Teaching Mindfulness to Teens as a Path of Empowerment
Teaching Mindfulness to Teens as a Path of Empowerment is a teacher-level perspective on mindfulness instruction that has systems-level implications. Mindfulness instruction is framed as an ally to social justice and antiracist practice; and as a path of empowerment, warriorship, self-healing, and collective transformation. In stand-alone essays that are rich with personal stories and student reflections, Meghan LeBorious lays the groundwork for a thriving mindfulness classroom that is highly engaging, rigorous, student-centered, and antiracist. She inspires readers to dig deep, imagine what is possible, and collaborate in making the world we want to live in, one in which every student is seen, supported, valued, and inspired; and is armed with the tools they need to step into their full power and potential.

Building on the success of the first edition, this thoroughly revised and expanded edition explores (1) areas of general agreement from previous research; (2) areas of conflicting results and unexplored questions; (3) the relative roles of theory, data availability and empirical analysis in explaining gaps in our knowledge; and (4) what must be done to improve our knowledge and extend the literature.

These candid accounts describe what can go wrong when pioneering new genres of research and how such difficulties can be overc...
Web Surveying Design and Implementation
Web surveys refer to the multiple methods researchers use to administer surveys online. As communication and information technologies have evolved, there have been exciting changes to the way one can conduct surveys. In particular, the use of Internet-based surveys delivered via broadband connect, mobile Internet, and text message has become commonplace in the toolbox of survey researchers. However, the introduction of new methods and technologies has come with as many challenges as solutions in primary data collection. In this entry, the reader will find an overview of the state of survey methodology with a specific and pointed focus on the web survey design and implementation. This entry provides background on the path leading to questions about web-based survey data collection, what empirical research has shown us, the challenges associated with transitioning from other modes of survey data collection to the web, and the use of various web-based platforms such as social media in recruiting subjects. In addition, this entry discusses the social and technological forces that have both driven and are the drivers of the use of web-based survey data collection.

Human Service Organizations in the Disaster Context
Human Service Organizations in the Disaster Context explores the efforts of human service practitioners to support communities facing the impacts of large-scale hazardous events. Using the stories of frontline workers and managers who lived through devastating earthquakes in Canterbury, New Zealand in 2010 and 2011, and drawing on international research and sociological theory, van Heugten astutely analyses the challenges and opportunities that arise. In the immediate aftermath of disasters, there is often a surge in altruism giving rise to hope for improved social cohesion. This hope wanes when negative impacts fall unequally on people living in poverty and other vulnerable populations. Political, financial, and professional interest groups vie for power and local citizens' voices are frequently overruled. Human service workers act as boundary spanners, networking between organizations to draw attention to the concerns of vulnerable people, and to advocate for human rights and social justice.
Utopia in Performance
"Jill Dolan is the theatre's most astute critic, and this new book is perhaps her most important. Utopia in Performance argues with eloquence and insight how theatre makes a difference, and in the process demonstrates that scholarship matters, too. It is a book that readers will cherish and hold close as a personal favorite, and that scholars will cite for years to come." ---David Román, University of Southern California What is it about performance that draws people to sit and listen attentively in a theater, hoping to be moved and provoked, challenged and comforted? In Utopia in Performance, Jill Dolan traces the sense of visceral, emotional, and social connection that we experience at su...
