The Routledge International Handbook of Innovative Qualitative Psychological Research

The Routledge International Handbook of Innovative Qualitative Psychological Research

The contemporary world currently faces multi-level challenges including cross-border migration economic crises and myriad health issues including the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Within this wider context of ongoing fluidity transition and diversity qualitative research methodologies in psychology are rapidly evolving featuring innovative ways to examine the dynamic interrelation of societal and psychological processes. The Routledge International Handbook of Innovative Qualitative Psychological Research sets the stage for cutting-edge debates on how innovative approaches in qualitative research in psychology can contribute to tackling current challenges in our society. The handbook depicts innovation in qualitative research in psychology with respect to methodological approaches like visual methods arts-based research discursive and narrative approaches multimodal approaches and pluralistic/mixed methodology approaches. It addresses a wide range of contemporary challenging topics at the intersection of the psychological with the societal sphere like globalization climate change digitalization urbanization social marginalization gender and sexism youth cultures global mobility and global health risks. The book also includes contributions from various European countries across different fields of psychology like clinical health social educational environmental developmental organizational political and media psychology. This is a valuable text for anyone teaching qualitative research courses in psychology as well as in related disciplines like mental health education and sociology.

The Routledge International Handbook of Harmful Cultural Practices

The Routledge International Handbook of Harmful Cultural Practices

This handbook looks at cross-cultural work on harmful cultural practices considered gendered forms of abuse of women. These include female genital mutilation (FGM) virginity testing hymenoplasty and genital cosmetic surgery. Bringing together comparative perspectives intersectionality and interdisciplinarity it uses feminist methodology and mixed methods with ethnography of central importance to provide holistic grounded theorizing within a framework of transformative research. Taking female genital mutilation a topical contested practice and making it a heuristic reference for related procedures makes the case for global action based on understanding the complexity of harmful cultural practices that are contextually differentiated and experienced in intersectional ways. But because this phenomenon is enshrouded in matters of sensitivity and prejudice narratives of suffering are muted and even suppressed are dismissed as indigenous ritual or become ammunition for racist organizing. Such conflicted and often opaque debates obstruct clear vision of the scale of both problem and solution. Divided into six parts: • Discourses and Epistemological Fault Lines• FGM and Related Patriarchal Inscriptions • Gender and Genitalia • Female Bodies and Body Politics: Economics Law Medicine Public Health and Human Rights • Placing Engagement Innovation Impact Care • Words and Texts to Shatter Silence Comprised of 24 newly written chapters from experts around the world this book will be of interest to scholars and students of nursing social work and allied health more broadly as well as sociology gender studies and postcolonial studies. | The Routledge International Handbook of Harmful Cultural Practices
