Free Download Mads Møller T. Andersen, "Researching Creativity in Media Industries"
English | ISBN: 1666901695 | 2022 | 116 pages | PDF | 4 MB
In this book, Mads Møller T. Andersen examines the methodological challenges that arise when studying creativity and creative processes in media industries, arguing that the field of media studies still has much to learn about how these industries facilitate their own creative processes. Andersen introduces and utilizes a theoretical framework of five traditions in creativity to guide readers through five different methods of approaching and understanding the concept of creativity, exploring whether media scholars should abandon current, romantic understandings of creativity in favor of more progressive and nuanced definitions. Ultimately, Andersen considers and offers examples of how, as a discipline, we can design studies of creative processes that also address what we still don't know about creativity in these contexts. Scholars interested in media studies, cultural studies, and research methods will find this book particularly useful.

English | ISBN: 113809174X | 2019 | 214 pages | EPUB | 1295 KB
This book covers a wide range of contemporary methods for researching social problems and connects these approaches to the broader substance and theories of social problems.

For every method explored, there is a research example that fully reviews and illustrates the application of the particular method, before giving a full assessment of the method's strengths and weaknesses and latest developments. With chapters exploring survey interviews, in-depth interviews, narrative inquiry, institutional ethnography, participatory action research, auto-ethnography, Actor-Network Theory, experimental research, visual research methods, and research ethics,

Researching Organizations The Practice of Organizational Fieldwork

 
Researching Organizations The Practice of Organizational Fieldwork
Free Download Matthew Jones, "Researching Organizations: The Practice of Organizational Fieldwork"
English | ISBN: 1446257223 | 2014 | 240 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Although there are plenty of books that discuss the principles, the philosophy and the techniques of research in organisations, it is much harder to find information on what doing research in organisations actually involves in practice. Yet this is often one of the most challenging, but also most interesting, aspects of a study. Drawing on examples and debates from a broad range of disciplines (such as criminology, education and social anthropology as well management) Researching Organisations explores the issues that researchers may encounter when carrying out fieldwork in organisations. From getting in to an organisation at the start of the research to getting out and maybe back again at the end, the book offers systematic guidance to help researchers navigate the messy reality of fieldwork.

Researching Non-Heterosexual Sexualities
Free Download Constantinos N. Phellas, "Researching Non-Heterosexual Sexualities"
English | ISBN: 1138253189 | 2016 | 264 pages | EPUB | 1170 KB
After widespread neglect over many years, the study of human sexuality has recently come to the forefront of many of the most important debates in contemporary society and culture. This book addresses seriously the issue of how to improve the methodological basis of research into non-heterosexual sexualities, exploring the key question of what different methodological and theoretical uses of intersectionality contribute to our understandings of non-heterosexual sexualities. Bringing together research from the UK, USA, Europe and Australasia, this innovative collection rethinks traditional methodologies, creating new epistemologies and applying new approaches, whilst critically examining key issues, including communities, identities, relationships, sexualities, homosexual parenthood, fostering, civil marriage, and politics. As such, it will be of interest to researchers, scholars and students across the social sciences and health professionals.

The book uses a wide range of empirical and theoretical approaches to examine the difficulties, dilemmas and complexities surrounding research methodologies with particular groups. It emphasizes the importance of national and international perspectives in such discussions, and suggests innovative methodological procedures.
