Fraudulent Lives
Urban governance, public health and the impact of plague on everyday life in Cambridge, 1625–1630
Analysing Informal Governance Arrangements in Small-Scale Fisheries
Many small-scale fisheries (SSF) studies have recognised the importance of this sector. However, in Zimbabwe, limited recognition or policy provisions cater to the SSF. This study used an Interactive Governance Approach to analyse the governance of the Norton SSF and their lived experiences. A total of 113 respondents were sampled using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Data were collected through interviews, focus-group discussions and…
Sexual and Reproductive Health Service Access among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Young People in Regional NSW, Australia
Owing to the historical and ongoing impacts of colonisation, there is a large health equity gap in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non‐Indigenous populations. Whilst qualitative research has identified the barriers and enablers to sexual healthcare engagement among young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote settings, little is known about the ways in which y…
Reimagining the Role of Health Departments and Their Partners in Addressing Climate Change
Public health departments have important roles to play in addressing the local health impacts of climate change, yet are often not well prepared to do so. The Climate and Health Program (CHP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created the Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) framework in 2012 as a five-step planning framework to support public health departments and their partners to respond to the health impac…
Exploring academic identities through collage-making
Black/women of colour occupying academic positions is still a novel phenomenon in many academic institutions, in South Africa and elsewhere. We explored our academic identities as early-career black/women of colour through the novel application of collage-making as a tool in collaborative autoethnography (CAE). Through collaborative collage-making, we generated personal reflections on our experiences as academics. The content of the collages and …
The psychological and behavioural correlates of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in Ireland and the UK
BACKGROUND: The successful control of the COVID-19 pandemic depends largely on the acceptance and uptake of a COVID-19 vaccine among the public. Thus, formative research aiming to understand and determine the causes of weak and/or positive vaccination intentions is vital in order to ensure the success of future and current vaccination programmes through the provision of effective, evidence-based health messaging. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey…
Women coming to terms with aging
Studies concerning the process of aging for women tend to focus on age-related physical changes and their correlates, often overlooking the psychosocial aspects of aging. The current study aims to understand women's experiences of aging, while also validating recently developed separate Q-sort scales of ego integrity and despair. Data drawn from a larger study of older college-educated women were used to examine relationships between health, conc…
Poverty, gender and old age in the Victorian and Edwardian workhouse’
The workhouse was a central facet of the new poor law and the elderly – and aged men in particular – came to dominate workhouse populations. This article is the first to analyse a very large data set of almost 4,000 workhouses from all areas of England and Wales extracted from the I-CeM data set, which reveals the composition of workhouse residents on census night by age, gender, and geography between 1851 and 1911. Factors influencing the propor…
‘I fish because I am a fisher’
In South Africa, claims for and access to natural resources are deeply embedded in people’s histories, identities and livelihood experiences. As in the case of land, access to and rights over fisheries resources is a highly contested issue where individuals and communities have equated such rights with human rights. This article considers the role of cultural and livelihood experiences of fishers in articulating claims for accessing fisheries res…
Reflections on 100 years of geography at Stellenbosch University
The Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Stellenbosch University boasts a long history of geography teaching and research. Notably, physical geography only gained traction in research only in the 1960s at Stellenbosch University and would again all but disappear from the research agenda of the department in the late 1990s and early 2000s, to be, in a sense, replaced by environmental geography. This continued until the mid 2010s, w…

Paupers Behaving Badly
The deterrent workhouse, with its strict rules for the behavior of inmates and boundaries of authority of the workhouse officers, was a central expression of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, known widely as the New Poor Law. This article explores for the first time the day-to-day experience of the power and authority of workhouse masters, matrons, other officers of the workhouse, and its Board of Guardians, and the resistance and agency of res…
Helen Berry, Orphans of Empire
This is a highly readable, hybrid popular-academic study of the London Foundling Hospital and the long-term fate of the foundlings between the mid-eighteenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries. Berry
Steven King, Sickness, Medical Welfare and the English Poor, 1750–1834
In this comprehensive and remarkably well-sourced study, King draws upon 12,904 pauper letters from every English county and the ‘operational data’ of the poor law for ‘core county envelopes’ of 117 communities, plus those from a further 146, located in the seven counties of Berkshire, Norfolk, Wiltshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Lancashire and West Yorkshire. Coroners’ reports and diaries also feature. This brings together a huge range …

You feel like your whole world is caving in
General practitioners are tasked with determining the nature of patients' emotional distress and providing appropriate care. For patients whose symptoms appear to fall near the 'boundaries' of psychiatric disorder, this can be difficult with important implications for treatment. There is a lack of qualitative research among patients with symptoms severe enough to warrant consultation, but where general practitioners have refrained from diagnosis.…

The maintenance of bastard children in London, 1790-1834
This article examines the dynamics of the maintenance of illegitimate children inLondon during the protracted 'crisis' of the old poor law between the 1790s and the 1830s. This was a period of rapidly rising illegitimacy as well as national, and metropolitan, poor law expenditure. The affiliation system offered parish officials a parallel system by which poor rates could be deflated, but analysis of the 1834TownQueries reveals that metropolitan p…

The Experience of Pregnancy and Childbirth for Unmarried Mothers in London, 1760-1866
This article explores the experience of pregnancy and childbirth for unmarried mothers in the metropolis in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It draws upon, in particular, the infanticide cases heard at the Old Bailey between 1760 and 1866. Many of the women in these records found themselves alone and afraid as they coped with the pregnancy and birth of their first child. A great deal is revealed about the birthing body: the ambiguity surr…
Discordant Harvest
Despite the geographic and context-specific nature of the relationship, the strong link between biodiversity use and poverty is acknowledged worldwide. Biodiversity is seen as both being negatively affected by, and contributing in the fight against, poverty. Agathosma betulina (buchu), a plant growing in the Cederberg Mountains in South Africa, has a global commercial value for use in medicine, food and cosmetics. It is also popular among the poo…
The Good Life
Earnings, Poor Relief and the Economy of Makeshifts
It is increasingly recognised by those engaged in the debate concerning the standard of living of workers during industrialisation that all forms of household income need to be assessed, not just male waged work. A more holistic approach also considers women and children's earnings, poor relief, and the wide range of self-provisioning activities and resources available through the ‘economy of makeshifts’. Over one hundred household budgets of agr…
Poor relief, labourers’ households and living standards in rural England c.1770–1834
This article estimates the contribution of poor relief to the household economies of the labouring poor in the two case‐study communities of Campton and Shefford, east Bedfordshire, and thereby throws further light on the standard of living of workers during industrialization in the south and east. Utilizing the technique of nominal record linkage between poor law sources and family reconstitution for the period c.1770—c.1834, the article charts …

Practitioners' Income and Provision for the Poor
By the beginning of the nineteenth century, contracts between surgeon-apothecaries and parishes to provide medical care for the poor were replacing bills by item of service. Such agreements were not only an important source of income for practitioners, but also provided a means by which parishes could predict and limit medical spending. This article is a regional study of provision for the poor in east Bedfordshire in the later eighteenth and ear…
