Ph.D. Topic: The Stories of Single Mothers in Ireland
This research is interested in the stories and storied lives of single mothers in changing cultural contexts and the processes of social change in Ireland, in the context of persistent patriarchal discourses and government policy orientated towards two parent families.
The research takes a critical interpretative stance and is interested in the subjective narratives of single mothers. It utilises the Biographic Narrative Interpretive Method (BNIM) for data collection and analysis.
