Capital, capabilities and culture: a human development approach to student and school transformation
This book applies the capability approach as an evaluative lens through which to explore the range of capabilities that emerged over a three-year period, through the Trinity Access 21 - College for Every Student (TA21-CFES) higher education access project in four schools. Qualitative analysis is presented from a longitudinal study of four schools over a three-year period, drawing on data from four student focus groups involving 21 student participants and 14 individual student interviews. An additional sixteen school personnel contributed in interviews. There are three main findings: first, specific student capabilities emerge because of their engagement in the TA21-CFES core practices of Leadership, Mentoring and Pathways to College. These are: autonomy, practical reason/college knowledge, identity, social relations and networks and hope. Second, students encounter a range of inhibiting social conversion factors in developing capabilities and persisting with higher education aspirations. These are: the negative pull of peer relations; pressure related to the Junior Certificate; limited subject choice and conflicting family expectations. Third, it is the combination of their own emerging capability set along with a network of trusted relationships with others that enables them to overcome potentially corrosive disadvantage and translate their experiences into fertile functionings. It is proposed that these findings have national and international relevance for widening participation interventions. The research makes a methodological contribution as it is the first use of qualitative longitudinal research (QLR) in Ireland within a 'lived' project aimed at working-class students over a three-year period. It contributes empirically as it provides new knowledge about the impact of interventions aimed at developing students' capability set and how these might help them to develop navigational capital and post-secondary educational aspirations. It also makes a conceptual contribution to how we frame the design and evaluation of impact of widening participation initiatives, as it takes a capability approach to considering how students develop higher education aspirations over time, towards what they consider 'a life of value'. It is useful to researchers, practitioners and policy makers who are interested in taking an evidence-based approach to developing higher education access programmes.

Reconstructive Memory Work

Clíona Hensey

LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY PRESS

nidottu
Ebook available to libraries exclusively as part of the JSTOR Path to Open initiative. Among the many communities of memory associated with the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962), the group perhaps most evocative of the complexity of this conflict and its aftermath are the harkis: Algerian men who served as auxiliary soldiers in the French army. Demobilized following Algerian independence, many of those who succeeded in reaching France found themselves and their families housed in ‘transit’ camps for several years. Presenting readings that consider works by prominent authors as well as self-published narratives in their specific generational, gendered and (post)colonial contexts, this book argues that writing by daughters and granddaughters of harkis challenges the notion that this community is locked in a static or competitive logic of memory. Instead, second- and third-generation memory work by female descendants of harkis demands forms of imaginative projection and reconstruction which call into question often universalizing or individualist configurations of identity, trauma and testimony. Reconstructive Memory Work demonstrates how these texts probe the complexities of belonging, inheritance and reparation, allowing their authors and narrators to gain knowledge of painful pasts, while also bringing transgenerational silences and sedimented affect into the open. Focusing in particular on these works’ complex interweaving of memory and imagination, this study explores how diverse and dynamic forms of memory work test the boundaries of individual and collective experience, of past and present, and of unspeakability and the necessity of bearing witness, creating unprecedented dialogues across and between subjectivities, memories and temporalities.

This innovative book reassess the place of Maria Edgeworth within the Irish literary canon by illuminating the connections between her views on gender and her construction of Ireland, beginning in the revolutionary decade of the 1790s and ending in the aftermath of Catholic emancipation and parliamentary reform. O Gallchoir addresses the full scope of Edgeworth's writing, creating a context within which Edgeworth's Irish novels can be read alongside tales and novels set in England and France: undervalued texts are recovered and better-known ones are shown in a new light. Edgeworth's commitment to the values of the Enlightenment is explored in the context of her indebtedness to the work of French women writers and her sophisticated awareness of the precarious position of the woman writer in society.
