Download or read book The Supportive Network written by G. Clare Wenger and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-11-07 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much previous research on elderly people had focused on their problems, and had created an impression of a group of isolated individuals suffering from almost insurmountable social difficulties. Originally published in 1984, this study of the everyday lives of elderly people, and the sources of help and care available to them in the community at the time, made a special contribution by showing how they can and do make creative adaptations to the challenge of age, and by increasing our understanding of their informal networks of support. The author looks not only at the role and availability of family, but also of friends, neighbours, voluntary associations and statutory services and the composite networks of support which these contacts form, noting differences related to gender, class and household composition. The detailed picture that she presents would be invaluable to those teachers, students and practitioners of social work concerned with the development of more community-based patterns of social work, as recommended by the Barclay Report, and to policy makers who needed to understand how sometimes strained natural support systems may be reinforced and maintained. The book also extends our knowledge of the normal lives of elderly people and will be of general interest to social gerontologists and network theorists in sociology and anthropology.

Download or read book New Geographies of Language written by Rhys Jones and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a novel approach to the study of language, bringing it into dialogue with the latest geographical concepts and concerns and provides a comprehensive account of the geography of Welsh language analysing policy development, language use, ability and shift. The authors examine in particular: the different ways in which languages can be mapped; how geographical insights can be used to develop understandings of language use; the value of assemblage theory as a way of interpreting the social, technical and spatial aspects of language policy development; and the geographies that characterise institutional engagements with languages. This book will set a research agenda for the geographical study of language, developing a conceptual framework that will offer fresh insights to researchers in the fields of Applied Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Minority Languages, Geolinguistics, and Public Policy.

Download or read book Welshness Performed written by Carol Trosset and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wales is a region of Great Britain comprising about 8,000 square miles of land and two and a half million people--a nation without a state, but one consisting of persons distinctively Welsh. There are many ways of acting and thinking to be found in Wales, but only some of these are considered by Welsh people to be relevant to their ethnic identity.Carol Trosset lived for two years as a Welsh speaker, and she draws on this experience of cultural immersion in her discussion of "what it is to be Welsh." In Welshness Performed, she shows how people acquire a sense of identity--both as individuals and as members of society--and presents a notion of "Welshness" sufficiently widespread to influence thinking about the society and the individual's place in it.

Download or read book Gender and Social Justice in Wales written by Nickie Charles and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses how policies developed by the National Assembly for Wales are affecting gender inequalities and investigates whether they are having an impact on social justice for women in Wales. In 1999 the first elections to devolved governments took place in Scotland and Wales. In Wales this resulted in 40 per cent of Assembly Members being women. In 2003 this proportion increased to 50 per cent which makes the National Assembly for Wales ‘the first legislative body with equal numbers of men and women in the world’ (“The Guardian”, 3/5/03). This new gender balance of political representatives is a significant change in the gendering of political institutions and this, together with the creation of a new tier of government, has the potential to create new opportunities for the development of social policies which address gender and other social inequalities. Focusing on distinct policy domains, this book explores gender politics in a devolved Wales. Each chapter investigates a particular aspect of social policy, exploring the way it has developed since devolution and the extent to which considerations of gender and social justice for women are central to this development. The empirical chapters which form the core of the book are situated theoretically and politically by the first chapter which discusses how gender and social justice can be theorised and explores devolution and its relation to gender politics in Wales.
