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

在英国，人们正处于向成年人的过渡期。 该提案旨在解决学术文献和理论中的差距，探讨黑人和少数民族非正式支持网络对残疾的基本态度及其对年轻黑人和少数民族残疾人的影响，以期最大限度地使他们过渡到成年。首先，这项研究将调查不同的态度对待残疾及其影响，从非正式的支持网络和更广泛的黑人和少数民族社会。其次，研究将集中在年轻的BME残疾人的生活经历和生活历程，这仍然相对隐藏在学术文献。最后，拟议的研究将提供一个宝贵的贡献，了解从残疾和种族的交叉点出现的复杂性的多重身份的背景下过渡到成年。这项建议将煽动，发展和促进理论的交叉经验，生命历程和叙述，这隐藏的人口在一个整体的水平，以及这些特点如何相互关联。采用混合方法的方法，该提案将在第一阶段采用在线问卷;通过此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“隐藏社区”提供重要的见解。第二阶段将涉及深入访谈，以便就所提供支助的性质、做出过渡性决定的过程以及黑人和少数民族残疾青年生活经历中多重身份的影响等方面的各种叙述进行全面叙述。

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.
