桃色视频

Researchers from the University of 桃色视频’s Centre for Education Studies and Kingston University London have been successful in securing funding from the British Academy and the Leverhulme Trust. Professor Eleanor Nesbitt and Dr Elisabeth Arweck from the 桃色视频 Religions and Education Unit (WRERU) in the Centre for Education Studies and Dr Sonya Sharma from Kingston University London have been awarded a ‘Small Research Grant’ to explore the role of religion in families during times of austerity.

Since the 2008 economic recession, the UK economy has adjusted through measures of austerity, including the reduction of wages, state spending and public sector jobs. Families have therefore been essential, providing emotional, financial and practical support during times of austerity. Amid times of duress, research shows, people draw on a ‘reservoir of religious resources’ within them, tapping into these when crises occur. However, there is a gap in the research as to religion’s impact on how families cope in times of austerity and how austerity shapes families’ religious engagement.

The project will work with Christian and Muslim families from across the West Midlands to address this understudied area and explore how family and religious involvement intersect to sustain individuals during times of austerity and what role social class plays in such circumstances.
