Visual Impairment and Work Experiences of Visually Impaired People

Visual Impairment and Work Experiences of Visually Impaired People

This book traces the development of paid work for visually impaired people in the UK from the 18th century to the present day. It gives a voice to visually impaired people to talk about their working lives and documents the history of employment from their experience an approach which is severely lacking in the current literature about visual impairment and employment. By analysing fifty in-depth face-to-face interviews with visually impaired people talking about their working lives (featuring those who have worked in traditional jobs such as telephony physiotherapy and piano tuning to those who have pursued more unusual occupations and professions) and grouping them according to occupation and framed by documentary historical research these stories can be situated in their broader political economic ideological and cultural contexts. The themes that emerge will help to inform present day policy and practice within a context of high unemployment amongst visually impaired people of working age. It is part of a growing literature which gives voice to disabled people about their own lives and which adds to the growing academic discipline of disability studies and the empowerment of disabled people. | Visual Impairment and Work Experiences of Visually Impaired People

Children and Young People as Knowledge Producers

Children and Young People as Knowledge Producers

Despite the widespread promotion of children’s voices by activists and policy makers over the last decade the potential for young people’s knowledge to impact on adult agendas and policy arenas is by no means a certainty. This book presents critiques of participation in settings where young people are the centre of attention. The complexities and power-dynamics of youth- adult relationships are observed and analysed in a wide diversity of study environments from Hull to Sao Paulo rural Lesotho to Ghana using varied methods and over different time frames but with a strong focus throughout on context practice impacts and associated ethical considerations. The central concern of the book is not whether young people can produce better knowledge than adults but rather how to better understand the different knowledges which emerge from diverse actors within different generations in order to ensure that the maximum benefits accrue to children and young people with and for whom the research is conducted. This book was originally published as a special issue of Children's Geographies. | Children and Young People as Knowledge Producers

Young People Social Media and the Law

Young People Social Media and the Law

This book critically confronts perceptions that social media has become a ‘wasteland’ for young people. Law has become preoccupied with privacy intellectual property defamation and criminal behaviour in and through social media. In the case of children and youth this book argues these preoccupations – whilst important – have disguised and distracted public debate away from a much broader and more positive consideration of the nature of social media. In particular the legal tendency to consider social media as ‘dangerous’ for young people – to focus exclusively on the need to protect and control their online presence and privacy whilst tending to suspect or to criminalise their use of it – has obscured the potential of social media to help young people to participate more fully as citizens in society. Drawing on sociological work on the construction of childhood and engaging a wide range of national and international legal material this book argues that social media may yet offer the possibility of an entirely different – and more progressive –conceptualisation of children and youth. | Young People Social Media and the Law

Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN way

Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN way

ASEAN has declared its intention to create a security community in Southeast Asia that is people-orientated. This book evaluates ASEAN’s progress and in doing so examines three matters of concern. The book firstly looks at the importance of constitutive norms to the workings of security communities by identifying ASEAN’s constitutive norms and the extent to which they act as a help of hindrance in establishing a security community. It then moves on to how ASEAN has interpreted people-orientated as empowering civil society organisations to be community stakeholders. The book discusses the uncertainty between how ASEAN envisages their role and the role they themselves expect to have. Civil society actors are seeking to influence what sort of community evolves and their ability to interact with the state elite is evaluated to determine what interpretation of people-oriented is likely to emerge. Thirdly in order to make progress ASEAN has sought to achieve cooperation among its member states in functional areas. The book examines this interest in functional cooperation through case studies on human rights HIV/AIDS and disaster management. By discussing the notion of ASEAN being people-orientated and how it engages with ‘the people’ the book provides important insights into what type of community ASEAN in building as well as furthering our understanding on security communities more broadly. | Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN way

Cautionary Tales Young People Crime and Policing in Edinburgh

Cautionary Tales Young People Crime and Policing in Edinburgh

Juvenile crime makes headlines. It is the stock-in-trade of politicians and pundits. But young people are also the victims of crime. They too have demands to make of the police. Drawing upon survey and interview research with 11 to 15 year-olds in Edinburgh this book examines how crime impacts upon young people’s everyday lives. It reveals that young people experience far more serious problems as victims and witnesses of crime than they cause as offenders. It shows that they report little of their experiences of crime to the police and are left to find their own ways of managing risk such as telling cautionary tales about dangerous people and places. The study concludes by examining young people's relations with the police suggesting they are over-controlled as suspects and under-protected as victims. | Cautionary Tales Young People Crime and Policing in Edinburgh
