Research into lifelong cannabis use amongst older (35+) people – Mr David Porteous (Middlesex University – Criminology & Sociology). December 2010
The purpose of this project is to compare the qualitative data obtained through my own research into lifelong cannabis use amongst older (35+) people. The focus of the research is broadly similar to that of the ESRC funded study in that it is concerned with patterns of cannabis use over time and the impact on relationships, work, leisure and health etc. My own research consists of a small scale pilot study (20 qualitative interviews). The method used - snowballing from personal contacts - was slightly different to that of the ESRC study. I am interested to compare findings in order to see whether they include substantive similarities or differences in terms of focus and content.

Using Bayesian Networks – Dr Pankaj Patel. November 2009
One of the central issues in organization litreature are employee outcomes. While numerous outcomes have been made available in the recent years such as commitment, satisfaction etc, we do not know the nature of criticality among these outcomes. In other words, what is the dependence of among outcomes. Using Bayesian Network approach, I look at Employee outcomes and their order to establish critical nature of outcomes. The research question helps employers decide which approach is the most critical outcome.

The quality of electoral conduct in the former Soviet Union - research article – Dr Sarah Birch (University of Essex – Government). August 2009
Survey frequencies from this study will be included in a research article I am writing on electoral conduct (electoral integrity and malpractice) in the post-Soviet region. I understand this dataset includes relevant variables.
I am working on a paper on electoral malpractice in the former Soviet Union, and I am interested in citing frequencies on this from this survey project.
The working abstract of the paper is as follows:
ABSTRACT: This paper provides an overview of the quality of electoral conduct in the former Soviet Union. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative evidence, it analyses general patterns and trends in the electoral practices of the region as well as tracing the origins of several of those practices. The principal argument of the paper is that many of the characteristic forms taken by electoral malpractice in the of former-Soviet states can be traced either to the Soviet period itself of to aspects of the transition from communism as it occurred in this region.

Historical Comparative Analysis of Family and Parenting: A Feasibility Study Across Sources and Timeframes – Dr Val Gillies (London South Bank University – Families & Social Capital Research Group). April 2011
This project assesses the feasibility of conducting qualitative secondary analysis and historical comparison in order to explore people's experiences of family and parenting practices, in an attempt to provide insights into the nature of social change and continuity over four decades. It uses pilot thematic analytic questions about informal and formal support in parenting to examine the possibilities for, and viability of, working across different sorts of qualitative material (often referred to as 'scaling up') across sources and timeframes. The project will test sample several cases across several archived classic community and family studies conducted in the 1960s, held by the ESRC-funded ESDS Qualidata archive. Timeframes: The project will compare findings from the test sample classic data with those from an existing contemporary data set, the ESRC-funded 'Resources in Parenting' study. The feasibility study will also empirically scope the multi-faceted historically situated, reflexive and practical contextual issues faced in producing such an historical comparative analysis of continuity and change in parenting practice and support in parenting. The main knowledge generated from this feasibility study will be methodological, identifying the challenges and possibilities of scaling up across sources and timeframes, with the intention of extending this way of researching family change. Nonetheless, findings from the project should also be of theoretical and substantive interest and relevance to academics and to non-academic users in the area of family support.

The Construction of Stance in Social Research Interviews – Greg Myers (Lancaster University – Linguistics and English Language). May 2009
Objectives:
1. To investigate linguistic features of stance in transcripts of research interviews available through the Qualidata archive.
2. To develop and apply a systematic framework of stance analysis that can be used by other academic and commercial researchers in interpreting qualitative interviews.
3. To relate uses of different stance devices to kinds of self presentation, strategies of interviewing and being interviewed, and dilemmas posed by the interview genre.
4. To augment and revise current linguistic research on stance-taking by considering how these devices are used in an extensive body of text in a specific genre.
Summary:
Qualitative research interviews provide an important basis of social knowledge both for academic researchers and for commercial marketing and public opinion research. There is a large literature on the practice of interviewing that treats interviews as, ideally, a neutral channel for information and attitudes. But recently discourse analysts have begun to treat research interviews as social encounters, in which both interviewer and interviewee present themselves, moment to moment, responding to and anticipating responses of the other person. These researchers do not just quote isolated excerpts from transcripts to show individual attitudes or provide evidence of behaviours; they ask in each case how the participants are interpreting what is going on, and why this person says this here, at this point in the interview, to this person. One aspect of this interaction is stance, the ways participants mark their association with or disassociation from a statement. Grammatical stance can involve such markers as adverbials ('Obviously it was too late'), complement structures ('I admit that I smoked too much'), and modals ('It may be') and these markers have been extensively studied in corpora. But stance can also be indicated by discourse features such as reported speech (They say that . . . '), pronoun shifts (use of generic 'you'), tag questions ('it is dangerous here, you know?), and narrative evaluation, where a whole story serves implicitly or explicitly to mark a stance on a previous statement. In this study, we analyse transcripts from six qualitative social research projects in which interviews were an important component. We identify the different kinds of stance-taking, and relate them to the ways the interviewees (and interviewers) present themselves, the functions served in particular interactional contexts, and the ways stance-making deals with interactional problems such as tensions, contradictions, and sensitive issues. The framework we develop can sensitise interviewers and interpreters of transcripts to the subtle shifts in the ways interviewees present themselves, and the different ways they could be using their statements in the immediate interaction. It will also provide a test of existing frameworks of stance (for instance, the use of cognitive verbs, or hypothetical reported speech), in a well-defined genre, for which there are extensive data, in which participants are aware of the importance of their statements, and are highly sensitive to the range of possible ways of making statements.

To estimate prevelance on IPV across NE England – Dr Nicole Westmarland (University of Durham – School of Applied Social Sciences). May 2009
I am currently engaged in two projects for Government Office North East (contact name Pat McManus), the first of which is a mapping of violence against women services and the second which is an estimation of prevalence of interpersonal violence across the North East. I will use the BCS IPV module data to estimate prevalence based on population figures across the region. This will then be compared with the number of services in each of the areas. The plan is to create a 'baseline' of what services are the minimum that are needed in each area. I have already had a telephone conversation about this project with Jackie Hoare, Home Office Statistics (in October 2008)

Public-Private Partnerships – Dr Loke Foo (Glasgow Caledonian University – AFR). April 2009
Our study aims to draw a dissemination roadmap of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the emerging economies with four substantial objectives: -
(1) To determine the current state of research in PPPs in the emerging economies. The roadmap will achieve this objective by:
- mapping the current literature on PPPs in emerging economies by the countries of origin, sectors, models and other characteristics
- assessing the regulatory frameworks and other institutional background of PPPs in each country to understand their similarities and differences with the UK
- summarising the research questions addressed in each of the studies to identify recurring themes in which most researchers are interested
- tracking the relationship between different studies by using a citation map
The above will provide PPP researchers, within and outside the UK, with a broad and clear picture of what is happening in their field.
No funding bodies yet.

Mental Health and Employment – Mr Dominic Page (Cardiff University – Disability Studies). March 2009
The literature has identified a number of gaps within mental health research; overall, highlighting that mental health and inequality in the labour market has been severely underdeveloped to the detriment of understanding the experience of those suffering from mental distress. Importantly, the complex relationship between employment status and mental health is still in its infancy, particularly when compared to the advances made within the disability studies movement. The assertion that those experiencing mental health problems are economically excluded needs empirical and analytical assessment. This study aims to contribute to this agenda

Research on Civil Social Democracy – Professor Jiro Yamaguchi. November 2008
From April 2007, we started a joint research on “civil social democracy on a grant-in-aid for promotion of science by the Ministry of Education. This project succeeds the project on Globalization and Governance that terminated in March 2007. I am serving as a head of the new project as well as the previous one.
Nowadays, interest has been growing in inequality and poverty both in academic and journalistic worlds. I would say this is due to the fact that side effects of the neo-liberal structural reform have become evident. In order to overcome these diseases caused by simplistic neo-liberalism, our project aims at considering and proposing political philosophy and policy based upon such important values as equality, human dignity and social solidarity.
My intellectual interest was ignited by the stimulus given by Professor Colin Crouch's Post-Democracy, which I myself translated into Japanese and was published by Seitosha in March 2007. Crouch is trying to explain the common paradox that advanced democratic countries are facing. By the notion of post-democracy, he designates the political phenomenon that democratic governments are destroying the welfare state regime under the pressure of global capitalism. We encounter a serious question, why ordinary people support such governments that are imposing cruel and harsh policy on themselves.
Crouch's book gives a clue to this question.
In Japan, we are also in the situation of post-democracy, where the slogan of small government has been undermining the humble welfare state, and the political leader is crying removal from the post-war regime.
Civil Social Democracy is a new concept to overcome post-democracy. This idea is combination of civil society and social democracy. (For detail, please see Challenge for Civil Social Democracy, edited by Yamaguchi, Miyamoto and Ogawa published in 2005 by Nihon Keizai Hyoronsha.) There are twofold meanings in this concept. We firmly believe that civil society can flourish on the fertile soil of social democracy while social democracy can be sustained by vitality of civil society at the same time. We are pursuing the ultimate goal that citizens develop democracy which is capable of promoting social values.
Outline of survey
Since the 1990s, economic globalization has been putting burden on politico-economic systems in advanced countries through enhancement of competition. Roughly speaking, there are two ways of coping with these issues, one is American style small government approach, and the other is European model based upon the value of equity and equality. Sharing the latter idea, this research aims at supporting decent human lives and viable community in the trend of global capitalism, and tries to investigate the following questions: 1 sustainable public policy, 2 innovations of such important values as equality, solidarity and fairness, 3 innovation of a political and administrative regime which is capable of fulfilling public policy.
In west European countries, some distinguished scholars are proposing ideas for revitalizing democracy (for example, post-democracy by Colin Crouch and associative democracy by Paul Hirst). This project tries to make a contribution to this intellectual trend from Japan.
Expected results
Advanced democratic countries are facing various problems, such as collapse of solidarity, social exclusion, and increase of risk in daily lives. Also, globalization has brought about poverty and environmental crisis. However, individuals who become atomized and lose political motivation yearn for temporary order instead of real solutions. They find integration by symbol and violence attractive. Here appears a paradox that deprived people give acclamation to leaders who implement policies that make the matter worse. This project tries to overcome this crisis of democracy or post-democratic situation by the idea of civil social democracy.

Analysing codeswitching in bilingual communities – Dr Jon Herring (University of Bangor – ESRC Centre for Research on Bilingualism). November 2007
We in the corpus-based research group of the ESRC Centre for Research on Bilingualism in Theory and Practice are evaluating existing theories that account for codeswitching -- the use of two or more languages in the same discourse either between or within sentences. We are seeking naturally occurring conversational data (either recorded or transcribed, or both) in which words from both languages co-occur.
The ethnographic data gathered by O'Reilly is of interest to us as we do not know of existing corpora in which English and Spanish are used where, specifically, the community has English, as opposed to Spanish, as the 'dominant' language (cf. Gibraltar bilinguals (Moyer 1993) and New York Puerto Ricans (Poplack 1980) where both communities are either balanced bilinguals or have Spanish as L1 and English as L2).
We would like to examine the transcripts of the in depth face-to-face interviews and focus group meetings from a linguistic perspective to see the frequency and the grammatical properties of Spanish words inserted into predominantly English sentences.

Analysis of health identities – Dr Nick Fox (University of Sheffield – ScHARR). June 2007
I wish to re-analyse this data to assess a model of health identities that has been developed from previous research. This model proposes that health identities can be understood in terms of four dimensions. However, the process of analysis differs from traditional qualititaive analysis. Interviews are searched for mentions of relations, which may be affective, cognitive or physical, and can refer to objects, human actors or to concepts or reflective entities. The analysis of this dataset is intended to validate the model and may lead to new research outputs based on this data, or in conjuncton with other data. There is currently no funding for this research, but research funding may be sought from ESRC once the potential of the data for validating the model has been evaluated.

Urban Energy Systems – Mr Alexander Frenzel Baudisch (University of Imperial College – Tanaka Business School, Innovations Studies Center). July 2006
An Imperial College London-BP project to explore energy savings in cities.
The BP Urban Energy Systems project at Imperial will explore how costs, energy and environmental impacts could be reduced in the future if cities integrated the systems that supply them with resources.
The Urban Energy Systems project will document and understand in detail how energy, people and materials flow through a city. The researchers aim to use this information to improve the efficiency of both existing and new-built cities.
The project will analyse how much benefit would result if a whole city optimised its use of resources such as power, heating, transport and water, for example by heating homes with the heat from waste water or by arranging residential and business areas to reduce commuting traffic, as well by the systematic introduction of new technology. It will also investigate the energy lessons to be drawn from the differences between cities such as London, New York, and Beijing.

Exploring the discourse and rhetoric of interviewing – Dr Stephen Gibson (York St John College – Faculty of Health and Life Sciences). July 2007
The data will be considered for analysis in a project exploring the discourse and rhetoric of research interviewing. A growing literature in Conversation Analysis and Discursive Psychology has begun to explore how research interviews work as interactions, and my current interest is in looking at ways to extend this approach through secondary analysis of qualitative data. My interest is therefore methodological in that I am concerned with interviews-as-interviews, rather than with the substantive topic of the interviews. Indeed, one of the advantages of secondary analysis for such research is that it allows access to interviews concerned with a wide range of topics, thereby (hopefully) allowing for the generation of insights which are not restricted to a particular topic of interview talk. Funding is not yet in place, but it is anticipated that applications for small grants to support the research may be made.
