Modes of Thinking for Qualitative Data Analysis
Modes of Thinking for Qualitative Data Analysis argues for engagement with the conceptual underpinnings of five prominent analytical strategies used by qualitative researchers: Categorical Thinking, Narrative Thinking, Dialectical Thinking, Poetical Thinking, and Diagrammatical Thinking. By presenting such disparate modes of research in the space of a single text, Freeman not only draws attention to the distinct methodological and theoretical contributions of each, she also establishes a platform for choosing among particular research strategies by virtue of their strengths and limitations. Experienced qualitative researchers, novices, and graduate students from many disciplines will gain new insight from the theory-practice relationship of analysis advanced in this text.
Researching Children's Experiences
This accessible book presents approaches to planning, carrying out, and analyzing research projects with children and youth from a social constructivist perspective. Rich, contextualized examples illustrate how to elicit and understand the lived experiences of diverse young people. Data-collection methods discussed in depth include drawing, photography, the Internet, games, interviewing, focus groups, journaling, and observation. Also covered are strategies for fostering the active contributions of children in the research process; navigating consent and ethical issues; enlisting the support of parents, school personnel, and other gatekeepers; and interpreting data. Throughout, the authors emphasize the need to attend to the social setting in which research with children is done. End-of-chapter questions and exercises encourage readers to reflect on taken-for-granted conceptions of children and childhood and to try out the book’s ideas in their own research projects.
A Farrago of Lies
A fast moving story, very funny, set in today’s Western Australia. From a young man David was troubled by the injustices in his life and lack of communication with God. As his troubled mind became host to another David, a hard, self-centered David, the story becomes increasingly funny. His obsession with money added to the complexity of his wild imaginings. David’s relationship with Melissa adds further sinister complications. His involvement with his adopted Aboriginal relatives is something that could only happen to David. Superstition, sex, viagra and schizophrenia will enthrall the reader as the story races to its hilarious ending.
Everyday Ethics
Everyday Ethics: Reflections on Practice looks at the moments that demand moral consideration and ethical choice that arise as part of a researcher’s daily practice. Drawing on principles of systematic inquiry as transparent and grounded in conceptual reasoning, it describes research as praxis and the researcher as practitioner. The researcher is a decision-maker for both procedural and ethical matters that attend the conduct of research, especially when the research is focused on human wellbeing. Every decision about data collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation has moral dimensions. Morally compelling moments demand a reflexivity (‘research praxis’) – that is, informe...

The Door to the Shadows
Twenty-five years have passed since Thomas Pitworth defeated the evil sorcerer, Arkaelion, at Dorik-Nur. Since then, he has married Melissa Freeman and had a daughter, Mati. One night, news of a new evil comes via Thalik, a survivor of that first Quest. He and Thomas leave to investigate, and discover that Mati, too, has involved herself. Thus begins the sequel to Ravenscroft, with many twists and turns, reinterpretations of the runes that foretold the original prophecy (melithera ger lilimer -- he who will come), and a host of adventures. It is an epic story about the old vs. the new, good vs. evil, and it ends where it began: with questions about purpose, culture, and life. The Door to the Shadows is reminiscent of Tolkien because of the constant struggle between good and evil and the intricate characterizations that bring the story to life!
