A Qualitative Stance
This book articulates a qualitative stance, drawing inspiration from the Danish psychologist Steinar Kvale's work. The qualitative stance involves a point of departure where the social world is described before theorized, understood before explained, and seen as concrete qualities rather than abstract quantities. It focuses on the cultural, everyday, and situated aspects of human thinking, learning, knowing, acting, and ways of understanding ourselves as persons, while at the same time striving to be scientific. International authorities on qualitative inquiry, education, psychology, and philosophy each develop different aspects of the qualitative stance by engaging with three distinct themes: The first centers around qualitative studies on learning, studied as a social phenomenon of human beings in changing social practices. The second theme is a critique of current educational practices and the postmodern consumer society, arrived at through careful descriptions of subjectivity and contemporary social relations. The third theme is about the development of new ways of thinking about qualitative inquiry.
Professionalizing Leadership
This book presents a lively debate surrounding the professionalization of leadership. With contributions from both sides of the argument, it considers the historical overview of leadership and management as a profession, questions what constitutes a profession, and critically addresses the practicality of professionalizing leadership. With a range of perspectives including political philosophy, behavioral professionalism and management history, the book intends to facilitate further discussion on the issues at stake. With a number of education programs beginning to focus on the art and practice of leading people, this debate is particularly timely.
Creativity — A New Vocabulary
Creativity — A New Vocabulary proposes a novel approach to the way in which we talk and think about creativity. It covers a variety of topics not commonly associated with creativity that offer us valuable insights and open up new and exciting possibilities for creative action. This second edition includes six new essays which continue to challenge the traditional vocabulary of creativity and its preference for individuals, brains, cognition, personality, divergent thinking, insight, and problem solving. The book proposes a more dynamic and relational perspective that considers creativity as an embodied, social, material, and cultural process. This book will be useful for a wide range of specialists within the humanities and social sciences, as well as practitioners from applied fields who are looking for novel ways, of thinking about and doing creative work.
Psychology as a Moral Science
What does morality have to do with psychology in a value-neutral, postmodern world? According to a provocative new book, everything. Taking exception with current ideas in the mainstream (including cultural, evolutionary, and neuropsychology) as straying from the discipline’s ethical foundations, Psychology as a Moral Science argues that psychological phenomena are inherently moral, and that psychology, as prescriptive and interventive practice, reflects specific moral principles. The book cites normative moral standards, as far back as Aristotle, that give human thoughts, feelings, and actions meaning, and posits psychology as one of the critical methods of organizing normative values in ...

Umyndiggørelse
Vi ønsker alle at have indflydelse og medbestemmelse i vores arbejdsliv. Myndighed stimulerer vores engagement og ansvarsfølelse. Og igennem de seneste årtier er flere og flere bærende elementer i arbejdet blevet lagt ud til medarbejderne selv. Fx arbejdstid, projektstyring og supervisering i forhold til indfrielse af mål. Men alligevel er det ikke nødvendigvis en større oplevelse af myndighed, der præger vores arbejde. Tværtimod kan umyndiggørelse i nye former spores – når ledelsen ikke tager ansvar for grænserne for medarbejdernes arbejdsindsats; når store faggrupper i det offentlige fratages fagligt råderum; når større dele af arbejdsstyrken udgrænses af depression, stress eller arbejdsløshed; når fagbevægelsen mister forbindelsen til arbejderne, eller når embedsfolk oplever stigende misbrug i magtapparatet. Denne bog undersøger disse former for umyndiggørelse i arbejdslivet og viser, hvorfor de opstår, og hvilke konsekvenser de kan have. Forfatterne viser også, hvordan medarbejdere, ledere og beslutningstagere på forskellige niveauer kan dæmme op for umyndiggørelse og være med til at styre denne udvikling i det moderne arbejdsliv.
