“In this era of bountiful visual, qualitative and informationalised knowledge of the social world a conscientious guide to social research is ever more valuable…this is a knowledgeably written, highly engaging and genuinely interesting book."Dr Pamela Odih BSoc.Sc. PhD. Senior Lecturer Goldsmiths University of London, UK“A timely focus on intersectionality, decoloniality, as well as digital, participatory, collaborative methods and the relationship between knowledge, power and action, are all compelling new additions”Anastasia Christou, Associate Professor of Sociology, Middlesex University, UK“This is the best kind of companion for social researchers: a clear, concise, and practical overview of the foundations of the field…grounded in critical reflection about ethics and power, and skilfully assembled to both support and inspire.”Dr Oliver Escobar, Senior Lecturer, University of Edinburgh, UK“The longevity of May and Perry’s ‘Social Research’ is richly deserved…combining a sophisticated approach to the unity of theory, method, and context, with clarity and approachability.”Malcolm Williams, Professor and Co-Director of the Q-Step Centre, Cardiff University, UK “Equally valuable for the newcomer and the experienced researcher, the book is elegantly structured and beautifully written, as is always the case with May and Perry’s work.”Davydd J. Greenwood, Goldwin Smith Professor of Anthropology Emeritus, Cornell University, USA Corresponding Member, Spanish Royal Academy of Moral and Political SciencesFully revised and updated, Social Research: Issues, Methods and Process 5th edition bridges the gap between theory and methods in social research and clearly illuminates these essential components for understanding the dynamics of social relations. The book is divided into three parts. Part One examines the issues and perspectives in social research, Part Two discusses the methods and Part Three is devoted to reflections on the process of research. Updates to this edition include:• Two new chapters on working across boundaries and digital research, reflecting critical developments that are shaping the landscape of social research• Broadening consideration of issues including intersectionality and de-colonial research methods, along with the relationship between knowledge, power, and action• Revised ‘Discuss, Discover, Do’ sections with expanded suggestions for follow-on activities• Carefully integrated reflections and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic throughout to draw attention to critical issuesThe authors aim to support and inspire, with a clear and accessible writing style that enables students to identify the key issues in social research and how to successfully navigate them. Social Research 5e is the ideal companion to social research for students across the social sciences and for academics and practitioners wishing to remain well-informed on key developments in the field.Beth Perry is Professor of Urban Knowledge and Governance, and Director of the Urban Institute at the University of Sheffield, UK.Tim May is a Professorial Fellow at the University of Sheffield, UK and an Honorary Distinguished Professor at the University of Cardiff, UK.

Sociologiens særlige måde at tænke på kan komme os til hjælp i forbindelse med overvejelser om hvordan vores individuelle livshistorier hænger sammen med den historie, vi har til fælles med andre mennesker. Den overvejelse er grundlæggende i sociologien og derfor også et hovedanliggende i denne grundbog i faget. Bauman & Mays (og andres) definition af fagdisciplinen sociologi går ud på, at den skal betragte menneskelige handlinger som elementer i en mere omfattende formation (dvs. samfundet). Samfundet forstås her som en samling af aktører, der er bundet sammen i et net af gensidig afhængighed. Afhængighed forklares som en tilstand, hvor alle handlinger og gøremål er afhængige af, hvem de øvrige aktører er, hvad de gør eller måske vil gøre. At tænke sociologisk er altså det at være i stand til at analysere dialektikken (vekselvirkningen) mellem individ og samfund. En sådan analyse kan øge forståelse for den menneskelige forskellighed og dermed blandt andet være med til at fremme følelsen af solidaritet mellem mennesker. I bogens 10 kapitler diskuteres en række sociologiske nøglebegreber som fx identitet, forbrugerisme, krop og seksualitet, teknologi og kultur. Bauman & May drøfter desuden mere værdiorienterede begreber som assimilation, moral, ulighed, eksklusion og fattigdom. Der trækkes jævnligt på indsigter fra andre hovedskikkelser inden for sociologien (Bourdieu, Mead, Schutz, Elias, Foucault, Castells, Giddens m.fl.) På den måde bliver læseren præsenteret for andre ”store” sociologers begreber og deres teorier om samfundet. ZYGMUNT BAUMAN (1925-2017) var professor i sociologi ved universitetet i Leeds og er en af vor tids skarpeste analytikere af begreberne modernitet og postmodernitet i en samfundsmæssig sammenhæng. Blandt Baumans mange bøger kan nævnes Freedom (1988, da. udg. 2003), Modernity and Holocaust (1989, da. udg. 1994), Modernity and Ambivalence (1991) og Society Under Siege (2002, da. udg. 2003). TIM MAY (f. 1957) er professor i sociologi ved The University of Sheffield. Han har udgivet adskillige bøger bl.a. Probation: Politics, Policy and Practice (1991), Introduction to the Philosophy of Social Research (1996) og Social Research (2001, 3. udg.). Bogen udkom første gang på dansk i 2003 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere. At tænke sociologisk er oversat fra engelsk efter Thinking Sociologically (2. rev. udg.) af Tom Bøgeskov.

Widely acclaimed insight on the human condition, updated to view modern issues through a sociological lens Now in its third edition, Thinking Sociologically continues to offer a stimulating exploration of the underlying assumptions and tacit expectations which structure our view of the world. This best-seller has been translated into 12 languages to bring key sociological concepts to students and general readers around the globe. The authors review recent developments in society and examine the applicability of sociology to everyday life. The world has changed a great deal since the second edition’s publication. Issues of climate change, sustainability, inequality, social justice, inclusion and the role of social media have risen to prominence, and we are collectively challenging our ways of thinking about intimacy, community, consumption, ethics, social identity, and more. This new third edition has been revised to reflect these and other transformations in our lives, helping us to think sociologically about the consequences of these burgeoning issues, how we organize our societies, understand ourselves and lead our lives. This dynamic book: Applies sociology to everyday life in the context of current issuesContains contributions from major theorists that introduce central sociological concepts with modern relevanceFeatures a highly engaging and stimulating style that promotes critical thought and independent study Written for undergraduates, postgraduates, practicing sociologists and social scientists, this book also holds a broad appeal to a general audience. The third edition of Thinking Sociologically offers a compelling survey of sociological issues, recent changes in society and their influence on our day-to-day lives and identities.

Cities and the Knowledge Economy is an in-depth, interdisciplinary, international and comparative examination of the relationship between knowledge and urban development in the contemporary era. Through the lenses of promise, politics and possibility, it examines how the knowledge economy has arisen, how different cities have sought to realise its potential, how universities play a role in its realisation and, overall, what this reveals about the relationship between politics, capitalism, space, place and knowledge in cities.The book argues that the 21st century city has been predicated on particular circuits of knowledge that constitute expertise as residing in elite and professional epistemic communities. In contrast, alternative conceptions of the knowledge society are founded on assumptions which take analysis, deliberation, democracy and the role of the citizen and communities of practice seriously. Drawing on a range of examples from cities around the world, the book reflects on these possibilities and asks what roles the practice of ‘active intermediation’, the university and a critical and engaged social scientific practice can all play in this process.The book is aimed at researchers and students from different disciplines – geography, politics, sociology, business studies, economics and planning – with interests in contemporary urbanism and the role of knowledge in understanding development, as well as urban policymakers, politicians and practitioners who are concerned with the future of our cities and seek to create coalitions of different communities oriented towards more just and sustainable futures.

Genom diskussioner av vardagliga upplevelser ger Zygmunt Bauman och Tim May i denna bok en personlig introduktion till frågan: Vad innebär det att tänka sociologiskt? Sociologin är ett sätt att överskrida vardagstänkandets begränsningar, att se människors handlingar som aspekter av större helheter: ett hjälpmedel att leva sitt liv på ett medvetet sätt.Alla har vi känt oss delaktiga i eller uteslutna ur en viss social gemenskap. Alla har vi stått inför svårigheter att välja hur vi ska leva våra liv. Alla har vi blivit förälskade eller önskat att bli älskade. Genom diskussioner av sådana vardagliga upplevelser ger Zygmunt Bauman och Tim May i denna bok en klargörande och personlig introduktion till frågan: Vad innebär det att tänka sociologiskt? Sociologin är ett sätt att överskrida vardagstänkandets begränsningar, att se människors handlingar som aspekter av större helheter, att få ökad förståelse för andra människor och andra levnadsformer: ett hjälpmedel att leva sitt liv på ett medvetet sätt.Denna bok – den andra upplagan – är omarbetad och utvidgad, och innehåller nytt material om hälsa och fitness, intimitet, tid, rum och oordning, risk, globalisering, identitet, organisationer och nya teknologier. Boken vänder sig till både läsare utan tidigare erfarenheter av sociologin och till dem som redan är hemmastadda i ämnet.

This is an accessible introduction to the philosophy of social research which relates philosophical ideas to actual research practice. The book makes effective use of illustrations from the UK, US and Europe to examine specific problems and broader issues. The book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in social research methods within sociology, social policy, politics, social psychology, human geography; philosophy of social science and social theory courses; and as a personal reference for professional researchers.

Metodfrågor är centrala inom samhällsvetenskaperna eftersom forskningsresultat i allt väsentligt är beroende av forskarens utgångspunkter och den valda metoden. Denna bok sammanfattar på ett klart och tillgängligt sätt såväl de ständigt närvarande frågorna kring förutsättningarna för kunskap om den sociala världen som de senaste diskussionerna kring samhällsveten­skaplig teori och metod.Bokens första del koncentreras huvudsakligen kring metodologi, alltså frågor om vetenskapsteori, förhållandet mellan teori och metod och normativa och etiska aspekter på samhällsvetenskaplig forskning. I del två redogörs för några centrala tillvägagångssätt inom samhällsvetenskaplig forskning, såsom surveyunder­sökningar, intervjuer och deltagande observation. Bokens tredje del handlar om den samhällsvetenskapliga forskningens praktik. Denna andra upplaga, som är en översättning av den fjärde utgåvan på engelska, har reviderats och uppdaterats i sin helhet samt försetts med nyskrivna kapitel om bland annat fallstudiemetodik. Boken vänder sig till studenter inom samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen.

What are the critical gaps in thinking about reflexivity and social research? How is reflexive practice shaped by the contexts and cultures in which researchers work? How might research practice respond to twin demands of excellence and relevance in the knowledge-based economy? Thinking reflexively about the inter-relationships between social research and societal practices is all the more important in the so-called knowledge economy. Developing reflexive practices in social research is not achieved through applying a method. Where and how researchers work is fundamental in shaping the capacities and capabilities to produce research as content and context lie in a dynamic interaction. This book not only provides a history of reflexive thought, but its consequences for the practice of social research and an understanding of the contexts in which it is produced. It provides critical insights into the implications of reflexivity through a discussion of positioning, belonging and degrees of epistemic permeability in disciplines. It is also highly innovative in its suggestions for ways forward in research practice through the introduction of active intermediaries. Overall, the book offers an exciting new position on reflexive research that will generate much debate through its successful achievement of two difficult feats: providing essential reading for orientations on reflexivity and social research in the twenty-first century and making a landmark contribution to thinking and practice in the field. Social Research and Reflexivity is suitable for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and social researchers in general across a number of disciplines including geography, social research, management and organizations; economics, urban studies, sociology, social policy, anthropology and politics, as well as science and technology studies.
