The co-benefits and risks of smart local energy systems
Applying ‘merging of knowledge’ in Tanzania
Merging of Knowledge is a research approach that creates the conditions for people with lived experience of poverty to participate at an equal level with academics and practitioners, in the co-generation of knowledge about poverty. This paper reflects critically on the application of ‘Merging of Knowledge’ to study poverty in Tanzania, assessing its challenges, achievements, and lessons learned about revealing hidden knowledge about poverty. It a…
Access to Social Protection by People Living with, at Risk of, or Affected by HIV in Eswatini, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia
We aimed to measure social protection coverage among the general population, women and men living with HIV (WLHIV, MLHV), female and male sex workers (FSW, MSW), men who have sex with men (MSM), adolescent girls young women (AGYW), and orphans vulnerable children (OVC) in Eswatini, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. We used Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment data. We operationalised social protection benefits as external economic support from priv…
Realising poverty in all its dimensions
Parenting Support in England
This article enquires into how parenting support, as concept, policy and provision, has penetrated the English social policy landscape, and critically considers why it has proved so popular with policy makers. It first outlines the existing policy configuration. The second section identifies some key factors precipitating the roll-out of parenting support and the third section takes an overview of the significance of the developments from a socia…
How does Aids illness affect women's residential decisions? Findings from an ethnographic study in a Cape Town township
This paper explores the nature and consequences of residential decision-making for women on treatment for AIDS illness in a poor urban settlement in South Africa. Drawing on ethnographic data collected over a two-year period, it points to the subtle shifts in 'householding' practices and kinship relationships prompted by women's individual experiences and understanding of their HIV status, illness and treatment. Women's decisions to move or to ar…
Ethics and the Everyday
Guidelines on ethical practice in research with children tend to focus on ways to protect children from potential economic and emotional exploitation. While such concerns deserve attention we argue that they represent only a portion of the moral framework in which researchers and participants operate. Through an analysis of children's engagement in a long-term ethnographic study where their participation involved both providing and gathering data…
'But where are our moral heroes?' An analysis of South African press reporting on children affected by HIV/Aids
Messages conveyed both explicitly and implicitly in the media play an important role in shaping the public's understanding of issues, as well as in shaping associated policy, programmes and popular responses to these issues. This paper applies discourse analysis to a series of articles about children affected by HIV/AIDS published in 2002/2003 in the English-language South African press. The analysis reveals layers of moral messaging present in t…
Predicting the social consequences of orphanhood in South Africa
This paper examines and questions the predictions found in the academic and policy literature of social breakdown in southern Africa in the wake of anticipated high rates of orphanhood caused by the AIDS epidemic. Analysis of the logic underlying these predictions reveals four causal relationships necessary to fulfil such dramatic and apocalyptic predictions: High AIDS mortality rates will produce high numbers of orphans. These orphans will becom…
Who Does the Housework? An Examination of South African Children's Working Roles
This paper examines childrens' participation in housework as a form of child labour. This is a particular concern in South Africa because of the possibility that children are being burdened with additional work due to HIV/AIDS. The analysis contextualises children's work in the home within broader socioeconomic trends and cultural norms around child-rearing, thus exposing the need to question the classification of different types of 'work' and 'r…
