I denna bok presenteras feministiska teorier och begrepp tillsammans med fördjupande exempel på hur de kan tillämpas i forskning. Boken kan användas i diskussioner om kön, genus och feministiska perspektiv, men också som redskap då dessa frågor och perspektiv ska integreras med andra frågeställningar. I bokens första del beskrivs feminismens idéhistoriska och teoretiska utveckling. Här diskuteras begrepp som kön, genus och jämställdhet, vilken betydelse det materiella ges i olika teorier och varför kvinnliga teoretiker fått så lite plats i den sociologiska historieskrivningen. I bokens andra del läggs tyngdpunkten på tillämpning och empirisk forskning. Här ges exempel på hur begrepp och teorier har använts inom olika forskningsfält: sociala rörelser, kriminologi, arbetsliv, kropp och hälsa, familj, teknik- och vetenskapsstudier, emotioner samt migration. Feministiskt tänkande och sociologi ges här ut i en reviderad upplaga med nya exempel och hänvisningar till aktuell forskning och teori. Nya kapitel om kriminologi och våldtäkt samt sociala rörelser har också tillkommit. Boken vänder sig i första hand till studenter i sociologi och andra samhälls­vetenskapliga ämnen, men också till dem som vill sätta sig in i hur genusperspektiv och feministisk teori kan förstås och tillämpas.

Vetenskaplig teori och metod är ett heltäckande stöd genom hela din högskole­utbildning avseende vetenskapliga kunskaper med examens­arbetet som mål. Den fungerar som en ständig kunskapskälla och uppslagsverk samt ger vägledning avseende metod, inför vetenskaplig granskning, sammanställning, presentation och publicering av det färdiga examensarbetet. Till denna tredje upplaga av boken har kapitel om tematisk analys, diskursanalys och Delfimetoden lagts till. Samtliga kapitel har genomgått omfattande revideringar med nya exempel och några kapitel har fått nya författare, vilket medfört helt nya versioner av kapitlen. Dessutom finns nu instuderingsfrågor till varje kapitel. Vetenskaplig teori och metod vänder sig främst till studenter på grundläggande och avancerad nivå inom omvårdnad, vårdvetenskap, socialt arbete, fysioterapi och arbetsterapi.

This book introduces environmental participation as a distinct field comprising diverse practices. It presents examples of public participation specifically in environmental science, decision making and expertise. The first chapter introduces the science studies perspective and the key concepts that underpin the argument for approaching such a range of practices as a coherent field. The following three chapters explore a wide range of practical examples of how the public can participate in all three domains. Drawing on her experience with a variety of transdisciplinary projects Landström discusses topics including the coproduction of knowledge about flooding, community involvement with radioactive waste disposal and collaborative water quality modelling. She then goes on to cover citizen science and social movement expertise as environmental participation practices. The concluding chapter reflects on the challenges as well as future opportunities of environmental participation. This book is aimed at readers from a variety of academic and non-academic backgrounds and will be a great interest to social and natural scientists, students and practitioners.

This book explores the practice of transdisciplinary research through the narratives of different individuals taking part in a project investigating local water management. The research project ran for one year and brought seven university scientists together with seven local residents to explore relationships between water quantity, water quality, abstraction of water resources and how to reduce pollution. Landström presents three conversations that convey the experience of transdisciplinary practice in natural language in order to offer insights into the workings of a transdisciplinary Environmental Competency Group. The conversations highlight Environmental Competency Groups as tools enabling collaboration between knowledgeable individuals who do not share a common scientific vocabulary. Transdisciplinary Environmental Research will appeal to natural and social scientists interested in working collaboratively with each other and the general public on environmental research projects.
