Homeless Mothers' Experience of Caregiving in Dublin, Ireland

该项目将调查“关爱”如何塑造无家可归母亲的自我创造过程。该项目旨在阐明无家可归的母亲如何通过照顾来努力为她们所爱的人实现“美好生活”。这将涉及对都柏林两项为无家可归母亲提供住宿服务的参与者观察研究，这两项服务分别满足不同年龄，并提供短期或长期住宿。结合两个实地调查地点，可以比较无家可归者不同阶段的照料情况，以及母子关系的暂时性。

The project will investigate how 'care' shapes homeless mothers' processes of self-making. The project seeks to illuminate the ways in which, through caregiving, homeless mothers strive to realise a 'good life' for their loved ones. This will involve a participant-observation study of two accommodation services for homeless mothers in Dublin, which cater for different ages, and offer short- or long-term accommodation respectively. Combining two fieldwork locations will enable a comparison of caregiving at different stages of homelessness, and the temporalities of the mother/child relationship.
