Famous Brazilian educational and social theorist Paulo Freire presents his ideas on the importance of community solidarity in moving toward social justice in schools and society. In a set of talks and interviews shortly before his death, Freire addresses issues not often highlighted in his work, such as globalization, post-modern fatalism, and the qualities of educators for the 21st century. His illuminating comments are supplemented with commentaries by other well-known scholars, such as Ana Maria Araujo Freire, Norman Denzin, Henry Giroux, and Donaldo Macedo.

"Our present era of digital communication presents endless opportunities for the collection and analysis of social data in new and novel ways. It also presents new and unanticipated ways to fail, as researchers are often inventing elements of their methodologies on the fly or studying a phenomena or media platform for the first time. In Research Exposed, Eszter Hargittai and her team of experienced researchers offer detailed behind-the-scenes accounts of conducting empirical social science research in the digital age. It brings vivid first-hand accounts of innovative research projects and introduces readers to a wide range of digital age methods, including data scraping, surveys, in-person observations, and on-line content analysis. The chapters draw on lessons learned from over a dozen scholars by addressing the methodological challenges that researchers faced when gathering and analyzing data. Some of the essays focus on the behind-the-scenes challenges when applying familiar research methods like interviewing, ethnographic work, and secondary data analysis to digital media, while others examine the challenges associated with pioneering genres of research associated with new media such as data scraping. The goal of the book is provide insight for those who want to do their own digital research about how mistakes can be made and avoided"--

Disruptions as Opportunities: Governing Chinese Society with Interactive Authoritarianism addresses the long-standing puzzle of why China outlived other one-party authoritarian regimes with particular attention to how the state manages an emerging civil society. Drawing upon over 1,200 survey responses conducted in 126 villages in the Sichuan province, as well as 70 interviews conducted with Civil Society Organization (CSO) leaders and government officials, participant observation, and online research, the book proposes a new theory of interactive authoritarianism to explain how an adaptive authoritarian state manages nascent civil society. Sun argues that when new phenomena and forces are introduced into Chinese society, the Chinese state adopts a three-stage interactive approach toward societal actors: toleration, differentiation, and legalization without institutionalization. Sun looks to three disruptions--earthquakes, internet censorship, and social-media-based guerilla resistance to the ride-sharing industry--to test his theory about the three-stage interactive authoritarian approach and argues that the Chinese government evolves and consolidates its power in moments of crisis.
