| Project description |
This research explored relations
between grandparents and teenage grandchildren. The study took
this focus because little research is available on the range
of help and support grandparents and older grandchildren provide
to each other. Those involved discussed their past and current
relationships, providing valuable insights into this important
kinship relation. The study was comprised of two phases: the
first year of this project was funded through a CRFR post-doctoral
research fellowship and 9 months of additional funding was secured
from the ESRC to continue the study. The experiences of grandchildren
were concentrated upon in the first phase of the study. The
second phase explored the experiences of grandparents in greater
detail. |
