Exploring non-participation in PES Sample Clauses

Exploring non-participation in PES. An overview of this thesis This thesis explores PES from the perspectives of those who do not usually participate in such activities: the ‘non-visitors’, the ‘excluded’, those for whom public engagement with science is not necessarily ‘public’. In order to do so, building on the contributions of the various literatures outlined briefly above, this study took an in-depth, exploratory approach to understanding non-participation in PES in terms of the contexts of people’s lives, their social positions, attitudes, experiences as well as exploring specific PES experiences with the research participants. This study contributes to theoretical and methodological aspects of research about PES. As suggested above, existing research on PES has been narrowly framed, such that those excluded from PES have also been under-researched. This study expands the theoretical reach of PES research by drawing on PES research as well as research from several adjacent fields. The theoretical framework of this study combines sociological theories about cultural participation and the reproduction social inequalities from the work of Xxxxxxxx, with intersectional theories about the influence of identity and social position, including the role of migration, on participation and social disadvantage. These theoretical perspectives are also combined with existing research on PES, including theories of learning in PES contexts. This study was designed to be exploratory and as a result, it should be noted that it is not comprehensive. For example, rather than working with people in rural areas, since their limited involvement with PES activities can be considered to stem, at least partially, from their location, this study recruited participants from Southwark, a central London borough, who had a plethora of PES opportunities on their doorstep with which they were not involved. Instead of systematically investigating the experiences of people from the different social groups that do not participate in PES, following intersectional theories of social disadvantage, I focused on exploring the experiences and attitudes of people who occupied the overlap between disadvantaged socio- economic and minority ethnic backgrounds. In methodological terms, this study took a qualitative, ethnographic approach to exploring non-participation in PES. The study also followed a participatory approach and the research was thus designed flexibly to incorporate the interests and agendas of the research particip...
