  • How Different Mixed-Mode Data Collection Approaches Impact Response Rates and Provision of Biomeasure Samples

    Open AccessTarek Al Baghal, Jonathan Burton et al.ARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly2025Referencias: 1

    Social surveys can be enriched with the collection of objective health measures, allowing new types of research in both health and social sciences. We experimentally tested three alternative designs for collecting survey responses and biomeasures within a longitudinal survey. In the nurse-administered design, a nurse conducts the survey and collects biomeasures in person. In the interviewer-first design, an interviewer initially attempts to carry…

  • How Do Survey Respondents Decide Whether to Consent to Data Linkage

    Open AccessJonathan Burton, Mick P Couper et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research2025Referencias: 34

    Linkages between surveys and administrative data provide an important opportunity for social and health research, but such linkages often require the informed consent of respondents. We use experimental data collection across five different samples to study how consent decisions are made. More reflective decision processes are associated with higher rates of consent, greater comprehension of the proposed data linkage, and greater confidence in th…

  • Teaching Shakespeare and Race

    Jonathan Burton, Jonathan W BurtonCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Shakespeare…2024

    This chapter asks Shakespeareans to begin with learning goals that advance diverse student ambitions, and with the question ‘Can I achieve this goal with a more creative use of a digital tool that my students are already using?’ It offers a set of ‘small teaching’ approaches to Shakespeare that draw upon pioneers in Culturally Responsive Teaching but also takes inspiration from the TikTok teens and Kpop Stans who are already changing the world. T…

  • The Effects of Personalized Feedback on Participation and Reporting in Mobile App Data Collection

    Open AccessAlexander Wenz, Annette Jäckle et al.ARTICLESocial Science Computer Review2020Citada por: 1Referencias: 3

    Offering participants in mobile app studies personalized feedback on the data they report seems an obvious thing to do: Participants might expect an app to provide feedback given their experiences with commercial apps, feedback might motivate more people to participate in the study, and participants might be more motivated to provide accurate data so that the feedback is more useful to them. However, personalized feedback might lead participants …

  • Propensity to consent to data linkage

    Open AccessEmanuela Sala, Gundi Knies et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2014Citada por: 13Referencias: 5

    When performing data linkage, survey respondents need to provide their informed consent. Since not all respondents agree to this request, the linked data-set will have fewer observations than the survey data-set alone and bias may be introduced. By focusing on the role that survey design features play in gaining respondents’ consent, this paper provides an innovative contribution to the studies in this field. Analysing experimental data collected…

  • Christopher Sly’s Arabian Night

    Jonathan BurtonARTICLEJournal for Early Modern Cultural…2014Referencias: 10

    This essay draws together Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and Kitāb ‘alf layla walayla, or The Arabian Nights, texts conventionally segregated by disciplinary protocols that group texts according to ideas of national or continental traditions rather than on the basis of common tropes or topoi. Each of these texts approaches similarly a common story type, in which a commoner wields the authority of a nobleman for a single day. Not only does …

  • Western Encounters with Sex and Bodies in Non-European Cultures, 1500–1750

    Jonathan BurtonCHAPTERRoutledge History of Sex and the…2013

    Michel Foucault’s landmark History of Sexuality (1976) has little to say about sexual acts and identities outside of Europe. In confining his study to Europe, Foucault sought to avoid universalizing gestures that might apply European categories of analysis to all cultures or measure non-European processes and progress along a timeline derived from European experience. Yet desire and sexuality rarely defer to geospatial partitions, and the period …

  • Correlates of Obtaining Informed Consent to Data Linkage

    Open AccessEmanuela Sala, Jonathan Burton et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research2012Citada por: 9Referencias: 20

    In the United Kingdom, in order to link individual-level administrative records to survey responses, respondents need to give their consent. Using an unprecedented set of respondent, interview, and interviewer characteristics derived from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) matched with an interviewer survey, this research investigates which characteristics influence consent to adding health and social security records to the survey respons…

  • Measuring ethnicity

    Jonathan Burton, Alita Nandi et al.ARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies2010Citada por: 62Referencias: 66

    Measuring ethnic identity in social surveys has traditionally been problematic, often using a single question and allowing the respondent to choose one category from a pre-defined list. In this paper we discuss the rationale for and limitations of measuring a complex and multi-dimensional concept with a simple, uni-dimensional question. We propose that operationalising ethnicity as multi-dimensional requires multiple questions to capture the comp…

    As a chaplain to the East India Company, Edward Terry went to Surat, India, in 1616. He joined the English ambassador Sir Thomas Roe in following the Mughal Emperor Jahangir on his travels south. An abridged version of Terry’s account was published by Samuel Purchas in 1625; the fuller A voyage to East-India featured more extended religious commentary. The passages here record Terry’s observations of natives at the Cape of Good Hope on the journe…

  • Duarte Lopes (fl. 1578–89)

    Open AccessAnia Loomba, Jonathan Burton et al.CHAPTERRace in Early Modern England2007

    The Portuguese merchant Duarte Lopes provided one of the earliest European descriptions of Central Africa. In 1578, he became the ambassador of Congo’s King Alvaro II to the pope and to Philip II of Spain. He argued for the Congo’s need for missionaries and for the advantages of free trade. His papers were published by Fillipo Pigafetta (1533–1604) in 1591, and remained one of the chief sources for information concerning central Africa up to the …

  • Richard Ligon (fl. 1647–50)

    A royalist who lost his fortune in the Civil War, Ligon fled in 1647 to Barbados, where he lived for three years, before falling sick and returning to England. Ligon’s interest in the religion of African slaves looks forward to the argument of Morgan Godwyn (also in this volume) for the conversion of slaves, while his account of the Indian “Yarico” was Steele’s source for his tale of “Inkle and Yarico” in The Spectator. Variously reimagined and e…

  • Herodotus (484–425? BCE)

    Open AccessAnia Loomba, Jonathan BurtonCHAPTERRace in Early Modern England2007

    Author of the first secular narrative history known to the Western world, Herodotus gathered his material through travels in North Africa and the Near East. Although The Histories became a source for later writers on monstrosity and barbarism, it is equally important as an example of comparative ethnography, focusing more on social practices than on physiological traits.

    The Dutch traveler Jan Huighen van Linschoten served for six years (1583-89) as bookkeeper to the archbishop of Portuguese Goa. His account of India was published in his Itinerario (1595-96), which was translated into German (1598), English (1598), Latin (1599), and French (1610). The Itinerario describes sea routes to the Indies and descriptions of the lands and peoples of Africa and India, including an early discussion of caste. Of particular i…

As a result, his commentary exemplifies the way in which competing modes of differentiating groups might coexist in ear…

    A curate, Edward Topsell wrote largely on religious themes, but his masterwork is The historie of foure footed beastes , which depicts both common animals and fantastic creatures such as gorgons, sphinxes, and unicorns. The collection draws on diverse sources including poetry and the scriptures as well as natural history.Topsell’s comparisons of the physical and libidinal features of African primates and black people anticipate later writings.

    In 1620 Richard Jobson accompanied an expedition of London entrepreneurs up the Gambia River. Although it did not help to fund future expeditions, The golden trade was the first account of the area in English and was published by Samuel Purchas in his Hakluytus Posthumus or Purchas his Pilgrimes. Jobson inaccurately proclaimed that the English were “a people who did not trade in [slaves].” His account compares Africans to animals and identifies t…
