Book Description
Los estudiantes y profesores que hoy en día han de bregar y medrar en el sistema educativo se encuentran presos de una contradicción. Por un lado están bajo la exigencia de ser innovadores en los resultados que producen y por los que serán juzgados: desde proyectos de investigación hasta artículos para revistas profesionales, pasando por trabajos de fin de grado y tesis de máster y doctorales. Pero, por otro lado, el sistema pedagógico no fomenta la tan deseada originalidad. Nuestra educación formal prima la acumulación y repetición de saber sobre el «saber hacer». En este libro doce científicos sociales tratan de poner sistema educativo y científico a la par con sus propias exigencias. Para lograrlo los autores han huido del estilo recargado y distante propio del Manual de Métodos al uso. Por el contrario, con un lenguaje llano y cercano, comparten con el lector los trucos de su oficio. El libro cuenta con tres secciones. La primera agrupa los capítulos dedicados a presentar herramientas fundamentales: escribir, leer, búsqueda biblio-gráfica y de datos, y preparación proyectos de investigación. En la segunda y tercera parte, cada investigador narra cómo llevó a cabo investigaciones concretas con datos cualitativos, cuantitativos o ambos. En definitiva, se trata de un libro de gran interés tanto para estudiantes como para docentes y profesionales de la investigación en ciencias sociales y humanas.

A Matter of Time
Author: Shashi Deshpande
Publisher: The Feminist Press at CUNY
ISBN: 1558619356
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
One morning, with no warning, Gopal, respected professor, devoted husband, and caring father, walks out on his family for reasons even he cannot articulate. His wife, Sumi returns with their three daughters to the shelter of the Big House, where her parents live in oppressive silence: they have not spoken to each other in 35 years. As the mystery of this long silence is unraveled, a horrifying story of loss and pain is laid bare—a story that seems to be repeating itself in Sumi's life. This multigenerational story, told in the individual voices of the characters, catches each in turn the cycles of love, loss, strength, and renewal that becomes an essential part of the women's identities. A Matter of Time reveals the hidden springs of character while painting a nuanced portrait of the difficulties and choices facing women—especially educated, independent women—in India today.

Critical CALL – Proceedings of the 2015 EUROCALL Conference, Padova, Italy
Author: Francesca Helm
Publisher: Research-publishing.net
ISBN: 1908416289
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 598
Book Description
The theme of the conference this year was Critical CALL, drawing inspiration from the work carried out in the broader field of Critical Applied Linguistics. The term ‘critical’ has many possible interpretations, and as Pennycook (2001) outlines, has many concerns. It was from these that we decided on the conference theme, in particular the notion that we should question the assumptions that lie at the basis of our praxis, ideas that have become ‘naturalized’ and are not called into question. Over 200 presentations were delivered in 68 different sessions, both in English and Italian, on topics related specifically to the theme and also more general CALL topics. 94 of these were submitted as extended papers and appear in this volume of proceedings.

Gender Vertigo
Author: Barbara J. Risman
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300080834
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Just as every society has an economic and political structure, so too every society has a gender structure. Barbara Risman's original research on single fathers, married baby boom mothers, and heterosexual egalitarian couples and their children, reported in this intriguing book, weaves together qualitative and quantitative data from surveys, interviews, and observation. Risman shows how gender as a social structure affects individuals, organizes expectations attached to social positions, and becomes an integral part of social institutions. She provides empirical evidence that human beings are capable of enduring and affective intimate relationships without gender as the central organizing mechanism. The data also strongly indicate that men and women are capable of changing gendered ways of being throughout their lives. In her analysis of nontraditional families, Risman finds that gender expectations can be overcome if couples are willing to flout society and risk "gender vertigo." Most children of such families adopt their parents' beliefs about gender, but they do struggle with the contradictions between parental ideology and folk knowledge and expectations in peer relationships. The author argues that we can create a just society only by creating a society in which gender is an irrelevant category for social life--a post-gender society.
