Scientific Method How Science Works Fails to Work and Pretends to Work

Scientific Method How Science Works Fails to Work and Pretends to Work

This book shows how science works fails to work or pretends to work by looking at examples from such diverse fields as physics biomedicine psychology and economics. Social science affects our lives every day through the predictions of experts and the rules and regulations they devise. Sciences like economics sociology and health are subject to more ‘operating limitations’ than classical fields like physics or chemistry or biology. Yet their methods and results must also be judged according to the same scientific standards. Every literate citizen should understand these standards and be able to tell the difference between good science and bad. Scientific Method enables readers to develop a critical informed view of scientific practice by discussing concrete examples of how real scientists have approached the problems of their fields. It is ideal for students and professionals trying to make sense of the role of science in society and of the meaning value and limitations of scientific methodology in the social sciences. | Scientific Method How Science Works Fails to Work and Pretends to Work

Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Conversations about rehabilitation and how to address the drugs-crime nexus have been dominated by academics and policymakers without due recognition of the experience and knowledge of practitioners. Not enough is known about the cultures and conditions in which rehabilitation occurs. Why is it that significant numbers of practitioners are leaving the alcohol and other drugs field while disproportionate numbers of criminal justice practitioners are on leave? Rehabilitation Work provides a unique insight into what happens behind the closed doors of prisons probation and parole offices drug rehabs and recovery support services drawing on research from Australia. This book is among the first to provide a dedicated empirical examination of the interface between the concurrent processes of desistance from crime and recovery from substance misuse and the implications for rehabilitation work. Hannah Graham uses practitioner interviews workforce data and researcher observations to reveal compelling differences between official accounts of rehabilitation work and what practitioners actually do in practice. Practitioners express a desire to be the change rather than being subject to change actively co-producing progressive reforms instead of passively coping with funding cutbacks and interagency politics. Applied examples of how practitioners collaborate lead and innovate in the midst of challenging work are complemented with evocative illustrations of insider humour and professional resilience. This book is a key resource for students academics and practitioners across fields including criminology and criminal justice social work psychology counselling and addiction treatment. | Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work From Tabernacle to Eucharist

The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work From Tabernacle to Eucharist

An important reconceptualisation is taking place in the way people express creativity work together and engage in labour; particularly suggests Kidwell a surprising resurgence in recent years of manual and craft work. Noting the wide array of outlets that now market hand-made goods and the array of popular books which advocate ‘making’ as a basis for activism or personal improvement this book seeks to understand how the micro-politics of craft work might offer insights for a broader theology of work. Why does it matter that we do work which is meaningful excellent and beautiful? Through a close reading of Christian scripture The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work examines the theology and ethics of work in light of original biblical exegesis. Kidwell presents a detailed exegetical study of temple construction accounts in the Hebrew bible and the New Testament. Illuminating a theological account of craft and employing the ancient vision of ‘good work’ which is preserved in these biblical texts Kidwell critically interrogates modern forms of industrial manufacture. This includes a variety of contemporary work problems particularly the instrumentalisation and exploitation of the non-human material world and the dehumanisation of workers. Primary themes taken up in the book include agency aesthetics sociality skill and the material culture of work culminating with the conclusion that the church (or ‘new temple’) is both the product and the site of moral work. Arguing that Christian worship provides a moral context for work this book also examines early Christian practices to suggest a theological reconceptualisation of work. | The Theology of Craft and the Craft of Work From Tabernacle to Eucharist

The Handbook of Social Work and Social Development in Africa

The Handbook of Social Work and Social Development in Africa

All recent books on international social work mention Africa only briefly and few engage with the broader field of development studies. This book focuses solely on the unique African context engaging with issues relating to social work and development more broadly thus enabling a deeper examination and more complex and nuanced picture to emerge. Unlike most academic works this book highlights multiple practitioner voices with authors or co-authors that have recently been or are currently practising social workers. As an edited book it draws from both academic research as well as lived practice experience supported by strong theoretical positioning and guidance in introductory chapters drawing on African literature wherever possible. Looking at case-studies from Lesotho Botswana Kenya Zimbabwe Ethiopia Namibia Uganda Nigeria Kenya South Africa Rwanda Zambia and Tanzania and covering established areas of practice such as child protection; working with older people; working with people with disabilities; mental health; and mainstream services targeting women as well as emerging areas of developmental social work practice such as humanitarian assistance in post-conflict situations; work with immigrants and refugees; and the training of community-based workers this book takes a future-oriented perspective that aims to move beyond well-worn critiques to envision constructive and sustainable futures for social work and social development in Africa from a critical perspective. | The Handbook of Social Work and Social Development in Africa
