Talking about fire
The 2019-2020 fire catastrophe in Australia has generated vigorous personal and public reflections about the nature and role of fire in Australian society and how to manage fire across the continent. Within local communities a variety of attitudes and perspectives has been debated, often with limited mutual understanding. To take advantage of this historical moment post-the catastrophic summer of 2019-20 and to contribute to more effective commun…
Individual and Sociocultural Determinants of Suicide in an Indian Community
India has a significant number of people exposed to suicide. The traumatic effects of these experiences, and the healing process of suicide survivors are poorly understood. We investigated suicide survivors’ experiences and post-suicide healing. Interviews were conducted with suicide survivors who received different types of support—home visits before COVID-19 and telephonic outreach during lockdown. Two researchers used “active listening” and “h…
Choreographing a good death
The proliferation of assisted dying legislative reforms globally is a significant change in the social and medico-legal landscape of end-of-life care. Understanding the impacts of these legislative reforms on family members who care for a dying person is vital, yet under-theorised in research. In this article, drawing on semi-structured interviews with 42 carers for a person who has sought assisted dying in Australia, and extending ideas of ontol…
A person-centred problem
It has become commonly expected that the “personhood” of people with dementia should be recognised, understood in the relational sense that is now widely adopted in healthcare practices. Despite its broad acceptance, however, the concept of personhood remains problematic in dementia care, as a result both of the theoretical challenges it poses and the practices that arise from it. This work employs the technique of ethnographic observation of res…
Men's weight loss stories
Obesity is considered a public health concern. In Australia, there are a greater number of overweight or obese men compared with women. The media is an important source of information about body weight and weight management. We undertook a qualitative study to analyse men's weight loss stories in a popular men's magazine. Between January 2009 and December 2012, we collected 47 men's weight loss stories from the Australian edition of Men's Health …
Obese people's perceptions of the thin ideal
Obese Adults' Perceptions of News Reporting on Obesity
News reporting, in channels such as broadcast and print media, on obesity as an issue has increased dramatically in the last decade. A qualitative study, in which we used in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, was undertaken to explore 142 obese individuals' perceptions of, and responses to, news reporting about obesity. Participants believed that news reporting on obesity focused on personal responsibility and blame, and portrayed obese peop…
Reinterpreting Menopause
Reinterpreting Menopause brings together a number of reflections from a broad range of areas including feminism, cultural studies, clinical medicine, sociology, philosophy and political science and includes the voices and experiences of menopausal women themselves. In an innovative series of essays, current thinking about medicine, society and the body is critically examined. Particular attention is given to the medical representations of menopau…
"The solution needs to be complex."Obese adults' attitudes about the effectiveness of individual and population based interventions for obesity
Obese adults support non-commercial, non-stigmatising interventions which are designed to improve lifestyles, rather than promote weight loss
Dancing beyond exercise
Dance classes in urban settings may have a role in health-promotion programmes seeking to increase physical activity amongst young people. However, little is so far known about the motivations, experiences or health outcomes of those participating in dance classes. This qualitative study of young people attending recreational dance classes addressed motivations, the nature of the class experience, and implications for health and well-being. Data …
