This document summarizes session 8 of a geography course. It discusses the format of an upcoming key concepts test, an assignment where students will take photos on a chosen theme and interview each other, and an ethics exercise analyzing the ethical considerations of zoos. For the next class, students are asked to complete ecological and slavery footprint quizzes and reflect on the factors impacting their scores. In small groups, they will also discuss the ethical reasons for and against zoos, considering questions about human-nature relationships and how right and wrong are defined regarding animal institutions.
Ppt literature review
This document provides a literature review on the topic of ageism. It summarizes an article titled "The Age of Ageism" which discusses how prejudice against older people is increasing as the population ages. The review outlines the article's thesis on the need to address age prejudice, its objectives to improve lives of older people, and sources used including 28 total references. It also notes that while much has been learned, further research is still needed on theoretical and empirical work around ageism.
Ethnography
Ethnography is defined as the observation and study of human cultures and involves learning from people by observing their behaviors and interactions in their natural social and cultural contexts. It was invented in 1915 by Bronislaw Malinowski who spent three years living with and observing the Trobriand Islands people of New Guinea, establishing the modern practice of ethnographic fieldwork. The key aspects of ethnography include preparing for and conducting field studies through observation and interviews, analyzing the collected data, and reporting the findings to provide insights into the people, activities, and cultures being studied.
Sociocultural methodology ethics
This document discusses sociocultural methodology and ethics in research. It covers learning objectives about research methods at the sociocultural level, including participant observation, interviews, and case studies. It also discusses ethical considerations in sociocultural research. Examples of sociocultural methodology are described, including Milgram's famous obedience study from 1961 that investigated obedience to authority figures. Questions are provided about Milgram's study and its methodology, strengths, limitations, and ethics. Possible portfolio topics are suggested applying understandings of social psychology to explain actions of Nazi executioners.
Grev 721 enthography presentation
Ethnography is defined as "the work of describing a culture." Ethnographers conduct field research through observation in natural settings to understand how a culture functions. They aim to understand how learning occurs and how communities are constructed from the perspectives of participants. Data collection strategies involve observing everyday occurrences for long periods of time and thinking like the people being observed. Notes from fieldwork should include time, date, topic, page number, sensory impressions, personal responses, and questions. Analysis begins by reading notes to identify hypotheses or themes, and may also include content analysis, typologies, sociograms, and metaphors. Online ethnography allows studying online social media and reaching diverse populations across distances.
Sociocultural loa principles
This document outlines three principles of sociocultural level of analysis:
1) Humans have an innate need to belong and be part of social groups, as Aristotle noted that humans are social animals.
2) Culture, defined as the norms and values of a society, influences human behavior. Cultural legacies persist over generations and shape attitudes.
3) Humans have a social self that reflects their group memberships, which define their identities.
Ethnography research 1
This document provides an overview of ethnographic research methods. It discusses what ethnography is, how it is conducted, and its relevance. Specifically, it defines ethnography as the systematic study and documentation of human activities through immersion and observation without prior interpretation. It outlines the typical steps of an ethnographic study: preparation, field study, analysis, and reporting. Key aspects covered include collecting qualitative data through techniques like interviews, observation, and artifacts. The document also discusses principles of ethnography like holism and studying people in their natural environments. Examples of ethnography uses and some advantages and disadvantages are provided.

The document also discusses some principles of ethnography, including a preference for natural data collection over experiments, understanding meanings from participants' perspectives, and acknowledging the researcher's role in knowledge production.
Socratic approach of teaching
The document summarizes the Socratic method of teaching, which originated with Socrates and involves questioning students to help them think critically and uncover their own misunderstandings. There are two main types of the Socratic method - the classic method focuses on defining basic concepts through short answers, while the modern method leads students to deeper knowledge through more questions. A key part of Socrates' approach was conducting dialogues, as exemplified in Plato's writings, where he would ask probing questions to expose inconsistencies in people's beliefs. Today, the Socratic method is used through Socratic seminars, where students lead discussions about a text through questioning each other under the facilitation of the teacher.
20 Years of Applied Ontology
This document discusses the emergence of applied ontology as an interdisciplinary area over the past 20 years.

Choosing STEM careers: The Dialectical Discourses of 21st century Indian women
This document summarizes a study on the cultural discourses influencing career choices for Indian women in STEM fields. The researchers conducted interviews with 30 female college students in India to identify themes in their discussions of career choice. They found that women navigate the tension between pro-technology and anti-technology cultural views. Family also plays a key role as a knowledge resource, influencing choices in ways aligned with social perceptions. While autonomy is desired, pragmatism and social status take priority over individual interests for many participants. The study aims to further understanding of cultural influences on career paths and representations of women in STEM globally and nationally.

Between my mother and the big brother: Israeli adolescents’ views of
heroes and celebrities
Yaron Girsh*
Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel
(Received 9 April 2013; accepted 7 January 2014)
Sociological interest in popular culture has contributed much to our understanding of
heroes and celebrities as promoted by the media in a macro-cultural sense. However,
knowledge of how individuals interpret these processes and the characters promoted
thereby is lacking. Based on 44 group interviews with Jewish adolescents in 12 Israeli
high schools, this study explores youth attitudes toward heroes and celebrities,
including how they are differentiated from one another, and the cultural, social, and
personal meanings associated with them. In contrast to prevalent social conceptions,
and offering a differing focus from that of previous research, this article argues that the
characters promoted by the media have little meaning for adolescents. Moreover,
adolescents view celebrity worship as a phenomenon that threatens one’s identity. A
few celebrities do gain the title of hero, however, thus shifting the traditional
dichotomy between hero and celebrity toward a more nuanced position on the
continuum. These findings undermine the moral panic accompanying celebrity
worship and the place of celebrities in adolescents’ lives, and challenge the analytical
hero-celebrity dichotomy.
Keywords: adolescence; celebrity; expressive individualism; heroes; popular culture;
youth
Introduction
Celebrity is a modern idea, described as a symptom of the secular malaise of an age
devoid of heroes. Based on 44 semi-structured interviews with 132 Israeli-Jewish
adolescents from various religious, socioeconomic, and geographical backgrounds, this
study attempts to sketch their attitudes and ideas regarding heroes and celebrities, and to
question their place, influence, and the possible meanings in their lives.
The study contributes to the sociology of youth and the sociology of culture by
expanding our knowledge of how adolescents in late modernity craft their identity in the
context of popular consumer culture and the models and values that it offers. I begin by
illustrating the research sample and the method used for analyzing the data. I then review
the literature concerned with the concepts of heroes and celebrities, and debate on the
possible influences of media and celebrities. Israeli youth is briefly profiled in order to fix
the specific cultural and social arena in which the study takes place. The Results section
highlights the main themes arising from the interviews, followed by a Conclusion
presenting the key implications of the study.

Grounded theory is by far the most popular technique for qualitative data analysis. It is widely used in almost all social science disciplines including education, evaluation research, nursing, and sociology. It focuses on generating theoretical ideas from the data. The approach emphasises the systematic discovery of theory from data by using constant comparison method and theoretical sampling.Feminist informed research ethics methodology in international relations

**Weaving oxford
This document discusses the concept of "knowledge weaving" as a transdisciplinary method for connecting different fields of study. It involves stretching imagination to build new ways of knowing and creating communities of shared understanding. Under pressures of global academic restructuring, knowledge production must address multiple audiences with limited control. The digital environment further complicates knowledge by morphing and funding information in new ways. Transdisciplinary work requires engaging a diversity of perspectives without abandoning commitments or objects of study. It also means attentiveness to varying levels of detail across disciplines.
Qualitative techniques - incomplete *DRAFT*

Euthyphro Interpretative Essay
This document discusses potential interpretive pitfalls when analyzing the Old Testament, according to Andrew E. Hill's book A Survey of the Old Testament. Some key pitfalls mentioned are: not understanding the Bible was originally written in other languages and cultures, not letting the biblical text speak for itself, failing to recognize one's own presuppositions, and ignoring the original author's intended message in favor of how the interpreter wants to use the text.

Here are some examples from the issues and topics I'm familiar with that reflect different models of science communication:
- Climate change skepticism reflects the deficit model, with a view that public concerns could be addressed by providing more scientific facts and evidence.
- Vaccine hesitancy reflects the social contextualist model, with perceptions influenced by social networks and issues of trust in institutions.
- GMO labeling debates reflect the lay expertise model, as the public draws on personal experience shopping for groceries and preferences around food.
- City planning issues around parks or transportation reflect public engagement models, as these topics directly impact people's daily lives and involve tradeoffs the public can reason about.
The factors that determine which model is used

ISBE Doctoral Day for slideshare.pptx
This document outlines three sub-projects that analyze gendered constructions of entrepreneurship across online spaces: 1) Mapping visual representations of entrepreneurial masculinities and femininities, 2) Unpacking representations of entrepreneurial advice online, and 3) Analyzing the journey of a popular female entrepreneurial image. The researchers trace images and texts across platforms to understand how entrepreneurship is gendered. They discuss challenges of reflexively analyzing online images and platforms, tracing as an ongoing process, and using a montage approach. The second sub-project analyzes entrepreneurial advice through a framework of critical public pedagogy and examines how advice shapes subjects according to capitalist norms in a gendered way. Preliminary findings suggest advice constructs entrepreneurship

Qualitative research with online text and images
This document discusses qualitative research methods for analyzing online text and images. It describes the author's journey across different methodological approaches in human resource management, identity and diversity, and entrepreneurship research. These have included digital methods like tracking online data and trawling websites, as well as visual analysis techniques. Challenges of online research are noted around data volume, authenticity, and publishing multimodal findings. Future developments may involve more socially distanced research and combining digital and traditional methods as data becomes more complex, ephemeral and multimodal.
New directions for qualitative research
This document discusses the need for new directions in qualitative research methods. It argues that traditional qualitative research has become formulaic and fails to address important issues like reification of data and lack of consideration of concepts like temporality and materiality. The document then explores potential new directions, including personal reflection on one's research, developing method guides, and using creative and digital methods. It provides an example research project that maps across digital spaces and combines visual and semiotic analysis. Finally, it stresses that doctoral researchers should challenge assumptions, experiment with different knowledge generation techniques, and focus on methodology.
Web Based Images
This document provides an overview of a research project analyzing web-based images of entrepreneurs. It discusses using a Combined Visual Analysis methodology to examine images from Google Image searches and stock image libraries. The analysis involves categorizing images, analyzing composition, semiotics, gaze and gesture. Preliminary conclusions found themes of masculinity reinforced in male images but adopted in female images, with stock images predominating. Challenges discussed include volume of data, platformization, and ethics. Key advice is to explore visual representations, notice stock image use, discuss ethics, and contribute seriously while having fun.
Young workers and generational stereotypes
This document discusses generational stereotypes about young and older workers. It notes that while "young" and "old" are constructed categories in the labor market used to exclude workers, both groups face similar means and measures of exclusion based on chronological age. The document also examines how generations are defined but debates the evidence for lasting differences between birth cohorts. It concludes by calling for future research to better understand stereotypes, intersectional experiences, age as a competition, and the impact of COVID-19 across age groups.
What happens when research goes online
This document provides an introduction to a keynote presentation about reimagining research in a digital age. It discusses how conducting research essentially involves extracting and abstracting meaning from data. When research moves online, issues like authenticity, hybridity, multimodality, temporality and sociomateriality must be critically engaged with. There are also practical challenges to consider regarding research ethics, skills, resources, and managing mixed methods. The document provides resources for conducting qualitative research on various digital platforms and methods.

K pritchard for oxford brookes 23 apr15
This document provides an overview of a research seminar on age and work. It discusses several topics:
1) Generations are socially constructed cohorts that shape values and attitudes. Debates often conflate generations with age groups and present differences as natural rather than constructed.
2) Discussions of the "missing million" unemployed youth and the "missing million" unemployed older workers position different age groups in competition over limited jobs and resources.
3) Visual analyses of online news and stock photos reveal gendered discourses of ageing, with older men typically depicted in command roles and younger women as the focus of attention.
The seminar explores how notions of age and age identities are constructed online
Bam event research on line
Part of the British Academy of Management Research Methods SIG 'Sharing our Struggles' series.
The increased use of the Internet, social media and other virtual sites for discussing and accomplishing work and organization raises both new possibilities and new challenges for conducting organizational research. We have the opportunity to view work in a different way, to access the previously inaccessible and to gain insight into virtual organization through the utilisation of on-line research methods but we still know very little about how we might effectively and usefully do this. In this workshop speakers will discuss their own specific experiences of on-line research, revealing both their successes and the issues that arise.
