Examples of Re-Use

 

Young Lives: an Open University course dvd

 

The Open University worked with the research team and a independent production company to produce a DVD called ‘Young Lives’ as part of a level 3 undergraduate course ‘Youth: perspectives and practices’. This explored the biographies of five of the young people involved in the study and entailed creating new video data, showcasing archived data and involving young people in reflecting on their earlier interviews.

 


Young people and bereavement

 

As part of a literature review study funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Jane Ribbens McCarthy worked with the research team to develop case studies of young people who had suffered bereavement during the 10 years of the Inventing Adulthoods research. These case studies demonstrated the long term consequences of bereavement as well as the way in which such experiences form part of ordinary childhoods and youth. For more information see: Ribbens McCarthy, Jane (2006) Young People's Experiences of Loss and Bereavement: Towards an Inter-disciplinary Approach. Buckingham, Open University Press.


 

The National Children’s Bureau


We produced six publications in conjunction with the The National Children’s Bureau (NCB). These were based on the Youth Values study (‘Respect’):

 

Cards for Life A card game to be used in schools in the context of PSHE and Citizenship, this is comprised of a series of cards, each describing a scenario that will encourage young people to explore the moral issues it raises.

 

More than just a piece of paper? Young people’s views on marriage and relationships explores young people's views on marriage and divorce, and relationships in general, revealing differences by location, class and gender. It includes a section looking in more detail at homosexuality, as well as identifying historical trends, and summarizing other research on young people’s attitudes to marriage.

 

From Fear to Respect. Young people’s view on violence explores the meaning and significance of violence in young people's lives, and what may make it acceptable. It illustrates how moral values may clash with life experiences in different contexts: violence at home, bullying, fighting, community violence, and violence in the media.

 

All you need is love. The morality of sexual relationships through the eyes of young people explores their views and experiences of what makes sex acceptable, and their attitudes and feelings about issues such as underage sex; the age of consent; sexual pressures; teenage pregnancy; abortion; teenage magazines; pornography; homosexuality; and raising a child.
