This project will address how working-class women engage with the arts and cultural institutions in Scotland. Focused on women from low-income backgrounds in Glasgow, I will explore how working- class identity can be understood through personal relationships to art, nature, and landscape. This approach represents a shift away from mainstream studies of class which reduce working-class life to economic circumstance and the quest for social mobility. To do this, I begin with the understanding that a relationship to art, nature and landscape can manifest in multiple ways. In traditional engagements with cultural institutions, in how women dress and adorn their homes, in how they relate to their built and natural environment and in how they tell their life histories. Juxtaposing the domestic and the mundane with an exploration of working-class women's intuition, philosophy, and interiority, the ultimate goal is to open-up artistic and cultural domains to more working-class women while contributing to academic debates on gender, class, and aesthetics. The project will engage women who are often on the peripherals of society. Older women in low- income circumstance, connecting to broader feminist discussion of how women become 'invisible' or ignored within society as they age. Together with single mothers in low-income circumstance where, due to time pressures and poverty, creativity may be construed as a luxury or self-indulgent. This project will avoid further isolating these women by treating them seriously as collaborators and co- creators. As such, this PhD will utilise methods from social anthropology, collaborative social science, fine art, and digital media.

该项目将探讨工薪阶层妇女如何参与苏格兰的艺术和文化机构。我将关注格拉斯哥低收入背景的女性，探索如何通过个人与艺术、自然和风景的关系来理解工人阶级身份。这种方法代表了对阶级的主流研究的转变，这种研究将工人阶级生活减少到经济状况和对社会流动性的追求上。要做到这一点，我首先要了解到，与艺术、自然和风景的关系可以通过多种方式表现出来。在与文化机构的传统接触中，妇女如何穿着和装饰她们的家，她们如何与她们的建筑和自然环境相联系，以及她们如何讲述她们的生活史。将家庭和世俗与探索工人阶级女性的直觉、哲学和内在联系并列在一起，最终目标是向更多的工薪阶层女性开放艺术和文化领域，同时促进关于性别、阶级和美学的学术辩论。该项目将使经常处于社会边缘的妇女参与进来。在低收入环境中的老年妇女，连接到更广泛的女权主义讨论，即妇女如何随着年龄的增长而在社会中变得“看不见”或被忽视。以及处于低收入环境中的单身母亲，在那里，由于时间压力和贫困，创造力可能被解释为一种奢侈品或自我放纵。该项目将认真对待这些女性，将她们视为合作者和共同创造者，从而避免进一步孤立她们。因此，这一博士学位将使用社会人类学、合作社会科学、美术和数字媒体的方法。
