Crafting Ethnographic Fieldwork Sites Selves and Social Worlds

Crafting Ethnographic Fieldwork Sites Selves and Social Worlds

Through a series of case studies this book provides an understanding of the practice of ethnographic fieldwork in a variety of contexts from everyday settings to formal institutions. Demonstrating that ethnography is best viewed as a series of site-specific challenges it showcases ethnographic fieldwork as ongoing analytic engagement with concrete social worlds. From engagements with boxing and nightlife to preschooling and migratory encampments portrayed is a process that is anything but a set of pre-packaged challenges and hurdles of simple-minded procedural tropes such as entrée rapport and departure. Instead ethnography emerges as what it has been from its beginnings: a rough-and-ready analytic matter of seeking understanding in unrecognized and diverse fields of interaction. Crafting Ethnographic Fieldwork will appeal to scholars and students across the social sciences with interests in the practice of participant observation and related questions of research methodology. | Crafting Ethnographic Fieldwork Sites Selves and Social Worlds

Fearless Leadership Overcoming Reticence Procrastination and the Voices of Doubt Inside Your Head

Fearless Leadership Overcoming Reticence Procrastination and the Voices of Doubt Inside Your Head

The intent of this book - the author's goal for you — is to understand the baseless underpinnings of almost all our fears. You read that correctly - almost all our fears - and therefore to discard them. The author has expertly coached leaders and managers in the discovery of examination of elimination of and sustained freedom from fears. We all know people who are charming and articulate but flounder on a stage addressing colleagues; musicians who master intricate scores but can’t play the basics when asked to solo; athletes who choke; business people who are strong until it comes time to ask for the business; people who consistently feel like imposters. We are far better at dealing with external tangible fears than our own imagined ones. We purchase insurance watch the safety demonstrations know how to use the Heimlich Maneuver. But those are responses to rare and often never-occurring emergencies. Our mythical and monstrous fears are daily dark clouds masking our talents no less than depression or guilt. It’s time to realize there is no monster under the bed never has been and never will be without having to check nightly and without needing a weapon on the night table. Picture yourself freed of restraints that you could never properly articulate and were loath to discuss but which you carried on your shoulders constantly a dead weight nonetheless. Essentially this book is for entrepreneurs business owners and those who seek a better position for themselves and their talents but who procrastinate delay and hang back. It’s about isolating and overcoming the internal fears that we generate every day like a geyser triggered by time events or shifts in the environment. We are our own worst enemies and we ignore the practical remedies to escape fear because we use our energies instead on blaming everyone else. | Fearless Leadership Overcoming Reticence Procrastination and the Voices of Doubt Inside Your Head

Drawing on insights from Critical Migration and Border Studies Critical Security Studies Critical Humanitarianism and Human Rights Studies and Organisational Sociology the book will generate interest to multiple disciplines including Sociology International Relations Politics Anthropology European Studies and Geography. | Humanitarianism Human Rights and Security The Case of Frontex
