Questions of methodology and the use of sources are fundamental to all academic disciplines. In recent years, this topic has become far more challenging as scholars are increasingly adopting an interdisciplinary approach to achieve richer and deeper analyses, particularly in the humanities and social sciences. Building New Bridges / Bâtir de nouveaux ponts is a collection of scholarly papers that deals with the first principles of source identification and their effective utilization.The contributors to the volume come from a wide range of disciplines and represent both French and English Canada. Together, they explore and encourage the interdisciplinarity trend - around which considerable academic trepidation remains - and seek to explain, for example, how historians and those in English or Lettres françaises analyze texts, how scholars approach paintings, photography, and film, and how the study of music relates tempo and lyrics to wider societal trends. They utilize their respective research to elucidate means of effectively employing evidences and methods to achieve richer, deeper, and more nuanced results. As a whole, the collection provides an excellent primer for scholars of methodology.

Research Methods for Business and Social Science Students aims to present a clear discussion of the research methods employed in various disciplines related to our daily life problems. The theoretical basis of research methods is explained clearly and succinctly. Collecting data is a key part of the book and this includes both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The book also describes in clear terms how students can analyse data, interpret results and link these to the literature review and hence their own contri

Au cours des dernières décennies, l’évolution de la mobilité résidentielle, des structures familiales, des études et des parcours professionnels a suscité un intérêt croissant pour les trajectoires biographiques en sciences sociales. L’étude quantitative des parcours de vie se concentre généralement sur les événements par le biais des méthodes d’analyse des biographies, mais l’ambition de ce type de recherche est aussi d’appréhender les trajectoires dans leur ensemble. Or il existe d’autres approches offrant la possibilité d’étudier les parcours de vie en tant qu’unité d’analyse, comme un tout. Ce manuel pratique explore la méthode la plus répandue qui est celle de l’analyse de séquences, associée à la construction de typologies de trajectoires. Il présente les choix successifs nécessaires à sa mise en œuvre, du codage des données au nombre de classes de la typologie et passe en revue les différentes mesures de la similarité entre trajectoires, étape cruciale de l’édifice typologique. Cet outil de travail vient compléter l’arsenal méthodologique des études quantitatives et se révèle essentiel pour toute recherche en sciences sociales consacrée à l’analyse des parcours de vie. Un tutoriel en ligne est proposé pour la mise en application sous R de ces méthodes.
