Research Methods at Sage for Authors

Jai Seaman, Publisher
I have over 15 years’ experience publishing innovative books and digital pedagogic tools at Sage.  Given my background in ancient literature and mythology this might seem odd but I am a keen advocate for research methods in the social sciences and the way they can both inspire and explain. I am now a Publisher with experience of publishing a wide range of bestselling titles across numerous methods and disciplines, and into almost every country in the world. I believe that research methods empower students to ask good questions and to see the world in a new way. High quality research tools enable researchers and academics to challenge and change society; I am thrilled to be involved in producing books and digital resources to support this aim.

Please contact me if you have an idea for a book or if you would like to discuss a proposal or project. I am always happy to answer questions and to hear from academics in any department or country looking to write a research methods title – quantitative, qualitative or mixed method, big data or single case study, digital or muddy field - I would be pleased to hear from you.

Umeeka Raichura, Commissioning Editor
I joined Sage in 2017 as an Editorial Assistant on the Reference list where I had the opportunity to work closely on a large range of cross-disciplinary Handbook titles. I am now a Commissioning Editor in Research Methods with a passion for student needs and empowerment. It's a privilege to work with dedicated, creative authors who likewise want to empower students so I'm really keen to hear about new ideas and help develop them into vital resources for students and researchers. Outside of work, I'm an avid hiker and amateur landscape photographer with a particular love of the Peak District.
