Abstract:
Although it guarantees individual religious freedom and the inviolability of “human dignity,” the German Basic Law also infers the principle ofstate neutralityregarding the exercise of religious freedom in public life and civil service domains. TheLänder(states), however, enjoy substantial discretion in matters of religion and education, which has led to major divisions as to whetherMuslimas(Muslim women) can wear headscarves aspublicemployees. In 2006 Berlin adopted its own Neutrality Law (Berliner Neutralitätsgesetz) prohibiting religious attire among teachers, judges, and police. Within weeks, the city-state's first anti-discrimination officer was overwhelmed with new discrimination cases involving private sector employers as well. This essay examines the tensions and paradoxes inherent in Berlin's efforts to uphold religious “neutrality” among civil servants while also meeting the requirements of Germany's General Equal Treatment Act and three recent EU Directives 2000/43/EC, 2000/78/EC, and 2002/73/EG), addressing race, religion and equal treatment in employment, respectively. This article argues that the Neutrality Law not only violates national and supranational anti-discrimination regulations but that local officials are actually drawing upon the latter to undermine the enforcement of their own statute, in the hope that it will be repealed.

Abstract:
The rise of urbanisation in colonial Zambia particularly on the Copperbelt province is associated with the discovery of minerals in the early 1900s. The widespread discovery of minerals and exploitation of the same minerals required labour both skilled and unskilled labour. Skilled labour was drawn from overseas while unskilled labour was available from the local population. During the colonial period, the predominant labour force on the mines were men while women were by law were not allowed to enter towns during the early years of urbanization or to take residence in urban areas anywhere in the country. Early researchers commented that early African migration to mine towns essentialised as men’s wage work, depended on agricultural and reproductive labour performed by women, who officially remained in rural areas. Local labour migrations were highly restricted and employment of women in urban areas was scarce or none existent in the initial stages of urbanisation. Skilled and none skilled labour for women employees on the mines initially did not exist in the colonial period because they (women) were not viewed as important labourers needed for production in the mines. This restriction of women in urban areas created a legacy of gender inequalities in almost all the sectors of labour employment and more so in the mining sector during the colonial period. Consequently, one can argue that since the colonial period to date, women have been a minority group in the mines occupying low positions in their majority compared to men and very few women hold executive positions in the mining sector. Employment during the colonial period was not easily found due to clear discrimination. The end result of this type of discrimination in employment resulted in few or no women at all in some instances in the mines. With passage of time, women were allowed into towns and on the mines but formal jobs for women were difficult to find. The current state of gender inequalities in the mines in Zambia today is a carryover from the colonial period. Currently, training institutions for mine workers such as universities, colleges and technical institute are still dominated by male students. The above situation eventually results into a gendered labour force in the mines with men occupying highly skilled jobs while women dominate the low skilled and non-skilled jobs in mining conglomerates. The current gender inequalities on the mines are historically embedded in the mines as patriarchal institutions owned and ran by the same men. Consequently, very few women are in the executive positions in mines and even very few do own mines.

Abstract:
This paper established prevalence of the characteristics in the shoplifting crimes and determined the supermarket operators’ perception of the effects of shoplifting crimes on society. The study was guided by three objectives: to establish offender characteristics of the shoplifting crimes, to establish prevalence of the characteristics in the shoplifting crimes and to determine the supermarket operators’ perception of the effects of shoplifting crimes on society. The study was guided by Rational Choice and the Routine Activity Theories. The study used a census sampling technique with a sample size of a hundred respondents. These included 90 junior employees of Tuskys, Uchumi and Naivas Supermarkets, 3 branch managers, 3 police officers within the area of the study and 4 officials of the Nairobi Supermarkets Association. Interview schedule was used to collect data. Data collected was organized, summarized and interpreted thematically by use of graphs, frequency tables, and percentages. The findings revealed that the prevalence of shoplifting was 1-2 incidences in a week. The results also revealed that the most commonly used method was concealing of items which were majorly done by women. Further, whereas there are other types of shoplifters, a concern raised by 30% of the respondents is that significant number of criminals has made shoplifting a career. This should inform policy makers, especially in this era of unprecedented unemployment. Additionally, as indicated by 55% of the respondents, staff colluded with criminals to steal from the supermarkets. This should appeal to supermarket operators as this may have an implication on supermarket businesses in the CBD. The study recommends several target hardening strategies to counter shoplifting crimes that included using high Radio-frequency identification (RFID) and Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) programmed surveillance and records linked to the law enforcement through alarm trigger alerts in case of suspicious activities, with high-quality identifiable traceable images of shoplifters, to local law enforcement agencies.

Abstract:
The existence of domestic workers or better known as domestic helpers is no stranger to the lives of Indonesian people, both in cities and in villages.The formulation of the problem in this study is: What is the Legal Position of Domestic Workers (PRT) in the Work Law in Indonesia? How are cases of domestic workers (PRT) resolved? What is the need for special arrangements for domestic workers (PRT) in the law.The method used is a normative research method which is a scientific research procedure to find the truth based on legal scientific logic from the normative side Legal Position of Domestic Workers (Prt) in Indonesian Work Law. Domestic workers are definitively recognized for their legal position as workers as referred to in Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. According to Article 86 paragraph 1 of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning manpower, it is stated that: “Every worker/labor has the right to obtain protection for (a) occupational safety and health, (b) morals and decency; and (c) treatment in accordance with human dignity and religious values. The consensus deliberation process is carried out between domestic workers and their employers and/or domestic service providers as the simplest step to resolve disputes. Deliberations were taken for the first time without the involvement of local government officials. However, if necessary, local government officials can serve as witnesses in the deliberations. In making decisions through deliberation to reach consensus, time is limited so that it does not drag on and a sense of justice is fulfilled in an effort to provide legal certainty for the parties The need for special arrangements for home workersDomestic workers (PRT) are an important source of livelihood for women and men in Southeast Asia. Because the work is done within the household and is considered informal work, there are no regulations governing it, and as a result it often goes unnoticed. This is a category of work that is in dire need of legal and social protection, as its workers are vulnerable to harassment and exploitation during recruitment and placement, during work, and upon return to their place of origin. This paper summarizes the main problems faced by domestic workers, as well as the obstacles experienced in obtaining their rights.

Abstract:
The articles consider the regulation of certain issues of organization and activity of elected officials of local governments and district state administrations. Attention is paid to the rules of training an electoral employee in local self-government bodies, namely the regulation of the legal status and appointment procedure. Relevant volumes of powers of an elected official of a local self-government body are singled out. It was found that the current Law of Ukraine "On Prevention of Corruption" provides for the mandatory conduct of a special inspection only for local government officials of the first - third categories of positions. That is, for chairmen, deputies (first deputies) of chairmen of regional councils, chairmen of district (district in cities) councils, first deputies and deputy mayors (cities - regional centers) on issues of activity of executive bodies of council, secretaries of city (cities - regional centers) councils special inspection is mandatory, as they hold positions of the first - third categories. In other cases, local government officials should be subject to special scrutiny only if their positions are classified as positions of responsibility or special responsibility and positions with a high risk of corruption. The list of such positions was to be approved by the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption. However, as of today, such a document has not been adopted and, accordingly, there is no legal basis to pass such a special inspection of persons holding positions in local governments of the fourth category and below. At the same time, it should be noted that in practice there are many cases when these persons undergo a special examination voluntarily, at their own request.

Abstract:
AbstractAs a result of multiple waves of administrative reforms in the past three decades, China's civil service has become more professionalized. Yet public employees appear to have become increasingly dissatisfied in recent years. Based on questionnaire surveys and interviews with environmental enforcement officials in a southern city, this paper traces changes in the job satisfaction levels of these officials between 2000 and 2014. It shows that satisfaction with the extrinsic rewards received and overall job satisfaction declined during this period. These downward trends partly reflected the increasingly challenging institutional environments faced by the officials: rising political and societal demands, inadequate fiscal and personnel resources, and limited enforcement authority. In addition, as the officials became more highly educated and professionalized, mission match became a stronger antecedent of job satisfaction. These findings suggest the importance of meeting the motivational needs of a more professionalized workforce.

Abstract:
The impact of COVID-19 on China's social and economic development is unprecedented, and China's finance is tight. In order to deal with this situation, China has adopted the method of strengthening fiscal savings. Many regional governments have responded to the call and started to reduce employees' salaries. At present, people do not know the reason for the pay reduction by local governments, the working conditions of local government officials, the factors affecting their enthusiasm for work, whether it is caused by the pay reduction or other factors, and what logical relationship exists within it. Firstly, through literature analysis, this paper abstracts the influencing factors of local government pay reduction; Secondly, interview public officials; Finally, through the analysis of the interview results, can understand the current situation of public officials' work after the salary reduction, and extract the factors that affect the enthusiasm of public officials. In order to further provide a reference for the Guangzhou government, effectively improve the enthusiasm of local government officials and help the full development of government departments. In addition, this study attempts to provide some reference for the interaction between government departments and public officials.

Abstract:
After 1994, the democratic South Africa passed a number of legislations in order to address the imbalances of the previous apartheid regime. The new South African government had a special mandate to provide appropriate services to all the citizens of the country. In 1995 the government formulated the White Paper on the Transformation of the Public Service. The aim was to transform the South African public service, which is the indication of the importance of service delivery, as the key machinery of the government to equalize service delivery to all citizens. In 1996 the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa anchored the Bill of Rights as the cornerstone of democracy that enshrines the rights of all people and affirms the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom. In chapter ten of the Constitution stipulates the basic values and principles governing public administration. The White Paper on Transformation of Public Service was followed by White Paper on Transforming Service Delivery in 1997 (Batho Pele White Paper) which provided a policy framework and practical implementation strategy for the more efficient , effective and equitable provision of public service. The Batho Pele White Paper signalled the adoption of a citizen oriented approach on service delivery informed by eight principles: consultation, service standard, access, courtesy, information, openness and transparency, redress and value for money. This study focuses on the investigation on the implementation of Batho Pele Principles in the Department of Labour: Port Elizabeth. The main objectives of the study are: To provide an overview of the Batho-Pele principles in relation to service delivery. To investigate the importance of implementing the Batho-Pele principles in the department of Labour, Port Elizabeth. To identify challenges affecting the implementation of the Batho-Pele principles in the Department of Labour, Port Elizabeth. To investigate the importance of implementing the Batho Pele principles in the Department of Labour: Port Elizabeth and to identify challenges affecting the implementation. In this study a sample of three units was selected to conduct research in the Department of Labour, Port Elizabeth. The units were frontline Services, Beneficiary Services and Enforcement Inspection Services. The reason for choosing these sections is because they are directly involved in serving clients. A sample of 20 officials was drawn from these units. A quantitative method of data collection and analysis was followed. The main findings of the study were firstly, that the Department of Labour officials are aware of the Batho Pele principles. Based on the findings, they are not sure of the compliance of the policies. This means that the implementation of the Batho Pele principles has gaps that need to be addressed. Officials indicate that they need attention because they are the tools of operation. They register a low morale that needs to be addressed by the Department. The dissemination of information needs to be improved and communication with the clients of the Department should be done oin all languages so that clients can clearly understand the services offered by the Department of Labour.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to investigate why it was deemed necessary to train and localise the public and private sectors by the Swaziland government. The efforts began shortly before Swaziland attained independence in 1968. Many of the initiative to localisation started in pre-colonial Swaziland in 1966 leading to independence. The study also examined the drawbacks to training and localisation and how these were overcome. Swaziland inherited and was strongly dependent upon a strongly entrenched cadre of top-level public service and private administrators who were expatriates. The study also examined how far localisation has gone to date.

Abstract:
AbstractUsing Ghana, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Senegal as case studies, this chapter elucidates the dynamics of trade and women empowerment in Africa through a qualitative analysis that involved focus group discussions (FGDs) and key informant interviews (KIIs) with managers and employers, and employees of SMEs, as well as government officials and Trade Support Organizations (TSOs). After presenting the operational context of trade and economic performance in the four candidate countries, the barriers to women’s participation in trade are discussed using the PESTLE framework. Our qualitative analysis shows that cross-cutting factors that influence job creation for women across the trade sectors include the nature of work, job demands in terms of physical strength and timing, and working conditions of employees. The chapter argues that trade has the potential to empower women. However, if finds that various challenges prevent women from maximizing the gains from trade and proposes that a strong public–private partnership is necessary for trade to lead to women empowerment.

Abstract:
Young couples, singly or together, could also choose to give up their baby to the local foundling hospital (the Hôtel-Dieu), seek to terminate a late term pregnancy, engage in situational infanticide by not providing essential newborn care, or more actively induce the newborn’s death. Single parents could negotiate with the Hôtel-Dieu staff months ahead of the babies’ due dates to make arrangements. Social welfare officials supported young women and held young men and male employers responsible, much as courts and communities did. They sought to discipline only women who were regarded as promiscuous. Court records and surgeons’ reports demonstrate that many late term terminations or post-natal newborn deaths were met with communal silence. Official reports of the finding of dead newborn cadavers around the city highlight how communal complicity, whether tacit silence or active assistance, enabled young people to deal with untimely pregnancies in a host of ways.

Abstract This chapter explains how the US military's concerns surrounding rising venereal disease (VD) rates immediately on their arrival in southern Korea created two crucial precursors in the making of the Amerasian. First, it spatially mapped out the camptown, a tightly controlled space around US military installations where the sexual activities of troops were strictly curated. Second, the VD control regime encouraged military officials to see all Korean women working in close proximity to US bases as likely prostitutes and therefore VD carriers whose interactions with soldiers needed to be strictly monitored. This stereotyping of Korean women blurred the lines between camptown local, civilian employee, girlfriend, bride, and prostitute and would become very important in denying marriages between US servicemen and Korean women, separating mixed race families, and justifying adoption practices.

Abstract:
Chapter 9 studies women’s participation in public protests and acts of civil disobedience, including riots. It shows how threats to the integrity of the household and community, such as increased demands for tribute and labor, disputes over land and natural resources, and Spanish attempts to remove local officials from office, led men and women to seek legal redress, to protest, and at times to rebel against colonial authorities. The chapter traces women’s efforts to organize acts of resistance, such as the refusal to pay tribute, and their leadership roles in local riots. While women did not hold political office, they were aware of controversies over lands, resources, and legal suits to protect these assets. Chapter 9 argues that women’s participation in efforts to defend their homes, communities, and allies reveals a broader consciousness that has been overlooked or underestimated in previous studies.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 examines the first tests of Radegund’s two strategies for protecting Sainte-Croix through three examples. First, it traces Radegund’s pursuit and installation of a prestigious relic at Sainte-Croix, over the hostile objections of her local bishop, through the support of kings, emperors, and more prominent bishops. Second, the chapter recalls the absence of this hostile bishop from Radegund’s funeral and how the Sainte-Croix’s Abbess Agnes calls on Gregory of Tours for assistance. And third, it examines the struggles of Leubovera, first abbess after the death of Sainte-Croix’s “founding generation,” as she dealt with an extensive rebellion within Sainte-Croix. All three of these women succeed over their local officials or rivals through the support of Frankish kings and bishops, whose alliances Radegund had established and subsequent leaders in the monastery cultivated.

Abstract:
In the paper, the author explains the concept of management, as a specific continuous activity of connecting higher parties in the process of performing public affairs. The management of human resources in local self-government is part of a wider process, which means the management of human resources in public administration. Public administration is a broader term than the term state administration, as it means all those performing administrative activities, both within the state organizational structure (administrative bodies and other state bodies authorized to perform administrative activities), and outside it (non-state subjects with public powers), and not only state administration bodies as performers of administrative activities. The human resources analyzed in this paper are public servants in local self-government, as determined by the Law on Employees in Autonomous Provinces and Local Self-Government Units. Local officials perform tasks that are important for the successful functioning of local self-government and the realization of the rights and obligations of the citizens who live there. Their labor- legal position is characterized by a labor-legal element and an administrative-legal element, where the former predominates. The Law on Employees in Autonomous Provinces and Local Self-Government Units specifically regulates the management of human resources in local self-government. Thus, it is stated that the employer organizes human resource management tasks separately. Human resource management tasks are performed for all organizational units. The author advocates establishing the term "human potential management" as more adequate than the term "human resources management", considering that local officials are an essential element, without which the functioning of local self-government for the benefit of citizens would be impossible.

Abstract:
The vast majority of campaigns and elections in the United States occur at the state and local levels and include everything from gubernatorial and big-city mayoral contests to local ordinances. Although much attention is on presidential contests, it is at the local and state levels that much public policy and many decisions that affect everyday life are made. The United States is truly the land of elections, with nearly 520,000 elected officials throughout the country. More women than ever are involved in elected office. Judicial elections are becoming similar to those of regular political candidates. Congressional incumbents rarely lose when they are up for re-election.

Abstract:
The author examines the dependence and impact of the distribution of powers of local governments, the content of their functions, activities and tasks in the context of the formation of professional competence, professionalism and professional mobility of officials as subjects of labor and activity. The main idea of the article is that in Ukraine there is now a separation of local government from state. This exacerbates the problem of redistribution and separation of functions and, accordingly, tasks and powers, which will be reflected in the substantive characteristics of professionalism and professional mobility of officials as their current professional qualities. The subject of the study is the impact of decentralization, the process of transformation of public administration on the process of professionalization of local government officials. The research methodology consists in the integrated involvement of the following research methods: methods of analysis: system analysis; complex analysis, decompositions, sequential comparison method and logical and dynamic methods; structural and functional method to clarify the basic concepts. The article uses construction methods: system method; methods of forecasting and planning processes, modeling method; method of structuring goals. The abstract-logical method was used for theoretical generalization and formulation of conclusions. The purpose of the study is to develop areas for improving personnel policy in local governments in Ukraine, through meaningful disclosure of the concepts of «human resources», «professional potential», «professionalism», «professional mobility» in relation to the professional group of local government officials, outlines problems and possible approaches to improving these potentials in Ukrainian realities. The result of the article is a set of main areas of development and improvement of personnel policy and activities of the structural unit for staff development in local government, which are designed to develop professional mobility as a modern top quality of officials. The conclusions indicate the need to improve the forms and methods of working with local government officials, the reserve of personnel, the use of mechanisms and principles of formation and implementation of personnel policy in local governments, creating organizational conditions, addressing the issue of rational selection, placement and professional development personnel through a comprehensive assessment of staff, in particular professional potential, including the activity expression of the latter. The time has come for radical changes in the content of training, retraining and advanced training, self-education of local government officials, which would correspond to the new powers and competencies of local governments, based on professional potential and suitability, aimed at achieving high professionalism and professional mobility, including high professional culture. From the author's point of view, it is necessary to provide for the allocation of funds in local budgets for the training of municipal employees in the amount of at least 4% of the salary fund. It is also necessary to strengthen the protection of local government officials from involvement in election campaigns, from unjustified dismissals of officials, in particular in cases where there is a renewal of politicians and leadership of local governments.

Abstract:
The last Somali central government was overthrown in 1991 due to grievances among those who felt they were marginalized from the decision-making process. The same grievances have driven the civil war that started in 1991 and continues to this day. To bring stability to Somalia, genuine reconciliation at the local level is vital. This chapter addresses the mechanisms and prospects for local reconciliation. To identify mechanisms for reconciliation it carried out a survey of 114 people, and conducted three in-depth interviews with current and former officials. To resolve grievances, 59 per cent of survey respondents stated that viable options are: creating a format for power sharing, integrating the security forces, using the media to promote peace, and including women and youth in the reconciliation process; 44 per cent of respondents also supported the establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and ending impunity by establishing an effective system of local justice.

Abstract:
Abstract: Rajasthan pioneered the Panchayati Raj (council of five elected members) Act by providing 50% quota to the women belonging to the marginalized sections under the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj (Second Amendment) Bill, 2008 to improve the political participation of women in the rural local self-government. In this paper, I have analyzed the effects of holding positions in the private and public domains of the elected women representatives (EWRs) and the subtle but powerful practice of caste and gender intersectionalities. Under the constructivist paradigm, the data collected through the semi-structured interview of 22 EWRs and 9 appointed women officials were thematically analyzed. It was found that women are still used as ‘seat warmers’ or ‘proxy’ leaders which highlights the ineffective role of the state. The patriarchal practices perpetrated through caste and gender intersectionalities make women vulnerable to silent violence by recognizing their primary role as domestic workers and caregivers and their veiled faces with silent mouths as ‘present’ in the village office. The instrumental value of the male representatives (MRs) makes the state a perpetrator of this violence. The improved training and accountability of the elected women members in the office and working beyond implementing the government schemes will enable holistic women empowerment. Keywords: Panchayat, elected women representatives, private and public spheres, caste and gender intersectionalities

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION Between 2020 and 2021, MSF’s social sciences team designed and supported implementation of qualitative assessments to better understand community-level outbreak responses and well-being in the context of Covid-19. Assessments were conducted in seven sites, specifically Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Chad, Iraq, Tajikistan, Syria, and Somaliland. Although a single protocol was designed and followed, each site was unique in terms of its setting (e.g. camp, conflict, urban, or rural), who implemented assessments (e.g. field epidemiologists, health promotion staff), timing of implementation (early phase of the pandemic versus late phase), and community involvement. Here we present a synthesis of the assessments to inform future public health responses. METHODS Synthesis involved secondary analysis of qualitative reports over five iterative phases. Phase 1 involved in-depth reading of each report, during which analytic annotation and note-taking took place. In Phase 2, each report was coded inductively. In Phase 3, codes were reviewed, defined, and clustered into initial categories and themes. Phase 4 involved reviewing and refining codes, categories, and themes, and establishing connections. In Phase 5, synthesis findings were organised and written up. The process was managed using the software ATLAS.ti. ETHICS This synthesis is an a posteriori analysis of secondary data. Ethics approval for primary data was granted by officials in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Chad, Iraq, Tajikistan, Syria, and Somaliland and the MSF Ethics Review Board. RESULTS Overall 138, people participated in the assessments, of which 21 (15%) were women. Participants included health workers, community members, traditional healers, chiefs, young people, women’s leaders and local staff. Four themes were identified: 1) exacerbation of pre-existing vulnerabilities and inequalities; 2) disruption of coping mechanisms; 3) awareness of the risks of Covid-19; 4) community as a public health enabler. The pandemic was seen to magnify existing social inequalities and overall health burden. Public health measures to control the spread of Covid-19 often disrupted community coping mechanisms by causing fear of separation and practical challenges around compliance. Awareness of the risks of Covid-19 and understanding of prevention measures were high, with socio-economic costs of compliance relying on external funding and relief. A community led intervention for effective public health controls varied between sites, depending on previous outbreak experiences (e.g. Ebola and tuberculosis), and/or settings experiencing protracted conflict (e.g. Syria, and Iraq). CONCLUSION Our synthesis illustrates syndemic effects of the pandemic. From an operational perspective, there is a need to diversify humanitarian, social, and health interventions, and strengthen approaches to working with communities to identify how best to take forward public health measures in humanitarian settings. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST None declared.

Abstract:
In local markets in Malawi, there are frequent tensions between market traders and the local councils who are responsible for the markets. This sometimes results in the traders refusing to pay market taxes. That in turn causes councils to refuse to provide services, to the markets themselves or to local populations more broadly. This paper reports on research into the circumstances in which these disputes are successfully resolved. The research covered eight local councils where such disputes have taken place. Some disputes were resolved; others were not. Information was obtained through 123 interviews and 12 focus group discussions with top council officials, council employees directly working with vendors, vendors, vendors’ committees, councillors, mayors, and leaders of civil society working in local governance.

Abstract:
Female-headed households often get left behind in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programming and policy. This SLH Learning Paper presents findings and recommendations for action, from the participatory video research project, ‘Sanitation, health and livelihood issues for female-headed households in Tasikmalaya’. The project supported eight women in Awiluar village, Tasikmalaya, (a peri-urban community in west-Java, Indonesia), to explore the challenges they face and ideas for solution using a participatory video process. The process included activities to develop personal confidence, teamwork, collective and visual storytelling, reflective enquiry, communication skills and audio-visual technical skills. The women collectively created a video to communicate their sanitation, health and livelihood priorities, which was screened with local government officials and community members promoting vital dialogue and encouraging action. The aim of the project was to ensure that the specific needs and long-term interests of female-headed households are better met going forward. Further details on the approach can be found in the accompanying SLH Learning Paper, 'Using participatory video for empowerment in sanitation programming'; this describes key activities involved and their value to programming. It aims to spark sanitation and hygiene researchers’ interest in the potential for using participatory video.
