The Social Psychology of Expertise offers an integrative perspective to the analysis of experts and expertise in organizations, social roles, management, etc. It is the first book to link the psychology of expertise to sociology, particularly the sociology of professions. By examining the converging elements of both approaches and investigating the conditions of interactions with all types of experts, The Social Psychology of Expertise makes it possible to understand the market form of expert services. This book:*introduces the expert role approach--a new and encompassing view on the role of experts and how to use the experts' expertise in organizations, financial markets, and environmental issues;*enhances a mutual understanding between the psychology of expertise and the sociology of professions (for students, as well as scholars);*provides a helpful understanding of dealing with experts in the context of organizational behavior;*shows how we can make proper use of the experts' expertise in management and planning;*demonstrates how the role of experts influences volatility in financial markets; and*defines the limits of human expertise in predicting climate change.

The management of industrial heritage sites requires rethinking in the context of urban change, and the issue of how to balance protection, preservation/conservation, and development becomes all the more crucial as industrial heritage sites grow in number. This brings into play new challenges—not only through the known conflicts between monument preservation and contemporary architecture, but also with the increasing demand for economic urban development by reusing the built heritage of former industrial sites. This book explores the conservation and change of industrial heritage sites in transformation, presenting and examining ten European and Asian case studies. The interdisciplinary approach of the book connects a diversity of rationales and discourses, including monument protection, World Heritage conventions, urban regeneration, urban planning and design, architecture, and politics. This is the first book to deepen the understanding of industrial heritage site management as a networked, multi-dimensional task involving diverse social agents and societal discourses.

Undergraduate Research (UR) can be defined as an investigation into a specific topic within a discipline by an undergraduate student that makes an original contribution to the field. It has become a major consideration among research universities around the world, in order to advance both academic teaching and research productivity. Edited by an international team of world authorities in UR, this Handbook is the first truly comprehensive and systematic account of undergraduate research, which brings together different international approaches, with attention to both theory and practice. It is split into sections covering different countries, disciplines, and methodologies. It also provides an overview of current research and theoretical perspectives on undergraduate research as well as future developmental prospects of UR. Written in an engaging style, yet wide-ranging in its scope, it is essential reading for anyone wishing to broaden their understanding of how undergraduate research is implemented worldwide.

Kulturerbe zukunftsfähig weiterentwickeln: neue Ansätze und Beispiele aus der Praxis„Open Heritage" gründet auf der dringenden Forderung, dass eine zukunftsfähige Weiterentwicklung von unserem Kulturerbe in Zeiten des Klimawandels, sozialer Ungleichheit und Pluralität der Gesellschaft nur möglich ist, wenn wir die Definition von Kulturerbe, von Planungsprozessen sowie davon, wer an der Pflege beteiligt sein kann, öffnen. Dieses Buch präsentiert auf anschauliche und systematische Weise die Ergebnisse des EU-geförderten Projekts OpenHeritage, in dem zahlreiche von der Gemeinschaft gesteuerte europäische Fallbeispiele untersucht wurden. Dabei stellt es die Idee eines integrativen Managements in den Mittelpunkt. Dieser anleitende Überblick dient allen involvierten, planenden, forschenden und entscheidenden Akteur:innen für die zeitgemäße Weiterentwicklung und Nutzung von Kulturerbe. Systematische Darstellung der Ergebnisse des EU-Projekts OpenHeritage Sammlung verschiedener Ansätze zur Abschätzung der sozialen Auswirkungen von Bottom-up-Projekten bei der Wiederverwendung von Kulturerbe Darstellung zahlreicher Methoden aus Fallstudien von OpenHeritage sowie aus Initiativen in Europa

Georg Simmel hat mit seinem Aufsatz "Die Großstädte und das Geistesleben" (1903) den Anstoß für die sozialwissenschaftliche Stadtforschung gegeben. Für Simmel verkörpern Großstädte den Sitz der Moderne - Orte, an denen sich durch Arbeitsteilung und Spezialisierung eine besondere Produktivkraft herausbildet. Orte, an denen das Individuum einen bis dahin unbekannten Grad an persönlicher Freiheit erlangt. Mit diesem Buch, einem Herausgeberwerk des Georg-Simmel-Zentrums für Metropolenforschung, gehen die AutorInnen der Frage nach, welche Relevanz Simmel für die heutige Stadtforschung besitzt. Insbesondere wird das interdisziplinäre Potenzial des Simmelschen Ansatzes aufgezeigt.

Die Autoren erörtern in diesem essential die wesentlichen Punkte für das Verständnis und die Organisation von Freiwilligenarbeit. Wie wesentlich ist es für diese Art von Arbeit, dass sie unbezahlt bleibt und von sogenannten Laien mit besonderer Motivlage ausgeführt wird?
