No Ethics Needed? Towards an Ethics of Care for Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement
INTRODUCTION: Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) enhances the inclusivity, relevance and responsiveness of health research for communities. Although public and patient involvement is grounded in lived experience and typically falls outside formal ethical review, ethical considerations nonetheless arise. This paper therefore examines PPIE concepts and practices through an EoC lens. METHOD: Through a thematic, iterative review of …
Childhood, Emotions and the Labour of Transnational Families
Kindheit und Emotionsarbeit in transnationalen Familien Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag befasst sich mit Kindern, die in London geboren sind, deren familiärer Herkunftsort Bangladesch ist und die zwischen den beiden (Trans)Lokalitäten East London und Sylhet (einem Distrikt in Bangladesch) mobil sind.

Giving children a ‘voice’: Arts-based participatory research activities and representation
This paper looks at the use of participatory arts-based methods with pre-teen children, of Bangladeshi heritage, within a school context. The paper addresses the relationship between how childhood is conceptualised and the methodological issues arising. In particular, the paper focuses on the use of participatory and creative child-centred practices that seek to include children’s ‘voices’. Through an account of producing artwork for an exhibitio…
My Away is Here: Place, Emplacement and Mobility amongst British Bengali Children
This paper focuses on the ways in which children negotiate complex transnational identities and roles. Based on research amongst Bangladeshi children living in East London in families who maintain transnational linkages with Bangladesh, the paper draws attention to the ways in which British-born Bangladeshi children are mobile not only across places but also across time. The paper also draws upon Katz' notion of ‘emplacement’, with its focus on p…
Researching Transnational Childhoods
This paper reflects on experiences of conducting research with transnational children. It brings together criticisms from within anthropology of the conceptualisation of stable and bounded fields, and discussion of conceptual and methodological approaches to researching children and childhoods. Taking research with British Bangladeshi transnational children as a case in point, the paper addresses the challenge of conducting research with transnat…
‘I’ve got two houses. One in Bangladesh and one in London … everybody has’: Home, locality and belonging(s)
This article explores the experiences of ‘home’ for British-born Bangladeshi children who are active members of transnational families. The article illustrates that these children, who are mobile between Sylhet and London, play an active role in maintaining transnational linkages. The article critiques the omission of children’s perspectives in understanding ideas and practices of ‘home’ within the diaspora and among transnational families. A key…
Social Relations Beyond the Family: Exploring elderly South Asian women's friendships in London
In exploring elderly South Asian women's networks this paper critiques the predominant focus on kinship (based on descent and or affinity) that has been the prism through which South Asian women's lives have been explored. Through research carried out at weekly meetings attended by elderly South Asian women, this paper addresses the significance of friendships for migrant South Asian women. The paper highlights how networks are formed, maintained…
Gender, ethnicity and social relations in the narratives of elderly Sikh men and women
This article explores narratives by elderly Sikh men and women about their arrival in Tanzania and highlights the significance of gender, ethnicity and social networks. The article argues that narratives provide rich accounts of the ways in which social capital, understood as resources held in networks, is influenced by social identities and place. It demonstrates that such nuances remain hidden in standard methods, such as surveys, generally use…
Marriage and Migration through the Life Course: Experiences of Widowhood, Separation and Divorce amongst Transnational Sikh Women
In this article I approach the relationship between marriage and migration from the perspective of transnational Sikh women who are, or seek to, separate from their husbands, or who have been widowed. Given the dominant ideals surrounding Sikh marriage, how do migrant women negotiate their non-married status, and how does this relate to their stage in the life course, their geographic location and their kin networks? The article draws attention t…
Place, gender and power in transnational Sikh marriages
In this article I explore the importance of place during transnational marriages and in particular during wedding rituals. The rituals described are two Sikh weddings taking place in East Africa and the Punjab respectively. Highlighting the importance of status and hierarchy during wedding events, the ethnography focuses on how transnationalism is experienced as a generator of status as well as a potential risk to status. Through an account in th…
