What’s the Fucking Point of This?’
Quantitative methods (QM) are characterised as ‘hard to teach’ and often marginalised in undergraduate Sociology curricula particularly in the UK, due to many factors, including students’ attitudes towards numbers. This can lead QM to be viewed by students as not mainstream Sociology. This article argues that QM can support Sociology graduate futures due to clear transferable skills. But QM must be taught in a way that does not ‘trigger’ students…
Being the Chosen
Being the Chosen explores Christian fundamentalism in the USA, focusing particularly on the belief system of Protestant fundamentalists. It establishes the key characteristics of the Protestant worldview, investigating the degrees to which these are adhered to amongst different groups and how such belief systems are constructed and reinforced through everyday life. By presenting rich empirical material, Being the Chosen sheds light on the manner …
Risks, Identities and the Everyday
We know very little about how people define risk (Tulloch and Lupton 2003, 16). Yet, interest in risk factors contributing to violence continues to be high as professionals search for tools to identify those ‘at-risk’ and seek empirically based intervention strategies that might reduce violent behaviour (Pettit 2004, 194). Risk assessment is however, an inexact science and the methods used still contain serious shortcomings (Doyle and Dolan 2002;…
I’m not a quants person’; key strategies in building competence and confidence in staff who teach quantitative research methods’
Initiatives, like the UK ESRC’s RDI/CI programmes and the Q-Step Centres, have a long-term aim of addressing the well-documented decline in the pool of academics able and willing to teach quantitative methods (QM). However, these initiatives will take time to make an impact; therefore, the upskilling of current staff is a vital strategy if we want to maintain QM in curricula. This paper draws on findings from the ESRC RDI project, ‘No More Pointy…
Ethnography in Social Science Practice
In this chapter, I will focus upon issues relating to accessing and conducting research within the institutional setting of the prison.1 It will discuss particular issues raised in conducting prison research in general and then will go on to discuss the specific dilemmas faced in my particular research. The chapter ends with a reflexive review of the research process
Ageing Gay Men
One of the aims of this article is to look at the contribution that has been made by the sociology of embodiment to the study of older people. Researchers within this field have pointed to the ways in which negative perceptions of ageing bodies reflect attitudes toward older people and are factors leading to their marginalization within many contemporary Western societies. We hope to develop this idea further by investigating attitudes of gay men…
