Traversing the Doctorate
This book explores the multiple ways in which doctoral programs are traversed by students, supervisors and administrators. Rather than proposing a single, homogeneous approach as the most effective form of doctoral education, the editors and contributors focus on the diversity of global approaches to the doctorate, including doctoral experiences from Australia, Finland, Chile, New Zealand and Spain. The doctorate emerges from this analysis as a highly complex, heterogeneous and situated phenomenon that resists easy solutions. Strategies that are successful in traversing the doctorate are found to be grounded in contexts that cannot necessarily be generalised to other situations: in doing so, the authors emphasise the importance of presenting a diverse array of experiences and stories. The separate and shared perspectives of doctoral students, supervisors and administrations are mapped and analysed in ways that bring their voices compellingly to life: this book will be of interest and value to students and scholars of the doctoral journey, as well as of international and comparative education.
Social Media and Technology Across the Lifespan
This book explores social media and technology across the lifespan. The authors argue that those of different ages and life stages have very diverse experiences with these types of media and demonstrate the importance of analysing the entire lifespan in the context of technology use. They acknowledge and celebrate social media for the positives that it can bring to our lives but also recognise that there may be challenges for particular developmental stages.
A Practical Guide to Social Interaction Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders
This book introduces a novel approach for examining language and communication in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) - discourse and conversation analysis. The authors offer a set of very different perspectives on these complex issues than are typically presented in psychological and clinical work. Emerging from a range of social scientific fields, discourse and conversation analysis involve fine-grained qualitative analysis of naturally-occurring, rather than laboratory-based, interaction, enabling broad applications. Presented in two parts, this innovative volume first provides a set of pedagogical chapters to develop the reader's knowledge and skills in using these approaches, before moving to showcase the use of discursive methods through a range of original contributions from world-leading scholars, drawn from a range of disciplines including sociology, academic and clinical psychology, speech and language therapy, critical disability studies and social theory, and medicine and psychiatry.

Au fond de l'eau
POURREZ-VOUS REMONTER À LA SURFACE ? Après La Fille du train, le nouveau roman de Paula Hawkins La veille de sa mort, Nel a appelé sa sœur, Julia. Qui n'a pas voulu lui répondre. Alors que le corps de Nel vient d'être retrouvé dans la rivière qui traverse Beckford, leur ville natale, Julia est effrayée à l'idée de revenir sur les lieux de son enfance. De quoi a-t-elle le plus peur ? D'affronter le prétendu suicide de sa sœur ? De s'occuper de Lena, sa nièce de quinze ans, qu'elle ne connaît pas ? Ou de faire face à un passé qu'elle a toujours fui ? Plus que tout encore, c'est peut-être la rivière qui la terrifie, ces eaux à la fois enchanteresses et mortelles, où, depuis toujours, les tragédies se succèdent. Julia, Lena, Nel : avec ce superbe portrait de trois femmes en quête d'elles mêmes, aux prises avec les pesanteurs du passé, on retrouve l'infinie compréhension pour ses personnages dont témoignait déjà Paula Hawkins dans La Fille du train. On y retrouve, surtout, sa virtuosité et un talent incroyable pour tenir le lecteur en haleine jusqu'à l'ultime rebondissement, qui marquera tous les esprits.

Folk Horror
While the undisputed heyday of folk horror was Britain in the 1960s and 1970s, the genre has not only a rich cinematic and literary prehistory, but directors and novelists around the world have also been reinventing folk horror for the contemporary moment. This study sets out to rethink the assumptions that have guided critical writing on the genre in the face of such expansions, with chapters exploring a range of subjects from the fiction of E. F. Benson to Scooby-Doo, video games, and community engagement with the Lancashire witches. In looking beyond Britain, the essays collected here extend folk horror's geographic terrain to map new conceptualisations of the genre now seen emerging from Italy, Ukraine, Thailand, Mexico and the Appalachian region of the US.
Stance
All communication involves acts of stance, in which speakers take up positions vis-à-vis the expressive, referential, interactional and social implications of their speech. This book brings together contributions in a new and dynamic current of academic explorations of stancetaking as a sociolinguistic phenomenon. Drawing on data from such diverse contexts as advertising, tourism, historical texts, naturally occurring conversation, classroom interaction and interviews, leading authors in the field of sociolinguistics in this volume explore how linguistic stancetaking is implicated in the representation of self, personal style and acts of stylization, and self- and other-positioning. The ana...
