Widening access to medicine: A realist review
Widening access to medical school in Australia: A realist evaluation
I'm not 'fake rural: Rural student negotiation of identity and place in medical school
This article addresses the accessibility of medical education for rural students, focusing on the intersection of rurality and socioeconomic privilege. We present findings from a study of rural background medical students from four Australian medical schools, which explored their experiences of admissions processes and their ongoing socialisation. Participants characterised admissions pathways as complex, requiring social capital to navigate. Tho…
Governing through freedom: Mental health care in the age of empowerment
Mental health care has undergone several waves of reforms since the start of the asylum era. The current era has been shaped by the recovery movement, which seeks to increase the autonomy of service users.

Policy documents and interviews with 95 staff involved in delivering this program were analyzed using a conceptual framework …

The difficulty of coordinating service provision in interagency programs is a challenge for many working in public policy. We reflect on lessons learned through evaluating two inter‐agency supported housing programs for people with mental illness and propose a framework outlining components needed for well co‐ordinated service provision. We specify collaborative mechanisms at the policy, agency, service and client level. The key component is the …

It is based on data collected during eight months of participant observation and through semistructured interviews with ten core members and two ex-members. Working on personal feelings, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors (self-work) was central to the strategy for social change employed by this group. Drawing on Weber's sociol…
