项目摘要

This career development fellowship will enable me to consolidate my PhD work, bring the impact of my research to a wider set of beneficiaries beyond the academia, enhance my skill set and facilitate my transition into a research-focused academic career. For my doctorate in sociology, I studied everyday leisure practices of 8-to-12-year-old British Indian children in the UK from the perspective of both the children and their professional middle-class parents. The findings of my qualitative study provide insights into parenting strategies of middle-class ethnic minority parents, children's experiences of racism in leisure spaces and the significant role leisure plays in shaping contemporary childhoods and parenthoods. Building on this research base, I want to optimise the resources made available by this fellowship to undertake a programme of structured activities that will boost my employability in the academia.Firstly, I want to utilise the time of the fellowship to consolidate my publication record. I will submit a methodological article to the journal Childhood (impact factor: 1.957) and work on my monograph which will be a substantial development of my PhD thesis. Palgrave Macmillan has already expressed interest in the monograph project under their Critical Cultural Studies of Childhood book series. Alongside these planned academic publications, I will deliver oral presentations at four major conferences and participate in academic dialogues by attending academic talks and workshops. These academic initiatives will enable me to influence future scholarship as well as help me to establish my reputation within my field of research.Secondly, I am keen to bring the impact of my research to stakeholders outside the academia. I want to engage leisure industry bodies and British Indian community organisations through a programme of impact activities spread across the fellowship period. I will publish research-informed write-ups for the blogs and newsletters of Chief Cultural & Leisure Officers Association (CLOA), WiHTL, Indian Ladies in the UK, South Asia @ LSE and Sampad South Asian Arts Organisation. Additionally, I will give a talk about British Indian childhoods at Nehru Centre London (the cultural wing of the Indian High Commission) and another talk at a WiHTL workshop on racial and ethnic diversity in leisure industries. I will also engage in networking events through Southampton India Centre for Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development. I will contribute to an initiative the Centre is currently developing about the contribution of British Indians to the UK economy. These activities will hone my understanding of how to achieve research impact - which will be crucial in my future academic career.Thirdly, I want to enhance my methodological skills by undertaking further training in two main areas: ethnographic methods and the use of NVivo software for qualitative data analysis (see Case for Support, attached). These skills will enable me to teach research methods courses and they will also put me in good stead in securing competitive research funding for major projects, thus boosting my employability within the academia.Fourthly, I will undertake teaching and supervision in my host department over Semester 2. The 2nd year sociology module on race and ethnicity is currently suspended at Southampton. Drawing upon my expertise in the field, I will teach this module. I will also support the supervision of undergraduate and taught postgraduate dissertations. These teaching and supervision experiences will add greatly to my CV and boost my chances of securing a teaching-cum-research position in the academia.Lastly, I will seek the advice of my mentor Prof Rosalind Edwards to lay the next steps in my academic career. This will involve reviewing job opportunities as they arise and seeking her advice on preparing application materials for research fellowships and lectureships.

这项职业发展奖学金将使我能够巩固我的博士工作，将我的研究的影响带给学术界以外更广泛的受益者，增强我的技能，并促进我过渡到以研究为重点的学术职业。在攻读社会学博士学位期间，我从孩子及其职业中产阶级父母的角度研究了英国 8 至 12 岁英属印度儿童的日常休闲活动。我的定性研究结果提供了对中产阶级少数族裔父母的养育策略、儿童在休闲空间中遭受种族主义的经历以及休闲在塑造当代童年和父母身份方面的重要作用的见解。在此研究基础上，我想优化该奖学金提供的资源，以开展结构化活动计划，以提高我在学术界的就业能力。首先，我想利用奖学金的时间来巩固我的发表记录。我将向《Childhood》杂志（影响因子：1.957）提交一篇方法论文章，并撰写我的专着，这将是我的博士论文的实质性发展。帕尔格雷夫·麦克米伦已经对他们的《童年批判文化研究》系列丛书中的专着项目表示了兴趣。除了这些计划的学术出版物外，我还将在四个主要会议上进行口头报告，并通过参加学术讲座和研讨会来参与学术对话。这些学术举措将使我能够影响未来的学术，并帮助我在我的研究领域建立我的声誉。其次，我热衷于将我的研究的影响带给学术界以外的利益相关者。我想通过在奖学金期间开展的影响力活动计划来吸引休闲行业机构和英属印度社区组织的参与。我将为首席文化和休闲官员协会 (CLOA)、WiHTL、英国印度女士、南亚 @ 伦敦经济学院和 Sampad 南亚艺术组织的博客和时事通讯发表研究型文章。此外，我将在伦敦尼赫鲁中心（印度高级专员公署的文化部门）发表关于英属印度童年的演讲，并在 WiHTL 研讨会上发表关于休闲产业中种族和民族多样性的另一场演讲。我还将通过南安普顿印度包容性增长和可持续发展中心参加社交活动。我将为该中心目前正在制定的一项关于英属印度人对英国经济的贡献的倡议做出贡献。这些活动将磨练我对如何实现研究影响的理解，这对我未来的学术生涯至关重要。第三，我想通过在两个主要领域进行进一步培训来增强我的方法论技能：人种学方法和使用 NVivo 软件进行定性数据分析（请参阅随附的支持案例）。这些技能将使我能够教授研究方法课程，也将使我有利于为重大项目获得有竞争力的研究资金，从而提高我在学术界的就业能力。第四，我将在第二学期在我的所在院系承担教学和监督工作。第二年关于种族和民族的社会学模块目前在南安普顿暂停。我将利用我在该领域的专业知识来教授该模块。我还将支持本科生和授课型研究生论文的监督。这些教学和监督经验将极大地丰富我的简历，并增加我在学术界获得教学兼研究职位的机会。最后，我将寻求导师罗莎琳德·爱德华兹教授的建议，为我学术生涯的下一步奠定基础。这将涉及审查出现的工作机会，并就准备研究奖学金和讲师的申请材料征求她的建议。
