Fathers and intergenerational transmission in social context
in Ethics and Education
| Description | The study produced new substantive understandings of changes in fatherhood including those families who have experienced migration and new findings on children's perspectives on fatherhood. Theoretically, the study developed understandings of processes of intergenerational transmission in families particularly in relation to men and the ways in which migration complicates intergenerational transmission. Methodologically, the study contributed to capacity building in relation to the application of narrative interviews and narrative analysis in intergenerational family studies; how to recruit and sample diverse intergenerational families; in its use of photo elicitation as a supplementary method in helping fathers and sons to reflect upon fatherhood; and in developing a range of methods with sons in the third generation (5 to 17). The study is further developing research capacity through secondary analysis of the data set funded under NCRM's node Novella (Narratives of varied everyday lives and linked approaches). The study has in addition led to significant new research; the data and a follow up study will form part of a Norwegian study funded by the Norwegian Research Council. |
| Exploitation Route | The data have been archived and have already been used by a new team of researchers. Requests for further data reuse have already been forthcoming. The data are likely to become of further historical interest as they age. The informants were born between 1906 and the 2000s. |
