Both have their own historical developments, literatures, issues and concerns; both have been influenced by Peter’s substantial works for close to fifty years – a period in time when the inc...
Article
This paper presents some initial ideas on how the theoretical concepts of the ‘insider’ and the ‘outsider’ might be re-examined in an era where advances in comparative, qualitative research methodologies seek to be more inclusive, collaborative, participatory, reflexive and nuanced. Earlier essentialist definitions of the outsider as detached and o...

Prompted to some degree by policies and concerns promoted by the European Union, and the Council of Europe, the set of issues now widely termed ‘work-life balance’ is much discussed in academic and policy circles in the United Kingdom and in Germany. It is also moving up the agenda of British and German employers and trade unions. The range of issu...
Article
The research project reported here arose out of questions we had in relation to time pressures, increasingly heavy workloads and concerns that we were, it seemed to us, neglecting our families and friends. We kept on asking ourselves: how do people manage? Open University students, for example, most of whom are working full-time, have families and...
