Explorations of Care and Care Injustice in the Everyday Lives of Irish Traveller Children
Devine, Dympna; McGillicuddy, Deirdre
Gender and Education, v31 n5 p618-630 2019
This paper draws on exploratory research with Irish Traveller children. Using photographs taken by the children themselves to foreground both the 'good' things and 'things they would like to change' in their everyday lives, issues of family, home and, connectedness, love, and care emerged alongside deeply embedded (and embodied) experiences ofexclusion, surveillance and retraction in the children's interaction with the majority settled community. The paper conceptualises the children's representations and narratives (both performed and spoken) through the lens of care injustice. In so doing it presents a counter-narrative to deficit constructs of Traveller identity through the lens of Traveller children's voice, articulating not only the value of listening to children but also the power of visual methods in accessing their truths.
