  • Rethinking fussiness in commercial food contexts

    Open Access•Juliet Bennett, Ian Harper et al.•ARTICLE•Health Promotion International•2026

    So-called ‘fussy’ or ‘picky’ eating has been construed as a problem of parenting feeding practices and children’s defiant eating behaviours. However, this ‘fussiness’ about food unfolds in a food environment rife with misleading marketing messages, conflicting information, and the widespread availability of ultra-processed food (UPF). Where fussiness leads to dietary patterns high in UPF, it can have significant implications for a child’s life-lo…

  • Caring infrastructures for sexual health and the implications of antibiotic-resistant STIs

    Open Access•Chandra, Shiva Chandra et al.•ARTICLE•Health Sociology Review•2026

    Infrastructures fundamentally shape sexual health, but their gaps and failings often only come into view during moments of crisis. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a looming microbiological and global societal crisis, and one that is posing increasing challenges and risks for medical practice and public health alike. In sexual health, concerns have been raised about growing resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and the less well-known Mycoplasma g…

  • A hydrological breakdown of containment logics

    Open Access•Jianni Tien, K Kenny•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning E Nature…•2026

    Social science scholarship has long explored the spatial, political and embodied dimensions of contamination, attending to the ways pollutants are unevenly distributed and unreliably contained. In this framing, waste is relegated elsewhere , to people and places deemed expendable. However, while exposures to waste and other forms of contamination remain deeply uneven, we are also witnessing a shift into a new era in which toxic exposures are incr…

  • Unpacking the Assumptions, Oversights and Consequences that Surround Young People’s Difficulties in Accessing Chronic Illness Diagnosis and Care

    Open Access•Ian Harper, Nicole Cort et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Applied Youth Studies•2026

    Young people living with chronic illness navigate a series of age-specific difficulties that emerge from the way in which both youth and chronic illness are constructed in social and healthcare imaginaries. In this article we draw on 33 interviews with young adults (aged 19–29 years) living in Australia to examine the ways in which age is a factor that shapes the barriers and biases young people face when seeking therapeutic interventions for ill…

  • Precarious living in the age of precision medicine

    Open Access•K Kenny, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2026

    Owing in large part to the rise of precision medicine, cancers that were once considered ‘terminal’ now often entail long-term treatability alongside ongoing incurability. The resulting chronic malignancy is fundamentally reconfiguring the meaning and experience of living with cancer and – we argue – illustrates some of the key features of precarious living, more generally. Drawing on 132 in-depth interviews and building from Lauren Berlant’s ide…

  • Accounting for Death

    Open Access•Alex Broom, H Byrne et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2026•Referencias: 35

    Death is a highly and increasingly economised process in which individual, family, institutional and state finances play important, but often opaque, roles in shaping the contours of dying. Drawing on 44 in-depth interviews with people who are dying, their family and their healthcare providers, this article explores how economic rationalities profoundly shape almost every dimension of their experiences of the end of life. Circulating within this …

  • Speculative Frontiers of Technoscience and Innovation

    Open Access•Jianni Tien, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•Bulletin of Science Technology &…•2025

    This paper revisits nanotechnology as a once-speculative field that attracted significant interest from science and technology studies (STS) scholars during its promissory phase, yet has received comparatively little attention now that it is partially institutionalised and entangled in the everyday practices of research and innovation. We approach nanotechnology as a compelling case that now offers the opportunity to study what becomes of technos…

  • Ensuring Responsible Nanotechnology Innovation

    Open Access•Jianni Tien, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•NanoEthics•2025•Referencias: 1

    The challenge of considering the ethical, environmental, economic, social, legal and cultural (E 3 LSC) dimensions of nanotechnology innovation is of enduring and increasing importance for societies worldwide. This is made more pressing due to rising public interest in the realms of AI and quantum technology. Drawing on an interdisciplinary collaboration between nanotechnology and social science researchers, this paper discusses how E 3 LSC dimen…

  • Future/tense

    Open Access•K Kenny, L W Veazey et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Sociology•2025•Referencias: 23

    The last few years of pandemic living have highlighted various temporal tensions that characterise our individual and collective futures. In some ways, the scale of temporal disruption caused by the pandemic could be considered unprecedented. But in other ways, the temporal tensions that underpin social life are long-standing, even routine. In this special issue, ‘Future/Tense: A Sociology of Temporal Dis/Order’, we take the intensification of te…

  • Buying Time

    Open Access•Sophie Lewis, M Franklin et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2025•Referencias: 4

    Understandings of living well with incurable, life‐limiting disease are limited. This article examines how living with a ‘contracted future’, albeit of uncertain duration, affects how one spends time (wisely) in the present and plans future time. Mobilising the concept of timescapes and interviews with women with metastatic breast cancer, we examined how an incurable prognosis shaped how women experienced time, what meanings they ascribed to time…

  • The (Anti)Microbial Gaze

    Open Access•K Kenny, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Science Technology & Human Values•2025•Referencias: 53

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a rapidly escalating global health threat, known increasingly through different forms of monitoring. Surveillance, both of resistant organisms and of the antimicrobial prescribing practices that contribute to their proliferation, has increased dramatically over the last decade. So too have audits, which are routinely deployed to evaluate, and ensure accountability for, the alignment of local prescribing practices…

  • Chronic Concealment and Awareness in the Affective Worlds of Young People Living With Chronic Illness

    Open Access•Ian Harper, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Health Research•2025•Referencias: 89

    From the onset of chronic illness, a variety of challenges emerge-challenges that both persist and evolve as life progresses. For young adults living with chronic illness, the age-specific difficulties of becoming ill while young form a foundation that shapes their experience of illness in enduring ways. This paper draws on a series of in-depth qualitative interviews with 33 young adults (aged 19-29 years old) living with a range of chronic illne…

  • Cultures of Activity, Cultivating Resistance

    Open Access•K Kenny, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Health Research•2025•Referencias: 40

    The problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is often viewed through biomedical and/or behavioral lenses, with the underlying economic principles and "headwinds" shaping resistance less visible. In this paper, we focus on how healthcare funding models structure the ways AMR is perceived and addressed as an institutional priority. Specifically, we explore how activity-based funding reflects and operationalizes ingrained assumptions about what is …

  • GBTQ+ safe sex entanglements

    Open Access•Chandra, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2025•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 42

    Few studies have explored community experiences of our increasingly resistant bacterial landscape, and, in the sphere of sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and antimicrobial resistance, there is even greater absence of community-centred research. This is despite a growth in STI transmission worldwide, which, alongside accelerated resistance, will disproportionately affect GBTQ+ (gay, bisexual, trans, queer+) populations. In this article, dr…

  • Tensions of time at the end (of life)

    Open Access•Alex Broom, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2025•Referencias: 18

    Perhaps the most valuable asset in our cultural imaginary is time. Yet, this notion of time-as-asset intensifies, is contested, and is often derailed at the end of life. When faced with death, time can become many things, including both personal and interpersonal asset and liability. Bringing the concept of time and dying into focus, this paper draws on qualitative interviews with 15 people nearing death in an Australian specialist palliative car…

  • It's very hard to have a future when you can't travel

    Open Access•L W Veazey, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Sociology•2025•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 51

    Being diagnosed with a life-limiting illness entails a fundamental reshaping of one's relationship with the future. From 'bucket lists' of destinations and experiences to 'flights of hope' for experimental or specialised medical care, diagnoses of serious illness are deeply entwined with travel in Australian cultural narratives. In this paper, we draw on a thematic analysis of interviews with cancer patients and their carers to ask what meanings …

  • Living and Dying in Shadow Times

    Open Access•Nadine Ehlers, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2025•Referencias: 37

    Normative time frameworks obscure the ontological ambiguities of lived time, particularly in relation to illness and death. These forms of ambiguous lived time constitute what we call 'shadow time' - the unnoticed and the unknowable in our dominant temporal order. We examine what we call 'diagnostic time', 'prognostic time', 'terminal time' and 'mourning time' as shades of shadow time that elude the ordering of time that orders life. A critical s…

  • Dying as a Collective Encounter

    Open Access•Alex Broom, Nicole Cort et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2025•Referencias: 14

    The end of life is replete with relational complexities. Yet, despite the work of humanities and social science scholars in the field of death and dying, our final days and weeks are still often framed through a highly individualistic lens. As a result, the collective encounters of dying can become sidelined within the management of an individual's embodied journey. This, in some cases, has the effect of obscuring the presence and power of collec…

  • Treatment 'cultures', sexually transmitted infections and the rise of antimicrobial resistance

    Open Access•Chandra, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2025•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 9

    In this article, we examine the current management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), in the context of rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR), through the lens of 'treatment cultures'. Prevailing treatment cultures-including the prominence of syndromic care for STIs-foster certain possibilities and foreclose others, with important consequences for countering AMR. Drawing on qualitative interviews with STI professionals, experts and indust…

  • Nurturing futures through the maternal microbiome

    Open Access•Roberta Pala, K Kenny•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2025•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 7

    Recently there has been growing recognition of the productive and protective features of our microbial kin and the crucial role of 'commensal' microbes in supporting and sustaining health. Current microbiological and pharmacological literature is increasingly highlighting the role of maternal gut microbiomes in the long-term health of both mothers and children. Drawing on the information and advice directed towards Australian parents from concept…

  • Navigating the Limits of Diagnosis

    Open Access•Ian Harper, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2024•Referencias: 24

    Young adults living with chronic illness often experience considerable uncertainty across the emotional, cultural and medical spheres of their everyday lives. The process of seeking, receiving and reckoning with a diagnosis has frequently been an in‐road for qualitative examinations of these experiences. As a result, the biomedical diagnosis has often taken centre stage in research concerning how uncertainty is managed and/or more stability is fo…

  • Emerging Dilemmas in the Age of Resistance

    Open Access•Chandra, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Health Research•2024•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 48

    The stage is set for a new era of precariousness in modern medicine, driven by the increasing failure of a key pharmaceutical pillar-antimicrobials. In the context of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the rise of antimicrobial resistance is introducing urgent questions around what might constitute "best practice" in a rapidly evolving scene, including the value of asymptomatic screening (test and treat), and the consequent downstream collat…

  • Lung cancer after the genomic turn

    Open Access•Jianni Tien, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2024•Referencias: 45

    The lungs serve as a site of interchange between the bodily and environmental, an interface between the internal and external world, enacted through breath. We draw on the primacy of this exchange to explore the complexities of living with lung cancer amidst the enduring social challenge of stigma and the advent of 'targeted therapies' at the cutting edge of precision medicine. Lung cancer's association with smoking and resulting stigmatisation o…

  • The biopolitics of global health

    Open Access•K Kenny, Katherine E Kenny•ARTICLE•Journal of Sociology•2015•Citada por: 25•Referencias: 53

    The opening years of the 21st century have witnessed the rise of 'global health' as the preferred label for attempts to govern the health of the global population. In this article, I locate the epistemological origins of global health in the introduction of the Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) metric in the World Bank's Investing in Health report. I argue that the DALY metric accomplishes an economization of life by disaggregating lifetimes i…

  • On waiting, hauntings and surviving

    Open Access•Alex Broom, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2018•Citada por: 17•Referencias: 45

    The 'typical' trajectory of a person with cancer has been from diagnosis, through treatment, and towards cure (life) or the end of life (death). Yet, cancer survivorship as a social practice is no longer contained by such neat categorisations. Much of the lived experience of cancer now centres on: living with, rather than beyond, disease; the perpetuity of treatment rather than the spectre of disease; and, making sense of incurability. Using a so…

  • The administration of harm

    Open Access•Alex Broom, Nicole Cort et al.•ARTICLE•Critical Social Policy•2023•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 76

    Harm is a recurring theme in the social sciences. Scholars in a range of empirical areas have documented the deleterious outcomes that at times emerge from social structures, institutions and systems of governance. Yet these harms have often been presented under the rubric of ‘unintended consequences’. The outcomes of systems are designed to appear devoid of intentionality, in motion without any clear agency involved, and are thus particularly ad…

  • A sociology of precision-in-practice

    Open Access•K Kenny, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2021•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 16

    The idea of 'precision medicine', which has gained increasing traction since the early 2000s, is now ubiquitous in health and medicine. Though varied in its implementation across fields, precision medicine has raised hopes of revolutionary treatments and has spurred the proliferation of novel therapeutics, the alteration of professional trajectories and various reconfigurations of health/care. Nowhere is the promise of precision medicine more app…

  • Entangled and Estranged

    Open Access•Alex Broom, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2020•Citada por: 11•Referencias: 36

    Serious illness has typically been explored as emergent within the relatively linear unfolding of the steady march of time. Here, focusing on cancer and drawing on the accounts of patient/carer dyads, we propose a relational ontology of the affective and temporal entanglements of living-with disease. Emphasising the iterative intra-activity of vital matter and social meaning as they are repatterned across time, we examine the enfolding of various…

  • The collective/affective practice of cancer survivorship

    Open Access•Alex Broom, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Sociology•2019•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 50

    Whether within an atmosphere of hope, or amidst relations of fear, the emotions of cancer are unavoidably collectively produced. Yet persistent individualistic paradigms continue to obscure how the emotions of cancer operate relationally - between bodies, subjects, discourses, and practices - and are intertwined with circulating beliefs, cultural desires, and various forms of normativity. Drawing on interviews with 80 people living with cancer in…

    This article explores the experience and meaning of time from the perspective of caregivers who have recently been bereaved following the death of a family member. The study is situated within the broader cultural tendency to understand bereavement within the logic of stages, including the perception of bereavement as a somewhat predictable and certainly time-delimited ascent from a nadir in death to a 'new normal' once loss is accepted. Drawing …

We point to the recent growth of ironic humour within such texts, and examine how this operates to construct gendered and embodied subjectivities that position women according to a masculine gaze. Drawing on empirical data from self-help books for career women published between 1997 and 2007, we analyse the styles of embodiment that these texts promote. We …

    Open Access•Alex Broom, Emma Kirby et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2016•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 27

    Caring for the dying presents perhaps the most challenging site of informal care. Participation in informal caring roles in such contexts has been prone to reification as a virtuous social practice, often without critical reflection as to the implications for caregivers. Here, drawing on interviews with carers who were providing care in the last few weeks or days of life, we develop an understanding of informal care in this setting as a morally a…

    As the culture of silence that once surrounded cancer has gradually given way to greater public awareness, normative visions of what cancer survivorship should entail have proliferated. These visions emphasise positivity and perseverance in pursuit of cure. While these visions provide comfort to many, for people with metastatic cancer, the emphasis on cure can undermine their sense of belonging to the broader collective of people living with canc…

Yet, there has been comparatively little exploration of their experiences therein, especially within the context of cancer care. Here, drawing on semi-structured qualitative interviews with 16 Australian male carers for a relative with cancer, and using constructivist grounded theory, we explore their experiences of informal caring. Our analysis highlights a se…

Drawing on life history interviews and photo elicitation with 43 people who identify as migrants and live with cancer, here we argue for the significance of recognising complex personhood as it inflects illness and care. Drawing on social science theory around temporalities, moralities and belonging, we assemble a series of cross-cutting themes at the interse…

Here, we draw on sociological theory to interrogate the ontological politics of living with (and alongside) cancer. That is, how is cancer understood, made meaningful and enacted in relation to various others. Drawing on 130 interviews with people living with cancer and those c…

  • Antimicrobial resistance as a problem of values? Views from three continents

    Open Access•Alex Broom, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•Critical Public Health•2020

    Much has been written about the problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the action required to rein in this emerging global health threat. Addressing AMR is often operationalised as requiring ‘behavior change’ of clinicians and of patients, in combination with improving the drug development pipeline. Few have approached AMR as a challenge fundamentally embedded within the cultural fabric of modern societies and the (varied) ways they are or…

  • Reciprocity, Autonomy, and Vulnerability in Men's Experiences of Informal Cancer Care

    Open Access•K Kenny, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Health Research•2020•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 47

    Men are increasingly participating, and acknowledging their roles, as informal carers. Yet, there has been comparatively little exploration of their experiences therein, especially within the context of cancer care. Here, drawing on semi-structured qualitative interviews with 16 Australian male carers for a relative with cancer, and using constructivist grounded theory, we explore their experiences of informal caring. Our analysis highlights a se…

  • Entangled and Estranged

    Open Access•Alex Broom, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2020•Citada por: 11•Referencias: 36

    Serious illness has typically been explored as emergent within the relatively linear unfolding of the steady march of time. Here, focusing on cancer and drawing on the accounts of patient/carer dyads, we propose a relational ontology of the affective and temporal entanglements of living-with disease. Emphasising the iterative intra-activity of vital matter and social meaning as they are repatterned across time, we examine the enfolding of various…

  • The moral cosmology of cancer

    Open Access•Alex Broom, K Kenny•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2021•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 37

    More than a threat to embodied existence, cancer threatens various dimensions of social existence, including the general sense of inhabiting an ordered and moral universe. Here, we draw on sociological theory to interrogate the ontological politics of living with (and alongside) cancer. That is, how is cancer understood, made meaningful and enacted in relation to various others. Drawing on 130 interviews with people living with cancer and those c…

  • Personhood, belonging, affect and affliction

    Open Access•Alex Broom, Sophie Lewis et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2021•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 36

    What does migrancy mean for personhood, and how does this flow through caring relations? Drawing on life history interviews and photo elicitation with 43 people who identify as migrants and live with cancer, here we argue for the significance of recognising complex personhood as it inflects illness and care. Drawing on social science theory around temporalities, moralities and belonging, we assemble a series of cross-cutting themes at the interse…

  • A sociology of precision-in-practice

    Open Access•K Kenny, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2021•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 16

    The idea of 'precision medicine', which has gained increasing traction since the early 2000s, is now ubiquitous in health and medicine. Though varied in its implementation across fields, precision medicine has raised hopes of revolutionary treatments and has spurred the proliferation of novel therapeutics, the alteration of professional trajectories and various reconfigurations of health/care. Nowhere is the promise of precision medicine more app…

  • Paradoxes of pandemic infection control

    Open Access•L W Veazey, Alex Broom et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Qualitative Research in…•2022

    From the adoption of mask-wearing in public settings to the omnipresence of hand-sanitising, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has brought unprecedented cultural attention to infection prevention and control (IPC) in everyday life. At the same time, the pandemic threat has enlivened and unsettled hospital IPC processes, fracturing confidence, demanding new forms of evidence, and ultimately involving a rapid reassembling of what constitutes safe care. Here,…

  • Living (well) with cancer in the precision era

    Open Access•Alex Broom, K Kenny et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Qualitative Research in…•2022

    Surviving cancer in the precision era of targeted drugs and immunotherapies increasingly involves surviving-with malignancy. Against this backdrop of precision, innovation and chronicity, this paper offers a person-centred examination of some of the emerging intersections of chronic living and cancer treatment. Using a temporally extended qualitative methodology drawing on solicited diaries and successive in-depth interviews with people receiving…
