  • Changing perspectives on corporal punishment in schools

    Open AccessJ Parkes, Daniel Carter et al.ARTICLEChildhood2025References: 6

    This paper contributes to decolonising ways in which corporal punishment has been understood and represented in Africa, through engaging with the complex views of young Ugandans about corporal punishment in schools. Conceptualising time as non-linear, and violence as a web of power, our analysis of longitudinal, mixed method data traces how physical punishment functioned to maintain the generational order, and as a regulatory practice in schools.…

  • Unintended pregnancies in the lives of young people in Luwero, Uganda

    Open AccessJ Parkes, Simone Datzberger et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2024

    Using a feminist narrative approach, this article explores how unintended pregnancy can rupture young lives, and how young people respond to and navigate these ruptures. We analyse qualitative data from a longitudinal cohort study in Luwero, Uganda, focusing on narratives of a girl and a boy about their recent experiences of unintended and unwanted pregnancy during COVID-19 school closures. We argue that laws, policies and norms relating to educa…

  • Young people’s experiences of informal kinship care in Luwero, Uganda

    Open AccessSimone Datzberger, J Parkes et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2024References: 24

    There is strong evidence that outside parental care, informal kinship care is the most practiced, sustainable and affordable form of childcare in SSA (sub-Saharan Africa). As a longstanding cultural tradition, informal kinship care embraces childcare as the responsibility of all extended family members, and often the wider community. However, over the past decades, informal kinship care has become gradually strained by political, economic and soc…

  • Intensified inequities

    Open AccessSimone Datzberger, J Parkes et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2023

    Uganda had the longest period of school closures worldwide as a response measure during the Covid‐19 pandemic. Drawing on longitudinal qualitative data from the Contexts of Violence in Adolescence Cohort Study (CoVAC) (2018–2023), we examine how this has affected the lives of adolescents in Uganda. Our analysis showcases how intersecting inequities based on socioeconomic circumstances, gender and location have intensified, with detrimental effect…

  • Remote methods for research on violence against women and children

    Open AccessAmiya Bhatia, Ellen Turner et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Collecting data to understand violence against women and children during and after the COVID-19 pandemic is essential to inform violence prevention and response efforts. Although researchers across fields have pivoted to remote rather than in-person data collection, remote research on violence against women, children and young people poses particular challenges. As a group of violence researchers, we reflect on our experiences across eight studie…

  • Addressing silences in research on girls’ experiences of teacher sexual violence

    Open AccessJ Parkes, Amiya Bhatia et al.ARTICLEComparative Education2022Cited by: 3References: 2

    Growing evidence from multiple countries in Africa documents sexual violence in schools. However, when that violence is committed by teachers it is shrouded in secrecy. This article identifies disconnects between quantitative and qualitative research, policy and practice, which have contributed to these silences. We address some of these silences through a dialogical analysis of mixed methods data from the Contexts of Violence in Adolescence Coho…
