"For undergraduates in STEMM fields, the experience of working in a lab or other research position has become an increasingly important credential for many career paths. Landing such a position can be difficult, with hundreds of applicants for perhaps a dozen openings in the most competitive cases. But finding a meaningful research experience also involves knowing what to look for and how to present yourself effectively, skills that represent a hidden curriculum for many students. In this book, an expert lab manager and a longtime principal investigator share their secrets for securing these positions, both in summer undergraduate research programs and in labs operating during the academic year. They offer advice on the application and interview processes for undergraduates who often do not know how to prepare appropriately professional emails, cover letters, CVs, and interview responses. They address students in a wide variety of STEMM fields at both research-intensive universities and primarily undergraduate institutions. And they focus on how first-generation college students and those from low-income backgrounds and communities historically underrepresented in science can learn to negotiate the hidden curriculum and claim their place in research settings. This new edition also serves as a companion to the authors' social accounts, including @YouInTheLab and @TheLabMentor, where they offer advice on lab life at many levels"--

A Practical Guide to Trauma-Sensitive Research showcases the novel idea of trauma-informed interventions for researchers, proposing clinical supervision as the standard rather than the exception. This framework not only aids in managing the aftermath of trauma but also opens new opportunities for both clinicians and researchers. The book details the theoretical foundations of trauma, including the latest insights into how trauma affects individuals and communities, and addresses practical applications of trauma-sensitive methodologies in research. It emphasises ethical considerations, the importance of clinical supervision, and the necessity of adopting a trauma-sensitive approach to protect both research participants and researchers from the potential emotional toll of exposure to trauma. By bridging clinical practices with qualitative research, this book not only opens new professional avenues for clinicians and researchers but also advocates for a research environment that is empathetic, ethical, and informed by a deep understanding of trauma and its impacts. A Practical Guide to Trauma-Sensitive Research will be of great utility to User Experience (UX) Professionals, such as service designers, UX designers, consultants, and researchers involved in qualitative research. Additionally, it will be of value to clinical professionals like social workers, psychologists, and psychotherapists, offering insights and supervision on applying trauma-informed approaches in non-clinical research settings.

The study of legal history has a broad application that extends well beyond the interests of legal historians. An attorney arguing a case today may need to cite cases that are decades or even centuries old, and historians studying political or cultural history often encounter legal issues that affect their main subjects. Both groups need to understand the laws and legal practices of past eras. This essential reference is intended for the many nonspecialists who need to enter this arcane and often tricky area of research.
