  • Small Stories of Home Moves: A Gendered and Generational Breadth-and-Depth Investigation

    Open Access•Rosalind Edwards, Weller et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 31

    This article explores the way people from different age cohorts and genders talk about home moves to contribute a rounded and nuanced relational understanding. We draw on a secondary analysis of qualitative longitudinal data from multiple archived studies, using a breadth-and-depth analytic approach. Conceptually, we apply a linked lives perspective that understands home moves as tied to sets of social relationships and involving the navigation o…

  • Children, childhoods and bilingualism: Exploring experiences, perspectives and policies

    Open Access•Tracey Peace-Hughes, Tracey Peace‐Hughes et al.•ARTICLE•Children & Society•2022

    This special issue brings together scholars from a range of disciplines and contexts concerned with children,1 childhood and bilingualism; that is the ability to communicate in two or more languages with any degree of proficiency, from minimal to advanced (Grosjean, 2010). Language is fundamental to human culture and personhood and a key part of identity at an individual, family and community level. However, language may also be used at a nationa…

  • (Re)configuring moral boundaries of intergenerational justice: The UK parent-led climate movement

    Open Access•Lisa Howard, Rachel Howell et al.•ARTICLE•Local Environment•2021

    The interests of children in a climate-challenged future are under-represented within UK policy-making and public discourse. Debates on intergenerational equity have centred on economic logic rather than the moral issue of harms to the next generation, or the responsibilities of today’s generation. Civil movements play an important role in changing public and political thinking on this issue; however, research on intergenerational climate justice…

  • Theory and the breadth-and-depth method of analysing large amounts of qualitative data: A research note

    Open Access•Rosalind Edwards, Emma Davidson et al.•ARTICLE•Quality & Quantity•2021

    This research note builds on a previously published discussion of the ‘breadth-and-depth’ method for working with extensive amounts of secondary qualitative data, to consider the way that theory can be used and developed as part of this method. We illustrate potential deductive, inductive, and abductive logics of the relationship between theory and data that can be pursued using the method, but note that in reality research analysis rarely procee…

  • What do children think of their own bilingualism? Exploring bilingual children’s attitudes and perceptions

    Open Access•Tracey Peace-Hughes, Philomena De Lima et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Aims and objectives: This paper explores children’s experiences and perceptions of their own bilingualism in two contexts in Scotland, UK: a primary school with a high proportion of children using a language other than English at home; and a primary school where the language of instruction is an indigenous, minority language, Gaelic. Methodology: The paper draws upon data gathered from multiple qualitative methods, including interviews, group act…

  • Educational outcomes of political participation? Young first-time voters 3 years after the Scottish Independence Referendum

    Maddie Breeze, H Gorringe et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Youth Studies•2021•References: 18

    After the enfranchisement of 16- and 17-year olds in the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum, much research continued to prioritise questions of how education influences young people's political engagement. By contrast, this paper advances an original focus on educational outcomes of youth political participation and investigates how political engagement might have educational consequences. Shortly after the referendum, we interviewed a strateg…

  • Future Building and Emotional Reflexivity: Gendered or Queered Navigations of Agency in Non-Normative Relationships

    Open Access•Mary Holmes, Lynn Jamieson et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 44

    This article sets out a conceptual framework for examining future building as an emotionally reflexive practice of intimacy and gendered agency. Emotionally reflexive future building is a relational activity, subject to gendering but open to queering. We illustrate this by drawing on cases taken from three qualitative studies that deal with the future building of women in relationships that do not conform to norms around having and rearing childr…

  • Childbearing in Italy and Spain: Postponement Narratives

    Open Access•Adele Lebano, Lynn Jamieson•ARTICLE•Population and Development Review•2020•Cited by: 24•References: 37

    Italy and Spain are extreme cases of low fertility linked to postponement of childbearing. Demographers continue to debate causes of postponement. This qualitative study was designed to contribute, by purposively selecting Italian and Spanish women in different socio-economic circumstances who are partnered, childless and aged 30 to 35. Most want children but "not now" or are deferring the decision whether to have children. Their different circum…

  • Sociologies of Personal Relationships and the Challenge of Climate Change

    Open Access•Lynn Jamieson•ARTICLE•Sociology•2020•Cited by: 6•References: 135

    The substantive concerns and theoretical insights of sociologies of family, intimate and personal life ought to place this body of work in closer dialogue with environmental sociology over the 'big issue' of climate change. However, its research active practitioners typically have a narrower repertoire of engagement with global issues and those who are outside the topic area often miss the value of its contributions. This article discusses common…

  • Big data, qualitative style: A breadth-and-depth method for working with large amounts of secondary qualitative data

    Open Access•Emma Davidson, Rosalind Edwards et al.•ARTICLE•Quality & Quantity•2019

    Archival storage of data sets from qualitative studies presents opportunities for combining small-scale data sets for reuse/secondary analysis. In this paper, we outline our approach to combining multiple qualitative data sets and explain why working with a corpus of 'big qual' data is a worthwhile endeavour. We present a new approach that iteratively combines recursive surface thematic mapping and in-depth interpretive work. Our breadth-and-dept…

  • Outdated assumptions about maternal grandmothers? Gender and lineage in grandparent–grandchild relationships

    Open Access•Lynn Jamieson, Eloi Ribe et al.•ARTICLE•Contemporary Social Science•2018•Cited by: 4•References: 4

    The impact of lineage and gender on the quality of grandparent–grandchild relationships has become more complicated in recent decades. ‘In countries with high rates of couple dissolution and re-partnering, the number of a child’s potential grandparents increases as the parents of parents’ new partners or the new partners of grandparents become part of the family. The broadening of ‘family’ potentially puts new types of grandparents on an equal fo…

  • Intimacy

    Open Access•Lynn Jamieson•OTHER•The Blackwell Encyclopedia of…•2017•Cited by: 2

    What is imagined by “intimacy” as a quality of relationships is often associated with particular ways of behaving. Intimacy is sometimes defined narrowly to mean the familiarity resulting from close association. In this sense, domestic life across much of the life course in all societies is intimate. Living arrangements that involve sharing domestic space, a “hearth and home”; the caring activities associated with bearing and raising children; an…

  • Becoming independent: Political participation and youth transitions in the Scottish referendum

    Open Access•Maddie Breeze, H Gorringe et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Sociology•2017•Cited by: 10•References: 25

    Sociological debates on youth engagement with electoral politics play out against a backdrop of supposed 'decline' in civic participation (e.g. Putnam , Norris, ), in turn contextualized by theories of individualization in 'late' or 'reflexive' modernity (Beck, Giddens). However, the enfranchisement of 16 and 17 year olds in the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum catalysed remarkably high levels of voter turnout among this youngest group, and …

  • Families, relationships and ‘environment’: (Un)sustainability, climate change and biodiversity loss

    Lynn Jamieson•ARTICLE•Families Relationships and…•2016•Cited by: 10•References: 27

    Few of the many social science researchers writing about personal life are simultaneously addressing the cluster of issues sometimes referred to by the shorthand ‘environment’ – sustainability, climate change, loss of biodiversity and depletion of natural resources. This article argues for much more effort in this direction, suggesting agendas for new research, and advocating knowledge exchange engagement with activists and policy-makers. A theor…

  • Everybody's Scottish at the end of the day’: Nationalism and Social Justice Amongst Young Yes Voters

    Open Access•Maddie Breeze, H Gorringe et al.•ARTICLE•Scottish Affairs•2015•Cited by: 4•References: 6

    In the wake of the diverse mobilization for Yes in the 2014 Independence Referendum and unprecedented SNP gains in the 2015 General Election, a number of commentators deployed a rhetoric of ‘dangerous nationalism’ by way of explanation and criticism. Such an interpretation is refuted by survey evidence and complicated by sociologies of nationalism and national identity. This short article joins these debates, and presents analysis of ten explorat…

  • Living Alone: Globalization, Identity and Belonging

  • Home and away: Constructing family and childhood in the context of working parenthood

    Jeni Harden, Kathryn Backett‐milburn et al.•ARTICLE•Children s Geographies•2013•Cited by: 15•References: 11

    Little is known about children's views and experiences of their parents’ work−life reconciliation and how these are negotiated in everyday family practices. This article examines families' experiences of work−life reconciliation from both children's and parents' perspectives, drawing on a qualitative longitudinal study with 14 families in Scotland. Such experiences have implications for the spatial and temporal construction of family and childhoo…

  • Children and young people's relationships, relational processes and social change: Reading across worlds

    Lynn Jamieson, Sue Milne•ARTICLE•Children s Geographies•2012•Cited by: 11•References: 14

    We begin by defining relationships and relational processes, before presenting children's personal relationships, and the relational processes making them personal, as of particular significance in shaping selves and social worlds. This sets the scene for the relevance of children and young people's personal relationships compared across Majority and Minority Worlds to debates about global social change. This includes claims characterising change…

    What do you want to be when you grow up?' is a question often asked of children yet little is known about how children and their parents think about their future in terms of employment. This paper, based on qualitative longitudinal research with 14 families, explores children's and parents' narratives about children's employment futures, illuminating the values, social relations and structures through which such narratives are formed.

  • Intimacy as a Concept: Explaining Social Change in the Context of Globalisation or Another Form of Ethnocentricism

    Open Access•Lynn Jamieson•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2011•Cited by: 128•References: 23

    This article focuses on intimacy in terms of its analytical potential for understanding social change without the one-nation blinkers sometimes referred to as 'methodological nationalism' and without Euro-North-American ethnocentrism. Extending from the concept of family practices, practices of intimacy are sketched and examples considered across cultures. The cultural celebration and use of the term 'intimacy' is not universal, but practices of …

  • Intimacy Transformed? A Critical Look at the 'Pure Relationship

    Open Access•Lynn Jamieson•ARTICLE•Sociology•1999•Cited by: 123•References: 23

    It has recently been claimed that a particular form of intimacy, `the pure relationship' is increasingly sought in personal life. For a couple, `the pure relationship' involves opening out to each other, enjoying each other's unique qualities and sustaining trust through mutual disclosure. Anthony Giddens (1992) postulates a transformation of intimacy in all personal relationships with radical consequences for the gender order. Popular discourse …

    The claims that locality, kinship, and social class are no longer the basis of ties that bind and of limited significance for identity in late modernity, remain seductive, despite their critics. Those who remain rooted are then presented as inhabitants of traditional backwaters, outside the mainstream of social change. This article presents young people's reasons for leaving or remaining in a rural area of Britain, the Scottish Borders. Young peo…

  • Timespans and Plans Among Young Adults

    Open Access•Michael Anderson, Frank Bechhofer et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2005•Cited by: 15•References: 18

    This article uses data from a survey of young adults in Kirkcaldy, Fife, together with associated qualitative interviews, to throw empirical light on their sense of control over their lives and their perceived willingness and ability to plan their lives. Its principal conclusion, contrary to the suggestions of much previous literature, is that a majority of young adults of both genders do, by their early twenties at least, feel in control of thei…

  • Cohabitation and Commitment: Partnership Plans of Young Men and Women

    Open Access•Lynn Jamieson, Michael Anderson et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2002•Cited by: 13•References: 3

    Popular commentators on marriage and the family often interpret the increase in heterosexual couples living together without marrying as reduced willingness to create and honour life-long partnerships. Survey and in-depth interviews with samples of 20-29 year olds living in an urban area of Scotland finds little support for the postulated link between growing cohabitation and a weakened sense of commitment to long-term arrangements. Most of the c…

  • Confidence amid Uncertainty: Ambitions and Plans in a Sample of Young Adults

    The limited and sometimes contradictory published literature, mostly relating to younger age groups and non-British societies, suggests that planning and a longer time perspective are inhibited by economic insecurity, by tight structuring of the life course, and a track record of failing to achieve ambitions. This paper uses survey data, backed by qualitative interviews, to investigate planning and forethought in a sample of young adults in the S…

  • Solo-Living, Demographic and Family Change: The Need to know more about men

    Solo-living is analytically separate from 'being single' and merits separate study. In most Western countries more men are solo-living than women at ages conventionally associated with co-resident partners and children. Discussions of 'demographic transition' and change in personal life however typically place women in the vanguard, to the relative neglect of men. We draw on European Social Survey data and relevant qualitative research from Europ…

    The contrast between the service class and the working class is central to much class analysis. This structural distinction, based on differences in the employment relationship, is analytically powerful, has validity, and is not in question here. The working class, however, is not homogeneous in all respects. This paper focuses on a sizeable group within the working class who perceive themselves as having (or having had) a career.

    Attitude survey and interview data are mobilised to address neglect of men's contribution to low fertility and wider social change in families and relationships. Men's attitudes are as relevant as women's to understanding fertility behaviour. However, fertility behaviour can only be understood in the context of a package of changes in gender relations and family life. Data from a random sample of men aged 18-49 surveyed in the Scottish Social Att…

    This article uses data from a survey of young adults in Kirkcaldy, Fife, together with associated qualitative interviews, to throw empirical light on their sense of control over their lives and their perceived willingness and ability to plan their lives. Its principal conclusion, contrary to the suggestions of much previous literature, is that a majority of young adults of both genders do, by their early twenties at least, feel in control of thei…

  • European Identities: From Absent-Minded Citizens to Passionate Europeans

    Open Access•Sue Grundy, Lynn Jamieson•ARTICLE•Sociology•2007•Cited by: 5•References: 15

    Conflicting prognoses for European identity are addressed using data from residents of Edinburgh, Scotland, on the everyday significance of being European; a theoretically informed focus on people in one city. A representative sample of established residents aged 18—24 years are compared with a sample of resident peers engaged in Europe-oriented work or study. Survey data provide an overview of their different understandings of Europe and pattern…

  • Solo-Living, Demographic and Family Change: The Need to know more about men

    Open Access•Lynn Jamieson, Fran Wasoff et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2009•Cited by: 12•References: 41

    Solo-living is analytically separate from 'being single' and merits separate study. In most Western countries more men are solo-living than women at ages conventionally associated with co-resident partners and children. Discussions of 'demographic transition' and change in personal life however typically place women in the vanguard, to the relative neglect of men. We draw on European Social Survey data and relevant qualitative research from Europ…

  • Fertility and Social Change: The Neglected Contribution of Men's Approaches to Becoming Partners and Parents

    Open Access•Lynn Jamieson, Kathryn Backett Milburn et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2010•Cited by: 5•References: 34

    Attitude survey and interview data are mobilised to address neglect of men's contribution to low fertility and wider social change in families and relationships. Men's attitudes are as relevant as women's to understanding fertility behaviour. However, fertility behaviour can only be understood in the context of a package of changes in gender relations and family life. Data from a random sample of men aged 18-49 surveyed in the Scottish Social Att…

  • Intimacy as a Concept: Explaining Social Change in the Context of Globalisation or Another Form of Ethnocentricism

    Open Access•Lynn Jamieson•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2011•Cited by: 128•References: 23

    This article focuses on intimacy in terms of its analytical potential for understanding social change without the one-nation blinkers sometimes referred to as 'methodological nationalism' and without Euro-North-American ethnocentrism. Extending from the concept of family practices, practices of intimacy are sketched and examples considered across cultures. The cultural celebration and use of the term 'intimacy' is not universal, but practices of …

  • Children and young people's relationships, relational processes and social change: Reading across worlds

    Lynn Jamieson, Sue Milne•ARTICLE•Children s Geographies•2012•Cited by: 11•References: 14

    We begin by defining relationships and relational processes, before presenting children's personal relationships, and the relational processes making them personal, as of particular significance in shaping selves and social worlds. This sets the scene for the relevance of children and young people's personal relationships compared across Majority and Minority Worlds to debates about global social change. This includes claims characterising change…

  • Hopes for the Future: Parents' and Children's Narratives of Children's Future Employment Orientations

    Open Access•Jeni Harden, Kathryn Backett‐milburn et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2012•Cited by: 3•References: 21

    What do you want to be when you grow up?' is a question often asked of children yet little is known about how children and their parents think about their future in terms of employment. This paper, based on qualitative longitudinal research with 14 families, explores children's and parents' narratives about children's employment futures, illuminating the values, social relations and structures through which such narratives are formed. The paper r…

  • Home and away: Constructing family and childhood in the context of working parenthood

    Jeni Harden, Kathryn Backett‐milburn et al.•ARTICLE•Children s Geographies•2013•Cited by: 15•References: 11

    Little is known about children's views and experiences of their parents’ work−life reconciliation and how these are negotiated in everyday family practices. This article examines families' experiences of work−life reconciliation from both children's and parents' perspectives, drawing on a qualitative longitudinal study with 14 families in Scotland. Such experiences have implications for the spatial and temporal construction of family and childhoo…
