Situating Everyday First Aid: Social Practices and Settings of Incidents and Help. With the British Red Cross.
The project investigates the social organisation of first aid. The research will focus on the social and institutional settings within which first aid ‘incidents’ occur and how these settings influence the kinds of ‘responses’ and forms of help that follow.
The aim is to provide a better understanding of accidents, risks, and harms by positioning first aid incidents not as random events but as embedded in the spatial and temporal ordering of social practices and social life. The project is designed to generate further understanding of the social organisation of help and what this means for those involved in developing and providing first aid training.
Deadline for applications: 9th February 2018
