LONDON Bridge-water State College Detailed family histories were taken of students who were the first in their families to go to college. This paper utilizes the psychoanalytic and family systems theory of Helm Stierlin and others to explore (1) how college matriculation for first-generation students is linked to multi- generational family dynamics, and (2) how these students reconcile (or do not reconcile) the often conflicting requirements of family membership and educational mobility. The same modernity that creates the possibility of opportunity for these students is seen also to create the potential for biographical and social dislocation. Introduction Several years ago the film Breaking Away was a box office success across America. On the surface it was the story of "town-gown" frictions between the "cuttters" of Bloomington, Indiana-so called because they were the children of the men who mined the local limestone qtuarries-atid the ostensibly more sophisticated but condescending students of Indiana University.

  • Experiences Living with My Japanese Peruvian Family in Lima
    STUDYING ABROAD WITH MY FAMILY ABROAD Experiences Living with my Japanese Peruvian Family in Lima For a long time, Peru was somewhere I was curious about. I’d heard mentions of it from my dad, though he didn’t like to talk much about his years living there before moving to the US. I’m half Japanese Peruvian. My dad was born in Lima, Peru; my grandparents are the children of Japanese immigrants to Peru who came over in the large migration from Japan and China to Peru to work as manual laborers, especially in the guano industry. My mom is American, born in upstate New York state. I was born and grew up in Northern California in a small hippie town called Fairfax about an hour and a half outside of San Francisco. I look almost exactly like my mom when she was my age, and very little like my dad. I visited Peru once with both of my parents when I was ten but was only here for about two weeks visiting family in Lima and travelling to Machu Picchu. Growing up, Peru was a presence in the background of my life. Every Christmas we’d receive boxes of D’anafria Pannetone, because it’s traditional to exchange them with friends and family for Christmas in Peru. My dad was always on a quest to find “the right empanada,” and said that when he retired he wanted to open a food truck so that he could sell Peruvian style empanadas in San Francisco. Every few months we’d go into the city to go to Gustavo’s restaurant for dinner.

  • Turn Back Time: the Family
    TURN BACK TIME: THE FAMILY In October 2011, my lovely wife, Naomi, responded to an advert from TV production company Wall to Wall. Their assistant producer, Caroline Miller, was looking for families willing to take part in a living history programme. They wanted families who were willing to live through five decades of British history. At the same time, they wanted to retrace the history of those families to understand what their predecessors would have been doing during each decade. Well, as you may have already guessed, Wall to Wall selected the Goldings as one of the five families to appear in the programme. Shown on BBC1 at 9pm from Tuesday 26th June 2012, we were honoured and privileged to film three of the five episodes. As the middle class family in the Edwardian, inter war and 1940s periods, we quite literally had the most amazing experience of our lives. This page of my blog is to share our experiences in more detail – from selection, to the return to normal life! I have done this in parts, starting with ‘the selection process’ and ending with the experience of another family. Much of what you will read was not shown on TV, and may answer some of your questions (those of you who watched it!!). I hope you enjoy reading our story. Of course, your comments are very welcome. PART 1 – THE SELECTION PROCESS I will never forget the moment when I got home from work to be told by Naomi that she had just applied for us to be part of a TV programme.

  • What My Family Should Know
    What My Family Should Know A GUIDE FOR GETTING YOUR AFFAIRS IN ORDER Name: Date Completed: 1 Foreword We cannot stress too often the importance of getting your personal affairs in order. This process is important for everyone, but even more important for those who often find themselves living away from family and friends. Throughout your life, you have tried to protect your loved ones and now you have a chance to help them at a time when they will need that help the most. Taking the time to plan now and record information for your loved ones will be the most unselfish gifts of love you can give. What My Family Should Know Although many of us are efficient in our daily lives and keep meticulous records in our professions, most of us leave inadequate and incomplete records of our economic and personal affairs when we die. When and how your benefits will be paid and how your estate will be settled are many questions that must be answered. This guide has been compiled to help you record the necessary facts for your family, your attorney and your executor. We suggest you complete this record and store it in a safe place so it will be available for possible revisions by you and later use by your family. It is not recommended that you keep this guide in your safety deposit box since most are sealed after death. 2 PERSONAL INFORMATION Name: Social Security No. Date of Birth: Place of Birth: Current Home Address: Home Telephone #: Work Telephone #: Supervisor’s Telephone #: Prior or Permanent Address: Marital Status: Married: Divorced: Widowed: Single: Separated: Date and Place of Marriage: Name of Spouse: (Please complete if different than above) Current Home Address: Telephone #: Spouse’s Employer: Address of Employer: Work Telephone #: Name of Former Spouse: Current Home Address: Work Telephone #: Date & Place of Marriage: Date & Place of Divorce: Registry of Children: Given Name Date of Birth Place of Birth SSN Address Current as of: 3 PERSONAL INFORMATION - SPOUSE Name: Social Security No.

  • Child-Against-Parent Abuse in Greater Manchester: Key Themes, Collaboration, & Opportunities in an Age of Austerity
    Child-against-Parent Abuse in Greater Manchester: Key themes, collaboration and preventative interventions Professional Doctorate in Criminal Justice Institute of Criminal Justice Studies University of Portsmouth By Simon Retford (HEMIS: 353945) The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Professional Doctorate in Criminal Justice of the University of Portsmouth. January 2016 1 Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Simon Retford Pre-Viva Voce Word Count: 49847 2 Abstract Domestic abuse has been widely researched, however one area relatively absent from such research is that of parent abuse, which sees abuse perpetrated by children against parents. Academic research into parent abuse has begun to increase over recent years, yet this still remains a significantly under-researched area of family violence. This thesis seeks to develop an understanding of key themes and collaborative prevention opportunities in relation to parent abuse in Greater Manchester, and makes recommendations for the development of practitioner responses. Accordingly, the research follows a qualitative paradigm in order to build a better understanding of key issues and to explore opportunities for collaborative responding in the current austere economic climate. The research design consisted of in-depth interviews conducted with practitioners drawn from a variety of public and third-sector agencies working within three boroughs across central Greater Manchester, and utilised open coding in a grounded theoretical approach.
