Invited to the party but not allowed to dance? Examining strategic decision-making inclusion of top female executives
Purpose The gender diversity of top management teams (TMTs) is slowly increasing. Research shows that top executives influence firms through their role in strategic decision-making but that executives are not equally engaged in it. The purpose of this paper is to understand whether gender affects the likelihood of inclusion in strategic decision-making. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on surveys completed by chief executive officers (CEOs) an…
Rituals about the skin
Pimple popping videos on YouTube draw a large number of views and comments. Using Critical Thematic Analysis, this paper analyses comments on the videos to understand why these films are so compelling for some viewers. Building on the insights of skin studies, I argue that the satisfaction that viewers experience is linked to (1) the nature of disgust (involving both aversion and fascination); (2) the visual close up framing of the videos (that p…
Torture laid bare
Torture, while internationally sanctioned, is not well-defined. This paper sets out a Minimal English definition of the crime of ‘torture’ in international law. The four elements of torture are: (1) infliction of severe pain and suffering (2) acting with intent (3) for a purpose (4) by the state. The connection between intention and outcome is considered in the light of presumptions. I then briefly consider the concept of ‘lawful sanctions’ and t…
Baal/CUP Seminar 2015
On 7 and 8 September 2015, the University of Roehampton hosted a BAAL/Cambridge University Press seminar, which brought together researchers from a wide range of perspectives in terms of their objects of study and modes of investigation
Two sides of the same coin
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to document the conceptual metaphors (Lakoff and Johnson, 2003) found in the talk of Greek and Australian adults to describe how people think about money. As money becomes increasingly abstract, understanding money, dealing with debt and encouraging financial literacy become more problematic. Design/methodology/approach – Semi-structured interviews of a small sample ( n = 7) are analysed using Lakoff and Joh…
Corporeal Mentality”
New ways of looking at texts may help to protect the basis of human rights: that all people are recognized as people. This article develops an interpretative convention, the “corporeal mentality,” to compel consideration of the corporeal nature of human beings when reading human rights texts. Attention is paid to the status and history of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as well as to an artwork that writes this text in human bloo…
Care, gender and employment
Over the last 30 years, the authors have collaborated with Julia Brannen on five major research studies: the Day Care Project in the 1980s; the study of Four Generation Families at the turn of the millennium; the Care Careers Project in the mid 2000s; and, most recently, Fathers across Three Generations and the Food Practices and Employed Families with Younger Children studies. This article offers an overview of the studies, situating them in the…
Fatherhood and Transmission in the Context of Migration
The article compares men's biographies and fatherhood across two generations among the Irish and the Polish, who represent different waves of migration to Britain, focusing on two chains of fathers and sons. It examines different aspects of transmission between fathers and sons and, in the context of migration, the part that generational experience played in how men identify (or not) with their own fathers and repeated or changed their fatherhood…
Finding the right man
Accessing research participants is often presented as unproblematic. However, the authors' experiences of recruiting 30 chains of grandfathers, fathers and grandsons, spanning three different ethnic groups, Polish, Irish and white British, highlighted the realities of research practice. This article draws on a study of fathers across three generations in three ethnic groups to explore the sampling challenges and complexities. The recruitment meth…
Families, meals and synchronicity
Based on a sample of British dual earner families with young children drawn from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, the paper examines their food practices, in particular the conditions under which families are able to eat together or not during the working week. The concept of synchronicity is drawn upon to shed light on whether meals and meal times are coordinated in family life and the facilitators and constraints upon coordination. The p…
The impact of employment on fatherhood across family generations in white British, Polish and Irish origin families
This paper draws on data from an intergenerational study of fatherhood to consider how fatherhood has changed and how employment conditions and occupational status shape fatherhood, particularly their involvement with their children and, via an analysis of four cases, continuities and discontinuities are identified across the family generations. The study involved three generational chains of men which included grandfathers, sons and grandsons fr…

Fathers and intergenerational transmission in social context
This article takes an intergenerational lens to the study of fathers. It draws on evidence from two economic and social research council-funded intergenerational studies of fathers, one of which focused on four-generation British families and the other which included new migrant (Polish) fathers. The article suggests both patterns of change and continuity in fatherhood across the generations. It demonstrates how cultural forces and material condi…
Childhood Experiences
This article draws upon biographical interview material from a mixed-method British study of workers caring for vulnerable children: residential social workers, family support workers, foster carers and community childminders. It has two aims: (1) to identify the contexts - the particular events, circumstances and life course phases - that precipitated a move into their first occupation working with vulnerable children and young people; and (2) t…
Boys will be boys
While lad's magazines such as FHM and Loaded have been subject to critical attention with respect to the way they represent and negotiate models of masculinity, there has been a significant absence of work that addresses the representation of women in these and other publications, such as Zoo and Nuts. In this paper I argue that these magazines normalise pornography through an invocation of the “real,” by encouraging reader action and interaction…
Death alive and kicking
This paper explores the “religion of law” and the “religion in law” through analysis of judgements in the case of Dianne Pretty's challenge of the law against assisted suicide on human rights grounds. It is argued that the core articles of the religion of law, close attention to text and construction of consistency, are used to affirm the Judeo-Christian values of suffering and the sanctity of life. The affirmation of the religion in law occurs i…
Mobility within the Childcare Workforce
This article presents findings from a three-year government-funded study of the work and family lives of four important groups within the childcare workforce in England: residential social workers in children's homes, family support workers, foster carers and community childminders. The study used a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including biographical narrative interviews. The policy context of the Children's Workforce Stra…
Globalization
Viewed as a destructive force or an inevitability of modern society, globalization is the focus of a multitude of disciplines. A clear understanding of its processes and terminology is imperative for anyone engaging with this ubiquitous topic. Globalization: the Key Concepts offers a comprehensive guide to this cross-disciplinary subject and covers concepts such as: homogenization neo-Liberalism risk knowledge society time-space compression refle…
Coming to Care
This book provides fascinating insights into the factors that influence why people enter and leave care work, their motivations, understandings and experiences of their work and intersection of it with their family lives

The Rhetoric of Religious Cults takes as its departure point the notion that 'cults' have a distinctive language and way of recruiting members. First outlining a rhetorical framework, which encompasse
Keeping on the windy side of the law
Going to the beach in Australia is a way of getting to the borders of nowhere in the sense that no-one lives on the beach. It is under limited circumstances that one can say 'Come to the beach'; it is somewhere only to 'go'. Like death, one only goes. But unlike death, one comes back, repeatedly (cf Derrida 1979). The repetition and pleasure of death are at the centre of the beach experience. Once you step onto the sand you are in a space away fr…
Some body wants to be normal
Narrative accounts of illness often focus on the sociological construction of illness and neglect the body. This paper explores themes of seeing and being seen in the narrative of an HIV positive man to show the importance of uncovering the psychological and corporeal experience of HIV. Such accounts complement and enhance conventional medical accounts of illness. Poignantly, it is a story of how he understands others as reading his body and writ…

The child care workforce
At a time of major expansion in `child care' services, the workforce becomes a major issue. Drawing on a number of linked studies of the child care workforce, the article first provides an analysis of the situation of the current workforce, including the highly gendered nature of the work, low pay and high job satisfaction, and how the work is understood. It then considers whether, at a time of increasing demand for workers in both child care and…

An ecological framing of HIV preventive intervention
The work that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) perform in terms of HIV and AIDS is wide-ranging. Financial resources are available from government and other agencies if NGOs can frame their work in alignment with their interests. We take the particular case of Disha Foundation, an NGO working in Nasik, in the state of Maharashtra in India, whose clients are migrant workers. Drawing upon a broad notion of frame, we focus on the way in which a…
Time on Educational Activities at Home and Educational Progress in Infant School
S ummary . This paper reports on the amount of time 6‐year‐olds in inner London engage in educational activities at home, and links these results with earlier research on the association between parental help with reading and children's reading progress. The activities data were collected using a time budget approach. The median child in this sample read aloud at home about 20 minutes per week, and received about 40 minutes per week total “teachi…

Quality in early childhood services
Recent government proposals give local authorities responsibility for establishing early years partnerships. The partnerships provide people interested in early childhood services with an opportunity to discuss local provision. In any discussion of early childhood services, quality is likely to be high on the agenda. This paper describes a series of discussions on the meaning of quality in early childhood services. Parents, day care providers and…

The role of self-assessment in the regulation and inspection of group day care
This paper considers the role of self-assessment in maintaining and improving standards of day care. A pilot study designed to investigate and develop the potential contribution of self-assessment procedures in the regulation of day nurseries is described. Self-assessment materials designed for day care providers to use in assessing the quality of their care were adapted for inspection purposes. Inspection staff in four local authorities used the…
A profile of childminding
After friends and relatives, childminders are the most common form of child care. This paper reports the results from a postal survey of a nationally representative sample of over 1,000 childminders. Results are reported concerning childminders' training and employment histories, working conditions, motivation, commitment and satisfaction with their work. Two groups of childminders emerge; a group where childminding may be a passing phase in thei…

The problematic of decision‐sharing
Shared decision‐making is increasingly advocated as a means of interacting with patients but there is also a widely accepted view that many factors will militate against this ideal. While some patients may not wish to take on the responsibility of decision‐making, it is also evident that many find it difficult to assimilate probabilities about future events and overestimate the likelihood of some outcomes, especially when terms such as ‘stroke’, …
