I need to find an online article that also serves as a comprehensive guide to recent sociological scholarship on environmental and social movements.
OR try for example:
-
sociological scholarship on masculinity or migration or health & illness or doing gender
-
anthropological scholarship on hiv / aids or global health or settler colonialism or ethics & morality
Searching for dissertations:

B) Can you find Kregg Hetherington's PhD Dissertation: Guerrilla auditors: transparency, democracy and rural politics in Paraguay
A) In a world with Google Scholar AND your own 'Discovery Search' in it, why use anything else for your research, such as smaller subject-specific library databases?

TEST YOURSELF:
How can you access the following:
Chew, Dolores. "Feminism and Multiculturalism in Quebec: An/Other Perspective." Canadian Woman Studies 27.2 (2009): 84-92
And can you find and access this?
Archer, M. S. (1990). "Resisting the revival of relativism." In Globalization, Knowledge & Society: Readings from International Sociology (pp. 19-33). London: Sage Publications.
a) Is it really possible that we don't have it?
My supervisor keeps mentioning Simon Springer's Handbook of Neoliberalism, which I can't seem to find.
b) If so, what can I do to get my hands on it?
After a very successful conference presentation of yours, the editors of Sociology Mind journal invite you to submit your paper for publication.
How should you proceed?
