How to be a woman. Models of masochism and sacrifice in young adult fiction
No full textBuffy, Bella, Veronica, Katniss, Clary, Tris and Saba : For two decades post-feminist heroines have faced life-threatening trials as part of their progress to womanhood. In this chapter I consider how young adult popular fictions operate as forms of pedagogy for young women by offering them particular models of maturity and womanhood. I explore the recurrence and reformulation of a persistent pattern of behaviour in which heroines engage in risky and/or masochistic behaviours for which they are emotionally rewarded.. These recurrences function as a form of vicarious experiential learning in which readers and viewers learn that emotional gratification and adult status are conferred through self-harm and self-sacrifice. Popular culture is not a monolithic form and young adult fictions are no exception. An analysis of fictional examples of this behaviour pattern challenges the idea that heroines today are empowered agents as a result of the legacy of feminism. At the same time, the analysis belies any notion that fictions are universally hegemonic and oppressive – fictions can and do disrupt and interrogate this pattern of emotional masochism. Scholars of public pedagogy have explored the complexities, contradictions and subtleties of the pedagogical process. Sandlin O’Malley and Burdick (2011) in their review of public pedagogy literature acknowledge that some scholarship has demonstrated how “the teaching and learning inherent within daily life can be both oppressive and resistant” (p. 144). Jubas and Knutson (2012) also see public pedagogy as an arena where contradictions and tensions are in play. They argue that we can see “New examples of dialectic or tensions … between the authority of the producer and the consumer; between traditional structures which ground identities and help people make sense of cultural texts, and personal agency which frees people to choose and invent identities and meanings” (p. 86). This analysis aims to contribute to understandings of the complexities of public pedagogy by showing how fictions aimed primarily at young women both resist and accommodate patriarchy
A lifeline for Europe's young radical innovators
Get PDFIn this Policy Brief, Reinhilde Veugelers shows that Young Innovative Companies (YICs) in Europe achieve significantly higher innovative sales than other innovation-active firms, representing 36% of sales having market novelties. She also confirms that YICs are more affected by credit constraints than other innovation-active firms. If Europe is to exit the current crisis intact and fulfill its full growth potential in the medium term, the author therefore believes Europe must develop policies and incentives which are tailored to the needs of European young radical innovators.
When things fall apart: Separation and divorce among adolescents and young couples in Ethiopia
Get PDFWhile there is rightly a major focus on child marriage, we know very little about separation and divorce among young couples, either in Ethiopia or elsewhere. How do they negotiate their relationships? What contributes to relationship breakdown? What access do they have to support and services? And what happens after they separate?
This working paper uses qualitative evidence from the Young Lives study to answer some of these questions. It is based on interviews with 59 young people from two rural and two urban locations. It examines the impacts of poverty, age, gender and location, and reflects on the implications for policy and programming. This working paper and the accompanying policy brief are part of a set of eight working papers and eight policy briefs on gendered transitions into young adulthood in Ethiopia to be published in coming weeks
Helping unemployed young people to find private sector work
No full textWhat challenges do unemployed young people face when trying to get private-sector jobs?
With the amount of young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) currently a significant concern to policy-makers, this study looks at the experiences of two young people entering work in private-sector companies.
It also considers whether employers, policy-makers and training-providers could do more to help
No longer children: What do Young Lives children do when they grow up?
Get PDFNo longer children: What do Young Lives children do when they grow up? is a Young Lives research report, synthesising research from the past two survey rounds (in 2013 and 2016) to reflect on how the experience of poverty early in life affects future opportunities, documenting children and young people's trajectories from school into post-secondary education and the labour market, and investigating their chances to access productive jobs
Computational Storage: Where Are We Today?
No full textComputational Storage Devices (CSDs), which are storage devices including general-purpose, special-purpose, and/or reconfigurable processing units, are now becoming commercially available from different vendors. CSDs are capable of running software that usually runs on the host CPU - but on the storage device, where the data reside. Thus, a server with one or more CSDs may improve the overall performance and energy consumption of software dealing with a large amount of data. With the aim of fostering CSD's research and adoption, this position paper argues that commercially available CSDs are still missing a wealth of functionalities that should be carefully considered for their widespread deployment in production data centers. De facto, existing CSDs ignore (heterogeneous) resource management issues, do not fully consider security nor multi-user, nor data consistency, nor usability. Herein, we discuss some of the open research questions, and to what degree several well-known programming models may help solving them - considering also the design of the hardware and software interfaces.N
Playing it safe? a study of the regulation of outdoor play for children and young people in residential care
No full textThe aim of the research was to describe and explain the barriers to, and opportunities for, outdoor play and recreation that exist in residential child care services. The research focussed on six residential facilities which represented a cross-section of the sector. Interviews were conducted with two young people, one manager and two basic grade staff members from each of the facilities. The findings were analysed using data display and reduction and the following key findings emerged
Do Education and Health Conditions Matter in a Large Cash Transfer? Evidence from a Honduran Experiment
Get PDFYoung Lives is a longitudinal research project investigating the changing nature of childhood poverty. The study is tracking the development of 12,000 children in Ethiopia, Peru, India (Andhra Pradesh) and Vietnam through qualitative and quantitative research over a 15-year period. Since 2002, the study has been following two cohorts in each study country. The younger cohort consists of 2,000 children per study country aged between 6 and 18 months in 2002. The older cohort consists of 1,000 children per country aged between 7.5 and 8.5 in 2002. The key objectives of Young Lives are: (i) to improve the understanding of causes and consequences of childhood poverty, (ii) to examine how policies affect children's well-being and (iii) to inform the development and implementation of future policies and practices that will reduce childhood poverty. In Peru the Young Lives team used multi-stage, cluster-stratified, random sampling to select the two cohorts of children. This methodology, unlike the one applied in the other Young Lives countries, randomised households within a site as well as sentinel site locations. To ensure the sustainability of the study, and for resurveying purposes, a number of well-defined sites were chosen. These were selected with a pro-poor bias, ensuring that randomly selected clusters of equal population excluded districts located in the top five per cent of the poverty map developed in 2000 by the Fondo Nacional de Cooperacion para el Desarrollo (FONCODES, the National Fund for Development and Social Compensation). This paper assesses the sampling methodology by comparing the Young Lives sample with larger, nationally representative samples. The Peru team sought to: analyse how the Young Lives children and households compare with other children in Peru in terms of their living standards and other characteristics, examine whether this may affect inferences between the data, establish to what extent the Young Lives sample is a relatively poorer or richer sub-population in Peru, determine whether different levels of living standards are represented within the dataset. The report used two nationally representative comparison samples: the Living Standard Measurement Survey 2001 (ENAHO 2001) and the Demographic and Health Survey 2000 (DHS 2000). The document used two different methodologies to assess the Young Lives sample. The report first compared poverty rates calculated for Young Lives and the ENAHO 2001, then compared wealth index scores for the Young Lives households with those for DHS 2000 households. This provided a graphical illustration of the relative wealth of the Young Lives sample relative to the population of Peru. The researcher went on to use standard t-tests to test for statistical significance of the differences in several living standard indicators between Young Lives, the DHS 2000, and the ENAHO 2001 samples. Finally, the authors investigated potential biases in the Young Lives and DHS 2000 samples by comparing these with the Census 2005. The document compared variables that are common in the Census 2005, the DHS 2000, and Young Lives – area of residence, access to electricity and access to drinking water. In order to ensure comparability of the different samples we imposed constraints on the comparison samples to accommodate the fact that the Young Lives sample only includes households with at least one
child aged between 6 and 18 months. The researchers found that the poverty rates of the Young Lives sample are similar to the urban and rural averages derived from the ENAHO 2001. Households in the Young Lives sample were found to be slightly wealthier than households in the DHS 2000 sample. A similar picture emerged when we use unweighted t-tests to compare the means for a range of living standard indicators between the Young Lives and the DHS 2000 samples. Young Lives households own more private assets and have better access to public services such as drinking water and electricity supply. Similarly, members of households in the Young Lives sample are better educated and have better access to vaccinations and prenatal care than DHS 2000 households. To establish the existence of biases in the Young Lives and the DHS 2000 samples we compared both with data from the Census 2005. It was evident that the Young Lives sample includes households with better access to electricity and drinking water than the Census 2005
