Navigating “proper food” and “good mothering” on social media
This study contributes to understandings about how UK mothers use social media practices to navigate, negotiate and enact family food provisioning. ‘Proper food’ and ‘good mothering’ remain entangled sociocultural conventions that govern a range of food provisioning practices. In the face of time pressures and the challenges of children’s fussy eating, we explore how mothers use social media to avoid misaligning their practice performances with t…
Understanding Failed Ethical Consumption Through a Socio-Cultural Lens
This article examines how ethical consumption is constrained by the configuration of social practices by focusing specifically on online fashion shopping. Existing ethical consumption research shows that consumers’ pro-environmental and pro-social concerns fail to translate into ethical purchasing actions. Such research has focused on the idea of a rational consumer motivated to act ethically. Conversely, we advance a socio-cultural perspective o…
The emergence of new mountain biking media practices
Mountain biking has grown rapidly in the past thirty years, yet only 20% of participants in the UK are women. Prior research on media representations in action sports identifies its role in reproducing masculine sporting cultures. Focus on mountain biking is limited, and has failed to give voice to women’s experiences with the sport’s media, nor explore the entanglement between sport and media practices. This study takes a practice theory approac…
Emotional Reflexivity and Lifelong Leisure Time Physical Activity
This article examines leisure time physical activity (LTPA) for middle-class women as relational, intricately linked with societal understandings of personal responsibility to work, to family and to health and entangled with the emotion management of 'successful' middle-class womanhood. We focus on middle-class Danish women who engage in routinised participation in LTPA. We illuminate through our qualitative study how emotional reflexivity involv…
“I need to be looking fit to exercise”
This qualitative study extends our understanding of the body in practice theoretic consumption research by illuminating its roles in the pre-performative practices that mothers routinely perform when considering the possibility of exercise; namely body evaluation and projection practices. These practices construct the ‘mothering body’ as a failing body because it does not exercise, which is set against the ‘exercising body’ which connotes an effo…
Food practices adaptation
COVID-19 impact on global and national food systems, along with associated physical restrictions, lockdowns, and school closures, have led to dramatic changes in families' everyday food practices. Our research explored the way food practices adapted and emerged, allowing families to cope with the disruption caused by COVID-19. We recruited 18 low socio-economic status families with primary school children across the United Kingdom and New Zealand…
Understanding health inequalities through a practice-oriented 'capabilities' perspective. Motherhood and leisure time physical activity
In this article, we explore how a capabilities perspective can advance practice theoretic conceptualisations of persistent health inequalities. Specifically, we seek to understand the capabilities necessary for recruitment to leisure time physical activity (LTPA) practices by low SES mothers, a group traditionally excluded from LTPA. Our study illuminates that mothers living a life of social disadvantage face difficulties in becoming recruited to…
Reimagining parental engagement in special schools – a practice theoretical approach
Parental engagement is widely acknowledged to have a positive impact on children’s achievement, and interventions to increase parental engagement have had some success in improving educational outcomes for children in mainstream settings. However, there has been little research on parental engagement in special schools, despite some studies indicating that the challenges of parenting children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)…
The body politics of successful ageing in the nexus of health, well-being and energy consumption practices
Understanding whole school physical activity transition from a practice theory perspective
Purpose In this study, the authors offer a practice theory framing of school physical activity transition with conceptual and managerial contributions to whole school approaches (WSAs). Design/methodology/approach Based on a literature overview of the limitations of WSA, ecological and systems theorisation and a practice theory framing of physical activity, the authors introduce a model that identifies signs of practice transition and conceptuali…
We're just stuck in a daily routine
The reduced physical activity of women when they become mothers is a public health priority. Existing studies show that mothers have little time for leisure, or time that is fragmented and requiring negotiation with others. However, the temporal features of mothering are undertheorised and qualitative studies tend to focus on how mothers can skilfully construct physically active identities and balance societal expectations about being a 'good mot…
Changing emotional engagement with running through communal self-tracking
Emerging research explores the role of self-tracking in supporting healthy behaviour. Self-tracking comprises a number of interrelated practices; some individual some communal. In this article, we focus on practices that enable interaction between self-trackers through data sharing and communication around personal data. For public health, communal self-tracking has been explored for the additional benefits it provides in addition to self-knowled…
A practice theory approach to primary school physical activity
A significant body of critical scholarship exists problematizing the dominant behaviouralindividualist approaches to public health policy and intervention, and practice theories have\nbeen noted for their potential in providing an alternative. Children’s physical activity in\nprimary school settings continues to be a major area of attention in public health, yet no\ncritical examination of a practice theory approach exists in this context. This p…
The Brand Equity of the Liberal Democrats in the 2010 General Election
This paper considers the Liberal Democrat party as a brand, using appropriate branding concepts to analyze the fortunes of the party during the 2010 General Election. It explains Nick Clegg as a key influence on the brand's image nationally (the party leader as national brand spokesperson) and how the national image was moderated by Jeremy Browne (the focal constituency candidate and local brand spokesperson). The analysis then considers the effe…
