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

Senghenydd是一个前煤炭社区，有创伤的历史，在那里，大多数人既不接受工作培训，也不离开硅谷。这项研究涉及男性工作领域的历史，了解工作历史、轨迹和主观性，以找到一种方法，让地方一级的男性参与一个试点方案，支持男性在可信的环境中能够进入新行业的培训/教育。该条款的规模小、地方性强，对于它感到安全和不具威胁性至关重要。Walkerdine和Jimenez在2012年展示了重工业的丧失对去工业化地区男性气概的复杂影响，这使得探索前进的新方法至关重要，与疏离、无望感和多重剥夺作斗争。理由：之所以提出在一个社区进行这种小规模的研究和干预，是因为它可以开发一个试点支助计划，如果成功，可以作为去工业化地区进一步工作的模式。它使用与当地社区中心共同设计的研究。它试图回答这样一个问题：当地生产的和有针对性的支持能否帮助去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 ?
