BackgroundMaternal death auditing is widely used to ascertain in-depth information on the clinical, social, cultural, and other contributing factors that result in a maternal death. As the 2015 deadline for Millennium Development Goal 5 of reducing maternal mortality by three quarters between 1990 and 2015 draws near, this information becomes even more critical for informing intensified maternal mortality reduction strategies. Studies using maternal death audit methodologies are widely available, but few discuss the challenges in their implementation. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the methodological issues that arose while conducting maternal death review research in Lilongwe, Malawi.MethodsCritical reflections were based on a recently conducted maternal mortality study in Lilongwe, Malawi in which a facility-based maternal death review approach was used. The five-step maternal mortality surveillance cycle provided the framework for discussion. The steps included: 1) identification of cases, 2) data collection, 3) data analysis, 4) recommendations, and 5) evaluation.ResultsChallenges experienced were related to the first three steps of the surveillance cycle. They included: 1) identification of cases: conflicting maternal death numbers, and missing medical charts, 2) data collection: poor record keeping, poor quality of documentation, difficulties in identifying and locating appropriate healthcare workers for interviews, the potential introduction of bias through the use of an interpreter, and difficulties with locating family and community members and recall bias; and 3) data analysis: determining the causes of death and clinical diagnoses.ConclusionConducting facility-based maternal death reviews for the purpose of research has several challenges. This paper illustrated that performing such an activity, particularly the data collection phase, was not as easy as conveyed in international guidelines and in published studies. However, these challenges are not insurmountable. If they are anticipated and proper steps are taken in advance, they can be avoided or their effects minimized.

“…Members of the post-crisis generation further emphasized the futility of focusing closely on macroeconomic fluctuations by expressing frustration with how intensely their parents heeded the warnings implicit in the discourse of cyclical crisis. Respondents gave voice to these frustrations during the casual conversations that we often engaged in after I had turned the recorder off and the interview was officially over, a potentially analytically significant moment when some respondents took the opportunity to explore what motivated their stance of distancing (Warren et al, 2003 ). They described vivid memories of the 2001–2002 crisis as a time when their parents suffered devastating financial losses and could talk about little else.…”

Risky businesses: economic crisis in Argentina and the generative power of generations

How are risk orientations shaped in the sphere of work beyond proximate structuring institutions? In the absence of clear organizational imperatives or institutional supports, what provides the broad contours of a workable imaginary? Using interview data from small business owners in Argentina, I show that the form and content of generational memories of crisis influence the uptake of entrepreneurial discourse and apprehensions of economic risk. Older business owners draw upon their collective memory of the 2001–2002 economic crisis to engage in a process of adversarial personification that posits the macroeconomy as a cunning enemy and positions them as strategic actors. Conversely, younger small business owners—who did not live through these economic shocks as small business owners—draw upon the entrepreneurial ethos that they collectively cultivate through generational communities of practice to engage in a process of empowered distancing that minimizes the severity of economic crisis. Using Kenneth Burke’s theoretical schema to identify grammars of motive and action, I show how older business owners deploy a generationally shared narrative to develop a conceptualization of economic agency that does not derive from the entrepreneurial ethos. By arguing that collective memory generates economic subject positions, this article demonstrates that the “use value” of collective memory lies not only in its uptake by politicians, journalists, and activists engaged in political projects, but also in the everyday ways that economic actors use narratives about the past to develop strategies of risk management in the present.

“…The in-depth or unstructured interview creates an opportunity for open-ended detailed responses (Patton, 2002) and is typically defined as a type of conversation. It is a professional conversation (Kvale, 1996), an unfolding story that is conversational in style (Charmaz, 2000), a special kind of conversation (Warren, Barnes-Brus, Burgess, Wiebold-Lippisch, Hackney, Harkness et al, 2003), a speech event guided by conversational turn-taking (Mishler, 1991), a free-flowing conversation (Burns, 2000), and a conversation with a purpose (Burgess, 1998).…”

First I give my gratitude, thanks and appreciation to the participants in the study who gave up their valuable time to talk to me about their work as English language teachers. It was a pleasure and a privilege to listen to their experiences of teaching. Without their contribution to this study, there would be no thesis.I gratefully acknowledge and sincerely thank my supervisors Professor Marnie O'Neill and Winthrop Professor Anne Chapman for sharing their expertise and experience as researchers and teachers with me. Their gentle encouragement, unwavering support and helpful feedback and suggestions kept me, and the study, going. As a student, I was motivated and inspired by their kindness, support, gentle guidance and belief in me. As a teacher, I learnt much from them about how to motivate and support my students.My gratitude and love go to my partner, Ilan, for his constant support and unwavering belief in me.Finally, my thanks to the rest of my family Ryan, Mel, and Pauline for love, laughter and support.
