Issues of Equity: Key Concepts in Qualitative Methods provides practical and theoretical tools to advance equity in qualitative research, featuring chapters on research methods, concepts, and populations. The short chapters offer guidance for researchers, students, and practitioners to conduct ethically sound and transformative qualitative research focused on diverse perspectives and social justice principles.

This book covers a wide range of topics essential to equity in qualitative research. Methods like testimonio research, person-centered interviewing, black liberation research, and liberatory participatory action research provide ways to amplify marginalized voices, promote collaboration, and create knowledge grounded in participants' lived experiences. Key concepts such as transformative-emancipatory praxis, critical reflexivity, and counternarratives offer innovative frameworks for analyzing power dynamics in qualitative research. Chapters on research with culturally diverse populations, within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and Two-Spirit (LGBTQIA2S+) community, and through Dine (Navajo) Philosophy and Indigenous Ways of Knowing highlight the importance of uplifting cultural identities and ways of knowing... The book's main findings emphasize the importance of integrating social justice principles in all phases of research, encouraging critical reflexivity, and understanding context-specific challenges to conducting equitable qualitative research studies.

Aimed at qualitative researchers, students, and practitioners, the book provides practical and theoretical tools to center equity in research design, implementation, and analysis.

Courses in psychological distress and disorders are among the most popular courses in psychology programs, and mood and anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent disorders covered in these classes and encountered by mental health professionals. Although there are books on mood and anxiety disorders, on particular aspects of them, and on their presentation in specific populations, such works do not provide students new to the field with a comprehensive and accessible ready reference for understanding these disorders with respect to their phenomenology, etiology, and treatment, and through an inclusive lens that consistently considers how these symptoms appear and are construed across cultures, addressing societal factors such as race, culture, equity, and oppression. It is hoped that The SAGE Encyclopedia of Mood and Anxiety Disorders will fill this gap, allowing students and other interested readers to become familiar with past and current approaches and theories and to enhance their understanding of the sociocultural factors that affect how we discuss, approach, and treat these types of psychological distress. As such, consideration of sociocultural factors will infuse the three-volume set.

The encyclopedia will consist of approximately 450 entries (essays), arranged alphabetically within three volumes.

A guide to the art of reviewing scholarly books, with strategies and suggestions

Scholarly book reviews should be enjoyable-both to write and to read. All too often, though, they offer little more than chapter-by-chapter summaries. In this comprehensive handbook, Steven Gump offers an encouraging guide to crafting valuable reviews of scholarly books in the humanities and social sciences. Readers learn how to write engaging, respectful reviews that make intellectual contributions of their own. With extensive experience in both writing and editing scholarly book reviews, Gump walks prospective reviewers through the process of selecting a book to review, identifying a venue to publish the review, reading and annotating the book, and writing a review that is tailored to the audience of the target venue, with the possibility of dissemination to popular outlets beyond the core field.

Alongside this practical advice, Gump offers a generous philosophy of scholarly book reviewing that considers the roles of book reviews and the responsibilities of book reviewers within the broader scholarly ecosystem. Readers learn how to uplift the voices and contributions of authors, how to prepare the next generation of reviewers (including undergraduates or graduate students), and how to elevate an unjustly underestimated genre. Ultimately, this essential guide brings into renewed focus the joys of reading scholarly works, engaging with intellectual ideas, and writing incisively.

The Elgar Encyclopedia of International Relations is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of international politics, economics and law. It is also a valuable read for international policy professionals seeking insight into the dynamics of the field.

This groundbreaking encyclopaedia presents 74 innovative concepts selected and elaborated by multilingual scholars, enriching critical discussions of the notion of interculturality in global scholarship.

Many scholars are currently attempting to un-re-think and decolonize interculturality in different fields of research. Although ideas are critiqued and revised, this is happening in very similar linguistic terms as before. These potential attempts to decentre and decolonize could then be put into question. This book argues that knowledge production and negotiation should be exercised through alternative linguistic strategies, not for the sake of sounding different, but to advance new ways of defining, knowing and problematizing. The need to develop concepts in English and other languages is thus promoted in this encyclopaedia.

Students, scholars and teachers with a sound background in intercultural studies will benefit most from the book. It will also appeal to anyone wishing to explore new ways of thinking, researching, speaking and writing about interculturality.

Structural Existential Analysis (SEA) is a qualitative research method which uses an existential-phenomenological framework that has been developed through decades of therapeutic and research practice. This book describes the method of SEA and how to apply it to qualitative research.

The book starts with a detailed description of the existential underpinnings of SEA, drawing on a range of phenomenologists, to demonstrate the need for a phenomenology of interiority. The method is described in full, explaining the use of a specific form of self-reflection (SOAR) and of the Existential Research Dialogue. The second part focuses on the analysis of the research data. A full description is given of each of the filters, in terms of their origin, their meaning and of the specific ways in which they are applied. The text is enlivened by ample examples demonstrating how the filters can be used and how the analysis can draw out different aspects of human experience throughout the process.

The book will be essential reading, for all those involved in education, training or research in existential therapies, clinical psychology and counselling psychology.

By converting knowledge into computable formats, Causal Knowledge Analytics enables scholars to harness digital capabilities for literature processing.

Causal Knowledge Analytics is a fundamental resource for business and social science scholars. Students in business and management will also benefit from the book's theoretical and practical insights.

The book's contributors share alternative perspectives and sometimes controversial ideas that call for debate in the theory and philosophy of business research. They focus on the connection between research design and philosophical concepts such as ontology, epistemology and axiology. Ultimately, they emphasise that all researchers must take responsibility for their work and the challenging decisions they face despite being inevitably influenced by political, disciplinary and organisational constraints.

This book will be particularly beneficial to Honours, Masters by research and Doctoral students from a variety of business disciplines, such as accounting, finance, international business, management, marketing and organisational studies. It provides a starting point for learning about the challenges and joys of social research. It also offers experienced researchers, educators and supervisors a reminder and refresh about methodological issues, revisiting and introducing alternative scholarly perspectives.

Chapters cover the conceptual dimensions of conducting sensitive research and present ethical considerations and various qualitative, as well as more creative methodologies, pertinent to this type of study. Leading authors provide firsthand accounts and experiences of conducting sensitive research with vulnerable, marginalised, or hard-to-reach individuals or groups, such as LGBTQ+ and older populations, outlining personal narratives that provide illuminating insights. This Handbook demonstrates that conducting sensitive research is crucial for deepening our comprehension of intricate human experiences and the elements that shape them, especially in domains frequently obscured by silence or stigma.

The Handbook of Sensitive Research in the Social Sciences is an essential read for researchers across the social sciences whose work incorporates emotive topics, providing readers with the most suitable and considered methodologies to employ when working with vulnerable people.

Trauma-informed practices have become an increasingly essential part of librarianship since the COVID-19 global pandemic. Trauma can result from a single negative event or repeated exposure to negative events over time and can manifest in many forms. Trauma-informed approaches to leadership seek to understand and consider an individual's holistic life experiences, particularly negative consequences of trauma, when determining how to best support and interact with them in the workplace.

Contributing authors analyze the interdisciplinary nature of the field, recognizing how queer studies has evolved for over three decades and remains in constant flux. They engage with a broad range of topics and frameworks, including historical and contemporary theorizing, as well as emerging concepts that respond to the fast-changing practices of identity and belonging in current contexts. They also dissect important and often overlooked dimensions of queer studies, including key social movements, minorities and intersectionality.

Key Features:

• Over 100 historically-grounded entries describing recent developments and forward-looking insights
• Outlines significant updates in the field, focusing on cutting-edge terms and concepts in queer scholarship, culture and society

Microliteratures is an innovative examination of writings done in the margins of medieval manuscripts and early modern books. Not always as formal as glosses, sometimes feverish and abbreviated, these marginal writings or, "microliteratures," are the product of readers thinking with the text at the center of the page. Jesus R. Velasco argues that microliteratures are not private annotations but, rather, a humanistic activity performed in the public sphere. These marginal engagements with texts are made public to future readers of the same book.

Surveying the microliteratures of a wide range of medieval and early modern Iberian genres-legal, religious, chivalric, and political texts-Velasco finds that in the shared space and time of reading, microliterary actions and artifacts are also models of public humanities work that connects texts to contemporary issues. Microliteratures emerge from this ambitious book as a way of understanding the self as a reflective and politically engaged reader in conversation with past, present, and future readers as contemporaries.

Non-Western perspective on the international history of intellectual property rights

Politics in Publishing focuses on Japan's involvement in shaping international copyright law over a seventy-year period following the country's 1899 accession to the Berne Convention, the first multilateral copyright treaty. During this time, Japanese state officials collaborated with various stakeholders such as publishers, translators, and legal experts to strategically influence the international revision process of the treaty. The involvement of these actors in international organizations such as the League of Nations and the United Nations affected global copyright norms even as Japan advanced its imperial - national after 1945 - and capitalist interests.

Taking a previously lacking non-Western perspective on the history of international copyright law, Politics in Publishing highlights the complex interplay between state and private actors and between domestic and international power relations, as well as administrative transformations in the formation of the modern, global international order. Grounded in an impressive body of primary source material, this book will make a substantial contribution to interdisciplinary scholarship on intellectual property, and copyright history in particular.

First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What is Narrative Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series.

Narrative research has become a catchword in the social sciences today, promising new fields of inquiry and creative solutions to persistent problems. This book brings together ideas about narrative from a variety of contexts across the social sciences and synthesizes understandings of the field. Rather than focusing on theory, it examines how narrative research is conducted and applied. It operates as a practical introductory guide, basic enough for first-time researchers, but also as a window onto the more complex questions and difficulties that all researchers in this area face. The authors guide readers through current debates about how to obtain and analyse narrative data, about the nature of narrative, the place of the researcher, the limits of researcher interpretations, and the significance of narrative work in applied and in broader political contexts.

This new edition includes updated references and a greater focus on digitality throughout. It addresses social justice and decoloniality more explicitly, centrally and consistently, drawing on examples around Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, climate change and Extinction Rebellion, and Covid and pandemic narratives.

This text teaches basic R skills to political science students with no programming background. Intended specifically for the students who need to learn R for a class and who have no interest in R or may even be afraid of or hostile to it, this text builds an awareness of basics, confidence, and a skill set necessary to transition into more advanced texts.

To that end, in addition to standard topics, this book includes three chapters specific to the new or reluctant learner. The Introduction explicitly sets expectations for how to use the book and discusses fixed and growth mentalities, and why a growth mentality is crucial for learning R. Chapter 1 includes some basic information on programming, R, and their place in political science research. Chapter 2 explicitly discusses errors, warnings, and methods of debugging. Further chapters build on this by including new errors or warnings that students may encounter as they progress.

In service of the aim to give students a solid foundation in R and awareness of what it is and can do, this book teaches and uses both tidyverse and base R frameworks throughout. After completing the book, students should be prepared to learn more advanced materials.
