New Lenses on Intellectual Disabilities
This book gathers together recent international research in intellectual disability (ID), examining the diverse modes of existence that characterise living with intellectual disabilities in the 21st century. Ranging from people with no speech and little mobility who need 24-hour care, to people who marry or hold down jobs, this book moves beyond the typical person with ID imagined by public policy: healthy, with mild ID and a supportive family, and living in a welcoming community. The book is divided into three sections. The first, ‘A richer picture of people and relationships’, expands our understanding of different people and lifestyles associated with ID. The second section, ‘Where ...
Politeness in Professional Contexts
Much like in everyday life, politeness is key to the smooth running of relationships and interactions. Professional contexts, however, tend to be characterised by a plethora of behaviours that may be specific to that context. They include ‘polite’ behaviours, ‘impolite’ behaviours and behaviours that arguably fall somewhere between – or outside – such concepts. The twelve chapters making up this edited collection explore these behaviours in a range of communication contexts representative of business, medical, legal and security settings. Between them, the contributions will help readers to theorize about – and in some cases operationalize (im)politeness and related behaviours for – these real-world settings. The authors take a broad, yet theoretically underpinned, definition of politeness and use it to help explain, analyse and inform professional interactions. They demonstrate the importance of understanding how interactions are negotiated and managed in professional settings. The edited collection has something to offer, therefore, to academics, professionals and practitioners alike.
Routledge Handbook of Urban Public Space
Is it truly the "end" of public space? This handbook presents evidence that the answer is "no". In cities in different parts of the world, people still use public space to pursue activities of their choice. The book is divided into seven sections. The first section presents three emerging types of public space. Each of the subsequent five sections focuses on a type of activity: recreation, commerce, protest, living and celebration. These sections are international in scope, presenting cases of activities in Brazil, China, Colombia, DR Congo, Egypt, Finland, Germany, Libya, Taiwan, Turkey and the U.S. The closing section, composed of three chapters, presents research methods for studying public space. Graduate students, faculty members and researchers in social science, architecture, landscape architecture, geography and urban design will find the book useful for understanding, studying and designing urban public space.
Innovación, Transparencia y Comunicación en Grupos y Organizaciones
El impulso inicial de este libro obedece al reconocimiento agradecido hacia el profesor Sabino Ayestarán. Prácticamente todas las personas que han tenido la ocasión de relacionarse con el profesor Ayestarán han quedado gratamente impresionadas por la humanidad que destila. Con la relación hemos descubierto otras facetas como su laboriosidad, productividad, cuestionamiento crítico, afán de superación, por citar algunas. Podríamos decir, sin equivocarnos mucho, que el profesor Ayestarán ha dejado huella en muchas personas, y en concreto en muchos colegas de la universidad, tanto en el aspecto humano como en el académico. El libro es una obra colectiva y está basado en las elaboraci...
El grupo y sus conflictos
La dinámica de las relaciones entre los grupos es la esencia de la vida social e, incluso, hay quienes piensan que no son las relaciones entre los grupos, sino los conflictos que se producen en el marco de las relaciones grupales los que nos dan las claves de la propia dinámica social. En este sentido, no es descabellado pensar que los conflictos grupales aportan la energía necesaria para que tanto las organizaciones, como la propia sociedad muestren su actividad en constante evolución. Por ello, no se trata tanto de evitar los conflictos, como de manejarlos y darles un uso constructivo orientado al desarrollo de los propios grupos. El libro responde al esfuerzo de destacados especialistas que, fundamentalmente, desde el campo de la Psicología Social y de las Organizaciones, pero también desde la Educación y el Trabajo Social, reflexionan en torno a algunas de las cuestiones claves sobre la naturaleza de los desacuerdos en diversos grupos y en distintas organizaciones, así como las técnicas de negociación y las estrategias para la resolución de esos conflictos.
