Exploring underlying attitudes towards disabilities within black and minority ethnic (BME) informal support networks and its impact on young BME peopl

在英国，人们正在向成年过渡。本提案旨在解决学术文献和理论的差距，探讨来自BME非正式支持网络对残疾的潜在态度及其对年轻BME残疾个体的影响，以期最大限度地促进他们向成年的过渡。首先，该研究将调查来自非正式支持网络和更广泛的BME社会对残疾的不同态度及其影响。其次，研究将集中在青年BME残疾个体的生活经历和生命历程上，这在学术文献中相对隐蔽。最后，提出的研究将为理解在向成年过渡的背景下由残疾和种族交叉产生的多重身份的复杂性提供有价值的贡献。该提案将激发、发展和促进有关这些隐藏人口在整体层面上的交叉经历、生活历程和叙述的理论，以及这些特征如何相互关联。该提案采用混合方法，第一阶段将采用在线问卷；通过这种方式收集的数据将揭示对残疾的不同态度，为更广泛的BME社会中的“隐蔽社区”提供重要的见解。第二阶段将涉及深度访谈，以便根据所提供支持的性质、做出过渡决定的过程以及年轻的BME残疾人士生活经历中多重身份的影响，对不同的说法进行全面叙述。

people in their transition to adulthood in the United Kingdom. This proposal aims to address the gap in academic literature and theory exploring underlying attitudes from BME informal support networks towards disability and the impact this has upon young BME disabled individuals, with a view to maximise their transition to adulthood. First, the study will investigate the varying attitudes towards disabilities and its implications, from informal support networks and the wider BME society. Second, research will focus on the lived experiences and life courses of young BME disabled individuals, which remains relatively concealed within academic literature. Finally, the proposed study will provide a valuable contribution to understanding the complexities of the multiple identities emerging from the intersections of disability and ethnicity in the context of transitioning to adulthood. This proposal will instigate, develop and contribute to theories about the intersectional experiences, life courses and narratives of this concealed population at a holistic level, and how these characteristics interrelate. Employing the mixed-method approach, the proposal will feature online questionnaire in its first stage; data collected through this will bring to light varying attitudes towards disabilities, providing an important insight into a 'concealed community' within the wider BME society. The second stage will involve in-depth interviews in order to develop a comprehensive narrative of varying accounts with reference to the nature of the support given, process of making transitional decisions and implications of multiple identities in the lived experiences of young BME disabled people.
