项目摘要

"Sam is everything to me. Yes, he's a carer to some extent, and a family member. An assistance dog, pet, and lifesaver all rolled into one. He's my no.1 sock puller-off-er, my little furry ball of 'brave' at my feet (and he often lets me borrow his 'brave' to help face the big scary world!) and my giant ball of excitement" (Research participant, Arathoon, 2022).The main role of assistance-dog-human partnership (in my research) is to help with physical tasks such as picking up dropped items, pushing or pulling open a door, or touching buttons that automatically open doors. Despite this, in my research an invaluable benefit was placed on the social and emotional wellbeing benefit of assistance dog partnership by the human partners (see also Eason, 2020). My research thus intervenes in a series of timely debates around the therapeutic potential of human-animal interaction (Bolman, 2019; Gorman, 2019; Pemberton, 2019; Roe and Greenhough, 2021). Additionally, geographers are now going beyond understanding dog training as a domestication process, to understand the spatial, temporal, and material nature of dog training (see Smith et al, 2021).My doctoral research thus makes a substantial contribution to animal geographies and disability geographies by bringing together geographical work on animals and disability, which have been traditionally separate, through exploring the partnership's lived experiences. Through a sustained narrative of how animal and disabled bodies are understood, and how care is expressed as a practice (the 'doing of care') and a lived experience, I outlined how bringing these themes together through animal and disability geographies opens up what we understand as care and the human-animal relationship. The pairing of subdisciplines here is unique and valuable to wider geographical contributions on care and space (see Case for Support for an overview of a I have submitted paper on this). My PhD examiners noted the "richness of their [Jamie's] empirical data, their command of the literature ... and clearly articulated set of contributions to their field(s)". To do this, I engaged with Dog A.I.D., an assistance dog charity which helps physically disabled and chronically ill people train their own pets to be assistance dogs. This charity is unique, and of vital importance, for three reasons: 1) Most literature on assistance dogs focuses on trained dogs provided to humans, not pet dogs being trained to be assistance dogs; 2) Most literature is focused on dogs for visually impaired and blind people; and 3) Due to the dogs being pets, there are several different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and training styles to examine. My research asks important questions about how the relationship between human and dog changes due to the training they undertake, and whether dogs can be considered to care for and about humans. My research highlights the need to explore human-animal interactions, and take seriously the actions of animals as sentient, 'minded', beings.The fellowship will offer an opportunity to continue this impact-driven research through providing me with space to engage with interested publics. The new project will build on and develop work from my PhD thesis, by expanding its geographical scope and moving to a new focus on digital spaces of assistance dog training. My research plans aim to make three key contributions to the literature and Dog A.I.D. charity practices: 1) Fusing together animal and disability geographies (and animal and disability studies) through the themes of care, space, place, and time; 2) Using ethnomethodological approaches to explore human-animal relationships and interaction; and 3) Generating important resources (a report and visual educational materials) that can impact the charity's future direction through evidencing their future grant applications and by influencing their training practices locally with their clients.
“山姆对我来说就是一切。是的,他在某种程度上是一个照顾者,也是一个家庭成员。一只援助犬、宠物和救生员三者合一。他是我的头号脱袜子者,我脚下毛茸茸的‘勇敢’小球(他经常让我借用他的‘勇敢’来帮助面对这个巨大的可怕世界!),也是我巨大的兴奋球”(研究参与者,Arathoon,2022)。 主要角色的 协助狗与人类的伙伴关系(在我的研究中)是帮助完成体力任务,例如拾起掉落的物品、推或拉门或触摸自动开门的按钮。尽管如此,在我的研究中,人类伙伴与协助犬的伙伴关系对社会和情感健康带来了宝贵的好处(另见 Eason,2020)。因此,我的研究介入了一系列围绕人与动物互动的治疗潜力的及时辩论(Bolman,2019;Gorman,2019;Pemberton,2019;Roe 和 Greenhough,2021)。此外,地理学家现在不仅仅将狗训练理解为驯化过程,而是理解狗训练的空间、时间和物质本质(参见 Smith 等人,2021)。因此,我的博士研究通过探索伙伴关系的生活经验,将传统上分离的动物和残疾的地理工作结合在一起,对动物地理学和残疾地理学做出了重大贡献。通过对如何理解动物和残疾身体,以及如何将护理表达为一种实践(“护理行为”)和生活体验的持续叙述,我概述了如何通过动物和残疾地理学将这些主题结合在一起,开启了我们所理解的护理和人与动物的关系。这里的子学科配对对于在护理和空间方面做出更广泛的地理贡献是独特且有价值的(请参阅支持案例以了解我已提交的有关此问题的论文的概述)。我的博士审查员注意到“他们(杰米)经验数据的丰富性,他们对文献的掌握......以及对他们领域的明确阐述的贡献”。为此,我与 Dog A.I.D. 合作,这是一家协助犬慈善机构,帮助身体残疾和患有慢性病的人训练自己的宠物成为协助犬。这个慈善机构是独一无二的,也是至关重要的,原因有以下三个:1)大多数关于协助犬的文献都集中在为人类提供训练有素的狗,而不是被训练成协助犬的宠物狗; 2)大多数文献都集中在为视障人士和盲人服务的狗上; 3)由于狗是宠物,因此有几种不同的品种、大小、性情和训练方式需要检查。我的研究提出了一些重要问题:人类和狗之间的关系如何因接受的训练而发生变化,以及狗是否可以被认为是关心人类的。我的研究强调了探索人与动物相互作用的必要性,并认真对待动物作为有感知力、“有思想”的生物的行为。该奖学金将为我提供一个机会,通过为我提供与感兴趣的公众互动的空间,继续进行这项影响驱动的研究。新项目将以我的博士论文为基础并进行发展,扩大其地理范围,并将新的重点转移到辅助犬训练的数字空间上。我的研究计划旨在为文献和 Dog A.I.D. 做出三项关键贡献。慈善实践: 1)通过护理、空间、地点和时间等主题将动物和残疾地理学(以及动物和残疾研究)融合在一起; 2)利用民族方法学方法探索人与动物的关系和互动; 3) 生成重要资源(报告和视觉教育材料),通过证明其未来的赠款申请并影响其与客户在当地的培训实践,可以影响慈善机构的未来方向。
