This volume serves as an essential resource for advanced graduate students, early-career faculty, and anyone seeking a deeper, more dynamic understanding of the philosophical and theoretical foundations of qualitative research in education. It emphasizes the idea that all research projects-regardless of discipline or method-are inherently shaped by philosophical and theoretical assumptions, many of which often go unrecognized. By bringing these assumptions to the forefront, the book encourages readers to critically examine the frameworks that underpin their inquiries.

Rather than presenting philosophy and theory as static tools to be applied, each chapter invites readers to engage with generative philosophical orientations and concepts. Topics such as epistemology, genealogy, posthumanism, and new materialism are explored by contributors who offer not prescriptive models but new possibilities for understanding and engaging with research phenomena. The volume also delves into feminist theory, diffractive methodologies for racial justice, immersive cartography, hauntology, and sonic methodologies, demonstrating how philosophical thinking can inspire fresh questions, methods, and insights.

Designed for those committed to reflective and socially responsive educational inquiry, this collection positions philosophy and theory as living, evolving resources. It equips readers to uncover and engage with the often-hidden assumptions that shape research, fostering a more thoughtful, creative, and impactful approach to qualitative inquiry.

This festschrift honours the work of Liz Stanley, whose scholarship has been highly influential in opening new paths in feminist research across the human sciences. Bringing together contributions from scholars shaped by her thinking, the volume reflects both on the intellectual reach of her work and on its continuing capacity to inspire feminist inquiry.

The chapters engage with key strands of Stanley's intellectual legacy, including feminist epistemologies, the auto/ biographical I, letters and correspondences, the epistolarium, and her concept of archigraphics as a way of opening the 'black box' of the archive. Through a wide range of studies, contributors explore her challenge to mainstream sociology, her distinctive approach to feminist research with texts, her foundational role in auto/ biography studies, her systematic analysis of letters and correspondences, and her pioneering work on archives, temporality, and the writing of history. Collectively, the contributions trace an intellectual lineage and demonstrate the enduring relevance and generative power of Stanley's scholarship across disciplines.

This volume is intended for scholars and postgraduate students in the social sciences and humanities, particularly those working in feminist theory, qualitative methods, archival studies, auto/ biography, and the sociology of knowledge.

Amid growing calls for inclusivity and representation in research, the role of diversity leadership is becoming central to fostering robust, innovative, and socially impactful research and research environments. Diversity in research is more than just a metric or policy; it enhances the quality and relevance of scientific inquiry and advances the credibility of research in society. As research institutions worldwide establish professional standards and develop roles for research managers and administrators (RMAs), there is a need for RMA professionals to possess a nuanced understanding of diversity across cultures, disciplines, and institutional frameworks.

This comprehensive work provides hands-on strategies for diversity leadership, tailored specifically to the RMA profession, and is the first of its kind to contextualize diversity as a practical, core competence. Christensen's volume covers everything from pre-award to post-award stages and delves into personal and organizational leadership, helping RMAs foster inclusive research environments. By building a shared vocabulary and a set of global principles, the work aims to empower RMAs to advance diversity in research and research management, responsibly navigate cultural challenges, and create pathways for sustainable, impactful change.

Offering actionable insights for RMAs and research leaders alike, Diversity Leadership for Research Managers is an indispensable resource for anyone in research administration seeking to make a meaningful impact on the inclusivity and excellence of research.

"Possibility and Statistics" (P.S.) is a rigorously ethical, mixed-method way of knowing that centers lived experience, assets, and human agency; treats oral narratives as primary data; and designs measures, tools, and dissemination practices to cultivate flourishing rather than manage risk. Ivory A. Toldson's Possibility and Statistics is more than a book about statistical methods; it is a profound and necessary intervention into the soul of education and social science. It is a methodological treatise and a deeply personal work of literary scholarship that redefines the purpose of data in a world saturated with it. By developing a new statistical language, Toldson demonstrates that the principles of possibility-care, context, and potential-can be as analytically rigorous as the principles of probability.

Possibility and Statistics introduces a new analytical toolkit; formula-driven methods designed to quantify hope. Metrics like the Overcoming Adversity Index (OAI), which measures success relative to context; the Potential Realization Quotient (PRQ), which quantifies achievement beyond statistical expectations; and the Resource Parity Index (RPI), which measures inequities in resources, give practitioners tangible tools.

Toldson crafts a powerful argument that the tools of statistics, so often used to document despair and predict failure, must be re-engineered to architect hope and cultivate human potential. The result is a work that is at once a rigorous academic text and a moral call to arms for researchers, educators, policymakers, and anyone who wields data that touches human lives.

This book is a practical, research-informed guide to using generative AI as a multi-purpose writing tool. Unlike existing resources that either treat AI as an intrinsic threat to academic integrity or focus on its philosophical implications, this book repositions AI as a powerful collaborator throughout all stages of the writing process-pre-writing, drafting, and revision. It is designed for undergraduates in the humanities and sciences. Drawing on years of hands-on experimentation and teaching, this book provides students with a series of strategies and classroom-tested exercises that demonstrate how to meaningfully integrate AI into their writing workflows. Moreover, this project synthesizes all of its individual materials into a comprehensive framework grounded in process pedagogy, making the book comprehensive in ways that will prove appealing to educators interested in writing instruction, curriculum design, and digital literacy. This book is organized into three parts aligned with the natural flow of composition: Part 1: Pre-Writing - rhetorical situation/prompt engineering, invention, researchPart 2: Writing - outlining, drafting, paragraphingPart 3: Post-Writing - revision, editing, self-assessment With strong potential for academic markets, The Process of Generative AI Writing equips undergraduate readers with a practical framework to ethically and effectively write with AI.
