“It feels like free help and advice at my fingertips”
Despite the popularity and reach of mental health influencer (MHI) content, research in this field is sparse. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived benefits and disadvantages of following MHIs on social media. A thematic analysis of open – ended questionnaire data from 107 respondents who followed therapists on social media yielded seven themes. Themes expressing the advantages included (1) free and accessible content, (2) af…
Interpreting Microaggressions
Microaggressions require an inferential process for their aggressive intent to be recognized. Using approaches from pragmatics, especially relevance theory, we conducted experiments to examine factors predicted to influence perceptions of an utterance as a microaggression. Participants read scenarios describing an interaction between two people and indicated their perceptions of a target remark. We expected and found that an utterance was more li…
We are here and we deserve it’
Despite an increasing focus on autism, neurodiversity and inclusion in the education sector, there remains limited awareness of the experiences, needs and strengths of autistic educators. This gap in understanding results in a failure to grasp the importance of this population in fostering inclusion and diversity across whole school communities. In this study, we explore the views and experiences of n = 10 autistic teachers in Poland via interpre…
Happier on the outside? Discourses of exclusion, disempowerment and belonging from former autistic school staff
Autistic individuals can have poor outcomes from school, including high rates of unemployment. Despite a growing focus on the work experiences of autistic people, and various approaches to remediate the difficulties they undergo, the school sector remains largely unexplored, as are the insights available from former autistic employees. In a discourse analysis of 12 former autistic school staff previously in a range of roles in the UK, the multipl…
Learning from autistic teachers
The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in major upheavals in the school education sector, particularly during periods of “lockdown” and remote working. While the impact of these changes on pupils, parents and school staff, both nationally and internationally, has been well-documented, there has been scant consideration of the effects on disabled educators. In addition, the mixed nature of the existing research findings in the special education context – …
What are the views and experiences of autistic teachers? Findings from an online survey in the UK
Despite significant research into the education of autistic children and young people (CYP) and an increased awareness of the employment needs and rights of autistic adults, little attention has been paid to autistic teachers. We discuss findings drawn from an online survey in the UK in which autistic teachers and other autistic education staff (n = 149) describe the lack of understanding, sensory impacts, mental health issues and the complexitie…
Barriers to tests and exams for autistic pupils
Despite the availability of access arrangements for tests and exams for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, many autistic children and young people have low academic achievements. There is also a lack of consensus on what their educational priorities should be and a failure to link their school programmes to longer-term outcomes. More broadly in the UK, the value of tests in primary school is contested. In this qualitative stu…
A qualitative study of partner engagement in HIV testing in Malawi and Kenya
In low-income settings, partner engagement in HIV testing during pregnancy is well recognised, but uptake remains low. To understand why men fail to engage, 76 in-depth, individual interviews were conducted with women (n = 23), men (n = 36) and community stakeholders (n = 17) in Malawi and Kenya. Transcribed data were analysed thematically. Male engagement was verbally supported. However, definitions of ‘engagement’ varied; women wanted a shared …

This study of teenage violent crime in Britain in 2008, extracted from a longer briefing paper published by the Institute of Race Relations, aims to provide a description of who was killed, by whom and in what circumstances - a factual description which has been largely missing from much media and political evaluation
Frontier Violence and the Bush Legend
The Myall Creek massacre of 1838, and the subsequent trials and execution of seven men found guilty of the murders, formed a controversial and sensational episode in Australian colonial history. This article argues that the Sydney Heralds coverage of the trials – through its portrayal of desperate settler isolation, victimisation and abandonment and its depictions of morally superior settlers and of their oft-demonised, alternately degenerate, un…
