Expressions of mother-daughter disconnections and homelessness in Prince George.

The purpose of this study is to examine expressions of mother-daughter disconnection and homelessness in Prince George, Northern British Columbia. The primary groups for this case study are mothers or daughters living in an emergency shelter in downtown Prince George, BC, i.e., the Association Advocating for Women and Children (AWAC). A descriptive multi-method collaborative authoethnographic design was used for the study. In-depth face-to-face interviews which were conducted during the research were combined with field notes to write this thesis. This thesis gives insight into the reasons for homelessness and disconnection in the mother-daughter relationship using a creative art process. This present thesis follows the pattern, and builds on the scholarship of my predecessors, two research activists (Harding, 2010 Bradley, 2013). --Leaf ii.
