The measure, originally used in the US by Beilock et al. (2010), required respondents to draw two pictures: one of someone good at mathematics and another good at reading. They also had to show whether each drawing was of a male or female by ticking a provided box. Findings indicate children are more likely to draw someone of the same assigned gender as their own for both skillsets. Male respondents were found to be more likely to indicate more traditional views in males being good at mathematics and females good at reading. The article concludes that drawings can be used as quantitative self-completion methods with child respondents, whilst presenting evidence to consider how we do so with concepts like gender that require validity and can be used internationally.","PeriodicalId":14272,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Research Methodology","volume":"43 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134973198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper is based on in-depth qualitative research that examined the lived realities of unemployed young people residing in the township of Daveyton in South Africa’s Gauteng Province. This paper aims to transcend conventional perspectives on ‘outsider–insider’ dynamics as these do not fully explain the complexity of conducting research in a familiar field. The research involved the use of one-on-one interviews and group discussions. I use the term politics of conducting research in a familiar field to explain the texture, language, and daily realities of Daveyton, which are familiar to me given my upbringing in a similar community that I grew up in. To elaborate on this, I formulate three dimensions of the politics of researching a familiar field which are as follows: (1) Ambiguities of the ‘element of surprise’; (2) Re-negotiating entry; and (3) wider concept of the researcher as ‘outsider’. The paper concludes by calling on researchers conducting studies within their own or similar communities to pay specific attention to the nuances of class privilege, exclusion, and power in order to provide meaningful analysis of the existential conditions that participants face.KEYWORDS: Youthunemploymentpositionalityresearch methodologyracetownship AcknowledgmentsI wish to thank my colleague Ms Boitumelo Matlala for her critical comments on earlier drafts of the paper.

The term ‘black african’ is used within nationalist-orientated political approaches such as those of the ruling African National Congress (ANC), which still uses the notion of a ‘National Question’ in its analysis of South Africa’s social formation, that national question speaks of ‘blacks in general and Africans in particular’. While this term is used in general parlance, it is challenged from a variety of viewpoints in South African society.2. The usage of this type of language is common mainly in black communities and takes different forms. It is gendered in the sense that amongst its main speakers are males who often appropriate it as a means of building rapport and engendering a sense of brotherhood. The term ‘tsotsi’ has been given greater prominence by the Academy Award winning movie ‘tsotsi’, which is based on a story about a street thug who after stealing a car discovers that there is a baby in the back seat of the car.3. In South Africa these are popular hangout spots where people socialize and have a what Americans call a barbeque, in South Africa we call it a braai.

{"title":"Reflecting on research at the interface of knowledge and the importance of decolonising transformational unlearning for non-Indigenous researchers","authors":"Emma George","doi":"10.1080/13645579.2023.2269027","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13645579.2023.2269027","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTDecolonising methodology requires that researchers engage in a process of learning and unlearning. This research on the inconsistent recognition of Indigenous rights and social determinants of Indigenous health in Australian policy implementation was positioned at the interface of knowledge systems and drew on a weaving metaphor to guide reflection on learning and unlearning. The aim of this paper is to share a reflection on this research methodology from a non-Indigenous standpoint. Reflexivity, deep listening, peer mentoring and supervision are identified as essential components of decolonising methodology. Through the process of weaving, both practically and philosophically, the significance of transformational unlearning is discussed. This reflection is offered as an example to other non-Indigenous researchers who are open to the challenge of decolonising research at the interface of knowledge.KEYWORDS: Reflectiondecolonising methodologyinterface of knowledgeweaving AcknowledgmentsThis research was conducted on the traditional land of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains and on the land of the Yorta Yorta and Bangerang people of the Greater Shepparton region.

We had set out to investigate whether individual stylistic features persist in different modes of textual production and designed a complex set of data-collection procedures, which we then adopted for use in a fully virtual environment with 112 informants, who were asked to provide language samples in eight discourse types. We conclude that the unintended shift to virtual settings had only a minimal impact on the volume and quality of the data. While the process was occasionally afflicted by IT-related technical issues and made extra demands on the data collector, it also created opportunities, notably around the management of interactional power asymmetries. Additional benefits included instant troubleshooting during data handover sessions and the ability to recruit participants who would not have been able to travel to face-to-face sessions.","PeriodicalId":14272,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Research Methodology","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135483561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
