The 21st Century Ladz: The School-to-Work Transition and Masculine Identity of Marginalised Working-Class Young Men from the South Wales Valleys

Senghenydd是一个曾经的煤矿社区，有着创伤的历史，在这里，大多数人既不为工作而训练，也不离开山谷。这项研究涉及男性工作的地区历史，了解工作历史、轨迹和主观性，以便找到一种方法，让当地的男性参与一项试点方案，该方案在一个值得信赖的环境中支持男性，使他们能够进入新行业的培训/教育。这一规定必须是小规模的和地方性的，这对它感到安全和不受威胁至关重要。Walkerdine和Jimenez（2012）展示了重工业的消失对去工业化地区男性气概的复杂影响，这使得探索新的前进方式、对抗异化、绝望感和多重剥夺变得至关重要。理由：提出在一个社区进行这种小规模的研究和干预，是因为它可以允许开发一个试点支持计划，如果成功，可以作为在非工业化地区进一步工作的模型。它使用了与当地社区中心共同设计的研究。它试图回答以下问题：当地提供的有针对性的支助能否帮助非工业化社区的男子接受新的工业工作的培训/教育？

Senghenydd is an ex-coal community with a history of trauma where most men neither train for work nor leave the Valley. The research engages with the area history of male work, understanding work histories, trajectories and subjectivities, to find a way of engaging men at the local level in a pilot programme that supports men, in a trusted environment, to be able to enter training/education for new industries. That the provision be small and local, is essential for it to feel safe and non-threatening. Walkerdine and Jimenez, 2012 demonstrated the complex effects of the loss of heavy industry on masculinities in de-industrialised areas, making it vital to explore new ways of moving forward, combating alienation, a sense of hopelessness and multiple deprivation. Rationale: This small-scale research and intervention in one community is proposed because it can allow the development of a pilot support scheme, which, if successful, can be used as a model for further work in de-industrialised areas. It uses co-designed research with the local community centre. It seeks to answer the question: Can locally-produced and targeted support assist in getting men in de-industrialised communities into training/education for new industrial work ?
