Download or read book Deconstructing Doctoral Discourses written by Deborah L. Mulligan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies and challenges assumptions about the doctorate and the discourses associated with it. The editors and contributors subvert and transform the de facto assumptions that frame the ways in which 'the doctorate' is spoken and written, and thus underpin approaches to planning, conducting and evaluating doctoral research. Giving voice to doctoral students and supervisors, the book opens a pathway for their own stories: why students entered doctoral study, the understandings and experiences they gleaned from it, and the implications for their own character. The book questions what kinds of discourses help to construct contemporary doctoral research, and how these might be de- and reconstructed, and asks what doctoral study might look like in the future. Academics, students and practitioners alike will find an avenue into rigorous research design from reflective and insightful scholars who provide a voice for doctoral strategies for success.

Download or read book The Collaborative Body in Qualitative Research written by Bodies Collective and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Collaborative Body in Qualitative Research challenges normative philosophies that have frequently neglected the body’s place in research and then illustrates how the body is essential for all meaning making. By ‘voicing the body’, the first part of this rebellious book problematizes how the body is used/assessed, yet often silenced in academic writing. This book then fluidly moves to celebrating the body through discussing taboo topics like sex/sexuality in friendship, underwear (knickers), ageing, and death, as well as how a non-binary body moves in a heteronormative world. Through the lens of Bodyography, this book does research differently – illuminating how the body flourishes, excites knowledge, and is complicated when placed on a ‘screen’. This book celebrates a collaborative and arts-based approach. This book is a dialogue between The Bodies Collective, with dialogic resonance sections between each chapter and art pieces throughout. This book will encourage all scholars to do research differently. Anyone with a thirst to challenge normative practices in academia and who wants research to be inspiring and playful will fall in love with this book.

Download or read book Doctoral Education Research Based Strategies for Doctoral Students Supervisors and Administrators written by Lynn McAlpine and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-16 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of the academics who undertake the work of teaching and research is critical to the significance, status and relevance of our universities. There is widespread evidence that doctoral students are not being properly prepared for the changing face of higher education and that once they take up academic positions, they often experience many frustrations and tensions. This book, based on a four-year-long research program conducted by four academics and four graduate students, investigates the experiences of doctoral students, new academics and senior academics as they engage in their work related to doctoral education. Doctoral Education: Research-Based Strategies for Doctoral Students, Supervisors and Administrators offers research-based strategies for improving doctoral education in a non-technical and conversational way. Those strategies include learning to be a new supervisor alongside other academic work, developing an intellectual network during the doctoral journey, giving and receiving feedback on scholarly writing, and preparing for the oral defence. Also, based on research evidence, the book challenges taken-for-granted practices and policies surrounding doctoral education, including the gendered nature of disciplinary practices, the paradox of writing in doctoral education and the public oversight of more and more aspects of academic work. Intended for doctoral students, academics, staff and administrators, this book provides several perspectives on the topic of doctoral education and contains the actual voices of doctoral students and new academics to illustrate its discussion.

Download or read book Discourse In Educational And Social Research written by Maclure, Maggie and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER: 2004 AESA Critics' Choice Award "With wonderful clarity Maggie MacLure shows how deconstructionism opens new avenues of critical inquiry and understanding for educational researchers. In exposing the hidden, ideological side of terms like clarity, certainty, mastery, and relevance she allows us to see schooling and educational policy in new ways. In so doing she allows us to imagine classrooms as liberating, pedagogical places, as places where new forms of desire, knowledge, and learning take place" Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign This book is both practical and provocative. It demonstrates the insights and the challenges of a discourse-based orientation to educational and social research. Drawing on a variety of educational and social science 'texts' - including press articles, life history interviews, parent-teacher consultations, policy debates and ethnographies - the author shows how knowledge, power, identities and realities are constructed and problematised in discourse. The book also deals with research itself as discursive practice, examining the texts that qualitative researchers produce and consume: reports, monographs, journal articles. Practical examples are included for researchers and graduate students wishing to 'interrogate' their own data from a discourse perspective. The author develops a critical awareness of the researcher's role as writer/reader of texts. The book makes the case for 'discursive literacy' in research. While its primary allegiances are to poststructuralism and deconstruction, it draws from a wide range of disciplines, including interaction sociology, feminist ethnography, literary theory, critical discourse analysis and art history. What holds the book together is the persistent question: how to do educational research and social research within a 'crisis of representation' that has unsettled the relationship between words and worlds?

Download or read book Therapy as Discourse written by Olga Smoliak and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the premise that therapy can be understood, practiced, and researched as a discursive activity. Using varied forms of discourse analysis, it examines the cultural, institutional, and face-to-face communications that shape, and occur within, therapies that are discursively understood and practiced. By first providing an overview of commonalities across discursive therapies and research approaches, the authors discursively examine general aspects of therapy. Topics explored include subjectivity, psychological terms, institutional influences, therapeutic relationships, therapists’ ways of talking and questioning, discursive ethics, and assessment of therapeutic processes and outcomes. This book offers a macro-analysis of the conversational practices of a discursively informed approach to therapy; as well as a micro-analysis of the ways in which language shapes and is used in a discursively informed approach to therapy. This book will interest practitioners seeking to better understand therapy as a discursive process, and discourse analysts wanting to understand therapy as discursive therapists might practice it.

The SAGE Handbook of Organizational Discourse is the definitive text for those with research and teaching interests in the field of organizational discourse. It provides an important overview of the domains of study, methodologies and perspectives used in research on organizational discourse. It shows how discourse analysis has moved beyond its roots in literary theory to become an important approach in the study of organizations. The editors of the Handbook, all renowned authors and experts in this field, have provided an invaluable resource on the application, importance and relevance of discourse to organizational issues for use by tutors and researchers working in the field, as well as providing important reference material for newcomers to this area. Each chapter, written by a leading author on their subject, covers an overview of the existing literature and also frames the future of the field in ways which challenge existing preconceptions.

Download or read book Moving Towards Action written by Cameron C. Beatty and published by IAP. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving Towards Action: Centering Anti-Racism in Leadership Learning speaks to communities of people within and surrounding higher education and specifically, leadership educators, partners, researchers, administrators, and student affairs practitioners. The text expands thinking on the concepts of socially and racially just leadership education by unpacking the ways in which individual, structural, and systemic racism can be embedded in curricular, co-curricular, community-based, and unstructured leadership courses and programs. By centering how implicit and explicit racism are woven into leadership education, the text asks leadership educators to critically explore their own anti-racist approaches, reimagine their leadership program outcomes, and think more broadly about how leadership education can be more anti-racist and move towards action with equitable and just outcomes. Beatty and Manning-Ouellette assemble the text for all audiences to gain a deeper, more complex perspective on racism, anti-racist frameworks, and leaving leadership education better than when they arrived. The text is organized in such a way that leadership educators can take away new practices for navigating personal struggle, fragility, and resistance around topics of racism that occur in both curricular and co-curricular collegiate leadership programs. Beatty and Manning-Ouellette arrange the text in three sections: 1) Theoretical and Conceptual Considerations of Anti-Racism Approaches to Leadership Learning, 2) Innovations in Research & Practice, and 3) Moving Towards Action with contributions from leadership educators and scholars. Therefore, the text serves as an entry point to dialogue, think, and coalesce about anti-racism in leadership learning and explore what possibilities exist for us to move toward anti-racist praxis and pedagogy in leadership education. ENDORSEMENTS: "A critical scholarly contribution, Moving Towards Action: Centering Anti-Racism in Leadership Learning, unpacks, challenges, and explicates social justice and leadership education in higher education. Readers of this text should gain a better understanding of how systemic and structural racism manifests at colleges and universities, with a focus on leadership learning, education, and leadership programs. A timely text for our field." — Gene T. Parker, III, University of Kansas "Illuminating and important. Moving Towards Action: Centering Anti-Racism in Leadership Learning is the book leadership educators need to ready students and themselves for taking on the complex challenges of leading for liberation. By centering anti-racism pedagogy and praxis in leadership learning, the authors invite readers to work both personally and publicly towards equity and inclusion." — Julie E. Owen, George Mason University
