robstephenson Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi!I am doing a PhD at Queen Mary, University of London, in collaboration with the GeffryeMuseum of the Home.http://www.geog.qmul.ac.uk/staff/stephensonr.html]I wonder whether you would be interested [or anyone else you know in your position]in helping me with my research study on Men Juggling Home, Family and Work in contemporary London? I have just entered my 2nd fieldwork year and am actively seeking participants who are male primary carers, looking after their children at home. These need not be full-time carers; they may be engaged in other work such as part-time employment or perhaps are self-employed or volunteer. I was a primary carer myself in the 1980s and now co-parent my 2 year-old son with my wife, a Children's Geographer at London South Bank University, so am anxious to explore the hidden voices of these 'pioneering men and use any appropriate means to try and contact these hard-to-find fathers. I am particularly interested in young fathers and any fathers from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds as they are definitely under-represented in current research globally but all participants are welcomedThe outcome of my research will be presented at a small exhibition at the Geffrye Museum of the Home, Hoxton and be disseminated to a wider audience academically and, hopefully, to support organisations and policymakers and practitioners.I hope this may be of interest and feel free to email me or phone me on 07758 366632 at any time for more detailed information about the Project. I can also be reached via Facebook .. Robert Stephenson ... or on Twitter ... @canalboathome ... I will be delighted to hear from you.Very best wishes,Robert Stephenson BSc (Hons) FRGS Room 218 School of Geography Queen Mary University of London Mile End Road London E1 4NS Mob: 07758 366632 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.geog.qmul.ac.uk/staff/stephensonr.html Web: http://www.studiesofhome.qmul.ac.uk LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/edit?trk=tab_pro Academia.edu: http://independent.academia.edu/RobertStephenson Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/40187-my-phd-research-~-fathers-juggling-work-family-and-home-in-contemporary-london/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
