Advanced Information Sociology The Ambiguities of Desistance: Ex-offenders, Higher Education and the Desistance Journey Emerald Points Author David Honeywell University of Manchester, UK Synopsis This book explores the ongoing and individual desistance journeys of ex-offenders during re-integration into society, introducing nuanced and rich data around the growing interest in desistance and what leads someone to move away from crime. Through in-depth interviews and his own lived experiences as a prisoner, the author highlights the importance of Higher Education in the desistance process as a conduit for change and rehabilitation. He explores the complex life process of the ex-offender, investigating the introspective and existential experiences that lead individuals towards an ongoing desistance journey in which they re-evaluate their sense of selves and develop new identities. The author argues that in the current system, the focus on crime loses sight of the more complex and unending process of desistance. While becoming accepted by society is essential to desistance, society creates many barriers that prevent this from happening and the criminal justice system provides no formal rite of passage for ex-offenders attempting to re-integrate into society, thus leading to an unending transformative cycle of desistance. This book seeks to synthesise and critically review desistance theory as it has emerged within contemporary criminology, and enlarge its capacity to engage with the complexities of the lives analysed in this research.

Advanced Information Sociology Crossroads of Rural Crime: Representations and Realities of Transgression in the Australian Countryside Editors Alistair Harkness University of New England, Australia Rob White University of Tasmania, Australia Synopsis Rural-oriented scholarship in criminology is growing, in part motivated by governmental, community and academic recognition that, despite stereotypes of the 'rural idyll', crime and justice are significant issues in the rural landscape. Using the notion of 'crossroads' to provide a unique lens through which to examine realities of rural crime, this edited collection provides a dynamic understanding of the nature of rural life and ways in which transgression manifests itself in the context of a presumed rural-urban divide. Common myths regarding rural crime are challenged by exploring its diverse dimensions from a central conceptual focal point; the many 'roads' that lead into and out of rural spaces, whether literal, virtual or figurative. With a focus on the Australian countryside, the authors examine issues such as drug abuse, persecution of wildlife, rural penal practices, and health in Indigenous communities. The first substantive edited collection to focus on notions of the mobility of crime within, to and from rural spaces, this interdisciplinary collection draws together contributions from criminology, politics, sociology, Indigenous studies, literature and anthropology to significantly contribute to our understanding of rural crime.

Advanced Information Sociology Funerary Practices in Serbia Funerary International Author Aleksandra Pavićević Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Serbia Synopsis Funerary Practices in Serbia is the first book to offer a concise yet highly informative study of the historical development and current state of funerary practices in Serbia. Situated in a constant dynamic struggle between traditional cultural customs and modern legislation, funerary practices in Serbia represent a particularly interesting field of research. In this study, Pavićević combines an investigation of long-term developments and recent changes to place contemporary practices in their wider historical context, emphasizing the complicated geo-political, demographic and cultural factors that have shaped funeral traditions in Serbia over time. In particular, she demonstrates how the country's frequent changing of borders and life under the rule of two great empires - the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman - fostered the emergence of colorful funerary traditions, such as open-casket burial and vigils around the body, that persist to this day in spite of government attempts to modernize funerary practice since the end of the 19th century. The book also provides illuminating insights into the legal framework surrounding current funerary practices in Serbia, the relationship between the state and private sectors, the ownership of cemeteries and gravesites, the role of churches and religious communities, religious and ethnic variations in funerary culture and traditions, and the development of modern cremation practices in Serbia. This book provides a useful and original resource for policymakers and practitioners interested in the historic, legal, technical and professional aspects of the Serbian funerary industry, and to researchers in cultural anthropology, history, sociology and cultural management.

Advanced Information Education Jerome Bruner, Meaning- Making and Education for Conflict Resolution: Why How We Think Matters Emerald Points Author Sally Myers The Woolf Institute, UK Synopsis The way we think about things matters just as much as what we think about things. This timely text investigates the work of educational philosopher and psychologist Jerome Bruner through the areas of knowledge representation, meaning-making, education and dispute. What people represent to others might not always be what they actually think. However, accepting this limitation, the aim of this book is to offer a means of examining representations about a given subject and an understanding of how those representations might change over time in response to learning, crisis, and encounter with 'other'. Myers offers an educational intervention that invites development of representations in response to difference. Presenting a new framework for examining controversy between worldviews and a method for creating space for difference, the book brings this into dialogue with education and research, conflict resolution and religion. This framework maps representations and proposes a method of engaging the psychological processes involved in changing representations. An excellent resource of interest to researchers, professionals and postgraduate students alike in education, sociology and philosophy related disciplines.

Advanced Information Information & knowledge management Knowledge Risk and its Mitigation: Practices and Cases Authors Rongbin W.B. Lee The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Jessica Y.T. Yip Independent Scholar, Hong Kong Vivien W.Y. Shek The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Synopsis The life cycle of companies and enterprises, at present, is short-lived due to rapid social and technological changes. Despite the growing awareness on the importance of knowledge management (KM) among academic researchers, it is still not widely practiced in industry. Why is this? Most KM programs emphasize the importance of capturing, retaining, and sharing organisational knowledge amongst their stakeholders. The beneficial effect of these programs is rarely felt immediately, which often results in senior management avoiding prioritising KM initiatives. To overcome this hurdle in implementing KM an approach that includes the assessment of knowledge risk factors and the disastrous effect on the daily operation of the company is explored. This book is the first attempt of its kind to provide a pragmatic view to launch knowledge risk management at the grassroot level, with steps by steps on what should be the mission and practical skills needed for a KM practitioner. Another surprise of this book is the numerous cases, examples and data that are brough about from the real business world. For business practitioners, KM researchers and those in HR, risk management, management accounting and Leadership this work is a must for expanding their understanding of Knowledge Management and knowledge risks.

Advanced Information Sociology Mass Mediated Representations of Crime and Criminality Studies in Media and Communications, Volume 21 Editor Julie B. Wiest West Chester University of Pennsylvania, USA Synopsis Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology section of the American Sociological Association (CITAMS), this volume of Studies in Media and Communications features social science research that examines the practices, patterns, and messages related to representations of crime in mass media around the world. Chapters focus on a wide range of fact-based and fictional accounts of criminality as depicted in print and broadcast news, documentary and video-on-demand films, and television programs. Stories about crime and criminality have long been the mainstay of news and entertainment media content, and the intersection of crime and media is a common topic in scholarly research. Moreover, substantial evidence indicates that these media depictions are highly influential as people in economically advanced societies - who tend to have little personal experience with crime-form perceptions about criminality, crime rates, characteristics of criminals, and even their own likelihood of victimization.

Advanced Information Health & social care 'Purpose-built’ Art in Hospitals: Art with Intent Author Judy Rollins Georgetown University, USA Synopsis Over the past three decades, guidance on the selection of art in hospitals has suggested realistic art that depicts soothing and comforting images such as tranquil waters, green vegetation, flowers, and open spaces. Based on these findings, curators have been cautioned to avoid art with uncertain meaning that risks upsetting viewers in stressful states. However, some hospitals exhibit ambiguous or abstract art and cite anecdotal evidence of its appropriateness for healthcare settings. More recent research is going beyond anecdotal evidence, and indicates that the ambiguity of meaning in abstract compositions can have positive effects. 'Purpose-built' Art in Hospitals is built on an international study of artwork in hospitals around the globe. Exploring 'purpose-built' (specially commissioned) artwork in hospitals through the dual lens of an artist and healthcare professional, Rollins identities 15 specific 'purposes' of visual artwork in hospitals and presents a compelling case for their use that is grounded in research. The book builds the reader's understanding of the many functions of artwork in hospitals, with the goal of encouraging greater variety in art offerings to better serve the many diverse needs of patients, families, visitors and staff within the hospital environment.

Advanced Information Education Teaching from the Emerging Now Emerald Points Authors Linnette Werner Hamline University, USA David Hellstrom University of Minnesota, USA Synopsis Microaggressions, complex identities, polarized belief systems, pandemic interruptions-- these are just a few of the things the modern classroom holds. What if we could work with what emerges in the moment instead of seeing it as an unplanned disruption? Teaching from the Emerging Now explores how we combine our intention with what naturally emerges to create inclusive, dynamic classrooms amid constant change. The Intentional Emergence model combines Case-in-Point and Adaptive Leadership with compassion and culturally responsive pedagogy to develop a new teaching and learning style. This approach takes the fear out of being surprised, provides concrete ways to both support and challenge students, and reimagines the classroom as a living leadership laboratory. Beyond bridging theory to practice, by rethinking the classroom from a place to impart knowledge to a shared space of co-creation, faculty, teachers, and trainers are better able to meet the increasingly diverse needs of learners.

Advanced Information Education Understanding Decision- Making in Educational Contexts: A Case Study Approach Transforming Education Through Critical Leadership, Policy and Practice Author Stephanie Chitpin University of Ottawa, Canada Synopsis Understanding Decision-Making in Educational Contexts presents 'problem cases' confronting school leaders in real settings, and illustrates the multiple approaches that school leaders draw upon to navigate complex and challenging decision-making contexts. Although school leaders draw upon knowledge and instruments that are available to them, the approach used for this volume is decidedly Popperian in nature. In this collection, each chapter presents a case study problem, a discussion of the salient concepts and principles of the case, an exploration of problem formulation, and concludes with a decision analysis using a Popperian approach to problem solving. Each chapter concludes with lessons learned and the expected decision-making skills acquired from the critical analysis of each educational challenge using the Objective Knowledge Growth Framework, a Popperian decision-making approach. This book is essential reading for anyone who aspires to take on a leadership role in a school setting, or is curious to develop their understanding of leadership problems.

Advanced Information Health and Social Care Voices of Teenage Transplant Survivors: Miracle-Like Author Susan J. Sample University of Utah, USA Synopsis Voices of Teenage Transplant Survivors introduces illness narratives from an unrecognized patient population: recipients of heart, liver and kidney transplants. The book offers unique patient narratives by adolescents who use poetry to explore issues surrounding the changing body, independence, identity, and mortality. Underpinned by a message of healing as they voice hope amid uncertainty, the teens’ narratives helped them construct new identities reflected in the term they chose to describe themselves: miracle-like. While the physical and emotional trials of waiting on transplant lists are featured in popular media, the struggles recipients face years after surgery are not. Organ rejection looms in their future, as do side effects. Illuminating the physical, psychological, and existential challenges confronted by these adolescents, like others with chronic illness regardless of age, the book details the poetry workshops where they articulated experiences silenced by family, friends and the culture of medicine. Close readings and analyses of their writings are included, along with writing prompts and references to narrative medicine theory. The book offers something new for medical and health professionals, medical humanities researchers, students and the public.

Advanced Information Sociology When Reproduction meets Ageing: The Science and Medicine of the Fertility Decline Emerald Studies in Reproduction, Culture and Society Author Nolwenn Bühler University of Lausanne, Switzerland Synopsis What is really biological about the "biological clock" and how can we account for its embodied reality from a feminist perspective? Addressing long-standing questions about the articulation of the biological and the social in the making of bodies and identities, this book questions the nature of reproductive ageing, a taken for granted "fact of life" at the core of reproductive biomedicine. Opening the black box of the biological, it makes a way between essentialism and constructivism with the aim of accounting for its materiality, while also illuminating its political implications. Since the 1970s, alarming discourses about declining fertility and the difficulties of balancing work and family have flourished in Western countries, putting women’s reproductive age and the fertility decline to the centre of public and medical attention. Reproductive biomedicine constitutes a specific domain invested with hopes for technological and medical answers and a new market for fertility extension technologies, such as social egg freezing, is developing. By following the biological-social entanglements (or the naturecultures) of age-related infertility in the science and medicine of reproduction, this study explores how age materializes and documents what happens when reproduction meets ageing. Deeply transdisciplinary, it questions what is fixed about the biology of the fertility decline in a way which adds complexity to debates about the biomedicalization of reproductive ageing.
