An accessible complement to standard research methods texts, this book is ideal for social science students, doctoral candidates, and early-career researchers looking to think outside the checkbox.

This volume serves as an essential resource for advanced graduate students, early-career faculty, and anyone seeking a deeper, more dynamic understanding of the philosophical and theoretical foundations of qualitative research in education. It emphasizes the idea that all research projects-regardless of discipline or method-are inherently shaped by philosophical and theoretical assumptions, many of which often go unrecognized. By bringing these assumptions to the forefront, the book encourages readers to critically examine the frameworks that underpin their inquiries.

Rather than presenting philosophy and theory as static tools to be applied, each chapter invites readers to engage with generative philosophical orientations and concepts. Topics such as epistemology, genealogy, posthumanism, and new materialism are explored by contributors who offer not prescriptive models but new possibilities for understanding and engaging with research phenomena. The volume also delves into feminist theory, diffractive methodologies for racial justice, immersive cartography, hauntology, and sonic methodologies, demonstrating how philosophical thinking can inspire fresh questions, methods, and insights.

Designed for those committed to reflective and socially responsive educational inquiry, this collection positions philosophy and theory as living, evolving resources. It equips readers to uncover and engage with the often-hidden assumptions that shape research, fostering a more thoughtful, creative, and impactful approach to qualitative inquiry.

This festschrift honours the work of Liz Stanley, whose scholarship has been highly influential in opening new paths in feminist research across the human sciences. Bringing together contributions from scholars shaped by her thinking, the volume reflects both on the intellectual reach of her work and on its continuing capacity to inspire feminist inquiry.

The chapters engage with key strands of Stanley's intellectual legacy, including feminist epistemologies, the auto/ biographical I, letters and correspondences, the epistolarium, and her concept of archigraphics as a way of opening the 'black box' of the archive. Through a wide range of studies, contributors explore her challenge to mainstream sociology, her distinctive approach to feminist research with texts, her foundational role in auto/ biography studies, her systematic analysis of letters and correspondences, and her pioneering work on archives, temporality, and the writing of history. Collectively, the contributions trace an intellectual lineage and demonstrate the enduring relevance and generative power of Stanley's scholarship across disciplines.

This volume is intended for scholars and postgraduate students in the social sciences and humanities, particularly those working in feminist theory, qualitative methods, archival studies, auto/ biography, and the sociology of knowledge.

This collection foregrounds the experiences, perspectives, and insights of emerging and established scholars who creatively and expansively approach the study of gender and sexuality through qualitative methodologies.

"Possibility and Statistics" (P.S.) is a rigorously ethical, mixed-method way of knowing that centers lived experience, assets, and human agency; treats oral narratives as primary data; and designs measures, tools, and dissemination practices to cultivate flourishing rather than manage risk. Ivory A. Toldson's Possibility and Statistics is more than a book about statistical methods; it is a profound and necessary intervention into the soul of education and social science. It is a methodological treatise and a deeply personal work of literary scholarship that redefines the purpose of data in a world saturated with it. By developing a new statistical language, Toldson demonstrates that the principles of possibility-care, context, and potential-can be as analytically rigorous as the principles of probability.

Possibility and Statistics introduces a new analytical toolkit; formula-driven methods designed to quantify hope. Metrics like the Overcoming Adversity Index (OAI), which measures success relative to context; the Potential Realization Quotient (PRQ), which quantifies achievement beyond statistical expectations; and the Resource Parity Index (RPI), which measures inequities in resources, give practitioners tangible tools.

Toldson crafts a powerful argument that the tools of statistics, so often used to document despair and predict failure, must be re-engineered to architect hope and cultivate human potential. The result is a work that is at once a rigorous academic text and a moral call to arms for researchers, educators, policymakers, and anyone who wields data that touches human lives.

Expert contributors argue that the future of digital social science lies in the synergistic integration of social science methodologies and technical expertise, oriented toward ethical outcomes.

Key topics covered include issues of governance, policy experiences, child development, and digital inequality and oppression. The Handbook ultimately underscores the urgent need for collaborative, cross-disciplinary knowledge to address complex societal challenges and shape responsible and ethical digital futures.

The Handbook of Digital Social Science is an essential read for scholars and students of various intersections of digital studies including ethics, engineering, business, entrepreneurship, criminology, public policy, public health, law, and sociology. It also provides valuable insights for digital social scientists, theorists, and methodologists interested in collaborative knowledge, interdisciplinary dialogue, and technical expertise.
