Translating epigenetics into antenatal care in Australia
The scientific field of epigenetics – and its social and ethical repercussions – has been met with a mixture of cautious optimism and scepticism from social scientists. While acknowledging the possibilities of contributing to a more biosocial account of health, critical scholars are concerned about how this knowledge could be used to intensify risk narratives for certain groups, particularly pregnant people. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interv…
Pregnancy, placentas and smoke exposure
The health implications of prolonged wildfire smoke exposure - such as that seen during the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires - are a major concern in public health, not only in Australia but in many fire-prone areas globally. One group identified as potentially more susceptible to smoke exposure than the general population are pregnant women. Based on a study of how pregnant women and parents with newborn babies experienced the bushfire smoke event…
Bushfire Smoke in Our Eyes
The 2019–20 bushfires that raged in eastern Australia were an overwhelming natural disaster leading to lives lost or upended, and communities destroyed. For almost a month, Canberra, Australia's capital city in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), was obscured by smoke from fires which threatened the outer suburbs. While smoke itself is experientially different from many natural disasters, it nevertheless poses a significant public health thre…
I didn’t feel safe inside’
Bushfires, and resulting bushfire smoke, were major environmental, social and health crises in Australia in the summer of 2019–20. In Australia’s national capital the smoke pollution index topped global charts, and public health communications were rapidly developed that advised people to stay indoors to avoid smoke exposure. Drawing on interviews with a diverse range of housed residents, we explore people’s experiences of navigating public healt…
Migration and social transformation through the lens of locality
Starting from Castles’ argument that contemporary international migration is part of ‘step-change’ transformations brought about by neoliberal globalisation, this article analyses the local impacts of global transformations by undertaking a comparative analysis of the myriad ways migration shapes three urban localities in South Korea, Turkey and Australia. The article explores how migrants and non-migrants in each locality make meaning about soci…

Learning to Belong
Public libraries are quintessential civic and education institutions which have undergone significant transformation. In the context of digital knowledge platforms and the neoliberalisation of public space, libraries are increasingly framed as knowledge portals, community hubs, refuges, and rare examples of universally accessible public spaces. If public libraries are transforming as educational, public and civic spaces, what does this mean for t…
Vernacular Cosmopolitanisms in Suburban Peripheries
This article examines different forms of cosmopolitanism that shape everyday spaces in a multicultural suburb at the periphery of urban and political dynamics of Sydney. I investigate two forms of cosmopolitanism: top-down cosmopolitanism as part of place-making strategies enacted by local government and associated parties, and ordinary intercultural encounters enacted in public spaces. The latter kind of vernacular cosmopolitanism does not neces…
Everyday space, mobile subjects and place-based belonging in suburban Sydney
In the contemporary age of international migration, the mobilities of people into and out of cities are increasingly diverse. Correspondingly, it has been claimed that forms of belonging are becoming increasingly flexible, strategic and characterised by multiple place attachments. This paper examines these claims in empirical detail by investigating how different scales of belonging and mobility come together in the context of migrant incorporati…
P2-202 Thiazolidinediones are associated with regression of hepatosteatosis in people with type 2 diabetes
Background Increasing evidence suggests that some antidiabetic medications may improve markers of abnormal liver structure and function in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We investigated this association in older people with type 2 diabetes. Methods 474 participants, aged 63–79 years, from the Edinburgh Type 2 Diabetes Study, a large, randomly-selected population of patients with Type 2 diabetes, underwent assessment on two occasio…
Novela Nacional Y Marginación Sociopolítica en la Trayectoria Novelistica de Carlos Fuentes
Fuentes' novelistic production to date is examined in reference to the sociohistorical context of modern Mexico and three stages are proposed in the development of Fuentes' aesthetic solutions for the fictional representation of social and historical reality. In the first stage, Fuentes uses an interweaving of temporal patterns to achieve a critical vision of history and society in his effort to fuse both Mexico's pre-Colombian and more recent le…
