Risks, Identities and the Everyday

Risks, Identities and the Everyday focuses on the individual and the lived experience of everyday risks - a departure from the focus on risk from a macro level. The contributors look at risk and how perceptions of risk, risk taking, and risk assessment increasingly dominate our everyday lives and explore it in a variety of settings not previously associated with risk theory, including: plastic surgery, teenage sub-cultures, ageing and independent travel. The volume moves risk away from abstract theorising about what people may or may not fear about risks, to focus on how it actually materialises and operates in everyday 'real' social interactions and contexts. It also interrogates the rational self at the heart of macro social theories by thinking through the construction of risk choices and the socio-cultural dynamics that 'present' some risks as acceptable, appropriate and necessary.
Ethnography in Social Science Practice

Ethnography in Social Science Practice explores ethnography’s increasing use across the social sciences, beyond its traditional bases in social anthropology and sociology. It explores the disciplinary roots of ethnographic research within social anthropology, and contextualizes it within both field and disciplinary settings. The book is of two parts: Part one places ethnography as a methodology in its historical, ethical and disciplinary context, and also discusses the increasing popularity of ethnography across the social sciences. Part two explores the stages of ethnographic research via a selection of multidisciplinary case studies. A number of key questions are explored: What exactly is ethnographic research and what makes it different from other qualitative approaches?Why did ethnography emerge within one social science discipline and not others?Why did its adoption across the social sciences prove problematic?What are the methodological advantages and disadvantages of doing ethnographic research?Why are ethnographers so concerned by issues of ethics, politics, representation and power?What does ethnography look like within different social science disciplines?The book is aimed at social science students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and each chapter has pedagogic features, including reflective activities and suggested further readings for students.

Being the Chosen
Exploring a Christian Fundamentalist Worldview

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Being the Chosen explores Christian fundamentalism in the USA, focusing particularly on the belief system of Protestant fundamentalists. It establishes the key characteristics of the Protestant worldview, investigating the degrees to which these are adhered to amongst different groups and how such belief systems are constructed and reinforced through everyday life. By presenting rich empirical material, Being the Chosen sheds light on the manner in which the Protestant fundamentalist worldview shapes and constructs the beliefs and actions of its adherents, providing them with agency and reinforcement in the face of oppositional forces. As such, it will interest not only sociologists, but also scholars of religion and the culture and society of the USA.

Research Ethics in Context

The focus of this Major Work is unequivocally cross-disciplinary: the three-volume collection contains landmark papers which explore ethics issues in context across all research that involves human subjects, taking a look at aspects such as consent, sensitivity, protection from harm, and data protection. Crucially, a cross-disciplinary approach enables scholars to learn from the best (and worst) practice of others, and helps to cultivate understanding of how many of today’s ethical codes of practice emerged in response to the unethical practice of individuals within a range of disciplines. The literature is arranged thematically by volume, introduced by the editor’s introduction which provides the context and rationale behind the selection of papers.

Volume One: Historical Context

Volume Two: Classic Cases Redux

Volume Three: Core concepts
Research Ethics in Practice

Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
This three-volume Major Work explores the subject of ethics as an aspect of research practice.
As many researchers have noted, research design and implementation are two different things; in the ‘field’, ethical issues can change and new issues can emerge. What are and are not ethical issues, and the contested and evolving nature of ethics, are a couple of key aspects considered in this collection’s collated literature, and particularly in relation to the different ethical strategies utilised by researchers.
The selected papers in this Major Work are contextualised by introductory passages written by the editor, which explore the rationale, key themes and issues.
Volume One: Power, politics and reflexivity
Volume Two: Covert research
Volume Three: Contemporary issues and challenges

Understanding Religion and Society
Identity, Meaning and Knowledge

Tillfälligt slut
Understanding Religion and Society: Identity, Meaning and Knowledge is aimed at undergraduate students studying religion within a social science context. Its central focus is on the roles that religion plays within social life and how these roles influence the economic, political, and socio-cultural aspects of different societies. Identity, meaning and knowledge provision are identified as underpinning all of religion’s other socio-cultural functions. The book uses these three elements as central themes – a means to explore the ways in which religion operates within different societies. The book will review a range of key issues and debates within the social science study of religion, including the secularization thesis. It will review key global religious trends, such as the growth of religious fundamentalism, new religious movements, and New Age believing. The book will have a range of pedagogic features, including, short ‘boxed’ case studies, reflective questions and activities, suggested readings, media and online resources.
