The Routledge Handbook for Advancing Integration in Mixed Methods Research

The Routledge Handbook for Advancing Integration in Mixed Methods Research

This groundbreaking edited book The Routledge Handbook for Advancing Integration in Mixed Methods Research presents an array of different integration ideas with contributions from scholars across the globe. This handbook represents the first major volume that comprehensively discusses this topic of integration. Perhaps the most fundamental and longstanding question in mixed methods research is: How does one best integrate disparate forms of information to produce the best form of inquiry? Each of the 34 seminal chapters in this handbook accelerates the discussion of integration across a broad range of disciplines including education arts-based analyses and work in the Global South as well as special topics such as psychometrics and media research. Many of the chapters present new topics that have never been written about before and all chapters offer cutting-edge approaches to integration. They also offer different perspectives of integration – leading the introductory chapter to offer a new and comprehensive definition for integration as follows: referring to the optimal mixing combining blending amalgamating incorporating joining linking merging consolidating or unifying of research approaches methodologies philosophies methods techniques concepts language modes disciplines fields and/or teams within a single study. The concluding chapter offers a meta-framework that accounts for this definition and is designed to help scholars think more about integration in a way that represents a continuous dynamic iterative interactive synergistic and holistic meaning-making process. This handbook will be an essential reference work for all scholars and practitioners using or seeking to use mixed methods in their research.

Gender Construction in Children's Interactions A Cultural Perspective. A Special Issue of Research on Language and Social Interaction

Gender Construction in Children's Interactions A Cultural Perspective. A Special Issue of Research on Language and Social Interaction

This special issue examines gender construction by children in some of its rich cultural and contextual complexity and in some of its interactions with power. The first two articles are about preschool children's language. One examines preschoolers' socialization into Japanese-a language in which gender marking is inescapable and the other compares Mandarin-speaking preschoolers' language in Mainland China with that of English-speaking preschoolers in the United States. Dealing with middle-school aged children the next two articles deal with the influence of expertise and examine talk within a mixed-sex group of Latino children doing groupwork. The issue concludes with an epilogue commenting on the special issue and critically examining the problem of gender indexing. | Gender Construction in Children's Interactions A Cultural Perspective.

Sensing Salvation in Early British Methodism Accounts of Spiritual Experience 1735-1765

This book examines the spiritual experiences of the first British Methodist lay people and the language used to describe those experiences.

The Biographical Landscapes of Raphael Lemkin

The Biographical Landscapes of Raphael Lemkin

The book is the first biography of Raphael Lemkin to draw on a comprehensive body of research into Lemkin as a person and his background and will be of interest to both non-specialists and academics. Drawing on archival materials a nuanced description is provided of the ethnically mixed Belarusian-Polish-Jewish border region where Lemkin grew up and which shaped him clarifying at the same time some of the misinterpretations that have surrounded Lemkin’s life. Lemkin’s professional career and intellectual interests up to the time of his flight from Poland after the German aggression of 1939 are exhaustively described. In the latter part of the book the author poses among other things the question of how Lemkin’s activities in the United States were influenced by the experience of the first almost 40 years of his life. | The Biographical Landscapes of Raphael Lemkin

International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

Adopting a mixed-methods approach this book assesses the role of soft law as a technique to repress and prevent money laundering. The consequence of the combination of a non-traditional subject matter with the limitations of traditional international law instruments has meant that lawmakers seeking international solutions to the problems of money laundering have had to innovate. This book addresses two fundamental issues in the context of existing international and domestic responses to the problem of money laundering that have hitherto been neglected. These include the nature of the treaty obligations to criminalise money laundering and the role of soft law as a technique to regulate it globally. The book concludes that international legal harmonisation and approximation of domestic anti-money laundering law through soft law remains helpful in addressing this pressing problem. The book will be of interest to academics researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Financial Crime Anti-Money Laundering Law Regulation International Soft Law and Comparative Law. | International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

American Presidents and Israeli Settlements since 1967

American Presidents and Israeli Settlements since 1967

Tracing presidential administrations since Lyndon B. Johnson this book argues that the Trump administration's policy toward Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem is not an aberration but the culmination of over 50 years of American foreign policy. Under the Johnson administration the United States rhetorically supported the applicability of international law regarding Israeli settlements. However throughout the 1970s administrations did little to reverse the construction and expansion of settlements. Moreover presidents sent mixed signals regarding Israel's withdrawal from the occupied territories. The Israeli settlement movement received support when Reagan argued that settlements were not illegal. Since then American presidents have opposed settlement activity to various degrees but not based on their illegality. Rather presidents have described them as unwise unhelpful or obstacles to peace. Even when presidents have had opportunities to confront Israeli settlements directly domestic pressure and America's special relationship with Israel have prevented serious action beyond rhetoric and condemnation. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students of the history and politics of American foreign policy American relations with Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. | American Presidents and Israeli Settlements since 1967

Politics and the Airlines

Politics and the Airlines

First Published in 1965 Politics and the Airlines looks into the making of airline policy in five countries Australia Britain Canada India and the United States. It shows the part played by political parties ministers government departments regulatory bodies and the boards of management of airlines themselves. In four of the countries the major airlines are publicly owned and have been involved in the cut and thrust of political controversy between enthusiasts for public enterprise and their opponents. In those countries where publicly owned and privately owned airlines compete the politics of the airlines industry are particularly interesting. Dr Corbett’s study of these mixed regulated airlines industries deal with the subject in a new way and presents a general analysis. His analysis could equally well be applied to other industries which are at present constructed along the same lines. The discussion is presented against a background of the history of a fascinating industry and Dr Corbett maintains that the advantage of this form of industry lies in its political efficiency as much as in its attractions to consumers and employees. This is a must read for those interested in the history of aviation industry public policy and public administration.

Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Materials for Learning (1981) examines the ability of books and broadcasts to change lives. The combination of print radio television and group meetings – distance teaching – can transform education in developing countries. Effective distance teaching requires effective teaching materials and up to now there has been a lack of guidance about how to produce such materials and how to do so for different cultures. Materials for Learning aims to supply this need by suggesting guidelines for action and where evidence is mixed or lacking defining questions that still require answers. It is a practical book aimed at people actively involved in nonformal education and will be particularly useful for the developing world educators. The book looks first at how distance teaching can help with educational problems considers how adults learn and surveys problems of language and culture. It then considers the planning of distance teaching and looks in detail at the use of different media. There were also chapters on teaching numeracy and science at a distance and a discussion of the kind of support that can be provided for people studying at a distance. | Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Methodological Advancements in Social Impacts of Tourism Research

Methodological Advancements in Social Impacts of Tourism Research

This book offers a fresh perspective of on some of the cutting-edge methodological approaches being used among scholars conducting work on social impacts of tourism. These works are international in focus spanning across Europe (e. g. Austria Croatia Portugal Serbia Slovenia Spain and Turkey) and Asia (e. g. Hong Kong Iran Japan Malaysia Singapore Thailand and Turkey). The authors employ qualitative quantitative and mixed methods designs and some of the notable focus areas include comparative studies of residents’ perspectives of tourism (i. e. involving impacts of various forms of tourism and community children’s perceptions of tourism); statistical techniques such as multigroup invariance analysis and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis; and the employment of novel measurement tools such as the implicit association test involving residents’ implicit stereotypes of visitors from multiple countries and the utilization of the human-scale development to identify residents’ needs and satisfiers.

Covering Extended Reality Technologies in the Media

Covering Extended Reality Technologies in the Media

This book presents a study of the news coverage of extended reality technologies (virtual augmented and mixed reality; or XR) and how this news corresponds with the marketing of XR products. Focusing on a group of recently emerging technological products the book offers in-depth analysis of the news coverage of XR technologies and explores the overlap between news discourse and promotional discourse by comparing the way these products are framed in the news and their marketing materials. Using both quantitative and qualitative data it discusses the topics covered in XR news as well as the sources used and the specific framing techniques that appear in both XR news and marketing materials. In addition to these findings it also provides a set of frame categories that can be used by other researchers analysing the media coverage of emerging technologies. Ultimately arguing that the news represents XR in such a way that treats readers as consumers instead of citizens prioritising the interests of XR companies rather than news audiences this book will be of interest to students and researchers in media and communications discourse studies journalism PR and marketing and innovation studies as well as XR practitioners. | Covering Extended Reality Technologies in the Media

The Irish in Eighteenth-Century Bordeaux Contexts Relations and Commodities

The Irish in Eighteenth-Century Bordeaux Contexts Relations and Commodities

The Irish in Eighteenth-Century Bordeaux is a collection of ten essays by internationally known scholars of Irish British French and Atlantic History that covers the entire period in which there was a substantial Irish colony in Bordeaux (1689–1815). Among the topics discussed are the growth and decline of the community and the reasons for both the daily lives and assimilation of the Irish in Bordeaux the numerous activities and institutions in which the Irish were involved and the patterns of trade and the major commodities that were traded. This volume argues that the Irish community in Bordeaux was a product of contingent factors including religious bigotry and war but mostly because of commercial and educational opportunities that were not available in Ireland itself. This confessionally mixed Irish community made remarkable contributions to Atlantic European and global production consumption and trade especially in Bordeaux wine. The book will enlarge complicate and challenge our understanding of the eighteenth-century European and Atlantic worlds. Students and scholars who are interested in early modern immigrant and trading communities the impact of religious tolerance and intolerance the development of international trade networks and the production and meaning of commodities will find it invaluable. | The Irish in Eighteenth-Century Bordeaux Contexts Relations and Commodities

The Fall of Humankind and Social Progress Engagements with Emil Brunner

The Fall of Humankind and Social Progress Engagements with Emil Brunner

This book investigates the link between human capabilities and the preconditions for social progress through an engagement with the theological anthropology of Swiss theologian Emil Brunner (1889–1966). It places Brunner’s thought in dialogue with selected contributors from the contemporary social sciences examining approaches from economics sociology and philosophy as put forward by Gary S. Becker Christian Smith and Martha Nussbaum. This dialogic format helps to crystallise both agreements and differences and thus facilitate greater understanding between theology and other disciplines. Questions explored in the discussion relate to the emergence of human nature (the person) and the capabilities human beings possess as well as how these develop in a social context. The author focuses in particular on the impact of sin (the Fall) and considers the mixed blessings of economic progress. By providing pointers on how to bring back the human person in social disciplines the book hopes to contribute to improved understanding of the ethical dimension of social progress and human flourishing. It will be of particular interest to scholars of analytic and systematic theology but also scholars from economics and social sciences with openness to theological engagement. | The Fall of Humankind and Social Progress Engagements with Emil Brunner

Representing Schizophrenia in the Media A Corpus-Based Approach to UK Press Coverage

Representing Schizophrenia in the Media A Corpus-Based Approach to UK Press Coverage

This book presents a critical analysis of ways in which schizophrenia and people with schizophrenia are represented in the press. Interrogating a 15-million-word corpus of news articles published by nine UK national newspapers over a 15-year period the author draws on techniques from corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis to identify the most frequent and salient linguistic features used by journalists to influence and reflect broader public attitudes towards people with schizophrenia. In doing so this book: Evaluates the extent to which media representations are accurate and the extent to which they are potentially helpful or harmful towards people living with schizophrenia; Employs a bottom-up approach guided by linguistic patterns such as collocates and keywords identified by corpus software; Contributes to the de-stigmatisation of schizophrenic disorder by unveiling some of the widespread misconceptions surrounding it; Applies a mixed-methods approach in order to expose attitudes and beliefs found ‘between the lines’ – values and assumptions which are often implicit in the way language is used and therefore not visible to the naked eye. The findings of this monograph will be relevant to advanced students and researchers of health communication corpus linguistics and applied linguistics and will also carry importance for journalists and mental health practitioners. | Representing Schizophrenia in the Media A Corpus-Based Approach to UK Press Coverage

Questioning Planetary Illiberal Geographies Territory Space and Power

Questioning Planetary Illiberal Geographies Territory Space and Power

This book engages with current debates on ‘planetary urbanization’ and the nature of urban political theory but notably considers the implications of illiberalism on space territory and power. Such a focus is timely as illiberalism (across various settings and terrains) is producing and embedded in increasingly complex hybrid multi-scalar non-linear and globally networked flows. Through ordinary explorations drawn from diverse empirical case studies (China the United States India South Korea and Singapore) and via mixed methodologies the chapters in this volume seek to advance theory that moves beyond assumptions and certainties of what illiberalism is how and where it operates what it looks like and how it is experienced and embodied in different contexts offline and online. Chapters critically reflect upon themes like authoritarianism and the spatialization of illiberal power from the grassroots up to national governments and stress the need to move beyond normative understandings and portrayals of these terms and concepts. Presciently this volume looks back on recent history pre-dating the Covid-19 pandemic and some of the shocking political transformations now underway: as such the chapters offer a valuable lens to critically consider issues like public health policies surveillance and policing borders and bordering and activism and resistance. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Territory Politics Governance. | Questioning Planetary Illiberal Geographies Territory Space and Power

Expanding Ecological Approaches to Language Culture and Identity Politics and Power in South Korean Multicultural Youths’ Experiences

Expanding Ecological Approaches to Language Culture and Identity Politics and Power in South Korean Multicultural Youths’ Experiences

This book explores the process of identity (re)construction among mixed-heritage children within the context of globalization through the lens of its intersection with Korean society. The volume illustrates how these multicultural children mediate hybrid social spaces and examines their personal approaches toward translating resisting and transforming the entanglements engendered in those spaces. By tracing the trajectories of their identity (re)formations over several years the book details the paths these youths have taken to navigate diverse contact zones and cope with institutional regulatory mechanisms. It highlights that in the face of prevailing social stigma they actively involve themselves in political action in their day-to-day lives: they redefine what it means to be Korean and/but multicultural challenge simplistic membership boundaries and develop unique strategies to resist and subsist. These efforts to question the essentialist logic of authenticity demonstrate that these youths situated at the convergence of globalization migration inequality and political power represent a challenge to both national and global orders. Arguing that ecological perspectives need to direct greater attention toward the political as well as the posthumanist dimensions of language culture and identity this book is key reading for scholars in applied linguistics intercultural communication and Asian studies. | Expanding Ecological Approaches to Language Culture and Identity Politics and Power in South Korean Multicultural Youths’ Experiences
