This book showcases the critical contribution that scholarship in the field of social interaction can make to the study of the senses.

Centred on an understanding of the senses as interactionally configured between people and the ways in which people themselves experience the senses-how they build and negotiate meanings between each other about what is being sensed, what the social implications of the senses are, and how these might relate to sets of activities or interests-it brings together a range of case studies to show how talk, gesture, and various aspects of the physical environment can be mobilised to make the senses accountable to others.

Presenting the latest developments in interactionist research on the senses, Sensing Life will appeal to social scientists with interests in interactionist sociology and related approaches to research, and social understandings of the senses.

Navigating the World of Digital Data: The Challenges of Social Research Methods is a timely text that explores the emerging challenges and opportunities posed by digitalization in social research.

This book brings together foundational methodological concepts with a reflective openness to innovation. It examines how the spread of digital technologies has generated an unprecedented flow of data, opening up new opportunities to investigate social phenomena. The book explores the main features and challenges of digital data and shows how they reshape crucial aspects of social research. Rather than treating data as neutral, it highlights their cognitive, social, and technological construction processes and the interpretative work required to use them effectively. Classic methodological concerns are reaffirmed as highly relevant and are examined alongside the mediating role of platforms, infrastructures, and algorithms, offering readers a conceptual framework for critically engaging with digital data while preserving scientific rigor.

It is aimed at researchers, academics, and university students in sociology and the social sciences, as well as scholars in digital humanities and data studies. It encourages readers to cultivate methodological awareness and critical reflection when working with digital data in social research.

This book examines walking together as a research method, a social practice, and a paradigmatic social phenomenon. Anchored in long-term fieldwork in post-apartheid South Africa, it explores how walking together exposes the dissonance between lived racialized power asymmetries and methodological ideals that assume universal accessibility of public space. In doing so, the book turns a critical eye toward recent developments in social ontology and phenomenology that underpin walking methodology, interrogating their own theoretical commitments, their claims to universality, as well as their attempts to account for power inequality. The book further shows how the history of walking is deeply intertwined with the history of participant observation, revealing how methodological ideals have been shaped by the embodied, uneven conditions of research on the ground. Combining peripatetic ethnography with theoretical reflections on pace bias, hidden particulars, and agency, the book builds a case for a more accountable walking methodology and offers conceptual tools for working with, rather than smoothing over, difference. By unsettling idealized accounts of walking together, this book offers a fresh approach to movement- based methods that centers lived complexity. It will appeal to scholars and students of anthropology, philosophy, sociology, urban studies, mobility, and methodology - as well as anyone curious about the politics of bodies in public.

This two-volume handbook, written by leading international scholars, provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on the collection, analysis, and application of time use data.

Time is a crucial yet finite social resource, fundamental to processes of growth, equality, and well-being. Much of the world's essential production-raising children, preparing food, household maintenance-occurs within households, and relies on time, rather than monetary exchange, as its central input. Despite its centrality, this non-market dimension is often overlooked in official indicators. Time use diary data is increasingly recognised as the foremost source of reliable information on these key temporal dimensions of daily life.

The second volume provides an authoritative outline of the contribution of time use research to key contemporary scholarly and policy applications in both the Global North and the Global South. The chapters consist of a wide-ranging selection of exemplary contributions chosen to illustrate the varied areas of substantive empirical research for which time use diary data has been used in research across the globe, including gender and life-course studies, research on employment and the labour force, care-giving, and contributions to the measurement of both population well-being and sustainable development goals.

With a focus on the application and future directions of time use research, it will be a valuable point of reference for students and scholars from fields including sociology, demography, social policy, economics, gender studies, psychology, leisure and tourism studies, public health, and legal studies. The first volume of the handbook addresses methodological issues concerning the collection and analysis of data and is available at www.routledge.com/9781041123934.

Written from an equitable data perspective, Questioning Technology: Addressing Divisive Data in Research and Practice translates the pressing challenges within data collection, data categorization and data commercialisation to enable researchers, SMEs, and practitioners to better question why and how they use data.

Offering an alternative that diverges from the current narrative of subjective ethics, this guide affords authentic perspective and confidence to respectively question the function of technology and the intensity of data collection, the ethics of data use, data collection risks and mitigation, data commercialisation, and the impact this has on digital policy. Split into three parts, the first part of the guide introduces the concepts surrounding digital inclusion, data dignity, technical language and the way in which humans are part of the digital ecosystem. The second part discusses and elaborates on the challenges within data collection, data categorization and commercialisation. The third part of the guide focuses on existing and recent policy progression around data and AI and to what degree this knowledge can be applied in the digital and physical realm.

Through a shared and accurate technological language informed by clear and equitable digital terminology and characteristics, O'Higgins and Halliday call for a step-change that can be used in industry and academia to bridge the language and knowledge gap for aligned collaboration through accessibility towards true digital equity.

This textbook introduces invariant measurement in the human sciences based on the principles of Rasch measurement theory and presents explanatory Rasch models that integrate item and person covariates that can deepen the understanding of item response processes. The basic family of Rasch models reflects descriptive measurement models. This book describes explanatory item response models that can be used to explore and predict item response probabilities using item and person variables (covariates) that can be explicitly included in measurement models for the purpose of constructing scales to represent latent variables.

The analyses described in this book offer methodological tools that can be used to delve more deeply into person responses to a set of items designed to represent a latent variable or construct. Item and person covariates provide insight into aspects of measurement procedures that may influence or explain measurement properties, such as item difficulty or level of person achievement. Rasch measurement theory provides the opportunity to include both person and item covariates that allows for more nuanced substantive analyses of latent variables that go beyond description. Across chapters, the book progresses from foundational principles and generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) for estimating Rasch models, to applications in measurement quality evaluation, explanatory modeling, rater-mediated assessments, instrument development, and rating scale analysis.

Invariant Measurement with Explanatory Rasch Models in the Human Sciences will be a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the human sciences attending advanced undergraduate courses on test theory and measurement, as well as graduate-level courses and seminars on rating scales and invariant measurement. This book can also be used as a supplementary textbook in a variety of courses on research methodology in the social, behavioral and health sciences including psychology, public health, anthropology, sociology education and economics.

This book examines the contents of libraries of Western individuals and trading companies in the Mediterranean and India between approximately 1600 and 1750. Relying on extensive archival research, it provides a rare contribution to global book history.
The libraries studied are mostly small in scale, with very different scopes and characters. Catholic missionary libraries and the Mediterranean and British companies' institutional libraries showed more standardization regarding the role books played in worship. In contrast, private libraries belonging to merchants, physicians, surgeons, scientific travellers, and ambassadors were characterized primarily by their owners' professions.
The volume also examines how policies like censorship shaped libraries. This may partially explain many libraries' more conservative characters, which manifested in the lack of broader Jansenist or clearly visible early and advanced Enlightenment influences. This book considers the "otherness" of Western cultural presence abroad until 1750: Westerners were just another trading population entering those regions. Performing a kind of proto-segregation, in "close distance" to their hosts, they mostly read books by other Westerners.

The Palgrave Geopolitical Atlas: State and Quasi-State Actors in Great Power Competition is a comprehensive, authoritative survey of the twenty-first century global politics.
