Community groups, organisations, and employers respond to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic
The study underscores the importance of local resilience, highlighting the VCFSE sector's central role in addressing inequalities exacerbated by crises. It calls for substantial long-term investment to sustain this vital infrastructure, which is critical not only for recovery but also for preparedness for future societal shocks
Beauvoir as Semiologist and the Myth of the Eternal Feminine
Beauvoir’s The Second Sex is typically not read as a phenomenological semiology, but this author gives a reading of the text as a feminist phenomenological semiology understood in a political, economic, socially lived approach. Enacting the methods of semiology and phenomenology together can help navigate the tension that arises between embodied subjects immersed in a linguistic and mythical world, the inherited meanings and values that are faced…
A critical semiology of settler colonial meaning-making
Fanon and Soap Advertising
This paper critically examines the pervasive colonial myth that associates whiteness with cleanliness and blackness with dirtiness, a myth often perpetuated through media, especially soap advertisements. Through an analysis of Frantz Fanon’s contributions to psychoanalysis and phenomenology, the paper elucidates how racial constructs are sociogenically constructed and internalized, shaping the collective unconscious. Focusing on Fanon’s phenomeno…
Minding the gap
The Health Inequalities Assessment Toolkit (HIAT) was developed to support those involved in health research to integrate a focus on health inequalities. Our study focuses on bringing together the concepts of boundary objects (BO) and brokers-as-bricoleurs to explain the implementation of the HIAT within a research capacity building programme. Exploring the extent to which (i) the HIAT operated as a BO and (ii) the ideal conditions to nurture and…
Tapping into the power of coproduction and knowledge mobilisation
BACKGROUND: We report on a study of a facilitated interactive group learning approach, through Collaborative Implementation Groups (CIGs), established to enhance capacity for equity-sensitive evaluation of healthcare services to inform local decision-making: (1) What was the experience of participants of the CIGs? (2) How was knowledge mobilisation achieved? (3) What are the key elements that enhance the process of coproducing equity-sensitive ev…
The perception of risk in contracting and spreading Covid-19 amongst individuals, households and vulnerable groups in England
Participants developed their own understanding of COVID-19 risk perception through personal experience and comparison with others around them, irrespective of vulnerability status. COVID-19 guidance was not complied with as intended by the government, and at times even rejected due to lack of trust. The format in which future pandemic guidance is conveyed must be carefully considered, and take into account individuals' experiences that may lead t…
Black Speaking Subjects
We propose that Frantz Fanon’s analysis of language develops an immanent critique of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. Fanon transforms the phenomenological method to account for the Black speaking subjects’ experience through a sociogenic account of language. First, while the French colonial language has a robust diachronic dimension, the language of the colonized, Creole, is relegated to a synchrony without diachrony, as the historical pas…
The impact of Covid-19 social distancing and isolation recommendations for Muslim communities in North West England
Psychological distress was associated with COVID-19 virus and impact of COVID-19 restrictions on livelihoods and fundamental human interactions. Better provision of culturally appropriate information, improving local channels of communication and practical support are important during times of pandemic when usual support systems may be disrupted
How do Muslim community members perceive Covid-19 risk reduction recommendations - a UK qualitative study
Across society there are people that adhere to restrictions and guidelines and those that do not. Improving local information provision and communication pathways during times of the pandemic, could aid understanding of risk and promote adherence to social distancing restrictions
The health impacts of women's low control in their living environment
Soft governance, restratification and the 2004 general medical services contract
In the UK National Health Service, primary care organisation (PCO) managers have traditionally relied on the soft leadership of general practitioners based on professional self-regulation rather than direct managerial control. The 2004 general medical services contract (nGMS) represented a significant break from this arrangement by introducing new performance management mechanisms for PCO managers to measure and improve general practice work. Thi…
OP11 Missing Women? The Health Inequalities Impact of Low Control and Gender Discrimination
Background Increasing control and empowerment are considered central to efforts to reduce health inequalities. From our critical review of theory, low control or powerlessness emerged as a potentially fundamental mechanism underlying social inequalities in health. Amartya Sen’s theories of “freedom” and “capabilities” to live a long and healthy life have been influential: focusing attention on the health consequences of a lack of freedom for wome…
Primary Care Consultations About Medically Unexplained Symptoms
OBJECTIVE: In primary care, many consultations about physical symptoms that the doctor thinks are not explained by physical disease nevertheless lead to somatic interventions. Our objective was to test the predictions that somatic intervention becomes more likely a) when doctors provide simple reassurance rather than detailed symptom explanations and do not help patients discuss psychosocial problems and b) when patients try to engage doctors by …
Why Do Primary Care Physicians Propose Medical Care to Patients With Medically Unexplained Symptoms? A New Method of Sequence Analysis to Test Theories of Patient Pressure
OBJECTIVE: We test predictions from contrasting theories that primary care physicians offer medical care to patients with medically unexplained symptoms in response to a) patients' attribution of symptoms to disease and demand for treatment or b) their progressive elaboration of their symptoms in the attempt to engage their physicians. METHODS: Primary care physicians identified consecutive patients who consulted with symptoms that the physician …
