Findings
Mary Hamilton and Yvonne Hillier are currently writing a book based on the findings from this project which will be published by Trentham books later this year. We intend to add material to this website over the next few months which will give a flavour of the analysis methods we have used and summaries of the findings. Meanwhile please go the final report to the ESRC which contains an overview of our findings.
On these pages we will present summaries of our findings under short topics that can be browsed easily. Click on the headings below to navigate between the topics that interest you. We will be updating these pages regularly as our analysis proceeds. Each page will offers an overview of the topic plus ideas of where to look for further resources and information.
