Postgraduates and early career researchers are invited to propose papers for this one day workshop. Voluntarism in the domestic sphere presents particular methodological and evidential challenges. We welcome papers that discuss the speaker’s experience addressing these issues in their own research on charity and the home. The aim of the event is to encourage an open and friendly forum for discussion on problems and possible solutions that researchers have encountered or anticipate, and for collective discussion on possible solutions and methodologies. Submissions are invited from all periods and locations. Papers might address the relationship between charity and the home in diverse ways:
• Charity emanating from the home, e.g., the home as a location for fundraising, a place for coordinating charity, the locus of collective action by families or neighbours
• Charity targeting the home, e.g., social work, religious outreach, benevolent funds), or as charity for those rejected from the home, e.g., unmarried mothers, foundlings
• Charity as the home, e.g., almshouses, nursing homes, hospices, or places of refuge and boarding
Proposals of up to 300 words (and any informal queries) should be e-mailed to Stephen Soanes at workshops@vahs.org.uk by 10 February 2010.
