Selected AbstractsRECENT CHANGES AND TRENDS IN THE PRACTICE OF APPLIED ANTHROPOLOGYANNALS OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL PRACTICE, Issue 1 2008Satish Kedia The emergent global economy of the 21st century will create an ever greater need for research-based information and pragmatic utilization of social science skills, creating new work opportunities for applied anthropologists in a variety of settings. However, anthropologists may need to adjust their traditional roles and tasks, approaches and methods, and priorities and guidelines to practice their craft effectively. Anthropological training and education must be based in sound ethnographic techniques, using contemporary tools, participatory methods, and interdisciplinary knowledge in order to accommodate faster-paced work environments and to disseminate their findings efficiently to a diverse audience while fulfilling the goal of empowering and enabling humans around the world to address social, economic, and health issues, along with other pressing concerns facing their communities. [source] Finding the Findings in Qualitative StudiesJOURNAL OF NURSING SCHOLARSHIP, Issue 3 2002Margarete Sandelowski Purpose: To describe the challenges of finding the findings in qualitative studies. Method: Review of literature on representation in qualitative research and analysis of 99 reports of qualitative studies of women with HIV infection. Findings: Factors complicating finding the findings in qualitative studies include varied reporting styles, misrepresentation of data and analytic procedures as findings, misuse of quotes and theory, and lack of clarity concerning pattern and theme. Theses and dissertations present special challenges because they often contain several of these problems. Conclusions: Given the varied beliefs about findings among qualitative researchers, the challenge is to find ways to present findings that will make them discernible to the diverse audiences for whom they are intended, including researchers and practitioners. [source] Memorizing the Great War: Stanley Spencer at BurghclereART HISTORY, Issue 2 2000Sue Malvern The Chapel of All Saints, Burghclere, is decorated with a narrative series of war paintings (eight panels each with a matching predella, two panoramas and an end-wall Resurrection scene), and was completed by the British artist Stanley Spencer between 1926 and 1932. This article analyses the Chapel within two intersecting frames of reference , as part of a tradition for war memoirs by veterans and as an example of war memorial iconography in Britain in the inter-war years. Whereas the meaning of the Chapel is usually read as one which resolves the Great War into a matter of resurrection and redemption, I argue that the series is a paradoxical and indeterminate narrative intended for diverse audiences. [source] Integrating Culture in the Design of ICTsBRITISH JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, Issue 1 2008Patricia A. Young Nationally and internationally, designers are challenged with meeting the needs of diverse populations, and they are faced with the dilemma of how to integrate culture in the design of information and communication technologies (ICTs). This paper reviews the literature in the fields of human,computer interaction and instructional design to argue that the present methods of integrating culture in design serve a limited scope of what culture can be in the design process. Two conclusions were drawn from this research. First, it is apparent that integrating culture in the design of ICTs serves a broader scope, from the generic or culture-neutral, to the specialised or culture-specific. Second, this review indicates that design has not caught up with technology and that to create for diverse audiences the process must be deliberate. [source] | ||||||||||
