Milton Keynes, United Kingdom The Open University UK Full time

**Unit**: Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies (WELS)
**Salary**: Stipend £19,237
**Location**: Milton Keynes
**Please quote reference**: AHRC/Studentship
**Closing Date**: 20 May, 2024 - 17:00

The **Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies**, **Open University** and the **Museum of the Home** are pleased to announce the availability of a fully funded Collaborative doctoral studentship **October 2024** under the** AHRC’s** **Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP) scheme**.**

The proposed research studentship addresses the relationship between un/making of home and multigenerational family living in 21st century East London (for full project details, details of award and eligibility read below).

This project will be jointly supervised by Dr Manik Gopinath, Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies, The Open University and Ms Danielle Patten, Museum of the Home. The student will be expected to spend time at both The Open University and the Museum of the Home, as well as becoming part of the wider cohort of CDP funded students across the UK.

**PROJECT OVERVIEW**

Living multigenerationally is a long-practiced way of life for many Asian minority ethnic groups in England but there is an increase in multigenerational living across all other ethnic groups with some growing faster than others. Multigenerational households comprise, ‘...people from across more than two generations of the same extended family living together’ (Census 2021). This research studentship addresses the relationship between un/making of home (Baxter and Brickell, 2014) and multigenerational family living in 21st century East London. Exploring why and how different members create, experience, materialize, and display home, this studentship will foreground multiple ways and experiences of un/making of home for different ages, generations, and genders - to deepen, expand, diversify, and challenge current ideas of home.

East London has and continues to be home to many diverse communities (Wessendorf,2019). For some of these communities, such as, from south-Asian ethnicities, living multigenerationally is a recognised living arrangement. However, this is under-researched. The proposed studentship in extending knowledge of the dynamics of multigenerational living and experiences of home in such households will contribute to Museum of the Home’s priorities in relation to deepening, expanding, diversifying, and challenging current ideas of home and to better reflect their local communities (e.g., Bangladeshi, Vietnamese, Jewish). More widely, the current increase in multigenerational households across all ethnic groups in the UK, indicates a shifting landscape of living arrangements. Interestingly, as per census, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Indian households with the highest multi-generational households (between 6-9%) have seen a small reduction between 2011 and 2021. In contrast, there have been increases for Caribbean, Other Black; Gypsy or Irish Travelers, and other white households as well as marginal increases for those from British nations, Mixed or Multiple Ethnic Groups, Arab and other ethnic groups (in the range of 0.2 - 0.9%). Yet a preliminary review reveals little empirical research regarding the everyday experience of multi-generational living for diverse cultures in the UK.

The proposed research offers a unique opportunity for an in-depth examination of how different generations within the same family are managing what for some communities is a long-practiced way of life, and for others a move away from a traditional and/or a move towards a new lifestyle. This will involve research with two diverse East London communities, including the Bangladeshi community.

**Research questions include**:

- What factors have underpinned changes in household structure in England since World War 2?
- What factors (e.g., cultural, socio-economic, religious) influence un/making of current multigenerational homes?
- How does age, gender and generation inform creating, adapting, and experiencing home?
- What are the physical/spatial and temporal aspects of co-residence? Do they change over time (daily, weekly, on-going)?
- Do diasporic home-making practices (e.g., faith) cascade between generations?
- What tensions exist between group and individual living impacting on: routines, aesthetics, display, objects, sounds, cooking, un/tidiness, play; accessibility; labour and leisure; gardening; how are these negotiated?
- When, where and how do certain family members influence the un/making of home?

Through in-depth empirical research the studentship will contribute to Museum of the Home’s collections and displays and to the academic body of knowledge on home. The student will be encouraged to refine the project and methodological focus to reflect their interests, linguistic expertise, and career aspirations. Potential methods:

- **Secondary/archival analysis** of data sources post World War 2 onw
