‘But your latch looks fine!’ Understanding women’s experiences with breastfeeding pain
Background Breastfeeding is an international public health priority and is considered optimal for both infants and parents. However, initiating and sustaining breast/chestfeeding can be difficult. Evidence suggests that parents commonly encounter physical barriers to feeding, with most experiencing at least some pain during initiation of breast/chestfeeding. Enduring feeding pain takes a physical and emotional toll, yet little is known about live…
‘Just normal’, ‘calming’ and ‘well looked after’
The active mobility experiences of adolescents intersect with those of younger children and older youth in many ways. However, existing research informing health promotion is limited in its exploration of the distinct features that differentiate adolescent active mobilities and the differences within adolescence. Drawing on interviews and audio-recorded walking tours with 12 adolescents aged between 12 and 15 from urban areas of Australia, this p…

‘I’m very happy with where she’s at’: a critical analysis of Australian mothers’ constructions of urban children’s local active mobility practices
Being a positive influence(r)
Influencers attract praise-and censure-for how they are perceived to influence followers.These discussions are strongly gendered: representations of mainstream influencers are highly feminised, and it is typically women and girls who are imagined as the targets-or victims -of influence.We suggest that the value influencers can offer is increasingly understood in affective and emotional terms and materialises in the form of mindset advice and mode…

Empowered and vulnerable? Analyzing affective–discursive practices and dilemmas in young people’s resistance to sexual harassment
Preventing image-based sexual coercion, harassment and abuse among teenagers
This paper explores teenage girls’ responses to general advice, and formal prevention messages, designed to reduce sexting-related risk and prevent harm. We conducted workshops with seven groups of girls (28 in total), aged 16–17 years, in a New Zealand city. Each group participated in a series of three workshop sessions. Drawing on a Freirean ‘problem-posing’ approach, we designed the workshops as spaces in which girls were invited to observe an…
‘Maybe I’m a quiet activist’
With the intensification of calls for social ‘impact’ from research, there is renewed emphasis on academic-activism as a means to realize social change. But what ‘counts’ as activism in these visions of academic-activist impact? Drawing on interviews with sex work scholars in the United Kingdom and Aotearoa New Zealand, we examine the borders – and the disruption of borders – between ‘traditional’ forms of activism and a wider array of more ‘mino…
Getting the crowd to care
Campaigns for personal health expenses make up the largest and fastest-growing segment of donation-based crowdfunding. Set against the backdrop of retrenchment and disinvestment in public healthcare systems across the global North, health-related crowdfunding is a way to navigate increasingly marketised systems of social reproduction. Despite high profile success stories, campaigns vary significantly in their ability to capture the hearts, and ul…
Hāpai Te Hauora’ - ‘It’s Like Breathing Your Ancestors Into Life
Rangatahi described ‘hāpai te hauora’ as ‘breathing your ancestors into life’. This paper explores the ways rangatahi Māori make sense of and live ‘hāpai te hauora’ through sharing their stories of navigating wellbeing.Twenty rangatahi Māori (16–20 years) from diverse backgrounds living in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa (Auckland, New Zealand) were interviewed by Māori researchers. From the resulting rich and insightful data, short pūrākau (narratives…
Mobility barriers and enablers and their implications for the wellbeing of disabled children and young people in Aotearoa New Zealand
Active participation in community and cultural life is a basic right of all children and young people (CYP) and is central to wellbeing. For disabled CYP, mobility can be constrained through a range of environmental and social/attitudinal barriers. The aim of this research was to understand the enablers and barriers to mobility from the perspectives of disabled CYP. Thirty-five disabled CYP aged between 12 and 25 years took part. Data were collec…
Mental coaching through crisis
Over recent decades, psychological health interventions have assumed a more prominent role in the conduct and regulation of daily life. Conceptualised in the critical social sciences as psychological governance, this development entails shaping the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours of individuals and populations to promote desired psychological states and conduct. In step with broader sociotechnical shifts, psychological governance is increasing…
Looking on the bright side
From policy to personal practice, injunctions to harness the positive effects of positive affects are pulsing through global emotion regimes. Scholarship tracing this phenomenon links the push for positivity – and other seemingly “entrepreneurial” affects – to neoliberal cultural formations. Within and beyond psychology, feminist analyses are highlighting the gendered address of these formations and their imbrication with contemporary femininitie…

Informal governance and the spatial management of street-based sex work in Aotearoa New Zealand
Feminism, Foucault, and Freire
Being the body in question
The perception of impairments often relies on dominant, ableist presumptions about what disability ‘looks like’. This article builds from in-depth research with 35 young people who are Deaf or blind or have vision, hearing or mobility impairments and their parents, all of whom navigated ableist interactional dynamics in one form or another. In conversation with scholarship across disability studies, sociology and social psychology, this article e…
Niva Piran, Journeys of embodiment at the intersection of body and culture
Enabling participation for disabled young people
This study looks beyond barriers in the physical environment to the interplay of personal, social and physical factors that enable or constrain the community participation of disabled young people. In keeping with the study's overarching goal of increasing opportunities for effective community participation and full citizenship of disabled young people, research methods were applied flexibily - negotiated and adapted to maximise each young person…
A Prefigurative Politics of Play in Public Places
Children have as much “right” to the city as adult citizens, yet they lose out in the urban spatial justice stakes. Built environments prioritizing motor vehicles, a default urban planning position that sees children as belonging in child-designated areas, and safety discourses, combine to restrict children’s presence and opportunities for play, rendering them out of place in public space. In this context, children’s everyday appropriations of pu…
Rape culture and social media
Social media sites, according to Carrie A. Rentschler, can become both “aggregators of online misogyny” as well as key spaces for feminist education and activism. They are spaces where “rape culture,” in particular, is both performed and resisted, and where a feminist counterpublic can be formed (Michael Salter 2013 Salter, Michael. 2013. “Justice and Revenge in Online Counter-Publics: Emerging Responses to Sexual Violence in the Age of Social Me…
Jekyll and Hyde revisited
It is a decade and a half since Nigel Edley and Margaret Wetherell's (2001) “Jekyll and Hyde: Men's constructions of feminism and feminists” called scholarly attention to men's discursive splitting of feminism and feminists into good and monstrous variants. In this article, we ask whether this double vision persists and how it operates in a cultural moment when feminism and feminist issues are (re)entering the mainstream. We draw from data collec…
Making sense of everyday sexism
The Choreography of Everyday Sexism
Sexism thrives in the present because it appears to dwell in the past. Shielded by the claim that we have successfully dispatched it, contemporary sexism flourishes as ‘retro’, ‘hipster’ or ‘ironic’, or else passes unnoticed. Accusations of sexism sound amusingly out-dated and those speaking seriously of sexism may be dismissed as out-of-date themselves - or else as unreasonable and oversensitive. Under these conditions, the persistent presence o…
