MORE ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Professor Mike Savage will talk about how he used qualitative interviews sampled from the UK’s National Child Development Survey to unpack how the experiences of precarity were understood and interpreted by those who the NCDS panel survey revealed to be in the most disadvantaged positions. Mike will bring out the agency and individual resilience of these respondents to show how their capacity to ‘own’ their lives generated a political world view which was distanced from formal politics and embraces motifs around individuality and self-reliance.
TSITICA is a collaborative, multi-country interdisciplinary research project. It brings together two ARUA Centres of Excellence with researchers from the universities of Ghana, Nairobi and Cape Town, and from the UK universities of Bristol, East Anglia and Manchester and the London School of Economics and Political Science. The support of the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) are gratefully acknowledged.
