  • Disability policies, transnationalism and policy diffusion: ‘Asocial’
           models of inclusion for children and youth in low and middle-income
           countries (LMICs)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Keerty Nakray
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      This paper examines the advances made by low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in the inclusion of children with disabilities and youth within mainstream policies on education, employment, health, and social care provisions and the implications on their outcomes. Theoretically, this paper advances critical disability studies and addresses stigma and discrimination as barriers to progressive social policies. It also critically examines the diffusion of the social model of disability, which finds expression in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Methodologically, this paper uses latent class analysis (LCA) to analyse clusters of LMICs, regarding the adoption of social-legal provisions as stipulated by the CRPD. Finally, the paper concludes with a paradigm shift within the sociology of disability towards a sociology of enablement within the fold of emancipatory politics that addresses stigma and discrimination.

  • Civil society, solidarity and collective action: Conflict-related
           displacement in Northern Ireland's Troubles, 1969–1974

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Niall Gilmartin
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      This article examines the extraordinary stories of how thousands of active citizens and citizen groups forged sustained levels of collective action to coordinate and manage the evacuation and shelter of thousands forced from their homes and communities during Northern Irelands Troubles. Based on in-depth interviews, the articles originality resides in its unique insights into the first-hand narratives of fear, refuge, and movement caused by mass displacement that have hitherto been largely side-lined from the history of the Troubles. Furthermore, it argues that the herculean task of organising evacuations, journeys and refuge centres by civil society had less to do with Putnam's pluralist concept of social capital and was instead rooted in ideals of solidarity, collective identity and social action. In the case of Northern Ireland's mass displacement between 1969 and 1974, the solidarity and collective response of civic society was premised upon ethno-cultural ties and identities but also derived from a spectrum of critical perceptions of the state; perceptions ranging from inept at one end and outright complicit at the other.

      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      This paper discusses how the film The Banshees of Inisherin represents and employs key sociological concepts and ideas, namely those of liminality, schismogenesis, stasis and transgression, relating to the social pathologies of contemporary civilization.

  • Harmonising or politicising: Youth sector peacebuilding in contested
           societies

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Andy Hamilton, Mark Hammond
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      Peacebuilding in contested societies is a cross-sectoral enterprise in which young people are primary stakeholders. Multilateral state-sponsored programmes and philanthropic agencies have resourced a vibrant youth sector delivering peacebuilding initiatives in Northern Ireland and the border counties. Despite billions in investment and a rich tapestry of transformative practice, a visionary peacebuilding strategy co-created with young people has remained elusive. As a result, youth sector peacebuilding in Northern Ireland is inhibited by an obstacle facing civil society peacebuilding across the globe – an ill-articulated vision resulting in pockets of disparate practice. Based on empirical research involving 43 youth work practitioners, this article offers a novel and rigorous methodological framework and sociological analysis to support researchers, policymakers and practitioners in contested societies to advance conceptualisations of peacebuilding. Freeden's framework of morphological analysis is operationalised through Q methodology leading to the identification of four distinctive orientations to peacebuilding. Bourdieu's concepts of capital and field are drawn upon to analyse the four perspectives, framed within a new sociopolitical model of youth sector peacebuilding. Tensions between harmonising versus politicising propensities are discussed as a substantial divergence variously incentivised or neglected by powerful actors within the field with significant implications for the trajectory of practice.

  • Closing the ranks: Bondedness, sense of self and moral injury during
           legacy case prosecutions

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Kevin Hearty
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      This article represents an entry point for the sociological study of protests by British Army veterans opposed to legacy case prosecutions arsing out of the conflict in the North of Ireland. Acknowledging the lack of sociological analysis when compared with recent legal, criminological and political studies, it uses insights from military sociology, the sociology of emotions, and the social movement literature to understand how and why veterans have mobilised against these prosecutions. It argues that veterans have resorted to taking collective action for three reasons: out of loyalty to the handful of veterans currently facing prosecution; because these prosecutions challenge their self-image as peacekeepers; and because of their sense of betrayal by the British government. In making this argument, the article highlights how political and moral contestation over past political violence touches on collective and individual identities constructed during that violence, social solidarity within groups impacted by that violence, and different expectations of post-conflict justice in its aftermath.

  • On not knowing and paying attention: How to walk in a possible world

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Tim Ingold
      First page: 20
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      Knowledge and wisdom often operate at cross-purposes. In particular, wisdom means turning towards the world, paying attention to the things we find there, while with knowledge we turn our backs on them. Knowledge thrives on certainty and predictability. But in a certain world, where everything is joined up, nothing could live or grow. If a world of life is necessarily uncertain, it also opens up to pure possibility. To arrive at such possibility, however, we have to rethink the relation between doing and undergoing, or between intentional and attentional models of action. I show how attention cuts a road longitudinally through the transverse connections between intentions and their objects. Where intention is predictive, attention is anticipatory. And if the other side of prediction is the failure of ignorance, the other side of anticipation is the possibility of not knowing. The idea that predictive knowledge demands explication perpetuates the equation of not-knowing with ignorance. Education, science and the state are powerful machines for the production of ignorance. I argue, however, that ignorance and not-knowing are entirely different things. In a world of life, not-knowing betokens not ignorance but the wisdom that lies in attending to things.

  • Walking, talking, [Re-]imagining socio-ecological sustainability: Research
           on the move/moving research

      Authors: Gerard Mullally, Maggie O’Neill, Deirdre de Bhailís, Brendan Tuohy, Maggie Breen, Andrew Duggan, Elaine Ní Loinsigh

      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      Based on a series of walks undertaken on the Dingle Peninsula (Chorca Dhuibhne), South-West Ireland, in March 2020 as part of the ‘Walking Conversations’ symposium, a collaboration between Chorca Dhuibhne Creativity and Innovation Hub, Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne and the Department of Sociology & Criminology at UCC, this paper explores walking as a non-conventional method and way of knowing and understanding in both social research and research led teaching; specifically in relation to transitions to sustainability. We argue that walking is an organic approach to research that engages the performative and sensing body; that values the importance of innovative ways of connecting and collaborating in co-productive ways; and offers embodied, relational, sensory, multi-modal ways to reimagine socio-ecological sustainability in current times. Moreover, as we demonstrate, walking, as research on the move, enables us to: access/say the unsayable and open a space for the role of imagination, and creativity that can facilitate a radical democratic imaginary. Indeed, based upon our experiences with co-walkers in Corca Dhuibhne, research-led walking methods offer a radical democratic transdisciplinary pedagogy, that underpins the Connected Curriculum at UCC.

  • Troubling ambulant research: Disabled people's socio-spatial encounters
           with urban un/safety and the politics of mobile methods

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Claire Edwards, Nicola Maxwell
      First page: 63
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      This paper offers a critical reflection on the use of walking and mobile interviews in the context of research with disabled people whose diverse corporealities and cognitions challenge assumptions about walking as a normative bodily act associated with free, autonomous, mobility. While it has been suggested that mobile methods hold out the potential to open up dialogic and participative spaces of inquiry that capture embodied, affectual, and sensory knowledges in place, there has been less discussion of how social and bodily difference shapes the politics and practices of methods on the move. Drawing on research exploring disabled people's socio-spatial knowledges and experiences of urban un/safety in Ireland, we address this lacuna by reflecting on our use of ‘go-along’ interviews with people with diverse impairments and mobilities. Recognising the barriers that mediate disabled people's use of urban space, we interrogate both what go-along interviews can contribute to our understanding of disabled people's embodied encounters with urban un/safety, but also the limits, challenges and politics of mobile interviews as a form of methodological practice. We suggest there is a need to advance interdisciplinary social science scholarship which troubles ambulant research, and writes social and bodily difference into mobility studies and mobile methods.

  • ‘City as Home’: Conducting walking interviews as biographical method
           with migrant men in Cork

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Mastoureh Fathi
      First page: 82
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      This paper builds on the growing interest in using walking interviews and visual methods to understand stories of place-making in migration. Walking offers a mobile way of being in the space that combines and connects our sense of self to objects, spaces and people who inhabit them. In this paper, I am using the recent approach in walking methods developed by O’Neill and Roberts (2020) called the Walking Interview as Biographical Method (WIBM hereafter) to discuss my experiences of conducting walking interviews with young male migrants in Cork, Ireland. The paper explores how ‘city as home’ is understood from a female researcher's perspective of or when doing research with male participants, and approaches WIBM from four perspectives: WIBM as temporal, WIBM as embodied, WIBM as spatial and WIBM's tacit mode. The paper's contribution is to detail the potential of WIBM's modes as a method of place-making in urban settings among migrant groups.

      Authors: Deirdre Horgan, Eluska Fernández, Karl Kitching

      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      Young people spend a lot of time in their neighbourhood, yet little is known about the relationship between wellbeing, belonging and place from their own perspective. Our study sought to understand how young people navigate their neighbourhood and perceive various aspects of its health environment in its broadest sense. In this article we reflect on the walking methodology we used as part of a Participatory Photo Mapping (PPM) exercise with 11-year-old girls from a working-class school community who were participants in the PEACH Project. It was through walk-along interviews that students were able to tell us where events that matter to them happen; what these experiences look like (via photos that they took while we walked); and how these experiences unfold (via narratives and stories that they shared with us along the way). We reflect on the use of walking methodologies as both an emplaced approach and dynamic exercise that allowed us to access and generate visual and verbal data that privileged these young girls’ community knowledge. We conclude that this method facilitated the discussion of sensitive and political issues, as well as the emergence of unexpected data on child cultures, family and community life, belonging, wellbeing and futures.

  • Hearing and feeling the music in every step: Musical walks and
           biographical experience of lockdown

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Lyudmila Nurse, Chika Robertson
      First page: 125
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      The article investigates the ways in which young musicians explored new (unfamiliar) social landscapes and emotions during Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns, through learning to listen to the “music within their steps” while walking on their own or with members of their own families for the inter-disciplinary project ‘The Musical Steps’. The project examines the self-recorded essays, visual materials and reflections by the young musicians and their parents, which reveal new cultural perspectives of sound, space and silence, along with the thoughts about musical repertoire which were inspired by the walks. Methodologically, we applied the walking biographical method that enabled us to explore young musicians’ reflections on music and their lives during lockdowns from an inter-disciplinary perspective. The walking biographies approach to research on the move has been specially adapted for young musicians and their families by the authors. This article explores how walking changed young musicians’ emotional perceptions of music and what they heard and felt during and after their walks. Questions were raised as to whether the walks affected their physical and mental well-being, both personally and musically, and whether the walks influenced their understanding of their cultural background/origin.

  • A portrait of the artist as a young teacher: James Joyce's walking-talking
           classroom

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Kieran Keohane
      First page: 142
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      This paper traces a deep affinity between teaching and learning, talking and walking. This affinity runs as a red thread from the Greeks walking to Delphi; to Walter Benjamin’s (1992a) flâneur, the urban stroller in Paris and Burgess; to Jane Jacobs’ (1961) celebration of New York's ‘sidewalk ballet’; to Simmel’s (1971) discussion of the metropolis, mental life, and modernity's zeitgeist; to the Chicago and Birmingham schools’ ethnographies of street scenes and subcultures by Park and Burges (1925) and Hebdige (1979); to Maggie O’Neill's ( ) O‘Neill and Roberts (2019) use of ‘walking methods’ as a way into the fragile, precarious, liminal worlds of migrants, refugees, and sex-workers. O’Neill's renaissance of a deep tradition of walking-talking sociological methods resonates very well also with James Joyce's artistic, moral, political, and pedagogical method, whereby the author and his protagonists, (who are mostly people who have been crushed down and pushed to the margins by overwhelming global historical forces) and his readers (a literate, middle-class, cosmopolitan, general public) participate in and co-create a transformative walking-talking classroom convened and conducted through city streets, as exemplified in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

  • On being a dog-person: Meaning-making & dog-walking identities

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Jessica Amberson
      First page: 161
      Abstract: Irish Journal of Sociology, Ahead of Print.
      This paper investigates the dog-walk as a sociologically significant site of inquiry, offering a reflective account of using walking-interviews to understand an intersubjectively-oriented construction of personal and social dog-walking identities. Taking a Human-Animal Studies perspective and drawing on data from fourteen interviews with dog-owners in Cork, this paper suggests that the dog-walk, although a mundane, daily activity, is a multifaceted and mutually meaningful practice. Reflecting on my use of walking-interviews, I explore the meanings that dog-owners ascribe to dog-walking, how it shapes their perception of self, and consider their construction of social identities as dog-people, hybridised beings comprising dog and owner, whose focus lies in issues of shared interest to such beings. I propose that mobile methods, such as walking-interviews, support enhanced epistemological and methodological insights into how being a dog-person is done.
