“…Braun and Clarke (2006) defined thematic analysis as "a method for identifying, analyzing and reporting patterns (themes) within data" (p. 79). Thematic analysis has been applied in contexts as varied as business (Christ, 1970;Gupta & Levenburg, 2010;Nicholas & McDowall, 2012) to social work (Clark et al, 2023;Labra et al, 2020;O'Connor, 2020), and from military (Hale, 2012;Rafferty et al, 2013;Tunnell, 2015) to peace studies (Almusaly, 2017;De la Rey & McKay, 2006;Matusitz, 2022). Understanding the context is important as it potentially influences communication style and approach (Reboulet & Jackson, 2021).…”

Human suffering is a complex phenomenon that can manifest physically or psychologically. As the negative valence of affective phenomena, with the positive being pleasure or happiness, human suffering could easily be interpreted as something to avoid. Sartre explored existential aspects of human suffering in Being and Nothingness. Examining each occurrence of the word suffering in that work provides a basis for understanding the roles Sartre assigned to it within the human experience and consequently provides a more nuanced appreciation of this complex phenomenon. An electronic copy of Being and Nothingness was searched for all occurrences of the word suffering (N = 50), tabularized using the Key Word In Context (KWIC) approach at the sentence level, resulting in 40 sentences for thematic analysis. That analysis resulted in 5 themes, showing the complexity of suffering in Sartre's major philosophical work and suggesting that suffering is quintessentially human, unavoidable, and potentially liberating.

“Somebody has to be crazy about that kid”: Speculating on the transformative recordkeeping potential of the caring corporate parent

Just as archival scholarship has increasingly engaged in conversations around care and holistic considerations of the agency of records subjects, the child welfare systems of the modern Western world have been moving towards conversations that aim to centre and celebrate the voice of the child in new and important ways. However, too often are these conversations held back by the enormity of the issue and the overhaul that would have to take place for philosophy to match with practice. In this paper, I suggest that part of the problem is that we have been trying to make these changes philosophy first, placing a new way of thinking on top of an old way of doing—an approach that will never generate change. Leaning in to using speculation to imagine what the new recordkeeping of a caring system might look like, I propose that the act of recordkeeping is the fulcrum that could make caring child welfare a reality and illustrate some of the avenues through which we might pursue instigating the systemic changes needed if we are to see the agency and perspectives of children prioritised in child welfare and protection practices.
