'People think it's not the real world - but it's our world'. The significance of relationships found on the threshold between the private and the public: Exploring engagement between mothers and early years practitioners in a changing Ireland.
(2014)
Garrity, Sheila
Abstract:
Irish society has undergone significant economic and social transformation in the past two decades. The rapid development of the early years sector, supporting unprecedented levels of female employment, is indicative of this transformation. While the use of early years services can be perceived as a functional act, the process is also an emotional one, as a parent's basic obligation to care is transferred to another. This thesis focuses on these newly established social and familial behaviours, offering an exploration of relationships between parents and childcare practitioners, within a changing Irish context. The exploratory approach to research employed an ethnographic methodology, underpinned by a social constructionist epistemology to investigate these under-studied relationships. The research findings were analysed through the theoretical lens of the ethic of care, as well as drawing on theories and literature from relevant areas. Key research findings reveal ideas and c...

(Re)connecting children with nature? A sociological study of environmental education in Ireland.
(2014)
O'Malley, Sarah
Abstract:
The outcome of environmental education to solve the ecological crises by producing an environmentally sustainable society is uncertain. The marginalisation of environmental education in mainstream education, its precarious position within broader concepts of (environmental) sustainability and the lack of critical evaluation of current practices finds it characterised by anecdotal narratives. It is claimed that modernisation is leading to childrens growing (dis)connect with the natural environment and brings additional responsibility to the relationship between society and the natural environment. But does environmental education (re)connect children with the natural environment, and to what extent is it (in)effective? Through a detailed examination of the evolution of environmental education in Ireland, this thesis makes an original contribution to the field of environmental education research while also offering useful insights for environmental education policy and practice.

A life course perspective: Life course learning for adult learners in Higher Education - an examination of the NUI Diploma in Applied Social Studies and the BA in Applied Social Studies
(2019)
Hardiman, Deirdre
Abstract:
This research study examines the concept of the life course and why it may be considered an issue of critical importance in the context of teaching and learning policy and practice for adult learners in higher education. By choosing to adopt a life course perspective this research seeks to understand the learning experiences of part-time adult learners in higher education within the context of wider society and changing social structures. It is imperative that the needs, expectations, voices and life realities of adult learners feature in the decision making, design and implementation of programmes of higher education. Higher education as an institution of society has a fundamental role to play in promoting the ideals of democracy, justice, and human rights in addition to contributing to the economic and social development of society as a whole. As the author is a practitioner within the field of adult education focusing on the ‘real world’ problem of the ‘lived life’ realities of ...

Altering legacies as ‘A Farmer in My Own Right’: married women's experiences of farm property ownership in Ireland
(2018)
Watson, Tanya
Abstract:
A number of women living on family farms own farm property in their own right. This is an unexplored research area in Ireland. Gender inequalities in the ownership and control of farm property have consequences for women’s capacity to change their roles and position on the farm and off the farm in the broader rural economy. This research focuses on women’s experiences of farm property ownership and the possibilities it holds for women’s active participation in agriculture and decisions affecting their family’s livelihood. Using the Biographical Narrative Interpretive Method (BNIM), twelve women farm property owners shared their life stories. The use of this unique research method provides a new perspective on the issue of women’s farm property ownership and how farm women operate within the rural economy. Resulting from an eleven-stage analysis, four holistic case accounts are presented. Key similarities and differences among ownership categories are explored in relation to ...

An alternative gathering: public space and shared agency in the lived experience of multicultural Ireland
(2014)
King, Anna
Abstract:
The overarching aim of this thesis is to understand the palette of complex ways in which a diverse community in Ireland responds to its challenges. This research, therefore, offers important insights into novel approaches to the challenges presented in Doughiska, Roscam and Ardaun's changing social and cultural landscape. This is an exploration of change itself, how individuals responded and, in turn, shape further change, especially in relation to experiences of social dislocation. This work is not based on a large sample of multiple accounts, but explores how a few groups of people came together to explore diversity and difference. In so doing, extremely important insights are gained that may be relevant within a larger context. Apart from elevating the role of public places in the community-building puzzle, the important insights that grew out of this research are concerned with methods for critical inquiry and practice. It explores novel approaches to community gatheri...

Hogan, Conor
Abstract:
Based on the premise that little is known about the social benefits of sport to youth, this study explores the perceived friendship, social support and understanding of empathy among the membership of four Gaelic Athletic Association juvenile clubs. The study is underpinned by a review of the literature relating to youth development, formal and non-formal education, friendships, social support, and empathy. The study utilises a mixed methods approach including the use of reliable and validated instruments comprising measurements for perceived sources and quality of supportive relationships; amounts and types of support and understanding of empathy. In total, 130 respondents completed all questionnaires, while 20 youth participated in one to one interviews, with the researcher completing a further 64 individualised observations of respondents. Key results indicate that participants perceived high levels of social support as available to them from family, friends and within their loc...

An Explorative Study on the Connection between Leadership Skills, Resilience and Social Support among Youth
(2013)
Redmond, Susan
Abstract:
A growing interest in how young people can contribute to their communities has sparked a rise in the development of youth leadership initiatives. Whether these programmes yield benefits to youth beyond leadership and into the areas of social support and resilience are core to this research. This study involved a mixed-methodology approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative components in order to explore the impact of a youth leadership programme. The research included a quasi-experimental design focusing on 267 young people who received the Foróige Leadership for Life programme and a comparison group of 164 respondents who did not. Questionnaires were collected at baseline, post-intervention and 6 months follow-up over an eighteen month time frame. Standardised measures of Life skills, Leadership skills, Resilience, Social Support and Empathy were utilised. Interviews were also carried out at three time points with 22 young people categorised as high and low risk in te...

Building educational partnerships: An illustration of the disparities between policy and practice of the Home, School and Community Liaison Programme through an exploration of the challenges that HSCL Coordinators experience in its implementation
(2019)
Furey, Eamonn
Abstract:
Poverty inhibits pupils from reaching their full educational potential. A body of literature exists which suggests that pupils experiencing financial deprivation or who have parents with lower levels of education are more likely to leave school early. Education policy designed to alleviate the effects of marginalisation targets early school leaving and attempts to improve attendance levels. This research however, suggests that integrated policies such as the Home, School and Community Liaison Programme are more effective than in-school compensatory interventions. The HSCL draws together the home, local community partners and State agencies in order to tackle inequality at its core. This thesis examines the ways in which HSCL coordinators implement various components of the scheme and how they view the roles of the home, parents and the community within HSCL. The findings are used to examine the disparities between policy and practice. The final section of the study seeks to e...

Challenging assumptions of vulnerability: the significance of gender in the work, lives and identities of women human rights defenders
(2018)
Lajoie, Amie
Abstract:
In 1998, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognised Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, or as it is most commonly referred to: the "1998 Declaration on Human Rights Defenders". Following a 13-year drafting process, the adoption of the Declaration was hailed as a “milestone” by the international human rights community – and practitioners have since formed an expansive network of international, regional and national NGOs and agencies that focus on providing support and protection to this group. The term “human rights defender” (HRD) encompasses those who “individually or with others, act to promote or protect human rights” (OHCHR 2004, 2). ...

Contextualizing the 'Other': Parliamentary Discourses on Genocide and Rape in late nineteenth and late twentieth century Britain

Contextualizing the 'Other': Parliamentary Discourses on Genocide and Rape in late nineteenth and late twentieth century Britain
(2013)
Staunton, Carol
Abstract:
This thesis argues that parliamentary discourses on genocide and rape have experienced continuity throughout the twentieth century. This is evident from the repetition of discursive categories within the British Houses of Parliament during the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) and the Bosnian War (1992-1995), despite the fact that both conflicts occurred in extremely different political and social contexts. In other words, while historical contexts have changed, certain parliamentary discourses have not. This renders these discourses impractical and inadequate in the face of the current social and political environment. In identifying this trend, this thesis argues that the 'Other', the antithesis to the norm, ensures that certain acts are not recognised as genocide or rape. This in turn means these cases cannot be grieved or redressed because they do not exist as crimes, having not conformed to norms of recognition, thus failing to reach the established 'threshold of authe...

Digital youth building digital capacity: The experience of rural communities in Manitoba, Canada
(2021)
Kelly, Wayne
Abstract:
Today's digital society creates new realities and opportunities for rural communities. To fully take advantage of those digital opportunities, rural communities must build the capacity and culture to utilize digital technologies. People under 30 years old have grown up in a digital world, being born along with the Internet. In that context, youth may represent a unique opportunity for rural communities to embrace digital technologies and realize more of the benefits and prospects of a digital, 21st-century world. This Ph.D. research explores youth digital capital, describing the current use, barriers, and opportunities of youth and digital technologies in rural Manitoba communities. A digital lens is applied to the community capitals framework to examine rural digital readiness, opportunities and barriers in rural Manitoba. The concept of the digital divide and digital technology adoption provide additional context for the digital community capital lens. Concepts and ideas fro...

Emotions & social change in Ireland: Exploring habitus shift in liquid modernity

Heaney, Jonathan G.
Abstract:
Drawing on insights from a range of disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, history, politics, but particularly sociology and sociological theory, this thesis explores the relationship between emotions and social change in late or 'liquid' modernity. It deploys the Republic of Ireland in the twentieth century as a case study. It argues that the Irish case in an ideal site for this research given the speed and scale of changes that have occurred there, particularly since the 1950's. The primary research question guiding the study is: What has been the effect of 'social change' in Ireland on the emotional lives of Irish people? The thesis is structured in three parts. Part one (chapters one to three) is primarily theoretical. It aims to develop a distinctive theoretical framework, process-relational realism, and argues that three concepts, properly treated, are central to answering the research question. These are emotion, power and (emotional) h...

Family Support as an Approach to Working with Children and Families in Ireland: An Explorative Study of Past and Present Perspectives among Pioneers and Practitioners
(2011)
Devaney, Carmel
Abstract:
In Ireland, the value and merit of Family Support as an approach to working with children is debated and contested. From a policy and practice perspective, Family Support is at times recognised and applauded as a worthwhile orientation in addressing difficulties in children's lives or conversely demeaned or ignored. As Family Support is a relatively new orientation in children's services there has been little consideration as to the factors which have shaped and informed its growth. A lack of clarity and vagueness remains in policy and practice terms as to what Family Support is. Furthermore, a purposely designed postgraduate education programme in Family Support Studies delivered by the Child and Family Research Centre, at the School of Political Science and Sociology, National University of Ireland, Galway has not been evaluated in terms of its influence on participating students. Considering this gap in knowledge, the overarching aim of this study therefore is to review...

Khoo, Su-Ming
Abstract:
What exactly constitutes 'good governance' in a highly globalized economy? Developmental state theory suggests that high-growth "tiger" economies have "developmental" features and capabilities that other states lack, allowing them to govern the market and strategically promote capitalist development. This paper engages in a comparative analysis of the developmental state in Ireland and Malaysia. It presents an overview of development policies in two "tiger" economies -- Ireland in the European region and Malaysia, in the Southeast Asian region. It compares the role of the two developmental states in directing economic policy and structural transformation and examines how their development policies are socially embedded. The comparative study of these two cases is located within a broader framework of critical global political economy. Aside from questions of developmental effectiveness, the key analytical question is about developmental inclus...

Holding a Vision: An Investgation of a Rights-Based Social Supports Infrastructure for Children/Young Persons with an Intellectual Disability in Ireland
(2013)
Browne, Michael
Abstract:
The overall aim of the research was to assess the realities of the current social supports infrastructure as it applies children/young persons with an intellectual disability against the components of a rights paradigm. A case study approach was used to gather the data necessary to address the overall aim and related objectives of the study. The research target group were children/young persons who have been assessed as having an intellectual disability and, as a result, are in receipt of additional services and supports from the State. The thesis took as its starting point the fact that people with an intellectual disability are widely regarded as one of the most marginalised groups in society. While there has been a significant increase in the knowledge base, research literature, and targeted policies in the areas of both rights and social support, the linkages between the two discourses have not been well developed, particularly in relation to children/young persons with an int...

How adults tell: messages for society and policy makers regarding disclosure of childhood sexual abuse

How adults tell: messages for society and policy makers regarding disclosure of childhood sexual abuse
(2019)
Mooney, Joseph
Abstract:
The social work profession in Ireland plays a significant role in the assessment of child sexual abuse referrals. Somewhat unique in an international context, this role encompasses assessment of disclosures by current children who have experienced abuse but also disclosures by adults who have experienced abuse in their childhood. This latter role has remained undefined, un-legislated and under-resourced since its recognition in child protection guidelines in 1999. Anecdotally, the result of such inattention has had devastating effects on those adults who come forward to disclose. This research seeks to explore such concerns by examining how adults tell and addressing the central research question of ‘what is it like for an adult to disclose to child protection services in Ireland?’ This research presents individual voice and lived-experience of adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. It utilises a Biographical Narrative Interviewing Methodology (BNIM) and is situated in ...

Human rights and foreign investment
(2015)
Curtis, Joshua
Abstract:
This study details the mechanisms of a neoliberal ideology operative in the current international approach to foreign direct investment (FDI). It charts an increasing dependency on FDI within the process of international financing for development and illustrates this in regard to the Monterrey Consensus and the Doha Declaration. It then describes the structure and intricacies of international investment law as a global administrative (or global constitutional) disciplinary regime that enforces a dependency on FDI as the ideal development solution. The regulatory gaps and contradictions inherent in this system are explored through the lens of human rights law, particularly with reference to the developing extraterritorial obligations on wealthy states emerging from recent research on socioeconomic rights. These obligations form a framework that is applied to the mutually reinforcing systems of investment law and financing for development in order to test their capacity to redress th...

Initial motivation and its impact on quality and dynamics in formal youth mentoring relationships: A longitudinal qualitative study
(2018)
Brumovská, Tereza
Abstract:
This longitudinal qualitative study explores experiences and understandings of the mentoring role in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Czech Republic mentoring programme, using a phenomenological approach. In particular, the study explores mentors’ initial motivation for volunteering and its impact on mentoring experiences, and the quality and dynamics of developed formal youth mentoring relationships. As such, it explores in detail the characteristics and dynamics of helping processes that do or do not mediate mentoring benefits such as provided social supports to children. In addition, it explores the risks and ethical dilemmas associated with formal youth mentoring involvement. It highlights both the risks of the mentoring role and the characteristics of quality that mediate mentoring benefits. Thus, it illuminates the pathways through which formal mentors do or do not become significant adults for children and young people in formal youth mentoring relationships and interventions. It...

Last of the hunters or the next scientists? Arguments for and against the inclusion of fishers and their knowledge in mainstream fisheries management
(2012)
Hind, Edward Jeremy
Abstract:
The concept of fishers' knowledge is one that has largely been marginalised in mainstream fisheries management, often characterised by soft ecological narratives and social insights when the bias of fisheries managers is for hard quantitative data of a biological nature. This thesis makes an original contribution firstly, by situating the debate on the contested concept of fishers' knowledge within the political context of traditional fisheries science, which has been undergoing a paradigm crisis and demands for reform. Secondly, I draw a broad conceptual difference between a reformist account of fishers' knowledge and a more radical discourse which positions fishers' knowledge as an alternative to scientific enquiry. It is argued that a radical approach would be misguided, because fishers' knowledge is not as effective as scientific data for assessing fish stocks. Instead, a case is made to continue to use fishers' knowledge to explain remaining uncert...

Leadership in theory-based evaluation: an exploration of the feasibility and added-value of incorporating a focus on leadership in programme evaluation
(2014)
Ozan, Jessica
Abstract:
Evaluation is a relatively new field that is becoming increasingly embedded in society as a social activity supporting modern norms and values. Theory-based evaluations are a contemporary approach to evaluation that aim to identify the causal mechanisms impacting a programme in order to make inferences about its success or failure. Whilst effective leadership has been identified as a factor necessary for a programme's success, it remains under-considered in literature relating to methodology of evaluation. Drawing on an Irish case study, the process evaluation of the Tallaght West Childhood Development Initiative (CDI), this research aims to address this short-coming through examining the feasibility and added value of incorporating a focus on leadership in theory-based evaluations. The field work undertook for this research comprises 155 interviews, approximately 500 documents, and 80 observations. First, a quantitative retro-analysis examines the existence of leadership indic...

Mobility Matters: Technology, Telework, and the (Un)sustainable Consumption of Distance

Hynes, Michael
Abstract:
Anthropogenic climate change and its environmental and social consequences are of increasing concern worldwide. Approaches that advocate a 'greening' of current economic and social systems through technological innovation and development tend to dominate policy responses, particularly in resource-intensive sectors such as transport. Technology is perceived in (over)optimistic terms, with limited evidence of challenges to contemporary growth-centric models of development, production, and consumption that cause climate change, a position that can be labelled as a shallow Ecological Modernisation (EM) approach. Work takes up a considerable portion of people's lives whilst travelling to and from work has become a key feature of everyday mobility in many developed and developing countries. A significant contributor to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, transport in its current form is deemed to be unsustainable. In a European context, telework - an arrangement that enabl...

Motherhood, mothering and the Irish prison system
(2018)
O'Malley, Sinead Mary
Abstract:
While there have been some recent reflections on the Irish experience of supporting mothers facing adversity, there remains a dearth in research exposing the voices of vulnerable and marginalised mothers. This is undoubtedly the case for incarcerated mothers in Ireland. While there has been some recent scholarly and advocacy attention regarding imprisoned women, which by default recognises the challenges faced by imprisoned mothers and their children, this well-intentioned discourse is often based on outdated, estimated or international research. Moreover, it is frequently without the involvement of the mothers themselves nor does it place the maternal voice as central to the journey through the various criminal and social justice systems. Finally, Ireland’s unique catholic history, its representation of Irish motherhood and its distinct child welfare system has not been examined in conjunction with the current formal prison system. Considering this, the aim of this research is to e...

Parenting in Ireland: Polish perspectives on child-rearing and help-seeking in a culturally diverse neighbourhood

Kealy, Carmen
Abstract:
Despite Ireland’s ever-increasing cultural diversity over the last two decades, Irish social science research has yet to give sufficient attention to the actual life experiences of migrant parents. As a result, there is a dearth of knowledge of the everyday processes through which migrant parents in Ireland confront cultural differences. This thesis gives voice to Polish migrant parents of primary school children residing in a culturally diverse neighbourhood in Ireland and examines the norms that shape their role as parents, their parental experiences and their help-seeking behaviour. In doing so, it fills a substantial gap in existing knowledge. The study took a cultural approach to parenting research in order to improve our understanding of ethnic minority and migrant parenting. The findings of this study are based on narratives of both Polish migrant parents and support service providers elicited through qualitative methods and a framework approach to analysis. Based on the find...

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to explore the impact orientation of principal investigators (PIs) of publicly funded medical device research projects. PI impact orientation can be defined as the awareness, attitudes and approaches of principal investigators in relation to the generation and prioritisation of research impact. The methodological approach undertaken was qualitative in nature, involving semistructured, open-ended interviews with a full population sample (n=38) of PIs affiliated with CÚRAM, the SFI Centre for Research in Medical Devices. Applying a thematic analysis approach. findings were gathered into four thematic groups; PI perspectives on impact, factors influencing PI impact orientation, factors inhibiting PI impact orientation, and PI approaches to impact. The main findings of this study include medical device PIs understanding of impact consisting of scientific impact and broader impacts (health, societal, economic and human capital), with many PIs viewing health, econ...

Professional women’s entrepreneurship in Amman City, Jordan: Drivers and impacts
(2019)
Boshmaf, Hadeel
Abstract:
Women entrepreneurs took more than 30 years to be identified as an individual group. Yet, early work on women’s entrepreneurship can be branded as mostly descriptive, examining. Women’s entrepreneurship has been used as a means to alleviate extreme poverty, accepting a gender as a variable method and, for the most part, missing in information about feminist theory and gender. This research seeks to counteract the dearth of women entrepreneurship literature, that much of the empirical and theoretical research on women entrepreneurship does not have the sense of feminist grounding. Development theory brings a robust and rigorous gender and analysis to the subject of economic development that entrepreneurship field do not clearly focus on, whereas biological difference was looked as variable, but it is not located in the social political cultural context. A notable gap in the current literature is exploration of women’s entrepreneurship among those who are not ‘at the margin’ and unde...
