Sociology 52: 2: Becker on Social Science Writing
http://readingsociology.blogspot.com/2010/02/2-becker-on-social-science-writing.html
Sunday, 14 February 2010. 2: Becker on Social Science Writing. All this came to mind when I revisited Becker's. Writing For Social Scientists. Ed 2007, originally 1986) while preparing a teaching session for students stressing about their undergraduate dissertations. Becker's book is much more than a 'how to' guide to writing. It is rooted in a deep psychological and sociological understanding of the writing process and the barriers to good writing. As Becker suggests:. Understand as the conventions of a...

Sociology 52: 13: Machado and Silva: Forensic DNA in Portugal
http://readingsociology.blogspot.com/2010/07/13-machado-and-silva-forensic-dna-in.html
Wednesday, 14 July 2010. 13: Machado and Silva: Forensic DNA in Portugal. Interestingly in 2005 the Portuguese government contemplated creating a universal forensic and identification database arguing that such an approach would provide humanitarian benefits and “avoid discrimination”. Instead Portugal has followed the lead of other countries in establishing a database of the ‘criminal population’. The rules for inclusion are in comparison with the British case very strict.

Sociology 52: 3: Sarah Franklin gets Sheepish
http://readingsociology.blogspot.com/2010/02/3-sarah-franklin-gets-sheepish.html
Sunday, 21 February 2010. 3: Sarah Franklin gets Sheepish. A drawback of the ‘what I am reading this week’ conceit of Sociology 52. Is the requirement to confess to books that I really should have already read but never have. Sarah Franklin’s study of the world’s most famous clone – Dolly the Sheep ( Dolly Mixtures: the Remaking of Genealogy. 2007]) - falls into that category. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Thursday, 22 September 2011. 20: Yuval-Davis: Belonging and the Politics of Belonging. I turned to Nira Yuval-Davis's paper 'Belonging and the Politics of Belonging' ( Patterns of Prejudice.

Economics Notebook: April 2013

Monday, April 22, 2013. Notes on Sraffa's Production, Chapter 7. 50 Two methods of production for two joint products: or, one method for producing them and two methods for using them in the production of a third commodity. So far we have worked with industries, each producing a single commodity. But we may now ask "What happens if a single industry produces multiple products? For example, we have something like:. 150 q wheat 12 t. iron 3 units Labor → 3 pigs 50 q. wheat. Note we have two. Sraffa suggests...

Honour Amongst Aid Workers | Waylaid Dialectic
https://waylaiddialectic.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/honour-amongst-aid-workers
March 18, 2015. Honour Amongst Aid Workers. Filed under: Random Musings. 8212; terence @ 5:02 am. My wife and I often take development reading to bed. The end result is always the same: sleep within minutes. So I knew something was up recently when, hours after I’d dozed off, I woke to find her still reading. Curious, I levered my copy of Historicism and Contemporary Aid Discourses from where it had slumped onto my chest and turned in search of an explanation. Comments Off on Honour Amongst Aid Workers.
