal research. Due to the
proliferation of image-centric social media and the growing
potential for 'fake news', being able to critically assess media
and other visual messages is more important than ever. For
researchers embarking on visual research this book offers useful
practical guidance and real-world examples from seasoned
researchers exploring cultures as varied as: religious cults in
Venezuela, the Beer Can Regatta in Darwin, Mapuche Indians in Chile
and graffiti artists in Sheffield. It offers an integrated approach
to visual research, building compelling case studies using a wide
range of visual forms, including: archive images, media samples,
maps, objects, video, photographs and drawings alongside
traditional qualitative approaches. Examples of the visual
construction of 'place', representations of social identities and
different approaches to analysis are explored in the first section
of the book, whilst the essays in the second section highlight the
creativity and innovation of four leading visual researchers. This
new edition will prove valuable for both experienced visual
researchers and those embarking on visual research in the social
sciences for the first time.

Broad-ranging and comprehensive, this completely revised and
updated textbook is a critical guide to issues and theories of
'race' and ethnicity. It shows how these concepts came into being
during colonial domination and how they became central - and until
recently, unquestioned - aspects of social identity and division.
This book provides students with a detailed understanding of
colonial and post-colonial constructions, changes and challenges to
race as a source of social division and inequality. Drawing upon
rich international case studies from Australia, Guyana, Canada,
Malaysia, the Caribbean, Mexico, Ireland and the UK, the book
clearly explains the different strands of theory which have been
used to explain the dynamics of race. These are critically
scrutinised, from biological-based ideas to those of critical race
theory. This key text includes new material on changing
multiculturalism, immigration and fears about terrorism, all of
which are critically assessed. Incorporating summaries,
chapter-by-chapter questions, illustrations, exercises and a
glossary of terms, this student-friendly text also puts forward
suggestions for further project work. Broad in scope, interactive
and accessible, this book is a key resource for undergraduate
students of 'race' and ethnicity across the social sciences.

Leadership is a growing preoccupation of the contemporary church,
but for some of the most inspiring examples of good leadership we
need to go back, not forwards. Archbishop William Temple is widely
regarded as one of the most influential church leaders of the
twentieth century. In this book Stephen Spencer unpacks Archbishop
Temple's life and legacy, and the ways in which his leadership
transformed society in remarkable ways. From education to politics,
and from spiritual direction to leading the church through national
crisis, this book draws on Temple's biography to offer a unique and
profound portrait of the kind of servant leadership the church
needs today.

The SCM Studyguide to Anglicanism offers a comprehensive
introduction to the many different facets of Anglicanism. Aimed at
students preparing for ministry, it presumes no prior knowledge of
the subject and offers helpful overviews of Anglican history,
liturgy, theology, Canon Law, mission and global Anglicanism. As
well as offering updated and improved lists of further reading,
this second edition brings a greater emphasis on worldwide
expressions of Anglicanism, with more examples taken from Asian and
African contexts, and a brand new section which considers the rise
of the global communion alongside issues of inculturation and
indigenisation.
Theology Reforming Society tells the story of Anglican social
theology from its roots in the writings and work of F.D. Maurice
and the Christian Socialists, including Charles Kingsley and John
Ludlow, and on to the work of William Temple. It also looks beyond
Temple to the work of the Board for Social Responsibility, and to
some of the theologians and church leaders who have continued its
witness since then. Referring to the wider ecumenical context in
order to draw out the distinctive features of the tradition of
Anglican Social Theology, the book provides an important and
comprehensive account for all those interested in Anglican
theology, social and political theology and Christian ethics.

William Temple was one of the towering figures in the Church of
England in the twentieth century. He was a philosopher, theologian,
social reformer, bishop and archbishop. As Archbishop of Canterbury
he guided a nation at war and helped pave the way of the new
post-war society, coining the term 'the welfare state' and building
support in the Church of England for radical social reforms. This
comprehensive volume draws on Temple's extensive publications,
broadcasts, public speeches, sermons and private letters and
reflects the broad range of his concerns: * The case for Christian
belief * The interface of theology and philosophy * Spiritual
formation of the faithful * Christian social principles and
political thought * Guiding a nation at war and envisaging a new
society Prefaced by an extensive introduction to Temple's life and
times and an overview of the key aspects of his legacy, Stephen
Spencer provides students with an authoritative guide to one of
Anglicanism's most influential figures.
What is genuine church growth? Is it, at heart, the numerical
growth of regular congregations or are there other dimensions and,
if so, what are they? How can we learn from other contexts in order
to properly inform our understanding of what we mean by church
growth? Mara is one of the most marginalised regions in Tanzania,
which in turn is a country in the most marginalised continent on
the planet, and yet, Spencer argues, the church in the region has
exhibited remarkable growth. Looking beyond the usual dimensions of
church growth discourse, Stephen Spencer weaves in his own
experience in Tanzania, finding in that wholly different context an
approach to church growth which might entirely change the discourse
in the global north.

resource. Offering material for use throughout the Christian year,
it uses the Church's seasons to explore the different ways that

Beginning again * Christmas: Finding God * Epiphany: Seeing glory *
Lent: Finding acceptance * Passiontide: Growing in compassion *
Easter: Growing in faith * Ascensiontide: Making sense of it all *
Pentecost: Sensing the Spirit * Ordinary Time: Visions of the
whole. Drawing on on Scripture, Christian tradition and
contemporary psychological insights such as the Enneagram, it

range of imaginative activities and spiritual exercises. The
outlines are readily adaptable to half day, whole day or weekend
retreats and are suitable for group or individually-guided
