Homeless Mothers' Experience of Caregiving in Dublin, Ireland

该项目将调查“照顾”如何塑造无家可归的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救助努力为她们所爱的人实现“美好生活”。这将涉及对都柏林无家可归母亲的两个住宿服务进行参与观察研究，这两个服务满足不同年龄的需要，并分别提供短期或长期住宿。将两个实地工作地点结合起来，将能够比较无家可归者在不同阶段的生活情况，以及母亲/子女关系的暂时性。

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.
