Addressing digital exclusion to improve access to HIV and viral hepatitis care for people who experience criminalization
People who experience criminalization, such as those who use drugs, are incarcerated, and are affected by homelessness, have a high prevalence of HIV and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and low treatment uptake in British Columbia. Barriers to care include unreliable means of maintaining contact with healthcare providers. To reduce these barriers, the Test, Link, Call (TLC) Project provides cell phones and peer health mentors to support acce…
Reinfection following successful direct-acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus infection among people with recent injecting drug use
The relatively high incidence of reinfection seen in this study underscores the importance of targeted harm reduction measures and monitoring for HCV reinfections within the first year following successful treatment among people who inject drugs. Additional research into integrated models of care incorporating harm reduction and supporting reducing risk of reinfection and HCV treatment are needed

Disclosure of HIV-serodiscordant relationships and association with viral suppression
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the effects of disclosure of HIV-serodiscordant relationships on clinical outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the effect of relationship disclosure on HIV viral suppression, and hypothesized that disclosure by HIV-positive and HIV-negative partners would be associated with viral suppression in the HIV-positive partner. METHODS: We conducted a Canadian national online and telephone-administered survey of HIV-positive a…

Individual‐Level Determinants of Religious Intergenerational Transmission
Although there is a rich body of research on religious transmission, relatively little attention has been given to studying this within specific religious traditions such as Catholicism, especially in Europe. Using data from the 2018 round of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), this study uses regression analysis to investigate individual‐level determinants of religious transmission in 12 European countries with a Catholic tradition…
The sociology of Catholicism
This article seeks to review recent research and scholarship in the sociology of Catholicism, as well as focusing on areas needing greater attention. In taking stock of this literature, I identify institutional change, church‐society interactions, institutional resources and influence, and the church as international actor as four key topics that have engaged scholarship. I review existing research under each, as well as highlighting gaps and bli…
Hepatitis C virus infection characteristics and treatment outcomes in Canadian immigrants
A diverse immigrant population is engaging care in Canada, initiating HCV antiviral therapy in an equitable fashion and achieving SVR proportions similar to Canada-born patients. Our Canadian experience may be of value in informing HCV elimination efforts in economically developed regions

Catholic Commitment Around the Globe
This article investigates variation in Catholic religious commitment in different macro world regions. Although sociologists have examined variation in Catholic religiosity, this research has tended to be limited to Western European and Latin American contexts and has not gone beyond employing more than one measure of religiosity. In addition, prior research has rarely examined the effect of several explanatory frameworks together. Drawing on dat…

Contexts of Trends in the Catholic Church's Male Workforce
Using case pattern analysis, this study examines Catholic male workforce trends in the majority Catholic countries of Chile, Ireland, and Poland. Employing denominational data for three categories of church male professionals in the 1950–2010 time period, I document four important trends. First, ordinations to the diocesan priesthood in Ireland went into decline especially after Vatican II, have been relatively stable in Chile with only a moderat…

Religious institutions and sexual scandals
Using a comparative-historical framework, this article examines how religious organizational responses to a shared stigmatizing scandal, arising from the sexual abuse of children by church personnel, differ across diverse locales – Ireland, South Africa, and the United States – of a single religious tradition, in this case the Roman Catholic Church. Drawing on previous literature, I identify three perspectives related to responses to sexual scand…
The Lure of an Irish Catholic Diocesan Seminary
In 2010 the Council for Research and Development, the research entity of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference, commissioned a study to investigate the seminary routes, seminary experiences, and social backgrounds of seminarians for the Catholic diocesan priesthood in the pontifical university at St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth, the only still operating Catholic seminary in the Republic of Ireland. The research, which was completed in early 2014…
Religious Public Discourses and Institutional Structures
This article examines the public claims-making and institutional arrangements of the Catholic Church through a comparative-historical study of the Catholic leadership conferences of Chile, Ireland, and Nigeria. Guided by theories from the sociology of religion and organizations, and drawing on historical and documentary sources including a content analysis of forty-two national-level pastoral letters, I document three empirical findings. First, t…
Social Correlates of Church Attendance in Three European Catholic Countries
The sociology of religion literature recognizes secularization as an uneven process complicated by individual and country-level variables. However, considerably less attention has been given to how correlates of church attendance vary across divergent settings within a single religious denomination. Employing recent data from Belgium, Ireland, and Slovenia, we test whether the belief, ideological support for the church, and religious commitment c…

Determinants and Consequences of Social Trust
This article provides an overview of social trust, examining its various aspects and components. Trust is best understood in a sociological sense by focusing on its important relational characteristic. Following this lead, the article discusses briefly how social trust relates to social capital and examines factors that shape the development of social trust, along with outcomes related to variations in trust, classifying them by analytical level …

New Directions in the Sociology of Collective Memory and Commemoration
The study of memory straddles a wide range of social science disciplines including sociology, psychology, anthropology, and geography. Within sociology, reviews of the literature have already been carried out, but these are now somewhat dated. This article takes the measure of recent prior research on the sociology of collective memory and commemoration by (1) proposing a classification of collective memory research; (2) organising the literature…
Commemoration and Bloody Sunday
In this wide-ranging study of the politics of memory in Northern Ireland, Brian Conway examines the 'career' of the commemoration of Bloody Sunday, and looks at how and why the way this historic event
Texts, Bodies, and the Memory of Bloody Sunday
We examine here recent arguments that embodied experience is an important site of collective memory, and related challenges to the standard emphasis on discourse and symbols in collective memory research. We argue that although theories of embodied memory offer new insights, they are limited by (1) an overdrawn distinction between embodied memory and textual memory that neglects the complex relations between the two, (2) an overemphasis on ritual…
Attachments, Grievances, Resources, and Efficacy
This study uses data from the Multi-City Study of Urban Inequality to examine variation in tenant association participation among public housing tenants in Boston and Los Angeles. Using logistic regression models we estimate the net effects of four sets of factors on the likelihood that a tenant has attended tenant association meetings: neighborhood attachments, grievances, resources and constraints, and feelings of efficacy. Results show that ne…
Local conditions, global environment and transnational discourses in memory work
Within the collective memory literature, very few scholars have sought to examine commemoration through the lens of globalization theory even though it poses challenges to understandings of time and space that underpin memory studies. This article examines the local political conditions and global institutional environment influencing memory discourses. Drawing on the case of Bloody Sunday (1972), I examine the role of memory choreographers in co…
The ‘miracle’ of Fatima
This article examines media coverage of one local authority housing estate in Dublin with a difficult past. Fatima Mansions was built between 1949 and 1951 as part of a government policy to re-house the city’s poor. The estate enjoyed a relatively unremarkable history up until the 1970s. A heroin problem developed in the estate in the 1980s and contributed to its negative media construction, such that by the end of the 1990s the estate was widely…
Rethinking Difficult Pasts
The sociological literature on collective memory puts forward fragmented and multivocal commemorations as two dominant ways of responding to difficult pasts. This article argues that there is room for improvement in these models by specifying the conditions under which a controversial past can be remembered initially in a fragmented way and, with greater temporal distance from the original event, can evolve into a more consensual form of commemor…

Catholic Sociology in Ireland in Comparative Perspective
Moving through Time and Space
This paper examines the embodied remembrance of Bloody Sunday (1972), when thirteen civilians were shot dead by British soldiers while peacefully marching against internment. The work of Paul Connerton represents a crucial analytical starting point in a growing number of studies examining the body as site of memory. While Connnerton's theorisation has been very influential and persuasive, I argue that there is some scope for improving his ideas a…

A’ simple People Who Want a Simple Memorial’
About halfway down Rossville Street in Derry’s Bogside stands a memorial to the thirteen civilians shot dead on Bloody Sunday. The site of the memorial, known locally as “Speaker’s Corner”, was an obvious, logical and highly symbolic one, 1 given that the victims had died on the spot or close by, in Glenfada Park, and had used the already-existing concrete platform at the corner to take cover on the day of the tragic shootings. The event commemor…
Introduction
Just a day after newspaper coverage invoked the memory of the Holocaust to make sense of the killing by British soldiers of thirteen civilians while peacefully marching against internment in Derry, Northern Ireland. 1 An article in the nationalist Derry Journal newspaper under the title ‘The March That Ended in a River of Blood’ registered the deeply felt collective anger among Derry people and observed that ‘as more eyewitness accounts of the ho…
The Politics of Visual Memory
As part of the research for this book, one interviewee, after an extended interview, guided me into the front sitting-room to show me photographs of one of the Bloody Sunday dead. Recalling that in the early 1970s the loss associated with his death was too great for participating in the annual commemorative march, in the 1990s this interviewee went on the march and become more involved in and an active member of the then emerging Bloody Sunday Ju…
‘The Holocaust that was the Bogside of Sunday’
The newspaper account that opened this book related that almost immediately after it happened Bloody Sunday was symbolically linked to other historical events, most notably the Holocaust but also, as the 1973 NICRA leaflet reveals, with Sharpeville and My Lai. This initial deployment of a global idiom did not last long, however, and was soon displaced by a nationalist victimhood discourse as Irish republicans claimed ownership of the meaning of t…
Conclusion
In the first chapter of this book I posed a fairly straightforward question: how has the way Bloody Sunday been commemorated changed over time and how can this change be accounted for? In attempting to answer this question I talked to people who worked over the years in keeping the memory of the event alive. I examined newspaper accounts, letters, commemorative programmes, press releases and the like in search of information about when various si…
Bloody Sunday in Historical Perspective
Bloody Sunday tends to be viewed as a key spark of “the Troubles” and as a switchpoint of Northern Irish politics. On the face of it, this seems plausible enough, but if one were to indulge for a moment in the hypothetical question of “what if Bloody Sunday never happened?” a good case could be made that “the Troubles” would have unfolded anyhow — considering that by its own account the IRA began its violent challenge to British state power befor…
On the March
On a cold Sunday afternoon in January 2007, a few hundred people gathered outside the shops in the Creggan area of the city. Just a short distance away is the Catholic church where the funerals of the dead took place. Along the railings in front of the shops Irish republican banners bearing the symbols of republican cumann, or branches, stand upright, their bright colours of red, green and yellow throwing the dark grey clouds overhead into sharp …
