  • Men’s Body Image Narratives in Emerging Adulthood

    Open AccessE JordanARTICLEQualitative Health Research2026

    Men are an important, yet understudied, population in body image research. Body image is an important contributor to mental health and is pertinent to all genders. While research exists identifying major influences on men’s body image, what has been studied less is the way that men perceive, and subsequently narrate, their experiences with body image over their lifetimes. Consequently, the current study examines the way that men narrate their bod…

  • Improving ethical assurance for non-university researchers in crisis settings

    Open AccessLeanne Cochrane, Orla Drummond et al.ARTICLEResearch Ethics2025

    This article aims to open a discussion on better ethical assurance for non-university research actors drawing on democratic norms. It derives from the author’s experience of a gap in ethical assurance for social science and humanities (SSH) research that takes place outside academia, for example within international organisations, public bodies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and by private entities. Many of these actors commission, conduc…

  • Children are (Still) Communicators Too

    8662) revealed that child representation remains below 4%, with the majority of these publications utilizing adolescent rather than school-age and younger samples. Findings in the current study underscore the importance of valuing children's communication processes. We present a renewed call for children's communication research by arguing for the need to (1) address discipline barriers to child-focused research, (2) pay attention to younger chil…

  • Diet culture socialization in the parent-child relationship

    Open AccessE JordanARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2025References: 50

    Communication within the parent-child relationship plays a key role in children’s well-being, particularly children’s disordered eating behaviors and body image. Given the critical role of parental communication and beliefs in children’s socialization, the current study tested a model in which parental weight talk may facilitate children’s diet culture-related beliefs, which may further affect children’s disordered eating and positive body image.…

  • Pregnancy During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Haley Kranstuber Horstman, Alaina Leverenz et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2024

    Grounded in communicated narrative sense-making (CNSM) theory and communication theory of resilience (CTR), the current study investigated how women narratively constructed resilience surrounding pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the adverse effects of stress on pregnant individuals and their babies, it is important to understand the triggers and process of resilience in this context. We interviewed 21 cisgender women who were pregnan…

  • “If You Don’t Lose Weight, the Government Will Take You Away”

    E JordanARTICLEHealth Communication2023

    Family communication plays a key role in children’s body image, disordered eating, and full-blown eating disorders;. However, much existing communication research on eating disorders has focused on general populations. As the LGBTQ+ community is disproportionately affected by eating disorders , more work is needed to better understand how family communication may be perceived as influencing eating disorders in the LGBTQ+ community. Thus, the curr…

  • Navigating Pregnancy during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Emily J Charvat, Haley Kranstuber Horstman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Communication2021References: 5

    Grounded in communicated narrative sense-making theory (CNSM), this study explored how women who were pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 21) communicatively made sense of their experience in light of their received social support. Interview data were inductively analyzed for emergent themes and deductively analyzed for type of social support and narrative tone. Findings uncovered themes of a) connecting to mitigate stress, b) drawing on o…

  • Identifying Anne Mozley's Contributions to the Christian Remembrancer

    Open AccessAlexis Antonia, E JordanARTICLEVictorian Literature and Culture2014

    Over the last thirty years the growing academic interest in both Victorian periodicals and women's issues in the nineteenth century has focussed interest on the women journalists who wrote for the serious quarterlies and monthlies published during this period. The part played by such writers as Harriet Martineau, Elizabeth Eastlake, and Frances Power Cobbe in the development of Victorian thought is now well known, while that of less prolific cont…

  • An Unexpected Recruit to Feminism

    E Jordan, Anne BridgerARTICLEWomen s History Review2006

    In 1859 Jessie Boucherett, the daughter of a Lincolnshire landowner possessed of an independent income, was inspired by press discussions of the need to find alternative occupations for women to make contact with the women who were already spreading this message through the English Woman’s Journal. With their rather grudging support she founded a society, which still exists, to further this aim, the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women (…

  • The Women's Movement and Women's Employment in Nineteenth Century Britain

    E JordanBOOKWomen's Movement and Women's…2002

    In the first half of the nineteenth century the main employments open to young women in Britain were in teaching, dressmaking, textile manufacture and domestic service. After 1850, however, young women began to enter previously all-male areas like medicine, pharmacy, librarianship, the civil service, clerical work and hairdressing, or areas previously restricted to older women like nursing, retail work and primary school teaching. This book exami…

  • Women's Work in a Rural Community

    Open AccessGlenda Strachan, E Jordan et al.ARTICLELabour History2000

    This article analyses the position of women in the economy of a rural community in the second half of the nineteenth century. The town of Dungog and its surrounding region in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales were being settled by Europeans in these decades. The article explores the relationship between family needs and aspirations, the economic constraints and opportunities available to women in this community. It concludes that while more ec…

  • The great principle of english fair-play

    E JordanARTICLEWomen s History Review1998References: 6

    Although the nineteenth-century women's movement in Britain was committed to opening male professions to women, pharmacy was not considered a likely target until it was discovered that certain men in the ruling body of the Pharmaceutical Society were sympathetic to their cause. Two young women already training to be hospital dispensers under the auspices of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women were then encouraged to take the Pharmac…

  • Fighting Boys and Fantasy Play

    E JordanARTICLEGender and Education1995Cited by: 26

    Using a post-structural framework, the paper analyses the dynamics of the process by which little boys adopt a definition of masculinity as avoiding whatever is done by girls. It is argued that this is a response to the fact that the 'fighting boys' who resist the school's demands have appropriated the role of hero in the warrior narratives of little boys' fantasy games, casting the 'good boys' who conform to the requirements of the school as des…

    Open AccessE Jordan, Angela CowanARTICLEGender & Society1995Cited by: 9References: 2

    The 'social contract' becomes part of the lived experience of little boys when they discover that the school forbids the warrior narratives through which they initially define masculinity and imposes a different, public sphere; masculinity of rationality and responsibility. They learn that these narratives are not to be lived but only experienced symbolically through fantasy and sport in the private sphere of desire. Little girls, whose gender-de…

  • "Making Good Wives and Mothers"? The Transformation of Middle-Class Girls' Education in Nineteenth-Century Britain

    E JordanARTICLEHistory of Education Quarterly1991Cited by: 5

    “The true end of the education of women,” said a writer in the Contemporary Review in 1866, “is making good wives and mothers,” and similar assertions can be found scattered through the writings and speeches of almost all the nineteenth-century commentators on the education of women. On the face of it, one would assume that those expressing this view were unequivocally committed to the definitions of femininity of their period, either the domesti…

    In 1868, a clergymen told the annual congress of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science that 'he had long lived in the town of Liverpool, and had been placed in circumstances there which made him frequently regret that there were no places in which women could find employment. The great want was of employment for every class of women, not only for the higher class, but for those placed in humbler circumstances.' At earlier c…

    E JordanARTICLESocial History1988Cited by: 8References: 4

    When one thinks of working-class women in England and Wales in the second half of the nineteenth century, the picture that rises to mind is one of unremitting toil, of factory hooters at dawn calling out the mill girls in their clogs and shawls, of dressmakers' apprentices at two o'clock in the morning fainting as they put the finishing touches to a gauzy ball gown, of sooty-faced girls in denim trousers shovelling coal at a pit head in Wigan, or…
