Knowing your Place
Female ethnographers often appear to be more aware of their sexual status and its impact on fieldwork and relationships than their male colleagues (Okely 1992: 19, Coffey 1999: 79). Similarly, the behaviour of female fieldworkers is often more closely scrutinised than that of male fieldworkers (Mascarenhas-Keyes 1987: 187), and many female ethnographers' accounts detail gender-specific issues and challenges that arose during their research (e.g. …
Getting Out and Getting On
This paper draws on data collected for the author's doctoral thesis (Maclean, 1997), which examined migration and social change in remote rural areas. The research took place mainly in 1995–6, and consisted of tape-recorded interviews and 18 months' ethnographic fieldwork in a parish in the Scottish Highlands, and the use of data including the Census Small Area Statistics and Register of Sasines. Although informed by the research as a whole, the …
My dad hangs out of helicopter doors and takes pictures of oil platforms
Against the backdrop of the acceleration in pace of work and family life over the last decade, and the accompanying intensification of the work-family debate, this paper argues for the need to include children as stakeholders in the work-family debate. The ethnographic study on which this paper is based brings together children, family, work and community to explore interrelationships between workplace change, parental employment and family life …
Family Friendly' Policies and Practices in the Oil and Gas Industry
The paper explores whether key oil and gas companies are expressing awareness of the work–family debate and reports findings from an ongoing three-year study, funded by the ESRC, which provides an account of the work-family interface in relation to the oil and gas industry. Although this paper is informed by our research as a whole, it draws on a specific subset of our data, namely in-depth interviews with human resource personnel in eighteen oil…
The theory and practice of equal opportunities in Scotland
Education and equality, as has been seen in earlier issues of Scottish Affairs, arc currently areas of interest and concern in Scotland (Maclnally (1993); Brown (1993); Macintosh (1993)). In fact, they are of course areas that have long been of interest and concern. In this article I will take a look at 'equality of opportunity' over time in Scotland, arguing that there has been a shift from a traditional concept that was more or less exclusively…
Traditional Healers and Their Female Clients
The behavior and attitudes of Yoruba women in relation to pregnancy and childrearing are described and attention is drawn to their continued patronage of traditional practitioners in their search for magico-medical means of ensuring conception. Sick infants are increasingly being taken to hospital, most mothers having become convinced of the value of modern medicine for acute illness. Educated women are tending to discard local treatments entirel…
Hospitals or Healers? An Attitude Survey in Ibadan
Over the past twenty years the developing territories of Africa have experienced an enormous expansion in modern medical facilities. Everywhere the response to the establishment of new hospitals and treatment centres has been overwhelming on the part of patients who are apparently prepared to wait for hours in the hope of cure. Medical personnel have been understandably preoccupied with the problems which the sheer numbers of patients present and…
