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. In search of conceptual clarity as I begin further work on the Technologies of Belonging. Project with Katharina Schramm and Amade M'Charek. If you are the sort who likes conceptual frameworks (as I am) then you'll find this a worthwhile read. 2) Identifications and emotional attachments. Yuval-Davis views identi...
