Welstead, Mary. "Proprietary estoppel and the family home." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 1988. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/270449.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation poses the question whether the doctrine of Proprietary estoppel can provide the basis for recognising a range of rights in relation to the family home. This question also necessitates a consideration of the doctrine of constructive trusts and the acquistiton of rights under the Limitation Acts. The dissertation proceeds to consider whether the nature of the relationship between parties to a dispute concerning the family home constitutes a heavily determining factor in the outcome of that dispute. It will emerge that in practice the doctrine of propietory estoppel operates differently in respect of each of three broad categories of licence relationships:- i) Licence granted by resident family member. In this first category both parties are members of the same household who jointly occupy the property as their family home. In this context the term 'family' is used in a very broad sense. It includes not only relationships of blood and afinity but also all those relationships where there is interdependence and a common concern by the participants for each other's welfare. The shared values of the participants in these relationships and the meaning they attach to each other's conduct may well be similar to those shared values and meanings which exist between members of the family in its stricter legal sense. The concept of 'family' is as much a functional notion as a decscriptive term. This broader concept of the family is more akin to the term 'household'. ii) Licence granted by non-resident family member In the second category the licensor and licensee are members of the same family but do not share the same house. iii)Licence granted by a stranger In the third category the licensee and his family have been granted occupation rights by someone who is not a member of their family. Since the decision of the House of Lords in Gissing v Gissing it has generally been accepted that the elements necessary to found an implied trust (whether resulting or constructive) of the family home are limited in scope. The longstanding equitable doctrine of propietory estoppel has therefore been revitalised, in an attempt to fill the gap left by the decision in Gissing. The theory of Proprietary estoppel aims to avert the unconscionable outcome which would otherwise result where one party has been encouraged by the holder of a legal title to alter his position to his detriment in the expectation of some entitlement in the property concerned. This dissertation contains an analysis of the case law of England, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, for the purpose of considering which forms of unconscionable conduct in the familial context are sufficient to give rise to the equity of Proprietary estoppel. These jurisdictions have been selected because in each, Proprietary estoppel has been used as a means of protecting rights in the family home. Each of the selected jurisdictions has recognised the limitations of the doctrine of constructive trusts in achieving that end. Canadian case law is also analysed to illuminate the relationship between the doctrine of Proprietary estoppel and the doctrine of constructive trusts. It is noticeable that the Canadian courts have effectively ceased to use the doctrine of Proprietary estoppel in the family home context, having replaced the doctrine by a creative use of the constructive trust.

Full textAbstract:
Efforts to keep children in their own homes when they are found to be at risk within the meaning of child protection legislation have resulted in the creation of family preservation programs. Typically, these services are crisis-oriented. Short-term, intensive work with families is offered with a goal of maintaining the child in his or her own home. A family support program which provides these services in the anglophone community of Montreal was examined.The data for this qualitative study were obtained through indepth interviews with the program staff and through an examination of agency files. The findings suggest that service is limited to those families who are assessed to be motivated--that is compliant with the objectives of the program and accepting of the intensive nature of the service. The interventions focus on individual parenting, most often the mother's parenting. For the workers, the dual role of support and scrutiny is managed within a relationship of trust.
The findings further indicate that families who are experiencing severe problems, often related to alcoholism, family violence and extreme poverty are not served by this program.

Whyte, Roxane O. "Fathers' Religious and Family involvement At Home; and Work and Family Outcomes." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2005. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/5211.
Full textAbstract:
This study proposes and confirms two new predictors of work and family outcomes, thus far unexplored in existing work-family literature: fathers' religious involvement at home and fathers' family involvement at home. It is the first study to date to document that these produce a crossover effect to positively influence work-related outcomes including work-family conflict, work-family fit and job satisfaction. Data come from employed married fathers and their spouses participating in the 2001 BYU Marriott School of Management Alumni Work and Family Survey (n = 210), all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). Findings are that fathers who were more religiously involved at home and their spouses reported greater marital satisfaction than fathers and their spouses who were less involved. Fathers who were highly involved with their families at home reported less work-family conflict, greater work-family fit, and greater marital satisfaction and spouse's marital satisfaction, than fathers who were less involved. Interactions showed that when fathers exhibit the combination of high religious and high family involvement, the religious involvement acts as a catalyst to generate greater levels of marital satisfaction and spouse's marital satisfaction. Finally, the study revealed a significantly positive relationship exists between marital satisfaction and job satisfaction. Results suggest that the father who engages in both high religious involvement and high family involvement at home may receive the benefits, or from a religious perspective, the "blessings," of enhanced marital satisfaction, and therefore, job satisfaction as a result of his fulfillment of sacred obligation to God. And, implications of the study suggest employing organizations may garner immense savings in terms of turnover costs due to the increase in job satisfaction among its employed fathers. Thus, data such as these suggest that flexible work arrangements, which may facilitate greater investment by the father in religious and family involvement at home, may create a dynamic system enabling enhanced family processes and, therefore, the strengthening of families, society and the economy.

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on explaining the determinants of home value for a given region of Oakland, California. With a history of high crime and low performing public schools, Oakland’s housing market has not achieved the same measurable success as neighboring cities like Berkeley and San Francisco. Through the use of time series regressions of panel data; rate of crime, school test scores, and distance to public transportation are examined in order to determine their singular and joint effects on single-family home values from 2008 to 2013. Trends in neighborhood characteristics indicate an ongoing change in neighborhood demographics, while regression results show each variables impact on price.

Full textAbstract:
The District of Columbia's Child and Family Services Agency introduced me to the family of two documented here. Photojournalism and audio clips depict the growing bond between a mother and adopted daughter, with unshared pasts to foster a new feeling of home. They have been together for just over a year. At the Adoptions Together Family Connections Conference (Maryland, Fall 2013), this photographic experience will be replicated for other adoptive families. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources: Administration for Children and Families, show that a child not adopted by the age of eight or nine reduces the chance of being adopted by half. A prevailing misconception of youth having difficulty bonding to new families is being disproven by research. Neuroplasticity suggests the brain is not a static organ. Later child adoption works more than generally recognized. This presentation shows success in the first person.

Reiman, Benjamin Adolph. "Trans-situtational interventions : generalization of behaviour support across group home and family home settings." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/46383.
Full textAbstract:
A number of studies have shown that adults living in group homes spend less time with their families. One barrier to increasing time spent with families may be that a large proportion of adults living in group homes display elevated levels of problem behaviour. Furthermore, group home staff and families may not have sufficient training to prevent problem behaviour in group home or family home settings. This study evaluates an approach that synthesizes three promising practices in the field of developmental disabilities: person-centred planning, trans-situational positive behaviour support (PBS), and the activity setting as a unit of analysis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of this approach to the generalized reduction of problem behaviour for an adult with autism from a group home setting to a family home setting. One adult with autism and problem behaviour, the group home staff who supported him, and his parents participated in the study. Two settings were identified for trans-situational intervention: a group home post-dinner routine; and a family home pre-dinner routine. In collaboration with group home staff a functional assessment-based, multi-component trans-situational PBS plan (TSI) was designed for the group home routine. In addition a brief trans-situational PBS plan (tsi) for the family home was generated. A preliminary cultural fit evaluation by primary staff indicated that the plan was a good fit with group home ecology. Completion of baseline and intervention phases will occur by June 2014. Preliminary results are discussed in terms of relation to the literature, implications, cautions and limitations, and directions for future research.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this bachelor's project was to find a typology for an apartment house in Dharavi in Mumbai, India. Dharavi is extremely congested and living space is scarce so the goal was to come up with good solutions for very small apartments that wouldn't be so costly and that each could be shared by a family. How could one make most of a very limited and shared living space? The family is a very important structure in the Dharavian sociaty and it seems like people rarely live alone or have their own space. The question whether individual space is important arose but is not answered in this project. However a home with a certain flexibility might be helpful if there's need to divide living space and change the home according to several people's wishes and needs. The idea of people's need of more spaces to the home than one single room was interesting during the project, as was the thought of taking advantage of the warm climate and not seal the home completely off from outdoors. Important aspects of the project, except creating apartments that didn't have a big footprint, was to create homes that improved living conditions. These homes would need to be well ventilated and have sufficient light sources, among other qualities. The central part of the typology came to be, literally, a small courtyard to provide these mentioned qualities.

Hayward, Andrew Peter. "Judicial discretion in ownership disputes over the family home." Thesis, Durham University, 2013. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/8489/.
Full textAbstract:
The core focus of this thesis is on the exercise of judicial discretion in the resolution of ownership disputes over the family home. Drawing upon the academic scholarship on judicial discretion, this thesis evaluates how the exercise of discretion has been conceptualised and employed within this specific context. Focusing on both the exercise of judicial discretion in matrimonial property disputes prior to the House of Lords’ decision in Pettitt v Pettitt in 1969 and in the modern implied trust framework, it questions whether there is evidence of judges arrogating enhanced discretion to themselves and whether this is deployed in order to take account of ‘changing social and economic circumstances’ surrounding the ownership of family property. Having identified an increased visibility of discretion in modern family property cases, this thesis questions whether a greater use of discretion within the context of domestic property evidences a departure from traditional property law reasoning and represents a problematic development in the law requiring a return to orthodoxy. This thesis provides a more nuanced understanding as to the exercise of discretion within this context. The claim advanced by this thesis is that judges in this specific context have increased their use of discretion to enable greater sensitivity to the domestic context and, whilst this may appear a controversial move to some, it is a beneficial, principled and structured modification of the property law framework applicable in this area.

Full textAbstract:
It is becoming a problem that the number of people who have loneliness by a physical distance between family members has lately kept increasing. Home is not only about space, but also about where an individual makes memories, feels secured with its familiarity and feels comfortable with his or her family member(s). Individuals, who live alone and feel lonely, have not been getting these senses. The available ways of connection between remote family members are not enough. The aim of the research is to understand the current condition of the connection between remote family members to map pain points. The purpose is to develop a product that can decrease a sense of loneliness and increase positive emotions through an experience which makes a lonely individual feel a little bit more connected to a long-distance family in everyday life. Based on the in-depth interviews, eight insights and two kinds of stakeholders, whom the connection should be made between, was revealed. Over forty ideas were created to solve the problem of loneliness based on the defined insights and stakeholders, and the ideas were narrowed down on the criteria of to what extent the idea can satisfy the revealed insights and to what extent the connection created by each idea can last easily between the two stakeholders. The resulting product called One Home Lamp can provide an emotionally warmer experience to a target user than other similar products do with four main features: 1) a connection which lasts in everyday life in a way that everyone can keep in touch with each other more easily, 2) a better sense of identity which belongs to each family by customization with colour and stickers, 3) a better sense of belongingness towards a family by seeing an imaginal house where you and your family live together, 4) a better sense of touch which is closer to human warmth with the material and soft texture used. The result is beneficial for modern societies in terms of the fact that it has a great possibility to reduce loneliness, increase positive emotions and improve well-being among lonely individuals which is one of the sustainable development goals to be achieved by 2030 advocated by the United Nations General Assembly.

Full textAbstract:
The current models that we use in systemic family therapy came out of office/clinic-based practice. To date, there is no model specifically orientated to systemic family therapy in the home. As a systemic family therapist, I argue that non-traditional approaches may need to be considered; and that systemic family therapy models should come closer to reflecting discourses that have shades of global influences. My interest in the area emerged from a position of ignorance – making assumptions that the tools used in the clinic could easily be colonised into a family’s home – but I found that the models often used in the clinic do not necessarily transfer easily into the home. an adaptation of a systematic review was conducted that undermined the notion that therapists are ‘knowing’ with particular skill and competency to work in the home. I ask the question: How do I improve upon my systemic family therapy practice to work in families’ homes? African oral traditional ideas (AOTI) are broadly explored to consider the notion of self and bodily feelings as a source of knowledge. Through the use of AOTI I created an approach known as Seselelame, foregrounding a new practice stemming from ideas that are not home grown within the systemic family therapy perspectives, to support my practice within the home. the inquiry offers the following contribution of new knowledge to family systemic therapy: conceptualization of a method (Seselelame) that incorporates the idea of self in the context of awareness of feelings in the body; a method that incorporates African oral traditional ideas and thus expanded the traditional Western view of family/systemic therapy; contextualization of the significance of home as a source of knowledge; the Seselelame model was used as an analytical tool alongside a systemic constructionist analytical model to compare and contrast the data produced. The findings conclude that the inquiry has implications for the practice and teaching of systemic family therapy, which will eventually be published once the thesis is completed.

Full textAbstract:
Many studies focus on the housing decisions of younger generation mainly on the households’ individual level such as affordability, house prices, income, interest rate and the relative costs of owning. However, the family financing is also another indispensable factor to affect the decision of home-owning. The home buyers save for several years to accumulate the down payment, but it will be nibbled up by the rising of home prices. Such rapid increases in house prices will make home-owning more difficult for home buyers, especially for first-time buyers. They may seek a loan from a family member to use as part of the down payment in order to achieve homeownership.
Forrest and Murie (1995) noted that family support in home owning may take an important contribution in home-ownership sphere. Moreover, many scholars pointed out that family financing is particularly important where housing prices are high, financial institutions are unwilling to provide mortgage loans or requiring high-ratio of down payment and government subsidies are not available. (Barrios, Colom and Moles, 2013; Engelhardt, 1996; Engelhardt and Mayer, 1994; Forrest and Murie, 1995; Meen, 2013; Mulder and Wanger, 1998; Ost, 2012). In Hong Kong case, parents give a finance support to their children for paying the down payment can be easily found in mass media. More significantly, the number of cases for parents getting direct involvement in helping children for home owning are largely increasing. Looking at the house price was increased 15% in average annually during the period of 2010-2012. Many parents have expectations that the house price will keep rising. If you do not buy it now, then you may not possible to afford this very soon.
In this paper, we will explore how importance the family support for home-owning, the kind of financing modes are adopted for the parent and the reasons for the parent to provide financing support in helping their children’s homeownership.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
It is believed that home ownership has a positive connection with family formation and child bearing as there is a speed up process of attaining home-ownership when the couples are in anticipation of starting family and having children. However, home ownership in relation with family formation and child bearing are not always in positive connection as other factors are necessary to be taken into consideration when associating relationship between them, such as (i) postponement of marriage and child bearing, (ii) family background, (iii) housing markets and financial systems, and (iv) government policies which will be investigated internationally in this research and tested the hypothesis in Hong Kong.
With the family budget constraints, cost competition between housing and marriage or child bearing is one of the significant factors affecting the couples’ decision in home purchasing. Our empirical results from the questionnaire survey demonstrated that home ownership is perceived as a precondition to marriage and child bearing and indicated that the cost competition between becoming home owners and becoming parents was strong. Postponement of marriage and child bearing are found over the past decade and decrease in number of children that the respondents wanted to have are the current trend. Our empirical results also show that family background is an important factor affects decision of the couples in home purchasing when getting married and in anticipation of having children. Facing a budget constraint, most of the young couples depend on their parents who are in owner-occupied housing tenure for financial assistance to succeed their home purchasing dreams.
Nowadays, Hong Kong residential property value has also increased sharply in recent years and costs of housing with increasing mortgage rate would affect decision of the young couples in home purchase, a series of measures are therefore launched by the government to solve the problems of housing since its inauguration aiming at increasing private and subsidized housing flats as well as land for affordable housing development to cool down the overheating property market. People’s home purchase is greatly affected by the prevailing housing policy found in the survey and their recommendations to the government are to provide more HOS flats, stabilize the house price, increase in amenities and facilities provision in the suburb housing developments and resume Home Assistance Loan Scheme in order to satisfy their housing needs in forming families and planning to child bearing.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
The effect of frequency of nursing home contact on family perceptions of quality care is the focus of this research. A family member characteristic, such as geographic distance from the nursing home, affects his or her frequency of contact with the nursing home. Frequency of contact, in turn, affects family perceptions of the care his or her loved one receives in the nursing home. The theoretical framework for this study is based on Allport's intergroup contact theory, which posits that when four contact conditions - institutional support, equal status, common goals, and intergroup cooperation - are present in an intergroup situation, a reduction in anxiety between groups is likely to occur. Regression analysis tested the stated hypotheses using survey data collected from 275 family members of residents in 10 Dallas-Ft. Worth area nursing homes. This study is among the first to quantify family geographic distance, finding that family geographic distance is a significant negative predictor of nursing home contact. Additionally, results build on Allport's theory by extending its' usefulness to nursing home organizations in two distinct ways. First, findings support Allport's premise that contact alone between groups - i.e., family members and nursing home staff - is insufficient for increasing or decreasing family perceptions of nursing home care. Second, three of the four contact conditions included in Allport's theory were statistically supported by the data. In sum, findings of this research provide nursing homes with an empirically tested model for improving family perceptions of quality nursing home care.

Full textAbstract:
This evaluation examines a Community Intervention Program's goal of reducing out-of-home placements. The Community Intervention Program (CIP) is a home-based family preservation program that began servicing families in 1998. Out-of-Home placements are considered any placement for a child other than his/her natural home settings. Some examples of out-of-home placements include: foster homes, detention, hospitalization, group homes, residential treatment, wilderness camps and etc. This evaluation will include 14 families that were discharged from the Community Program of Atlanta, GA between the months of January-August, 2000. Out of the 14 families there are 21 children ranging between the ages of 5 and 17.
The purpose of this evaluation is to assess how successful the program is in meeting its intended goal of reducing out-of-home placements among the children they service. Successful placements are defined as those in which the children remained in the home 3 months post-discharge. Unsuccessful placements are defined as those in which the children were placed out of the home 3 months post-discharge. All of the families included in the study had children who have been placed out of the home at some point, and are experiencing difficulties functioning, or families who had children who were at high risk of being placed out of the home. The findings of this evaluation are expected to raise awareness in the field of social work on the importance of tracking the placement of discharged clients. Many studies show programs were successful in preventing out-of-home placements during treatment and at discharge, but there is little to no information on placement stability 3, 6, or 12 months post discharge. Implications of social work practice are discussed.

This dissertation argues that paranormal reality television is a form of what some
have referred to as “trauma television,” a site of struggle between meanings of family and
the violence often found in the hegemonic nuclear family ideal. Programs such as A
Haunting and Paranormal State articulate family violence and trauma through a
paranormal presence in the heteronormative family home, working to make strange and
unfamiliar the domestic and familial milieus in which their episodes take place. Although
ghosts, demons, and other entities stand in for violence and trauma taking place in the
family, the subgenre’s narratives continue to suggest an oppressive situation and leave
the hegemonic family ideal open to critique. Paranormal reality television draws on
narrative conventions associated with the paranormal family horror film of the 1970s and
early 1980s, particularly The Amityville Horror, The Shining, and Poltergeist, which also
articulated family trauma following increased attention to family violence during those
decades. Presenting forms of difference (race, sexuality, class, etc.) as threatening,
recuperative, or absent in relation to the heteronormative family and privileging the
“ghost hunter,” paranormal reality marks a powerful convergence of genres and modes,
marking it as a site for articulating violence and trauma in the family.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Interprofessional education (IPE) is recommended by many as a means by which to prepare clinicians for collaborative practice and a mechanism by which to improve the overall quality of health care. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of an interprofessional medicine-pharmacy student home visit experience on students’ self-assessments of skills and abilities related to team-based care and identification of medication-related problems. METHODS: Third-year medical and fourth-year pharmacy students completed an interprofessional home visit centered on identification of medication-related problems. Students were surveyed before and after the IPE assignment to assess changes in self-assessed skills and abilities. Survey items consisted of Likert-type statements on a 5-point scale (1=strongly disagree, 5=strongly agree) and free-text responses. Students also completed reflection papers regarding their experiences. RESULTS: Twenty-two medical and 20 pharmacy students conducted medication-focused interviews of 22 patients at home as interprofessional teams. Medical and pharmacy student self-assessments of skills and abilities related to team-based care and identification of medication-related problems improved after completion of the assignment. Both groups of students perceived an improvement in confidence regarding communication skills, both with patients and with other health professions students. Changes were reported on 12 survey items. Student feedback on the IPE experience was positive. CONCLUSIONS: Students’ self-perception of skills and abilities related to interprofessional team-based care and identification of medication-related problems are improved after IPE medication-focused home visit assignment. Student feedback supports the value of interprofessional patient care clinical experiences.

Full textAbstract:
This study addressed gaps in the literature on caregiver burden involving lack of information about the multiple strains of caregiving families, their coping patterns, and positive as well as negative aspects of caregiving. The primary objective was to examine the relationship among caregiving strains, patterns of coping responses employed, and the resulting objective and subjective burden. A model describing the relationship of these variables guided the study. The design was a mail survey of 97 caregivers living in Southwestern Virginia who were caring for a sick or disabled family member, age 60 or older (response rate=81%).
Family strain was correlated with both subjective and objective burden. Only one coping pattern that dealt with understanding the medical situation was marginally correlated with objective burden at p < .10. No coping patterns were correlated with subjective burden. Based on stepwise multiple regression analysis, the variables that were significant in explaining the variance in objective burden were health of the caregiver and family strain. The presence of home health services and family strain were significant in explaining the variance in subjective burden. Qualitative analysis identified major themes of positive and negative aspects of caregiving, with the majority of caregivers reporting both.
Implications of these findings for future research include the importance of examining family strain when studying caregiver burden, assessing problems with the conceptualization of coping, evaluating the effectiveness of different measures of coping patterns, and investigating the balance of costs and rewards related to caregiving. Implications for practice include the importance of health workers considering multiple sources of strain in the family. Caregivers need optimistic but realistic information about the situation. Staff members should promote the caregiver's confidence in the management of the medical situation. Governmental and service agencies need to assist caregivers in relieving problems with restrictions on time and activities, and provide an opportunity for the exchange of information about managing home care. Future researchers need to study the influence of home health services on caregiving by comparing the coping patterns and subjective and objective burden of caregivers who receive this service and those who do not.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
Road Going Home follows the life of four women of the same family: grandmother, granddaughter, her mother, and her aunt. Mother Karen leaves home at sixteen because she's pregnant, afraid of disappointing parents Ruth and Nelson. Her sister Lacy is just a child when she leaves. Karen has always wanted to leave home because her small town feels suffocating. At the opening of the novel, Karen has moved into a commune in central Virginia. Her father kidnaps granddaughter Dylan in hopes of bringing his family back together. However, the result is the family growing more apart from one another. Thematically, the novel seeks to answer what happens to families when they run away from one another. How do we come back together again? And how do we rebuild those close ties that we once lost?

Full textAbstract:
The study addressed immigrant families' and mainstream school systems' support for young children's home language learning in Basel, Switzerland. In Switzerland, as in many European countries and in Australia, early childhood educators work with growing numbers of children from immigrant, refugee and asylum seeking families. The culturally, linguistically and ethnically diverse groups of children that now characterise childcare centres, kindergartens and primary schools result from these patterns of immigration and present challenges for teachers and other educators who cater for the needs of increasingly diverse student populations. The literature on home languages acknowledges the importance of the relationship between a child's first language and development in the second language and the essential role of language proficiency in academic success. Despite knowledge from extensive studies on the interdependency of first and second language development (Cummins, 1979, 1981b, 1991, 2001) and evidence that continued development in a child's first language is crucial for overall cognitive development and transfer to second language learning (Collier, 1995), there is little focus on helping children maintain their home language in the early years of education. Arguably too, information and communication technologies (ICTs) lead to increased availability and opportunities for global communication, affecting the nature of communication, and creating possibilities for new forms of learning in the home and school. Children must therefore have the opportunity to become proficient users of these new and evolving forms of technology in order to acquire the skills, including language skills that they will need for future employment. In the light of this conceptual background, the present research focused on: (1) Immigrant parent beliefs and attitudes to home language use and how languages were used at home. (2) The strategies families used to promote home language learning in oral and written forms. (3) The extent to which ICTs were used as a tool to support home languages in the family and school environment. (4) The kinds of support offered in school and communities and what government policies and initiatives were afforded to home languages.
(5) The nature of school and community policies and practices on the promotion and maintenance on home languages. These issues were addressed through a qualitative interpretive research approach drawing on the traditions of phenomenography (Marton 1986) and Grounded Theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1990). The research was based on three main data sources: (1) analysis of policy and curriculum documents from school systems, (2) interviews with key education personnel and (3) interviews with ?immigrant? parents (n=58) from diverse socio-economic backgrounds living in Basel. Families were drawn from 16 countries including the former Yugoslavia, (Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia), Spain, South and Central America, and Turkey. All children, whose parents participated in the study, attended state run kindergartens and primary schools. A major focus in the data collection and analysis was on (a) parents' perspectives and experiences as they negotiated home language learning in the home, school and community and the extent to which they used ICTs to enrich home language development, and (b) mainstream teachers' perspectives on the role home languages played in linguistically and culturally diverse classrooms, as well as the role ICTs and media played in teaching children from immigrant families. The results of the study showed that: (a) immigrant children's home languages and culture as well as bilingualism and multilingualism are prominent features in Basel integration policy and curriculum documents but this focus is rarely translated to early childhood classroom practice, (b) classroom teachers focus predominantly on children learning their second language (German), (c) immigrant children's home language and culture is valued and respected but formal opportunities for children to learn to read and write in their home languages begin only when they have reached second grade, (d) there were a range of perspectives, reasons and strategies for maintaining and promoting home languages within families, (e) ICT was not an integral part of children's classroom experiences in kindergarten and scarcely integrated in primary classrooms, but was used in a variety of ways within homes to promote home language and communication, (f) there were wide variations in parents' and teachers' perspectives on what constitutes parent involvement in children's learning and education, and
(g) links between home and school were mostly 'one way' and formal and some parents desired more frequent, more informal and spontaneous contact with teachers. These findings have considerable implications for Basel school and classroom practice and for early and middle year policy makers. They show that embedded assumptions of both teachers and parents may have a negative impact on children's positive identification with both majority and minority language learning. Limited financial support for home language classes is likely to have a negative effect on immigrant children's home language literacy learning. Dialogue needs to be sought on the potential for ICT use in home language learning. Policy makers' efforts towards developing multilingualism in all children are problematic. Some parents drew attention to the challenge of learning a third language through a second language, L1 + L2a +L2b + L3+L4. (L1 = home language, L2a= German Swiss dialect, L2b = Standard German, L3= French, L4 = English). To help better explain and increase awareness of the interrelationship between home languages, ICT use and the home-school connection, a model was developed that reflects the range of immigrant family perspectives on home language learning and the influences that appear to promote home language development within children's environments. This 'multilingual social cohesive communications model' should assist in understanding the important links between home languages, ICTs and home-school communication. The model emphasises the importance of developing bottom up local level strategies and recognises the vital role of positive interactions between parents and teachers. It builds on a sociocultural view of language learning, tapping on the potential of new learning tools (ICTs) in real and virtual communities. It recognises the importance of intercultural identity formation and at the same time the inhibiting effects of discrimination both overt and covert. The model incorporates the strategies schools need to improve communication with families and to strengthen links between home and school with the view to improving educational outcomes and prospects for immigrant children.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse porte sur le cinéma d’amateur et, plus particulièrement, sur la pratique des home movies en France, à savoir la réalisation et la réception en famille de films d’amateur. En étudiant la période qui s’étend de 1960 à aujourd’hui, nous nous sommes intéressés à la manière dont la pratique a évolué à la fois sur le plan technique et technologique, grâce à l’introduction de trois formats (le Super 8, le VHS et le numérique), et sur le plan social et culturel, à travers la prise en compte de différents types de modèles familiaux (de la famille nucléaire aux familles recomposées en passant par les familles adoptantes). À partir de ces observations, nous avons élaboré une esthétique des home movies entendue comme esthétique du lien. Cette étude croise deux approches : d’une part, la sémio-pragmatique avec la notion d’espace de communication élaborée par Roger Odin et, d’autre part, l’interactionnisme inspiré des travaux d’Erving Goffman. Ainsi, nous avons construit deux espaces de communication afin de systématiser les interactions, les discours, les relations énonciatives et les affects qui se développent respectivement durant le filmage et le visionnage. Nous avons également introduit deux modes principaux censés structurer les processus de production de sens qui seraient à l’œuvre dans les deux étapes de la pratique et nous les avons appelés respectivement mode ludique (le filmage serait donc mené comme un jeu) et mode taxonomique (le visionnage s’apparenterait à une opération de classement). Pour cela, nous nous sommes également appuyés sur des entretiens avec les membres de six familles françaises ayant réalisé ou réalisant encore des home movies. Nous avons formulé l’hypothèse que la pratique des home movies permettrait aux individus impliqués dans la production et/ou dans la réception de ces films de prendre conscience des dynamiques familiales et de leur rôle au sein du groupe. Nous avons nommé méta-famille le potentiel autoréflexif de la pratique des home moviesMy research concerns the evolution in France of home movie filming from the 1960s (Super 8 films) to the present (digital films) and the changes that have affected the family unit during this period. It brings together a theoretical dimension, the symbolic implications of the practice, and an empirical one, the findings emerging from an exploratory case study of six French families shooting home movies. Based on the psychological, social and cultural study of these families, the multidisciplinary approach of this piece, combined with a qualitative methodology (in the form of several in-depth interviews with the members of those families), is meant to explore how family images and conversations help individuals to think about themselves and their roles within their groups. I conceived my field survey as a form of role-play in which the subjects were supposed to show me their home movies and talk about them: I interviewed family members separately (for instance, the parents together and then their children) about the same home movies in order to find out how people give several interpretations of the same representation of a family event. I will argue that the making of home movies contributes to a family’s sense of self-awareness by introducing a concept that I have named the meta-family. Thanks to the interactions in shooting home movies and the different types of verbalisation, the family is allowed to think about itself. The meta-family is not the real family, shooting or watching images, but represents the conscious and unconscious workings of the family members produced with, and through, the images. The evolution of the technical age and technologies in the practice of home movies has followed, recorded and sometimes predicted those conscious and unconscious changes within the family unit

Full textAbstract:
This project investigated the subjective perceptions of family reported by people who
have experienced long-term foster care. Foster care involves removal from their
biological family of children deemed to be in need of care, and their placement in
alternative homes. Foster children may spend varying amounts of time in care, and
may have multiple caretakers. The research began with three broad questions: Who
do people who have experienced long-term foster care think of as their family? How
close do they feel to them? How would they like their family to be? Two exploratory
studies were conducted. In Study 1, 43 children in long-term family foster care (CFFC
participants) aged between 8 and 15, who had been in care for more than one year,
and 42 matched controls, completed the Kvebaek Family Sculpture Technique (KFST).
They chose figures to represent family members and placed them on a chess board,
using the squares to indicate emotional closeness or distance from each figure. A
representation of their �ideal� family was also obtained. Most CFFC participants
nominated their foster family as their family, and few changed their ideal
representation. In Study 2, 39 adults aged between 19 and 65 (AFCC participants),
who had been in either family foster care or cottage homes for at least one year, and a
comparison group of 39 matched controls, completed the KFST according to
perceptions of family now, as children, and an ideal family. An in-depth, semi
structured interview on perceptions of family followed. For the majority of AFCC
participants, connections to foster family when they were children had dissipated over
time. Nevertheless, about half of the AFCC participants were still strongly and
positively attached to one set of foster parents. The major determinant of attachment
to foster parents appeared to be a nurturing environment, while a non-nurturing
environment was the most prominent feature of failure to attach to foster parents.
Visiting by biological parents contributed to continued attachment to them, however,
relationships with biological parents were reported as ambivalent, distant, and
unsupportive. Foster care participants appeared similar to those in other studies,
however, the two samples were small, and may not be representative in terms of ideas
about family membership. Caution is necessary in any attempt to generalise from the
findings to a wider foster care population. Implications for theory, policy, and clinical
applications are discussed, and suggestions made for further research.
