Participatory Research
This book examines the nature of participatory research in the social sciences and its role in increasing participation among vulnerable or marginalised populations. Drawing on engaging in-depth case studies, it examines the ways in which inclusion and collaboration in research can be enhanced among vulnerable participants, such as those with profound learning difficulties, victims of abuse and trauma and multiply vulnerable children and young people, and shows how useful it can be with these groups. The book will be an invaluable resource for students, researchers and academics in many countries who want to put participatory research methods into practice.
Young Carers and their Families
Young carers are children and young people under the age of 18 who provide care for an ill or disabled parent or relative in the community, usually within their own home. They perform many of the same domestic, caring and other duties as adult carers but often without the recognition and support received by many adult carers. Recent legislation, the resultant media interest, and the work of care agencies and groups have raised the profile of these young carers' needs among professionals involved in child care, community care, health and education. The first comprehensive text on young carers and their families, this book is both research-based and accessible, and adopts an international perspective. It examines the background of young carers, their situations, their rights and their needs and uses case studies to illustrate experiences, relationships and dynamics. It discusses the effects of caring on the child's health and psychosocial development and considers the policy and legal context for young carers and their families, offering guidance on how to implement policy to offer the best support possible.
Depletion
When thinking about the work of caring for others we often neglect the human cost born by those performing this care. Feminists have long talked about the ways in which unpaid work, particularly performed in the home, is habitually undervalued by society; but the work of caring for people, both paid and unpaid, can also take a toll on the health of individuals, households, and communities when we give more than we receive. This lopsided gap between outflows and inflows, as this book argues, is depletion. In Depletion, Shirin M. Rai examines the human costs of care work and how these are reproduced across the boundaries of class, race, gender, and generation. Depletion can be physical, as mea...
