‘I want to scream it from the rooftops now […] there are other pathways’
This paper uses the framework of transition as becoming to explore what young people learned from participating in a post-secondary transition program that was co-designed by young people. The 9-week youth participatory action research (YPAR) involved six staff collaborators (SCs) and seven youth collaborators (YCs). Data comprised recordings of weekly group meetings, group interviews, reflections and artefacts such as planning documents, graphic…
‘It wasn’t adults and young people […] we’re all in it together’
This paper aims to contribute fresh insights into youth participatory action research (YPAR) by using bell hooks’ engaged pedagogy to illuminate the process of co-designing a program for transition beyond secondary school. Engaged pedagogy is a critical pedagogy that combines critical consciousness and radical wholeness and seeks to foster a learning community. The 10-week YPAR included six staff collaborators (SCs) and five youth collaborators (…
“Everybody’s talking about doing co-design, but to really truly genuinely authentically do it […] it’s bloody hard”
Guided by the work of bell hooks, this study uses her concept of ‘radical openness’ as an innovation for multi-party facilitation teams negotiating different roles, positionalities and understandings of youth participatory action research (YPAR). We explore the challenges we negotiated as facilitators in YPAR as they materialised in weekly reflections. We write as a team of two project leaders, three researchers and a project manager. Data compri…
Changes over 15 years in lone parenting of Irish persons with intellectual disability
People with intellectual disability mostly require life-long care that in many countries is provided by parents. The increased risk of marital breakdown in these families has been a focus of attention but the research evidence is contradictory. This study overcomes the methodological shortcomings of past research by using national samples of lone parent carers and making comparisons with lone parenting in the general population based on four nati…
Betwixt and Between
Much has been written about the history of the Queensland Native Mounted Police, mostly focussing on its development, its white officers, how much the Colonial Government genuinely knew about the actions of the Force, and how many people were killed during the frontier wars. Far less attention has been given to the Aboriginal men of the force, the nature of their recruitment, and the long-term traumatic impacts on Aboriginal peoples’ and communit…
Legal Overview
Common rules on most aspects of the asylum process are in force in the European Union (EU), building on the international refugee protection regime. This so-called EU asylum acquis has resulted in a “Common European Asylum System (CEAS)”. The CEAS consists of rules to determine which Member State is responsible for determining an asylum claim; to define asylum seekers’ entitlements and obligations as regards their reception in Member States; to r…
A case-study of policy change in residential service provision for adult persons with intellectual disability in Ireland
In Europe, many people with intellectual disabilities continue to live in congregated settings. In 2012, Ireland formally introduced a resettlement policy with people moving to live in more personalised arrangements. This longitudinal country case-study aimed to monitor the implementation of this policy and the intra-country variations that arose using the records maintained in the National Intellectual Disability Database. Details of over 4,000 …
A National Comparative Study over One Decade of Children with Intellectual Disabilities Living Away from Their Natural Parents
Children with intellectual disabilities are more likely than non-disabled children to live away from their families. Internationally, the aspiration is for them to live at home or in alternative family placements. This study uses national data on over 700 children from the Republic of Ireland to monitor their living arrangements over a ten-year period. In that time, the numbers of children in care had fallen significantly and especially for those…
The Supervision of Immigration and Asylum Appeals in the UK - Taking Stock
This article examines the ways in which the decisions of immigration and asylum tribunals in the UK can be challenged. It argues that recent legislative reforms continue a trend of restriction that threatens to undermine the fair and effective procedures that are essential if the individual rights contained in instruments like the Refugee Convention are to continue to have practical effects. The sort of challenge under consideration, known as ‘on…
Human Rights in the Scottish Courts
This article looks at the use made of the human rights legislation in the Scottish courts since the devolution of legislative and executive power to Scotland, based on research undertaken in all the ordinary courts, but excluding tribunals. It concludes that the incorporation of the Convention via the human rights legislation has had significant effects within the Scottish court system and on policy development without amounting to a major upheav…
