Integrity and Historical Research
There have been serious debates between historians, novelists and filmmakers as to how best present historical narratives.When writers and filmmakers talk of using historical research with integrity, what exactly do they mean?Integrity and Historical Research examines this question in detail.The first chapter discusses the concept of integrity.The chapters that follow reflect on this philosophical treatment in the light of fiction and film that deals with history in a number of ways.How should writers and filmmakers use lives? Can, and may, people who are now dead and who may have lived long ago, be defamed?The authors include academics, historians, social historians, medievalists, oral historians, literary theorists, historical novelists and script writers.They examine the theoretical influences and practical choices that involve and concern writers and filmmakers who rely on historical research.The desire to be accurate may often conflict with the need to produce a work that goes beyond the mere depiction of events in order to excite the interest of readers and to hold that interest.At the same time there is a developing emphasis on historians, to write well in clear, accessible prose, which may involve using the novelists’ techniques.How much license may be given to writers of fiction and filmmakers in their depiction of historical characters and events?This book begins to answer this question, while inviting further discussion.

Systems and Innovation Research in Transition : Research Questions and Trends in Historical Perspective
In the last decades it has become more and more imperative for our societies, and for decision makers in all areas of society, to understand the dynamics through which innovation systems develop and through which socio-technical systems transform themselves.As both innovation and transformation are strongly intertwined, it has equally become imperative to analyse their dynamics as well as their interplay. This open access volume reflects on the research fields that have developed in the last five decades to do exactly that.It defines and delineates research on systems and innovation as encompassing the scientific study of, first, the conditions, dynamics and impacts associated with the generation and uptake of innovations and, second, the development and transformation of functional systems satisfying essential needs such as the provision of energy or water.Further, the area of Systems and Innovation Research (SIR) is characterised by problem and stakeholder oriented research.We chose five decades as time frame because we noted that roughly 50 years ago a number of research institutes dedicated to SIR were founded and the SIR area started to grow significantly.We present a systematic history of nine selected fields within the area of SIR (Innovation policy, Innovation indicators, Foresight, Policy Evaluation, Technology Assessment, Production Paradigms, Renewable Energies, Energy Efficiency, Water Use).We also present a conceptual framework to understand the processes by which the research fields have developed. This allows to draw general lessons as to what drives fields throughout their development and how their role vis-à-vis policy, businesses and societies changes over time.It also allows to speculate about future challenges and trends in the SIR area.This is important because, if anything, the need to govern transformation through innovation will further grow in the future, and with it the need to understand the underlying dynamics.

Beyond Disciplinarity : Historical Evolutions of Research Epistemology
This book provides a means of comprehensively grounding and considering the epistemological and philosophical underpinnings of practice-based research epistemologies.By introducing readers to the diverse array of methodological tools and concepts that are necessary to underpin postgraduate research, this book develops an understanding of the distinctions between practice-led research, practice-based research and question-led research, and the contextual significance of each, as well as enabling students to comprehend the historical relationships between academic disciplines and the value of reconnecting them at an epistemological and philosophical level.Through illustrated examples from applied practice across disciplines such as art, social sciences and medical and allied healthcare sciences, readers are encouraged to develop the capacity to not only think conceptually about their own research, but to systematically evaluate that of others.With this focus on descriptive studies from practice, the book fosters higher-order critical thinking in relation to implications for methodological implementation, encouraging deep learning processes and the confidence to transcend the limits of one’s own discipline in order to work collaboratively with researchers in different fields.

Archival Research in Historical Organisation Studies : Theorising Silences
Archival Research in Historical Organisation Studies: Theorising Silences offers an accessible account of theorising the archive, contesting the narrow definitions of the archive with a view beyond a mere repository of documents. Offering an accessible theorised discussion of business archives that surfaces populations that have been marginalised in the archive, Archival Research in Historical Organisation Studies gives voice to marginalised populations.Outlining the processes that have led to previous exclusions from business archives, Durepos and Thurlow seek to redress these absences and contribute to a better future. The Critical Management Studies series both contains and seeks a range of contributions aimed at far-reaching socio-political change, from those who self-identify as CMS scholars, critical scholars of management, or no particular identity project.

Narrative Research : Research Methods
First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What is Narrative Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series. Narrative research has become a catchword in the social sciences today, promising new fields of inquiry and creative solutions to persistent problems.This book brings together ideas about narrative from a variety of contexts across the social sciences and synthesizes understandings of the field.Rather than focusing on theory, it examines how narrative research is conducted and applied.It operates as a practical introductory guide, basic enough for first-time researchers, but also as a window onto the more complex questions and difficulties that all researchers in this area face.The authors guide readers through current debates about how to obtain and analyse narrative data, about the nature of narrative, the place of the researcher, the limits of researcher interpretations, and the significance of narrative work in applied and in broader political contexts. This new edition includes updated references and a greater focus on digitality throughout.It addresses social justice and decoloniality more explicitly, centrally and consistently, drawing on examples around Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, climate change and Extinction Rebellion, and Covid and pandemic narratives.

Inclusive Research : Research Methods
First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What is Inclusive Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series. This book describes and defines inclusive research, outlining how to recognize it, understand it, do it, and know when it is done well.In doing so it addresses the areas of overlap and distinctiveness in relation to participatory, emancipatory, user-led and partnership research as well as exploring the various practices encompassed within each of these inclusive approaches. The author, Melanie Nind, focuses on how and why more inclusive approaches to research have evolved.She positions inclusive research within the key debates and shifts in policy, defines key ideas and terms, discusses the contested nature of inclusive research and illustrates a range of approaches using exemplars.The aim is to discuss the range of challenges involved and to examine the degree to which these challenges have so far been met.
