Writing and Presenting Research (SAGE Study Skills Series)
by Angela ThodyThis accessible and wide-ranging book is an invaluable introductory guide through the choices to be made when deciding how to report research. Writing and Presenting Research covers research written as theses and dissertations; chapters, books, reports and articles in academic, professional or general media such as newspapers; and also reviews the options for presenting research orally as lectures, keynotes, conference papers and even TV game shows.

This has generated debate about what is, or is not, acceptable, and the aim of this book is to make this debate more manageable for those wanting to assess which of the conventional or alternative possibilities on offer is most appropriate for reporting their current research. Arranged in easily followed sections enlivened with checklists, style variations, examples and reflection points, Writing and Presenting Research has relevance to the social sciences, arts, humanities, natural and applied sciences and law and is an invaluable reference tool for new and experienced researchers alike.

From how to write great essays and succeeding at university, to writing your undergraduate dissertation and doing postgraduate research, SAGE Study Skills help you get the best from your time at university.
A Beautiful Offering
by Angela ThomasFor many years Angela Thomas thought of the Beatitudes as a list of "Gotta Be's," as in: Gotta be meek. Gotta be merciful. And when she compared her life to the standard they set, she always felt that she came up short. But through God's great mercy, she has come to see this passage instead as a roster of "When You Are's." When you are meek, there is a spiritual inheritance. When you are merciful, you will be shown mercy. This shift in thinking has led Thomas to understand that God does not require perfection, but rather our gracious obedience. In His eyes, our lives-complete with mistakes, blemishes, and imperfections-are A Beautiful Offering.

Do You Know Who I Am?
by Angela ThomasIn her book Do You Know Who I Am? Angela Thomas asks God if He knows her--and ultimately does He love her--as she is, right now, today. In each chapter, she names a different identity issue, such as: "I am invisible," "I am worn out," "I am undisciplined," "I am ordinary," and "I am afraid to dream." With each honest admission, Angela teaches that God lovingly replies, "Yes, I know your heart. I see your struggle. Now...do you know who I AM?"Ultimately Angela reveals that the secret to being known and loved lies in an intimate understanding of who God is. Each identity struggle is answered with a short biblical study on the character of God that assures readers that their personal, spiritual, and eternal fulfillment is not dependent on getting themselves together. Rather, God has a purpose for them just as they are--broken, afraid, disappointed, disillusioned. Through vivid storytelling, biblical teaching, and practical application, readers will find the heartfelt answers they seek.
Do You Think I'm Beautiful?
by Angela ThomasThis book is for women who know, perhaps only deep in their heart, that they need an answer to the question, "Do you think I'm beautiful?" Readers will come to understand that the question is uniquely feminine, placed there by the Creator to woo them to Himself. Along the way, women will learn about the distractions that can keep them from the One who calls them beautiful, what it takes to return to His embrace, and what delights await them there. Angela's skillful, moving writing style is peppered with warm and funny stories from her own life that readers will immediately identify with. And the practical Bible teaching Angela offers will help readers bridge the gulf between the life a woman longs for and the life she actually has.
Do You Think I'm Beautiful? Bible Study and Journal
by Angela ThomasSo many women today grapple with body image. Teenage girls starve themselves because they think they are fat. Older women explore the world of plastic surgery, desperately trying to turn back the clock. But more unfortunate is the woman suffering from poor soul image-the woman who can't see herself as beautiful even on the inside."Do you think I'm beautiful?" is an emotionally and spiritually charged question. But it is one that Angela Thomas believes is universal to all women-whether they adamantly deny it or announce it each time they enter a room. Until a woman gives herself permission to ask this question, and until she asks the only One who can ultimately answer it, fulfillment will be elusive. This workbook allows readers to apply the lessons Angela has learned on her own feminine journey, as she asked this question, searching for an answer in all the wrong places. Excerpts from the book are paired with in-depth Bible study questions and ample space for recording thoughts and responses.

When Wallflowers Dance: Becoming a Woman of Righteous Confidence
by Angela ThomasWhen we were two, we were no longer babies-we were becoming little girls. And when we were thirteen, we were leaving childhood behind, becoming young women. But somewhere along the way, we stopped becoming. We became "un-women." Wallflowers who are just breathing and smiling and blending in to stay out of the way. That is not what God had in mind when He created us. He wants us to keep becoming. He wants us to become strong, decisive, wise, creative, passionate, courageous-all the things we've dreamed of becoming. When Wallflowers Dance is a fresh challenge to women who have lived hesitant, cautious lives but long to break free and dance! Using both Scripture and story, Angela Thomas addresses the attributes of "becoming" and the freedom we have in Christ to keep developing the characteristics that reflect our God-given longings.

Migration - Religion - Identität. Aspekte transkultureller Prozesse
by Kerstin Kazzazi Angela Treiber Tim WätzoldZunehmende Mobilität und Migration von Menschen haben die Erfahrung sozialer und kultureller Heterogenität, die Pluralität von Lebensweisen an vielen Orten zum Normalfall werden lassen. Zusammen mit der Präsenz von Wissensbeständen aus unterschiedlichen Deutungshorizonten verlangt dies von Menschen, mit Mehrdeutigem und Ambiguitäten des Kulturellen, Sprachlichen, Religiösen und Weltanschaulichen zu leben. Die Transformationsprozesse in gesellschaftlichen und individuell erfahrungs- und handlungsorientierten Zusammenhängen stehen im Fokus. Transkulturalität wird dabei als ein heuristisches Instrument verstanden, um den Prozesscharakter von Kulturen und die Dynamik des fortwährenden Aushandelns von Inhalten und Dingen sowie deren Bedeutungen in sozialen Prozessen zu erfassen. Der Blick auf den Alltag der Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung zeigt die variationsreichen Verbindungen von individuellen und gruppenspezifischen Bedürfnissen, Referenzen zum Herkunftsland und Orientierungen am neuen gesellschaftlichen Umfeld.

by Kerstin Kazzazi Angela Treiber Marina JaciukFür zahlreiche berufliche Praxis- und Forschungsfelder gilt, dass Gespräche nicht mehr in der Erstsprache der jeweiligen Beteiligten geführt werden können.

In den Zusammenhängen von Flucht, Asyl und Migration diskutiert dieser interdisziplinäre Band unterschiedliche Verfahrensstrategien zur Überwindung sprachlicher wie auch kulturell bedingter Kommunikationsbarrieren und zeigt die entstehenden methodischen und theoretischen Herausforderungen für die soziale Beratungs- und Therapiepraxis wie für die Praxis qualitativer Forschung auf.
Translating Migration: Everyday and research practices of interpreting in the context of flight and migration
by Kerstin Kazzazi Angela Treiber Marina JaciukIn many fields of professional practice and research, conversations can no longer be conducted in the first language of the respective participants.

In the contexts of flight, asylum and migration, this interdisciplinary volume discusses different procedural strategies for overcoming linguistic as well as culturally conditioned communication barriers and highlights the emerging methodological and theoretical challenges for social counselling and therapy practice as well as for the practice of qualitative research.
Exploring Communication Theory: Making Sense of Us
by Kory Floyd Angela Trethewey Larry Erbert Paul SchrodtThis text presents and explains theories from the epistemological perspectives of the researchers who use them. Rather than representing a specific theoretical paradigm (social scientific, interpretive, or critical), the author team presents the three major paradigms in one text, each writing in his or her area of expertise. Every theory is explained in a "native" voice, from a position of deep understanding and experience, improving clarity for readers. The text also provides insights on using communication theory to address real-life challenges. Considering that theories are developed to guide scholarly research more than to provide practical advice, this feature of the book helps students create realistic expectations for what theories can and cannot do and makes clear that many theories can have practical applications that students can use to their advantage in everyday life. Offering a comprehensive exploration of communication theories through multiple lenses, Exploring Communication Theory provides an integrated approach to studying communication theory and to demonstrating its application in the world of its readers.
