SUMMARY:RDV: Exploring the intersection of food and family intervention policies in England: how are children included?
DESCRIPTION:In England\, a rhetoric of supporting ‘troubled families’ through policy interventions mushroomed during the New Labour years of the late 1990s. At this time\, early years settings became sites of particular interest in which to implement these policies\, seen as places where perceived deficiencies in the household could be addressed. This has led to an overlap of policy domains\, predominantly between early years education and family intervention\, yet also expanding into other areas. In this context\, children’s food policy is seen as an especially fruitful area for intervention\, where the aim of ‘improving children’s diets’ often seems to be interlaced with a concern for ‘improving parenting styles’.  \nBased on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in London between 2016 and 2017\, this paper explores what happens at the intersection of these different policy domains\, examining how particular framings of policy problems – and the solutions developed to address these problems – lead to contradictions and arbitrary results. Linking to wider discussions about the current early childhood education and care (ECEC) landscape in England\, the paper also asks to what extent are children’s viewpoints and experiences considered when interventions are developed\, and what can be gained when doing so in a meaningful way.   \nAbout the speaker \nFrancesca Vaghi is a Research Associate at the School of Social & Political Science at the University of Glasgow\, Scotland. She is currently conducting research on the work of contemporary NHS charities as part of the Border Crossings project: https://more.bham.ac.uk/border-crossings/border-crossings/projects/ \nFrancesca is interested in medical anthropology\, the anthropology of policy\, and childhood studies. She completed her PhD in 2019 at SOAS\, University of London. For her doctoral research\, Francesca conducted ethnographic fieldwork in a state-maintained nursery in London over a 12-month period\, developing a child-centred methodological approach to meaningfully involve children in research. Aside from investigating how children create self and peer identities through food and eating practices\, her work explores how children’s food policy fits into family intervention policies in the context of Britain’s mixed economy of welfare\, and how notions of ‘good food’ and ‘good parenting’ (particularly mothering) are interlinked. Her book\, Food Policy and Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care\, has just been published by Routledge. \nFrancesca is interested in advancing critical approaches in public health\, specifically looking at how dominant policy discourses (re)create and seek to address ‘problems’ that have particular implications for working class and ethnic minority families\, particularly in matters related to food insecurity\, childhood poverty\, and childcare policy. https://pureportal.strath.ac.uk/en/persons/francesca-vaghi (Guest researcher at DIPA from the 2nd of April–1st of May). \n  \nHow to participate: You can access the event via this Zoom link.  \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Traveling across disciplinary boundaries:  A journey into applying literary criticism to public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats
DESCRIPTION:Researchers in the social sciences\, including legal studies\, political science\, social work\, and sociology\, utilize specific\, discipline-based approaches to analyzing written texts\, including frequency counts of words and text segments and determining thematic patterns emerging from the data. This seminar\, with speakers Katrin Križ and Daniela Reimer and discussant Tarja Pösö\, aims to walk participants beyond the boundaries of these social science approaches by introducing the methods of literary criticism and reflecting on their methodological potential. What can social scientists learn from literary criticism methods for analyzing public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats? “Public-facing texts” are documents by street-level bureaucrats like child protection caseworkers\, judges\, teachers\, and police officers written for members of the public as part of public policy implementation. Examples of these texts in child protection are court judgments or university course curricula for future child protection caseworkers. This seminar explores how literary criticism methods could be valuable for systematically examining and interpreting these texts.  \nFirst\, Križ and Reimer will discuss literary criticism methods before reflecting on how social scientists could apply them. Second\, they will use their research about child protection-related court judgments by the European Court of Human Rights as an example. Lastly\, Križ and Reimer invite seminar participants to reflect on how these methods might be useful in their own research when studying public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats. You are invited to read this information about literary criticism if you want to learn more about it before the seminar (total reading time: 10 minutes):  \n\nLumen Learning. An introduction to literary criticism \nLumen Learning: Approaches to literary criticism \n\nAbout the Speakers  \nKatrin Križ is a Professor of Sociology at Emmanuel College (USA) and a research associate at the Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism (DIPA).  \nKriž has extensive competence in Social Policy\, Qualitative Social Research\, Sociological Theory\, Public Policy\, Family Studies and Child Welfare. Her research is focused on the role of professional discretion in decisions related to a child’s best interests and child welfare systems in an international context.  \nTogether with colleagues Frøydis Lønborg Haarberg\, Audun Gabriel Løvlie\, and Marit Skivenes at the University of Bergen\, Križ is working on the research project “Children’s Right to Participation”.  \nDaniela Reimer is a Professor at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences\, School of Social Work\, specializing in child and youth services\, family dynamics\, and foster care. Her research focuses on understanding the experiences of children in care\, particularly in transitions and identity formation.  \nReimer has conducted extensive studies on (foster) family cultures\, the interplay of normality and identity among young people in foster care\, and breakdowns within foster care systems. Currently\, she leads a qualitative longitudinal study exploring the experiences of young adults who have transitioned from foster care.  \nTarja Pösö is a Professor Emerita at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Tampere University (Finland) and Professor II at the Department of Government (University of Bergen).  \nPösö has extensive experience in the studies of child protection\, social work\, and institutional practices\, with a keen interest in cross-cultural perspectives and developing methods and ethics for child protection studies.  \nHer particular research interests are how social workers navigate among different sources of information and interest when making decisions and assessing the outcome of their decisions in child protection\,  the child welfare systems perceive and act with migrant children\, the principle of ‘the child’s best interest’ is included in the decision-making process.  \nHow to participate: At Jekteviksbakken 31 or via this Zoom link.  \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.
