Changing perspectives on corporal punishment in schools
This paper contributes to decolonising ways in which corporal punishment has been understood and represented in Africa, through engaging with the complex views of young Ugandans about corporal punishment in schools. Conceptualising time as non-linear, and violence as a web of power, our analysis of longitudinal, mixed method data traces how physical punishment functioned to maintain the generational order, and as a regulatory practice in schools.…
Associations between violence in childhood, depression and suicide attempts in adolescence
Findings highlight the importance of efforts to prevent violence and improve access to response and support services for violence and mental health for young people. Findings also underscore the important role friends and peer networks can play in mitigating the effects of violence as young people grow up
Violence outcomes in later adolescence with the Good School Toolkit-Primary

Unintended pregnancies in the lives of young people in Luwero, Uganda
Using a feminist narrative approach, this article explores how unintended pregnancy can rupture young lives, and how young people respond to and navigate these ruptures. We analyse qualitative data from a longitudinal cohort study in Luwero, Uganda, focusing on narratives of a girl and a boy about their recent experiences of unintended and unwanted pregnancy during COVID-19 school closures. We argue that laws, policies and norms relating to educa…
Young people’s experiences of informal kinship care in Luwero, Uganda
There is strong evidence that outside parental care, informal kinship care is the most practiced, sustainable and affordable form of childcare in SSA (sub-Saharan Africa). As a longstanding cultural tradition, informal kinship care embraces childcare as the responsibility of all extended family members, and often the wider community. However, over the past decades, informal kinship care has become gradually strained by political, economic and soc…
Intensified inequities
Uganda had the longest period of school closures worldwide as a response measure during the Covid‐19 pandemic. Drawing on longitudinal qualitative data from the Contexts of Violence in Adolescence Cohort Study (CoVAC) (2018–2023), we examine how this has affected the lives of adolescents in Uganda. Our analysis showcases how intersecting inequities based on socioeconomic circumstances, gender and location have intensified, with detrimental effect…
Referral of sexual violence against children
Despite widespread expansion of policies to prevent and respond to violence over the past three decades, sexual violence against children remains common globally. Zimbabwe has expansive legal and policy frameworks to prevent, and formal services to respond to, sexual violence. Yet evidence is lacking about how children and caregivers use formal referral mechanisms. This study conducted secondary qualitative analysis of sexual violence cases [N=74…
Addressing silences in research on girls’ experiences of teacher sexual violence
Growing evidence from multiple countries in Africa documents sexual violence in schools. However, when that violence is committed by teachers it is shrouded in secrecy. This article identifies disconnects between quantitative and qualitative research, policy and practice, which have contributed to these silences. We address some of these silences through a dialogical analysis of mixed methods data from the Contexts of Violence in Adolescence Coho…
Engaging with policy actors and the discursive politics of school-related gender-based violence in Ethiopia and Zambia
School-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) has received growing attention in policy and practice over the past decade, increasingly attended to in national and international contexts. Yet we need to understand more fully the processes and actors through which this policy enactment takes place. This article analyses the understanding of SRGBV by policy stakeholders in Ethiopia and Zambia. It shows how the concept is discursively stretched by act…
Context of Violence in Adolescence Cohort (CoVAC) study
This study is a long-term follow up of participants in the Good Schools Study (NCT01678846, clinicaltrials.gov). This protocol is for cohort follow-up only; we have a separate protocol paper describing an evaluation of the long-term effects of the Good School Toolkit (In preparation)

Bridging the divides in bereavement research
Colin Murray Parkes is a figure who requires little introduction to those working within the field of bereavement care and research. Parkes’ research into bereavement provided one of the first empi
Making meaning from data on school-related gender-based violence by examining discourse and practice
Efforts to address school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) globally are hampered by conceptual and methodological difficulties in capturing meaningful data needed to inform policy and practice. Whilst the emphases of influential studies tend to be on measuring practice of violence, the authors investigate whether they can develop a more meaningful analysis that incorporates attention to both discourse and practice. They do this by examining …

Between tradition and modernity
This paper interrogates the influence of a tradition-modernity dichotomy on perspectives and practices on sexual violence and sexual relationships involving girls in three districts of Kenya, Ghana and Mozambique. Through deploying an analytical framework of positioning within multiple discursive sites, we argue that although the dichotomy misrepresents the complexity of contemporary communities, it is nonetheless deployed by girls, educational i…

Diagnostic criteria for complications of bereavement in the DSM-5
the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Volume 5 (DSM-5) is the most recent update (2013) in a series published by the American Psychiatric Association which aims to provide authoritative guidance to psychiatrists on the diagnosis of mental disorders. This article outlines the main changes in the DSM-5 regarding issues relating to bereavement, including discussion of diagnostic categories of Major Depressive Episodes, Adjustment Dis…
Violence against primary school children with disabilities in Uganda
In Uganda, disabled girls are at particular risk of violence, notably sexual violence. Schools may be a promising venue for intervention delivery. Further research on the epidemiology and prevention of violence against disabled and non-disabled children in low income countries is urgently needed
Elisabeth Kűbler-Ross, On death and dying
Elisabeth Kűbler-Ross’s influential book, On death and dying, is a collection of very moving case studies of people approaching death, which, in 1969, helped to bring public attention to the topic and drew attention to the need for improving care. Sadly, her self-promotion, and her failure to acknowledge or to work with other pioneers in the developing field of Hospice and Palliative Care, left her isolated from the mainstream and vulnerable to e…

Guidelines for conducting ethical bereavement research
It is unethical to introduce services for the bereaved that are not well founded and evaluated; yet there are special difficulties in conducting research with bereaved people. This situation has deterred some from carrying out research in this field and has caused others to place obstacles in the way of would-be researchers. The ethical difficulties of bereavement research are described, and guidelines are provided that should enable investigator…
Bereavement as a Psychosocial Transition
There are many ways of construing the psychology of loss. This paper describes one such model, which enlightens some, but not all, aspects of bereavement and needs to be used alongside other models. Loss is one aspect of psychosocial transition, the psychological change that takes place whenever people are faced with the need to undertake a major revision of their assumptions about the world. The paper focuses on the ways in which people change o…

Grief
Over the last millennium, patterns of mortality have changed and have determined who grieves and how. At all times grief has been recognized as a threat to physical and mental health. More recently the scientific study of bereavement has enabled us to quantify such effects and to develop theoretical explanations for them. This article reviews our evolving understanding of grief, focusing especially on the developments in research, theory, and pra…

Risky positions? Shifting representations of urban youth in the talk of professionals and young people
Drawing on data from a study of young people and neighbourhood risk, this paper examines the interconnected discourses utilised by professionals and young people as they talk about youth and their social networks in an urban UK neighbourhood with high levels of youth crime and social deprivation. Working with theories of discourse and subjectivity, we focus in particular on the multiplicity of meanings in talk, with both conscious and unconscious…

Research on/as violence
This article addresses the issue of harm in the research process. While researchers seek to conduct research that minimises harm, this paper argues that approaches adopted often create new forms of harm. This proposition is examined through drawing on Bourdieu’s ideas about symbolic violence and poststructural theories of identity, to critically reflect on three moments of harm that occurred in research on violence with groups of young people in …
The Multiple Meanings of Violence
Drawing on data from an empirical study of children's engagements with violence in South Africa, this article explores children's talk about violence in their neighbourhood. Violence entered into children's daily lives in many forms, repelling and disempowering them. At the same time, violence could attract, when it was understood as a form of capital or a source of control. As children tried to negotiate subject positions in relation to violence…
Models of bereavement care
After briefly reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of three approaches to bereavement care which are found in the United States of America (professional care, mutual help, and hospice care) this paper describes a fourth type exemplified by the British organization cruse. This provides both individual and group counseling through a national network of selected and trained volunteer counselors backed by professional caregivers

The Power of Talk
This article considers the possibilities for change through participation in research. Reflecting on findings from a study of South African young people's perspectives about violence, it explores how research may have consequences—both planned and unintended—for its participants. For example, in the course of this study, verbal problem solving and collaboration increasingly replaced systems of punishment as children's preferred solutions to probl…
Tensions and Troubles in Young People's Talk about Safety and Danger in a Violent Neighbourhood
This paper examines how young people living in a violent neighbourhood construct understandings about danger, violence and safety. Reporting findings from a qualitative study that investigated these issues with 8–14 year olds in a South African neighbourhood, the paper identifies how young people attempted to stay safe through reliance on adult protection, avoidance and escape, peer support and retaliation. Through close examination of three disc…

Interhospital and Intrahospital Variations in the Diagnosis and Severity of Schizophrenia
SCHIZOPHRENIA* * The method employed for rating "certainty of diagnosis" is based on a similar method devised by Wardle (1960). It employs a standard list of symptoms which are usually regarded as pathognomonic of schizophrenia. These are derived mainly from the work of Bleuler (1924), Cameron (1944), and Langfeldt (1937)

Broken Heart
A total of 4,486 widowers of 55 years of age and older have been followed up for nine years since the death of their wives in 1957. Of these 213 died during the first six months of bereavement, 40% above the expected rate for married men of the same age. Thereafter the mortality rate fell gradually to that of married men and remained at about the same leveL The greatest increase in mortality during the first six months was found in the widowers d…

Determinants of Outcome following Bereavement
Sixty-eight widows and widowers were interviewed shortly after bereavement and again a year later. Factors which at the early interviews predicted poor outcome included “low socio-economic status,” “short terminal illness with little warning of impending death,” “multiple life crises (particularly those involving disturbance of marital relationship) and reactions to bereavement of severe distress, yearning, anger or self-reproach.”
