Bøger af Laura L. Ellingson

Extending upon the work presented in her first multi-award-winning book, Communicating in the Clinic, in this book Ellingson teaches others how to use crystallization, providing practical guidance for researchers' and students' implementation, thereby de-mystifying the process.

This book addresses the question of how health care teams function on a daily basis through an ethnography of communication in an interdisciplinary geriatric team. The presentation enables readers to explore the relationships among epistemology, methodology, and writing practices in health care.

While the aunt is one of the most beloved figures in popular culture, the societal role of real-life contemporary aunts are difficult to pin down. This book re-visions the ideals of family, femininity, and kinship and, in the process, offers a hopeful and progressive recognition of the multiple possibilities of womanhood in modern culture.

In this engaging book, Laura Ellingson and Patricia Sotirin construct a consideration of "aunts" that moves from noun to verb. "Aunts" is more than a group of people or a role; instead, "to aunt" is a practice, something people "do". Some women "aunt" as second mothers, friends, or mentors, while others play more peripheral roles.
