Qualitative Transformation: Meaning and Evaluation
The Africa Earth Observatory Network-Earth Stewardship Science Research Institute (AEON-ESSRI) at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (South Africa) and Trébol Press seek
to publish a collection of peer reviewed papers on the timely theme of “qualitative transformation.”
We welcome contributions from around the world and across disciplines that analyze and explore the meaning of "qualitative transformation" and its implications.
Brief description of the aim of the book
In this book, different authors from different disciplines and countries explore the meaning of “qualitative transformation.” Each author explains and evaluates “qualitative transformation” in terms of their own area of research and presents their own theories, evidence-based analysis, literature reviews, and methods.
Call for papers
Politicians, managers and administrators frequently talk of "transformation," especially in countries like South Africa, which seek to move away from a painful past of oppression, autocracy, dehumanisation, exploitation, and injustice to a more just and democratic future for its people. "Qualitativ transformation" is an important research theme at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (South Africa) and is part of the governmental and institutional Vision 2020 scheme. What does “qualitative transformation” mean? How can we evaluate it? We need to explore “qualitative transformation” from different perspectives, research disciplines, and contexts.
This book will present international research on “qualitative transformation” from different perspectives, disciplines, and contexts. Each contributor will explain and clarify the meaning of “qualitative transformation" in relation to their own research and experiences. They will be critically engaging with relevant theories, practices, and methodologies, and supporting their ideas with evidence and critical reflections.
This will be of value for readers who are interested in defining, debating and understanding “qualitative transformation” and to carry out their own research and practice in evaluating and bringing about qualitative transformation. Each contribution will display situations, practices and lives in different countries and contexts and the values and commitments of different practitioners struggling to make a difference to humanity, their community and country, and the future of the world.
Required length: 5000 to 12000 words
Deadline for a 250-400 words abstract, March 31, 2015
Deadline for submission July, 1, 2015
