"The methodological needs of environmental studies are unique in the breadth of research questions that can be posed, calling for a textbook that covers a broad swath of approaches to conducting research with potentially many different kinds of evidence. Fully updated to address new developments such as the effects of the internet, recent trends in the use of computers, remote sensing, and large data sets, this new edition of Research Methods for Environmental Studies is written specifically for social science-based research into the environment. This revised edition contains new chapters on coding, focus groups, and an extended treatment of hypothesis testing. The textbook covers the best-practice research methods most used to study the environment and its connections to societal and economic activities and objectives. Over five key parts, Kanazawa introduces quantitative and qualitative approaches, mixed methods, and the special requirements of interdisciplinary research, emphasizing that methodological practice should be tailored to the specific needs of the project. Within these parts, detailed coverage is provided on key topics including the identification of a research project; hypothesis testing; spatial analysis; the case study method; ethnography approaches; discourse analysis, mixed methods; survey and interview techniques; focus groups; and ethical issues in environmental research. Drawing on a variety of extended and updated examples to encourage problem-based learning and fully addressing the challenges associated with interdisciplinary investigation, this book will be an essential resource for students embarking on courses exploring research methods in environmental studies"--

"The Ghost Reader: Recovering Women's Contributions to Media Studies offers a fresh perspective on the intellectual history of the field of media studies, a broad scholarly field that encompasses the interdisciplinary and overlapping fields of media studies, cultural studies, and communication studies. By recovering the work of the diverse group of women who labored at the margins of media studies as it took shape during the formative years of communication research between the 1930s and the 1950s, and providing scholarly contexts for this work, The Ghost Reader shows that "intersectional considerations" were key modes of engagement for intellectuals, academics, and activists who happened to be women. They did so decades before feminist perspectives were reintegrated into histories of the field."--
"Many scholars have critiqued the neocolonial assumptions embedded in global development agendas. These often focus on the bodies and lives of poor, racialized adolescent girls in the global south as ideal sites for intervention based on these girls' potential to multiply investment, interrupt intergenerational poverty, and predict economic growth. Girls in Global Development presents case studies from established and emerging scholars to collectively theorize and examine the concept of "Girls in Development" (GID), a distinctive way of approaching notions of girls and girlhoods in locations around the globe, at various points in history, through a critical feminist lens"--
In der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung waren mittelständische Familienunternehmen stets männerdominiert, Unternehmerinnen an der Spitze galten als Randerscheinung. Dabei lag der Frauenanteil bei Selbstständigen im Verlauf des gesamten 20. Jahrhunderts bei über 20 Prozent. Inzwischen ist das Interesse von Forschung, Politik und Medien an Unternehmerinnen stark gewachsen, ihre Leistungen in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart werden zunehmend gewürdigt. Meist wird jedoch übersehen, dass Frauen schon immer maßgeblich zum Erfolg von Familienunternehmen beigetragen haben, selbst ohne direkt als Unternehmerin in Erscheinung zu treten. Der vorliegende Band eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf die unterschiedlichen Rollen von Frauen als Tochter, Ehefrau, Mutter, Witwe und Unternehmerin. Anhand von Fallbeispielen aus verschiedenen Branchen und Epochen zeigen elf Aufsätze, welchen maßgeblichen Einfluss Frauen seit jeher in Familienunternehmen hatten. Die Beiträge verbinden unternehmens-, gender-, sozial- und kulturhistorische Ansätze, um die vielfältigen Rollen von Frauen in Unternehmen eingehender zu beleuchten
