Описание:
Mary Douglas’s innovative explanations for styles of human thought and for the dynamics of institutional change have furnished a distinctive and powerful theory of how conflicts are managed, yet her work remains astonishingly poorly appreciated in social science disciplines. This volume introduces Douglas’s theories, and outlines the ways in which her work is of continuing importance for the future of the social sciences. Mary Douglas: Understanding Human Thought and Conflict shows how Douglas laid out the agenda for revitalizing social science by reworking Durkheim’s legacy for today, and reviews the growing body of research across the social sciences which has used, tested or developed her approach.

Описание:
Marcel Mauss's writings on techniques and technology are at the forefront of an important anthropological and sociological research tradition, and they also highlight the theoretical and ideological challenges surrounding this field of study. A selection of Mauss's texts — including his major statements on methodology, on body techniques, on practical reason, on nation and civilisation, on progress, and so forth — are here translated and presented together for the first time, with a discussion of their context, impact and implications. This book will interest scholars and students dealing with the French sociological tradition, and also more generally those concerned with technology and material culture studies in archaeological,anthropological or contemporary settings.

Описание:
Featuring contributions from well-known international experts, this book addresses the methodological issues involved in administrative data research as well as the various concerns users face with administrative records such as issues of privacy, confidentiality, and legality. The book illustrates numerous real-world examples of administrative data research from various countries, culminating in a comprehensive guide to administrative data in statistical surveys. This historical and international perspective provides readers with a better understanding of the practical applications and approaches needed for improving the quality of surveys, controlling the cost of survey data collection, and integrating administrative data with other data obtained from surveys and censuses. This book also features detailed coverage on the advanced statistical techniques for the control of data quality and reduction in total survey error. The first part of the book focuses on the theory of total administrative records error and provides relevant practices case studies tied to the survey life-cycle, while the second part of the book features the technical issues of processing and linking administrative data with multiple sources of data in multimode data collection. Bayesian approaches are linked to real-world applications for the use of administrative data in surveys and censuses over the survey life cycle, and the relevance of how these cutting-edge techniques can affect administrative records research is illustrated in key sectors of health, economy, and education. In addition, these technological and statistical innovations are used to advance the systematic integration of administrative data, improve the survey frame, reduce nonresponse follow-up, and assess coverage error. Topical coverage includes: pandata systems to enhance survey and census systems; integration of survey and administrative data for statistical purposes; evaluation of the quality of administrative data; measurement of data quality in register-based statistics; cleaning and using administrative lists; assessing uncertainty; record linkage and assessment of date in health sciences; methods to improve small area estimation; administrative records for imputing nonresponse; Bayesian use of administrative records around census life cycle; use of administrative data in official statistics; application of administrative data in health science; using linking survey and administrative data to improve economic surveys; and administrative sources for censuses with demographic and social statistics.

Описание:
Analyzing the workings of boundary maintenance in the areas of anthropology, energy, gender, and law, Nader contrasts dominant trends in academia with work that pushes the boundaries of acceptable methods and theories. Although the selections illustrate the history of one anthropologist’s work over half a century, the wider intent is to label a field as contrarian to reveal unwritten rules that sometimes hinder transformative thinking and to stimulate boundary crossing in others.

Описание:
These days an increasing number of social anthropologists do not find employment within academia. Rather, many find jobs with commercial organizations or in government, where they run research teams and create policy. These scholars provide a much-needed social dimension to government thinking and practice. Anthropology and Public Service shows how anthropologists can set new agendas, and revise old ones in the public sector. Written for scholars and students of various social sciences, these chapters include discussions of anthropologists’ work with the Department for International Development, the Ministry of Defence, the UK Border Agency, and the Cabinet Office, and their contributions to prison governance.
