Intertwined Histories and Present Realities
Belonging without Othering
The root of all inequality is the process of othering – and its solution is the practice of belonging We all yearn for connection and community, but we live in a time when calls for further division along the well-wrought lines of religion, race, ethnicity, caste, and sexuality are pervasive. This ubiquitous yet elusive problem feeds on fears – created, inherited – of the "other." While the much-touted diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives…
The impact of social media influencers on health outcomes
Turning the gaze
Online review and rating sites, where patients can leave feedback on their experience of the health-care encounter, are becoming an increasing feature of primary care in the NHS. Previous research has analysed how digital surveillance is re-shaping the clinical gaze, as health-care professionals are subject to increased public monitoring. Here, we draw on an empirical study of 41 GP practice staff to show how the gaze is turning, not simply from …
Health Equity and the Circle of Human Concern
Using the inequality exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic as a vivid example, this article focuses on health equity from the standpoint of structural marginalization-here, described as being marked as an "other" outside of the circle of human concern. This process leads to tension between the principles of liberty and equality and contributes to the creation of systemic disadvantage as manifested in health disparities. Creating an equitable health sy…

Caring for care
Health information work and the enactment of care in couples and families affected by Multiple Sclerosis
Given the considerable emphasis placed on informed choice, the management of health information has become an increasingly important part of living with chronic illness. This paper explores the intra-familial dynamics of managing health information in the context of chronic illness. Drawing on 77 interviews with people affected by Multiple Sclerosis in theUK(patients, partners, family members and close friends), we show how families develop their…
Select document
This article introduces a newly discovered essay by W. E. Gladstone, ‘Parliamentary Doings with the Irish Church’, originally published in the Dublin University Magazine in 1834. The introduction examines the context of the essay’s composition, relating it to the young Gladstone’s commitment to the confessional state, as well as to the contemporary debate over the appropriation of the revenues of the Church of Ireland. It then attempts to explain…

Developing a Native Digital Voice
The exclusion of Native Americans from their own cultural heritage is a persistent problem in twenty-first museums. Although in recent decades museums have greatly expanded their programs and institutional frameworks to be more inclusive, experimental projects remain vital to creating new bridges between American museums and Native Americans. In 2010 and 2011, an innovative pilot program titled the "Native American Museum and Technology Workshop"…

Challenges for providing genetic counselling in Colombian genetic clinics
Role of Environmental Confounding in the Association between FKBP5 and First-Episode Psychosis
Our results suggest that the extent to which genetic variants in FKBP5 can influence susceptibility to psychosis may depend on other etiological factors. This finding requires further validation in large independent cohorts. Potentially this work could have translational implications; the ability to discriminate between genetic etiologies based on a case-by-case understanding of previous environmental exposures would confer an important clinical …
Participant experiences of an internet-based intervention and randomised control trial
The nascent field of research on internet delivered healthcare needs to take account of participant views, as have been identified in this trial and future studies would benefit from applying its findings
Financialisation varied
Financialisation remains an unclear term in social science. We deploy a Marxist framework to establish that financialisation represents a structural transformation of advanced capitalist economies with three characteristic tendencies: non-financial enterprises have acquired capacity to engage in financial activities independently; banks have turned to mediating transactions in open markets as well as lending to households; and households have bee…
Biographical value
Illness narratives play a central role in social studies of health and illness, serving as both a key theoretical focus and a popular research method. Despite this, relatively little work has gone into conceptualising how and why illness narratives - be they in books, websites, television or other media - are commodified in contemporary healthcare and its social environment; namely, how distinctive forms of value are generated in the production, …
Being differently the same
Oh dear, should I really be saying that on here
We explore peer-to-peer discussions which took place in a UK-based diabetes 'Virtual Clinic' online community. In particular, we seek to understand the rhetorical nature and content of exchanges over a period of six months from the community's inception. Data were captured weekly and analysis based on thematic discourse analysis. Two key issues emerged regarding how the community shaped the nature of the discussion forum. First, the identity of t…
Repatriation and Constructs of Identity
This paper examines the methodology by which cultural affiliation is determined through the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) of 1990. Using a case study of cultural affiliation between the contemporary Haudenosaunee nations and the historic Susquehannock, we explore the applied frameworks and theoretical implications of how identities are constructed in the repatriation process. In particular, first, we provide an a…
Stratigraphy of the Anthropocene
The Anthropocene, an informal term used to signal the impact of collective human activity on biological, physical and chemical processes on the Earth system, is assessed using stratigraphic criteria. It is complex in time, space and process, and may be considered in terms of the scale, relative timing, duration and novelty of its various phenomena. The lithostratigraphic signal includes both direct components, such as urban constructions and man-…
The use of communication technologies for the engagement of young adults and adolescents in mental healthcare
Aims Examine the use and characteristics of communication technologies by healthcare professionals for the treatment of young people with mental health disorders. Methods A mixed-method approach was adopted. A synthesis of systematic review and qualitative evidence is presented. Using a rigorous search strategy we searched the peer-reviewed academic literature for studies which either described the use of Information and Communications Technology…

The repatriation of culturally unidentifiable human remains
For nearly two decades, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (NAGPRA) left unresolved a complex problem: the fate of Native American human remains that could not be affiliated with federally recognized tribes. In the spring of 2010, the US Department of Interior finally promulgated regulations for the disposition of these remains, providing a pathway for the potential return of 115,000 human remains. This paper prese…
Making it All Normal
Women are actively encouraged to educate themselves about pregnancy from formal sources (e.g., information leaflets, antenatal classes, books). In addition, informal stories of pregnancy and birth are routinely told between women. However, increased prenatal testing means that more fetuses are diagnosed with abnormalities, shifting the information requirements during pregnancy. Traditional sources of information cannot cover all possible outcomes…
Building Research Capacity in Social Work
This article is based on a background paper produced to inform the process of developing a research strategy for social work. First, it explores the current capacity of social work to undertake research that will inform practice. It analyses the impact of context on the imperative for, and capacity of, social work to undertake research and suggests that two interrelated factors have contributed to the limited development of methodological experti…
Increasing the Confidence and Competence of Social Work Researchers
This article presents findings from a follow-up survey designed to assess the impact of the first ESRC-funded Researcher Development Initiative (RDI) for social work. The data collected suggest that a large majority of respondents perceived substantial research-related benefits from attendance and a high rate of usage of methods in either research proposals or actual research projects. The benefits of networking and having an opportunity for clar…

Challenges of Interdisciplinary Collaboration
The realities of the 1990s, which include reduced funding and resources, the public's impatience with bureaucratic rigidity, and the empowerment of families who want timely and appropriate services, have created a favorable climate for collaborative, interdisciplinary practice. Collaborative, family-centered practice models are being promoted by family/child advocates and professionals. Yet child and family services, for the most part, continue t…

Race, poverty, and urban sprawl
This article attempts to demonstrate the need for social justice and urban civil rights advocates to focus on sprawl as well as concentrated poverty. The article posits that these are as much civil rights issues as environmental or land use issues and that sprawl has frustrated civil rights efforts. Indeed, there is strong evidence that racialized concentrated poverty is both a cause and product of sprawl and that, due to this interrelationship, …

Music and Sense in Handel's Setting of Milton's L'Allegro and Il Penseroso
MORE THAN ANY OTHER BAROQUE COMPOSER, Handel has provided us with fortunate conjunctions of music and English poetry. Among his successful unions of voice and verse, none is more ambitious in its attempt to advance poetic meaning than his setting of Milton's L'Allegro and II Penseroso. But even to recognize such ambition, to employ music to advance the meaning of a text, compels us to acknowledge our distance from what the eighteenth century unde…

Story Sacks, Children's Narratives and the Social Construction of Reality
Early literacy development and parental partnership and involvement have become key priorities in the United Kingdom. The two could be seen to be brought together in the use of ‘story sacks' as a vehicle for developing the literacy skills of both parents and children. The present small-scale study is concerned with the use of story sacks by parents and young children in a government-recognised Early Excellence Centre in the North West of England,…

Key-Mood Association
The association of certain keys with specific moods continues to be widespread despite technical evidence that all equally tempered keys are identical. This paper provides experimental results which shed light on this phenomenon. First, approximately three-quarters of participants questioned claimed to have key-mood associations. Second, the key-mood associations held by participants showed a very strong correlation to late eighteenth century ass…
Information in mental health
Background Despite the widespread proliferation of consumer health information provision, little is known about information needs or information‐seeking behaviour in mental health. A qualitative study was therefore undertaken to explore these issues for mental health service users. Design In‐depth interview study with purposive sample of 36 men and women with experience of mental health problems. Results Four main themes were identified. A genera…

Are we now living in the Anthropocene
The term Anthropocene, proposed and increasingly employed to denote the current interval of anthropogenic global environmental change, may be discussed on stratigraphic grounds. A case can be made for its consideration as a formal epoch in that, since the start of the Industrial Revolution, Earth has endured changes sufficient to leave a global stratigraphic signature distinct from that of the Holocene or of previous Pleistocene interglacial phas…
Patient perspectives on health advice posted on Internet discussion boards
Background Use of the Internet for health information by patients is growing, and there have been diverse responses to this both within the research community and the medical and health‐related professions. The use of Internet discussion boards are one way that people living with long‐term conditions can interact with their peers and offer and seek advice, support and information. We report patient perspectives on using a discussion board within …
