Interdisciplinary collaboration is an effective and satisfying way to provide health care services and learning across professions. This study aimed to explore interdisciplinary collaboration experiences amongst social work and allied health sciences graduate students and examined factors that contributed to their interdisciplinary collaboration. An interdisciplinary survey was conducted in a Mid-Atlantic public university. Analysis was conducted using hierarchical regressions from 112 health sciences and social work students. Students with positive attitudes toward interdisciplinary health care teams and part-time students compared to full-time students presented higher flexibility of interdisciplinary collaboration. Students with positive experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration demonstrated higher levels of interdependence, compared to those with no and negative experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration. Students in medicine were less likely to show interdependence, compared to those in social work. Professional disciplines and educators should put efforts in offering opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration practice and building curricula to promote positive attitudes toward interdisciplinary teamwork.

Briefs of Leading Cases in Corrections, Sixth Edition, offers extensive updates on the leading Supreme Court cases impacting corrections in the United States--prisons and jails, probation, parole, the death penalty, juvenile justice, and sexual assault offender laws. Each chapter contains an introduction to the topic area, making the book more user-friendly and a better source of succinct legal information than before. All cases are briefed in a common format to allow for comparisons among cases and include facts, relevant issues, and the Court's decision and reasoning. The significance of each case is also explained, making clear its impact on prisoners and corrections in general. The book provides students and practitioners with historical and social context for their role in criminal justice and the legal guidelines that should be followed in day-to-day correctional activities. Twenty-one cases have been added, including those in a new section on the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act.

Depuis le début du XXe siècle ; des chercheurs de confession musulmane ont choisi d'étudier la religion musulmane comme une pratique sociale liée à des éléments de culture et de civilisation dans des contextes particuliers ; avec les outils des sciences humaines et sociales. Ce fut d'abord le cas en histoire ; par exemple ; puis dans d'autres disciplines comme la philosophie ; la linguistique ou l'anthropologie. Ces intellectuels ont cherché à élaborer des concepts communs à divers champs et des théories scientifiques permettant de trouver de nouvelles réponses aux questions posées par les approches traditionnelles. Cette démarche ; qui marque une inflexion épistémologique majeure ; a visé à s'éloigner de toute influence mythique ou religieuse dans le cadre du travail académique. Ce changement épistémologique s'est effectué dans un mouvement de relations et de tensions entre ceux qui s'expriment en dehors des institutions religieuses et ceux qui cherchent à renouveler la compréhension de la société à travers la pensée religieuse. Il s'agit donc d'un processus complexe ; avec de fortes oppositions. Les enjeux sont importants dans la mesure où les méthodes d'acquisition des connaissances mettent en jeu des valeurs et que leur mise à distance dans un cadre scientifique à des fins d'étude ; peut apparaître comme une relativisation. Les ulémas, disposant de connaissances religieuses élaborées au sein de disciplines fixées il y a plus d'un millénaire, ont œuvré dans le but d'apporter des réponses sûres et précises aux questions posées par l'homme, sur lui-même et sur sa vie. C'est ce savoir, fondé sur un corpus considérable, qui a été partiellement mis en question. Les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales n'ont, en effet, pas les mêmes prémices lorsqu'ils abordent le thème de la religion, et ils n'utilisent pas non plus les mêmes méthodes d'interprétation et d'explication du livre sacré des musulmans. Comme en milieu juif ou chrétien, cette rencontre entre deux approches fondées sur des épistémologies différentes a suscité et continue encore à susciter des débats. Deux exemples seront donnés des nouvelles lectures du patrimoine islamique. La première se présente comme une démarche interne, celle d'un point de vue « islamique humaniste », elle a été revendiquée par Mohammed Abed El Jabiri et par Mohammed Arkoun. La seconde est davantage externe, analytique, elle a une dimension culturelle, herméneutique et politique et a été proposée par Nasr Hamid Abou Zayd.

This article conceptualizes the collective method to describe how 12 scholars worked collaboratively to study the effects of displacement following Hurricane Katrina. The collective method is defined as an integrated, reflexive process of research design and implementation in which a diverse group of scholars studying a common phenomenon-yet working on independent projects-engage in repeated theoretical and methodological discussions to improve (1) research transparency and accountability and (2) the rigor and efficacy of each member's unique project. This process generates critical discussions over researchers' and respondents' positionality, the framework of intersectionality, and applied ethics. Informed by feminist theoretical and methodological considerations of reflexivity, insider-outsider positionality, power relations, and social justice, the collective method can enhance scholars' standpoints regarding philosophical, ethical, and strategic issues that emerge in the research process.

Solution-oriented social science makes solving problems the object of social science, and working on other people's problems becomes the key driver of the problems to be solved. These solutions may be of relevance for everyday citizens or actors working in government, non-profits, or for-profits. Mark Western argues that approaching research in this way would influence how we choose problems, how we build teams and collaborate, and what methods, tools and techniques we employ.

The conventional conception of the linkage between science & policy making is based on a rational & positivist science model of decision making that creates a false dichotomy between allegedly legitimate rational research utilization & illegitimate political research utilization. However, the rational decision-making ideal bears little resemblance to the reality of actual policy formulation. Alternative decision models -- eg, the satisfice model, cost-benefit analysis of rationality, & the garbage can model -- produce a more realistic account of social science research utilization. Awareness that research is transferred to & becomes part of a discourse of action reveals that the contribution of science to policy making is less tangible & potentially more influential than usually assumed. 67 References.
