      Mundane methods

      Innovative ways to research the everyday

      by Helen Holmes, Sarah Marie Hall

      Mundane Methods is an innovative and original collection which will make a distinctive methodological and empirical contribution to research on the everyday. Bringing together a range of interdisciplinary approaches it provides a practical, hands-on approach for scholars interested in studying the mundane and exploring its potential. Divided into three key themes this volume explores methods for studying: materials and memories, emotions and senses, and mobilities and motion; with encounters, relationships, practices, spaces, temporalities and imaginaries cross-cutting throughout. In doing so, it draws on the work of a range of established and up-and-coming scholars researching the everyday, including human geographers, sociologists, anthropologists, urban planners, cartographers, and fashion historians. With empirical examples, practical tips, ethical considerations, and exercises.

      Creative research communication

      Theory and practice (Second edition)

      by Clare Wilkinson, Emma Weitkamp

      Creative Research Communication explores contemporary approaches to research communication and engagement, whilst examining the history and key debates in the field. Starting from the premise that researchers can and ought to participate in the public sphere, in any discipline, this book provides practical guidance and advice on engaging the public inclusively where they are, whether that is at the theatre, via policymakers, at a science festival or through citizen science. Researchers increasingly recognise the need to move away from one-size fits all and embrace opportunities for creative approaches to research communication. This book argues for a shift away from metrics and tick box approaches and towards approaches that work for individuals, in the context of their own discipline and interests, and with an inclusive approach. Through a combination of practical examples and theoretical context, it offers an accessible introduction to student and practitioner alike. This updated edition contains new chapters on inclusivity and professionalization, and all content has been thoroughly updated to reflect developments in the field, covering topics such as digital, intersectionality, activism, internet safety and reliability and decolonialisation of science.

      Reengineering the Census Bureau's Annual Economic Surveys

      by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Committee on National Statistics, Panel on Reengineering the Census Bureau's Annual Economic Surveys, Nancy K. Kirkendall, Glenn D. White, Jr., Constance F. Citro, Katharine Abraham

      The U.S. Census Bureau maintains an important portfolio of economic statistics programs, including quinquennial economic censuses, annual economic surveys, and quarterly and monthly indicator surveys. Government, corporate, and academic users rely on the data to understand the complexity and dynamism of the U.S. economy. Historically, the Bureau’s economic statistics programs developed sector by sector (e.g., separate surveys of manufacturing, retail trade, and wholesale trade), and they continue to operate largely independently. Consequently, inconsistencies in questionnaire content, sample and survey design, and survey operations make the data not only more difficult to use, but also more costly to collect and process and more burdensome to the business community than they could be. This report reviews the Census Bureau’s annual economic surveys. Specifically, it examines the design, operations, and products of 11 surveys and makes recommendations to enable them to better answer questions about the evolving economy.
