Creating health-promoting spaces for change within the economy
Public health is in crisis, with health inequalities and environmental degradation reflecting failures and uneven power in our economy. There is interest in the potential of co-ops to address these issues. However, limited research explores if or how co-ops could reshape power dynamics towards health promotion within our current economy or wider transformation of it. Drawing on an understanding of health as the ‘capabilities for everyday living’ …
Food insecurity during Covid-19
One’s surrounding political, cultural, policy, and societal environment can influence food security status. These multiple, varied levels of contextual conditions within a location interact with each other, facilitating or impeding one’s ability to be food secure. This case study offers place-based insights into food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic in Fresno, California, based on qualitative data. Results revealed nine themes that shaped …
Commercial determinants of health
Relationships between food charities and commercial partners have been extensively critiqued by food charity scholars, particularly those that involve food corporations supporting charitable hunger relief whilst at the same time holding power over key drivers of food insecurity. This has important implications for health-related research on food charity that involves input from corporate donors. This paper argues that there is an opportunity to e…
Place‐based and people‐centred
The transition to Net Zero marks a radical reshaping of many aspects of everyday life in the effort to reduce human‐caused climate change. It also has the potential to influence positively a number of social challenges: improving public health, reducing the effects of poverty, increasing well‐being and bringing neighbourhoods together. However, these positive outcomes are by no means a given. Households on low incomes are less resilient than ever…
Corporations and the cost of living crisis
As a range of actors respond to poverty in the cost of living crisis, this paper addresses a long‐standing blind spot in social policy analysis by examining the role that corporations are playing in voluntary responses in the UK. To do this the paper introduces theories of corporate power to extend approaches to researching mixed economies of welfare, which have traditionally looked at the role of commercial entities principally in terms of their…
Supporting formerly incarcerated people before and during Covid-19
Returning to the community after being incarcerated brings many challenges. In Victoria, Australia, a government-funded contract with non-government organisations (NGOs) allocates reintegration workers to assist with the post-release social integration process. In 2020, we interviewed reintegration workers to explore how they performed their roles before and during the COVID-19 restrictions. The key finding was that building rapport to tailor sup…
Conceptualising socially inclusive environmental policy
The policy area addressing the climate crisis in the UK, ‘Net Zero’, will affect many aspects of people’s everyday life. Given that policy builds from where we are now, which for some (post austerity, and mid cost of living crisis) means in financial crisis, there is work to be done in enabling a socially inclusive Net Zero. In this article, we modify the Bristol Social Exclusion Matrix’s four forms of participation for social inclusion, drawing …

Ecstasy and Sex Among Young Heterosexual Women
MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) Ecstasy has been shown to heighten senses, feelings of intimacy, and communication. This study addresses sensual and sexual responses to Ecstasy and the potential for risky sexual behavior. Qualitative data from 41 heterosexual female Ecstasy users in New York City (ages 18–29) were analyzed. Women reported both heightened sexual (e.g., desire, arousal, orgasmic intensity) and sensual (e.g., deep emotions,…
Breastfeeding and the Symptothermal Method
This prospective study was conducted among experienced users of periodic abstinence methods in Sydney, Montreal, and Birmingham (England) in order to describe the relationship between a laboratory measurement of ovulation and the natural symptoms of fertility during breastfeeding. Daily urinary estrogen and pregnanediol glucuronide assays were used to estimate the date of ovulation and to determine potentially fertile days. A standard set of Symp…
