Post-traumatic growth following the death of a parent from homicide
Although there is considerable research into the impact of homicide on surviving family members, research is limited on subjective experiences of those who lost a parent due to homicide during childhood. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis, we conducted and analyzed in-depth semi-structured interviews, to explore lived experiences and perspectives of post-traumatic growth with adults who lost a parent due to homicide as a child. We d…

It examines the responses of Zulu boys and girls to the introduction of a new curriculum that integrated language and literary study in a rural school in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Specifically, it shows how reading can lead to a more complex and critical notion of how gender portends differential access to power
