Abstract

"This chapter introduces our holistic view of knowledge production in sociology and political science. Enlarging our view beyond the individualistic publication pipeline metaphor, we press the conception of academics as citizens of a knowledge polity with rights and responsibilities. Knowledge production does not just mean research, but encompasses teaching, reviewing, blogging, commenting, and other activities, which signal its communal nature. We then advance an explanation for knowledge production that situates academics in institutional and social contexts - including the family - while maintaining individual agency. We search for inequalities by gender and racial/ethnic identification, but are careful to consider the changing compositions of political science and sociology (both are diversifying steadily) and different situations (e.g., faculty rank) when making comparisons. The chapter describes our PASS study, which sampled academic departments and surveyed 1,700 faculty in 2017. Respondent reports were linked with data on lifetime publications, Twitter activity and other data"--

Abstract

All social and policy researchers need to synthesize data into a visual representation. Producing good visualizations combines creativity and technique. This book teaches the techniques and basics to produce a variety of visualizations, allowing readers to communicate data and analyses in a creative and effective way. Visuals for tables, time series, maps, text, and networks are carefully explained and organized, showing how to choose the right plot for the type of data being analysed and displayed. Examples are drawn from public policy, public safety, education, political tweets, and public health. The presentation proceeds step by step, starting from the basics, in the programming languages R and Python so that readers learn the coding skills while simultaneously becoming familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of each visualization. No prior knowledge of either Python or R is required. Code for all the visualizations are available from the book's website.

Abstract

Pour répondre aux besoins des étudiants en sociologie et psychologie, cet ouvrage expose avec clarté et rigueur les principales techniques d'enquête utilisées dans les sciences sociales. Questionnaires, interviews, sondages sont couramment utilisés pour l'analyse des faits de société. Il ne se passe pas une semaine sans qu'un journal quotidien ou hebdomadaire ne livre ce que "pensent", "disent", "font" ou "ressentent" les Français. Tout se passe comme si l'on extrayait directement des informations préexistantes. Or ces données sont d'abord fabriquées par le "regard" de l'observateur, l'"écoute" de l'interviewer ou les questions de l'"enquêteur". Observer, interviewer ou questionner sont en réalité de véritables techniques que cet ouvrage permet de comprendre et de maîtriser.

Abstract

Quelles sont aujourd'hui les contraintes qui pèsent sur la production de connaissances sur la société ? Quelles sont les contingences qui la rendent possible et celles qui la menacent ? Quand on réfléchit aux formes de surveillance qui s'exercent sur les chercheurs en sciences sociales jusqu'à mettre en danger leur enquête, on pense aux réactions des personnes rencontrées dans les investigations. Il faut songer aussi au regard des collègues universitaires et à l'attention administrative, gestionnaire, judiciaire ou policière qui encadre le travail des chercheurs.Au-delà des controverses publiques, l'ouvrage analyse ces points avec la rigueur du raisonnement sociologique, donnant à voir des expériences d'enquêtes dans des contextes à la fois démocratiques et autoritaires. En parcourant l'ouvrage, le lecteur portera un regard cru sur la condition de chercheur de terrain et ses enjeux scientifiques, mais aussi sur ses enjeux citoyens pour alimenter le débat public

Abstract

"Researchers in the social sciences and beyond are dealing more and more with massive quantities of text data requiring analysis, from historical letters to the constant stream of content in social media. Traditional texts on statistical analysis have focused on numbers, but this book will provide a practical introduction to the quantitative analysis of textual data. Using up-to-date R methods, this book will take readers through the text analysis process, from text mining and pre-processing the text to final analysis. It includes two major case studies using historical and more contemporary text data to demonstrate the practical applications of these methods. Currently, there is no introductory how-to book on textual data analysis with R that is up-to-date and applicable across the social sciences. Code and a variety of additional resources are available on an accompanying website for the book"--
