Methodological Precision In Qualitative Research: Slavish Adherence Or “Following The Yellow Brick Road?”, John R. Cutcliffe, Henry G. Harder

The Qualitative Report

Qualitative research has withstood many challenges on its way to becoming a credible research paradigm, though it remains the case that the paradigm contains ongoing methodological debates. One such debate is, for want of a better expression, the necessity for methodological precision (fundamentalism or purity). While it is accurate that research methodologies are somewhat fluid in that they are refined over time, it is equally correct that some researchers fall into a trap in claiming such fluidity is the reason for their imprecise use of a research methodology. Given that scientific knowledge is inextricably linked to the practice of method …

Connecting Research With Communities Through Performative Social Science, Kip Jones

The Qualitative Report

A pioneer in Performative Social Science, Kip Jones makes a case for the potential of arts-based social science to reach audiences and engage communities. Jones contextualises both the use of the arts in Social Science, as well as the utility of Social Science in the Arts and Humanities. The discussion turns next to examples from his own work and what happens when Art talks to Social Science and Social Science responds to Art. The benefits of such interaction and interdisciplinarity are outlined in relation to a recently completed project using multi-methods, which resulted in the production of a professional short …

Using Social Media For Dynamic Library Service Delivery: The Nigeria Experience, Chinwe Nwogo Ezeani, Uzoamaka Igwesi

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This paper examines how Nigerian Libraries can leverage on social networking and social media skills to provide dynamic library services in the face of dwindling economic problems in Nigeria. The unprecedented technological advancement of the 21^st century, no doubt has impacted on library services globally and in Nigeria in particular. The social media hype has gradually crept into the library profession- with social sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, YouTube, Library Thing, Ning; it has become evident that our services will need to change to meet the growing needs of our end users. Libraries in Nigeria have been challenged …

Call For Papers: "Women And Leadership: Economic, Political, And Cultural Aspects" Deadline: April 1, 2013

Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought

The Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought invites contributions for its next issue: “Women and Leadership: Economic, Political, and Cultural Aspects.” At a recent gathering of youth at the “Youth Venture 2012 Summit” held in Washington, D.C., participants were advised that a “leader is a person who guides others toward a common goal, showing the way by example, and creating an environment in which other team members feel actively involved in the entire process, not a boss, but a person committed to carrying out the mission of the venture.” In this issue of the journal, the concept of women as leaders …

Contemporary Feminist Art: Old Themes, New Variations, Harry J. Weil., Deborah Frizzell

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

In 1971, Linda Nochlin asked: “Why have there been no great women artists?” Forty years later, feminist art practice has become as an important area of study in museums and universities across the globe, highlighted by the founding of the Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum and the ground breaking exhibition “Wack! Art and the Feminist Revolution.” Feminist art, which can be traced back to the early 1960s as part of second wave feminism, was a rallying cry to subvert the foundations of the art establishment. These early pioneers developed a visual rhetoric focused on the female body …

Residual Media, Art And Collaboration, Chris Burnett

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

This session considers residual cultural forms and the artistic collaborations that cluster around them. “Residual” here follows Raymond Williams' usage referring to media and artifacts created in the past but still actively clinging to and meaningful in the present. The residual embraces the many ways that contemporary artists are innovatively retrieving and reevaluating discarded artifacts, fashions, and older types of media. The realm of the residual may also relate to landscape reclamation projects that reconnect the public to abandoned sites and reorient the appeal of past ruins for the present and future. Of special interest to the session is the …

Spectator Rules: Shaping Making & Meaning In Contemporary Art, Mysoon Rizk, Kristin M. Brockman, Nogin Chung, Allison Norris, Scott A. Sherer

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

While considering works of art, how do we characterize roles played by spectatorship, whether in the making of (including by artists and viewers), or even in the making meaning of (including by scholars and viewers), such work? Speakers engage the question from a variety of positions: considering how curatorial practice not only steers but also gets steered by viewers; addressing the dynamism of spectator experience with installations that demand performative engagement; analyzing examples of work specifically invested in triggering an active spectatorship; and characterizing the roles of artists and audiences as inherently generative in the production of meaning.

Technicity And Aesthetics In The Photographic Image, Renee C. Hoogland

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012

Since its emergence as theoretical object, photography has been defined by the loss of its identity as a historical and aesthetic object. Rosalind Krauss maintains that, “in becoming a theoretical object, photography loses its specificity as a medium,” so that “now photography can only be viewed through the undeniable fact of its own obsolescence.” Digitization further complicates the ontology of photography. Today, Geoffrey Batchen submits, the “suggestion is that a diminution of our collective faith in the photograph's indexical relationship to the real will inevitably lead to the death of photography as an autonomous medium.”

In contrast to such ambivalent …

Photography Whatever We Want It To Be, Jyl A. Kelley

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012 Digital Publications

Contemporary photography has evolved from an orphaned art into a mainstay for global imaging culture. Today anyone can make a picture or image, manipulate it, montage it, and publish it on the Internet. Photographic art practice will always answer back to its history but more importantly and inherent in its digital form and distribution, photographic art is responding to the modern ubiquity of the digital image and digital age.

The Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act: Why It Is Important For Women’S Health, Mary Fanning

Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought

President Barack Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) on March 23, 2010 ending the long history of disparity in access to health care services between insured and uninsured persons. Disparity between women and men in obtaining health insurance coverage is also corrected in the act. Women’s organizations that have focused attention on women’s distinctive health needs over the past century and a half laid the foundation for provisions in the legislation that address women’s health. This article addresses health insurance coverage, its impact on health, the particular challenges women have confronted in seeking coverage, …

Designing Effective Group Projects: Applying Student Feedback To Project Design, Apryl Brodersen

Administrative Issues Journal

By integrating group projects into the curriculum, educators can seize the opportunity to provide students not only with marketable skills, but the chance to deepening their understanding of a given topic or subject matter by learning from one another. Designing an effective group project, however, is a challenging task. In the current paper, I utilize results from a student survey on characteristics of effective groups to design an applied group project and describe six key lessons learned by incorporating student feedback into group project design.

Monitoring Students And Enforcing Information Technology Use Policies In Universities, Jimmy D. Speers

Administrative Issues Journal

This paper presents the results of an Internet survey of university Information Technology (IT) managers on the use/abuse of IT resources by a university’s students. The survey sought data on university size, public/private organization, whether there were policies in place on acceptable use of IT resources, possible student use and actions, and finally how IT resources were monitored if they were monitored. Results revealed that most universities had policies on the proper use of IT resources but were very unlikely to monitor use/abuse of IT resources mainly due to a lack of personnel. Some potential abuses were identified and respondents …
