“…As published records of SDG engagement, the VLRs provide a useful mechanism for understanding social organisation (Coffey 2014). However, transformative change is an evolving process and as 'static' documents (Marotzki et al 2014) VLRs provide limited insight into the situational dynamics that drive local change. Therefore, their analysis has been supplemented by direct engagement with city actors; qualitative data that has enabled a deeper understanding of the underlying socio-political systems that influence a city's approach to SDG engagement and, crucially, affect transformative capacity.…”

City action is critical to achieving global visions for sustainability such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, SDG ‘localisation’ is complex procedure, with divergent outcomes depending on context and diverse city processes. This paper considers the operational challenges faced by city actors in taking on the SDGs, and subsequent implications for initiating local (and global) sustainability transitions. We analyse emergent approaches to SDG localisation within the Asia–Pacific, using a policy analysis framework (transition management) to assess transformation potential. We find that SDG localisation can influence urban sustainability, but effective implementation requires sufficient data, resourcing, and guidance—which are not readily, nor equally available to all city governments. City-to-city peer learning can accelerate SDG uptake, but realising the transformative ambition set out by the SDGs will require an approach to localisation that clearly demonstrates why and how any city government can and should engage with global sustainability frameworks.

“…First, we used the official list of institutions with the designation of HBCU per the National Center for Education Statistics (2019) and we searched the websites of each of the 107 HBCUs included in the list. Specifically, our search included a document review of virtual “static data,” meaning that these data were “not created with different users interacting with each other and remain basically unchanged while they are continuously accessible” (Marotzki, Holse, & Veständig, 2014, p. 452.…”

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have a history of providing a welcoming space for veterans and is important for HBCUs to continue fostering an affirming educational space for this special student population. This article focuses on current veteran‐friendly practices within HBCUs. Specifically, we provide an overview of the historical footprint of HBCUs and military education. In addition, we illuminate six HBCUs that are distinguished within the 2020–2021 Military Friendly® listing. We conclude this article with future considerations for HBCUs as they continue to enrich their campuses to affirm veterans, servicemembers, and their families.

“…To function properly, as well as to ease usage and to add to the sense of convenience, the devices automatically log geographical, personal, and behavioural data, for which reason these technologies are regularly the subject of discussions on privacy and ethical issues (Bouwman et al, 2013). New approaches of audience research methods make use of these big data capabilities with “the collection and analysis of large quantities of digital data” (Boase, 2013, p. 60; see also Hight, 2015; Marotzki, Holze, & Verständig, 2014). As Bouwman et al (2013, p. 64) explain,Smartphones are creating new opportunities to observe user behaviour more directly on a more detailed level.…”

“…In the mobile everyday life of ubiquitous media use, the accuracy of self-report data is deficient as users increasingly lack the markings in time and space to allocate their activities (see also Mathieu & Brites, 2015). Thus, self-report measures that strongly depend on the users lack reliability as well as ecological validity in comparison to automatically logged data (Boase & Ling, 2013; de Reuver, Bowman, Heerschap, & Verkasalo, 2012; Do & Gatica-Perez, 2010; Kobayashi & Boase, 2012; Marotzki et al, 2014). Behavioural data automatically logged by smart devices is produced without a researcher’s direct influence.…”

“…In this way, “log data is less an object of analysis in itself but more a set of clues that will allow participants to give a more detailed and precise account of their everyday activities in the contexts of the qualitative interview” (Ørmen & Thorhauge, 2015, p. 341). Reintegration is likely to increase reliability and validity of either kind of data (Marotzki et al, 2014).…”

The smartphone as a snapshot of its use: Mobile media elicitation in qualitative interviews

Smartphones are increasingly used to advance mobile media methods. The devices’ capabilities to automatically log behavioural data as well as the integration of this log data into qualitative interviews for elicitation purposes promise increased validity. The paper argues that despite recent efforts in mixed methods, the methodological potential of the personalized user interfaces of smartphones has been overlooked. As these smartphone interfaces are the result of continuous personalization processes, they can be seen as snapshots of the phone’s current use. Thus, this form of data should have strong explanatory powers for understanding the related mobile media practices. The paper discusses the implications of this interface-based approach with two example studies where smartphone interfaces were integrated into qualitative interviews. It concludes that the approach is a useful addition to existing mobile media methods and enforces the notion that researchers need to discover new forms of data.
