Project design and rationale
Project - Stepfamily Dynamics - Narratives of Mothers
I am looking for people to take part in my doctorate research on stepfamily dynamics through the narratives of stepfamily mothers. The people I am looking for have children who are over 18 and who have lived in a stepfamily for over 10 years.
Being part of this process will mean being interviewed by me and is likely to involve you in learning and understanding more about your own stepfamily and mothering experience.
The interviews will aim to help me understand what you experience was. I will be interested in how you felt, the conflicts and good things, how you see and feel about yourself now and changes over time. I want to hear you story in your own words. The final outcome will be a book written by me and a paper describing the research process. Yor contribution will be confidential with personal details including names disguised. The outcome will be a book written by me and a paper describing the process of research. You will be consulted at every stage about material that you contribute and how it is used.
If you are interested, I would like to meet you first and discuss this further. Please get in touch with me via email on Claire Bartram.
Please forward this to anyone that you think may be interested.
