The Value of Multi-sited Ethnography for Researching and Informing Effective Adoption Education in the United States

In the School of Education and Sociology, we offer a dynamic environment for the study and research of issues relating to childhood and education in its broadest sense, from aspects relating to (young) children’s learning and development, BME, gender, special needs, (cyber)bullying and mental health, to pedagogy and teaching and learning in post-16 and HE settings.Current research projects include collaborative work with local charities and councils on projects to do with young careleavers, cyberbullying, social and emotional aspects in relation to learning in schools and early years settings.We host a programme of seminars throughout the year and an annual conference.www.port.ac.uk/secs

Research Seminar:  The Value of Multi-sited Ethnography for Researching and Informing Effective Adoption Education in the United States
Abstract:  This talk summarizes the results of a ten-year, multi-sited ethnographic project that used qualitative research along Russian-U.S. adoption pipelines to effectively inform adoption education programs for parents in California. Topics discussed include the importance of translating the geopolitics of adoption regions to prospective adoptive parents; centering a cross-cultural understanding of attachment socialization and expression within the adoption process; and focusing on how individual and holistic well-being of post-adoptive family members can be achieved.
