Despite this, the needs of the youth are rarely factored into development plans. This is a major obstacle to the sustainable and inclusive development of places. Examining potential pathways to correct this issue, this paper presents the findings of research conducted with young people from the Market area of Belfast. The research engaged with two groups (<i>n</i> = 11) in a participatory investigation of how young people engage with the built environment. Using several participatory methods, including narrative walkabouts, mapping exercises and semi-structured group interviews, the children engaged as co-researchers. We link to idea of ‘third places’ to frame our analysis, demonstrating how children in the Market community have strong opinions of how space is, and should be, designed and managed. We reveal interesting dynamics regarding the children's perceived exclusion from the city centre and concerns about how poor planning is harming their community's public health. We conclude by reflecting upon some of the children's proposed solutions, as well as by presenting two outcomes of our study that hint at the potential future role of young people in co-designing the built environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":47660,"journal":{"name":"Children & Society","volume":"38 5","pages":"1602-1621"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/chso.12827","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138715862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using binary logistic regression, we examine the links between fathers' work schedules, the need for additional school support for children and an increase in father involvement. We compare father involvement in children's education and childcare before and during the lockdown. Our findings partially corroborate the ‘needs exposure’ theory, which holds that greater awareness of family needs can boost fathers' engagement. Furthermore, they emphasize that, given the high likelihood of upcoming pandemics and other crises affecting family life, considerable steps should be taken to promote gender equality in the family and the workplace.

{"title":"The culture trap: Ethnic expectations and unequal schooling for Black youthBy Derron Wallace, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2023, pp. 296. £74.00. ISBN: 9780197531464","authors":"Garth Stahl","doi":"10.1111/chso.12821","DOIUrl":"10.1111/chso.12821","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Culture Trap: Ethnic Expectations and Unequal Schooling for Black Youth&lt;/i&gt; by Derron Wallace is a provocative, cohesive and deeply engrossing monograph. It is a powerful—and at times confronting—story which makes an important contribution to the scholarship on ethnicity and education. The research is steeped deeply in history with a clear agenda for the future. Effortlessly blending historical facts, government policies, sociological theory and insightful vignettes, Wallace presents a nuanced analysis which compels the reader to reflect on the interplay between ‘culture’, race and academic outcomes. It presents a dynamic argument regarding the need for more cross-national studies which challenge assumptions regarding cultural conditions. At the heart of the book is the voice of Black Caribbean young people navigating various cultural constraints, as well as the overt and subtle ethnic expectations, present in their lifeworlds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The monograph provides a critical overview of the key debates regarding the role ethnicity (and ethnic profiling), has played in the schooling of the Black Caribbean diaspora, as an ethno-racial group. The data presented draws from a longitudinal comparative ethnographic research study conducted in the United States and the United Kingdom. When I first began reading &lt;i&gt;The Culture Trap&lt;/i&gt;, what struck me is how assiduous Wallace is at navigating the tricky terrain of analysing ethnicity and learner identities while interweaving the voices of young people, teachers and parents. As we are all aware, the ethnicization of educational achievement can often be a muddled picture. It remains a notably difficult area to theorise. For Wallace, this is not the case. Building on definitive work by Stuart Hall, John Ogbu, Signithia Fordham and others, Wallace astutely hones his critique building an exacting picture of culture and anti-racism in the lives of the Black Caribbean diaspora. As I read, I was drawn into a narrative which vacillated between key historical moments and powerful ethnographic details as Wallace builds an evocative case for why we must take a closer look at the lives of the Black Caribbean diaspora and their relationship to education.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ethnic Expectations&lt;/i&gt; centres around a key problematic: Black Caribbean students in the United States seemed to have quite different educational experiences than Black Caribbean students in the United Kingdom. What Wallace skilfully does is explore the phenomenon with an attention to culture(s)—the culture of schooling, racist societal cultural discourses, the culture of bigotry of low expectations in education, the culture present in Black supplementary schooling, the familial culture, etc. This is central to how he positions an argument where we must examine the situational contexts but also the cultural strategies Black Caribbean adopt to overcome structural disadvantage. Wallace defines this as the culture trap, an ‘alluring yet ensnaring set of logics","PeriodicalId":47660,"journal":{"name":"Children & Society","volume":"38 2","pages":"727-728"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/chso.12821","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138545151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
