Death in the family in urban Senegal
This research project provides the first in-depth understanding of responses to death, care and family relations in urban Africa.
Our focus is the diverse ways in which people live and experience their personal lives and relationships. We take a comprehensive view, which incorporates material and socio-cultural contexts into the emotional dynamics of families and relationships.
The programme is interdisciplinary in approach and the theoretical focus is wide ranging, encompassing: personal relationships, inter-subjectivity, relationality, autonomy and connectedness care, emotion, memory and representations power, control and resources legislation, policy-making and welfare practice.
