Unlearning Fat Bias, Embracing Size Inclusion
Sizeism and fatphobia remain pervasive forms of bias that harm mental and physical health, yet counselor education curricula have largely neglected body size as a dimension of multicultural and social justice competence. This transcendental phenomenological study explored counselors-in-training’s (CITs’) experiences of learning about sizeism and fatphobia and unlearning weight bias within a graduate multicultural counseling course. Data included …
A Phenomenological Exploration of Body Image and Mental Health in Multiparous Mothers
The purpose of this study was to investigate the lived experience of mothers with multiple children as they traversed body image and related mental health implications. Mothers with multiple children may experience compounded physical recovery demands, caregiving stress, and sociocultural pressure to “bounce back,” which may uniquely shape postpartum body image and mental health experiences. Using a transcendental phenomenology approach, in-depth…
Parenting Children With Chronic Medical Needs
Children with chronic medical needs and their families encounter multifaceted and intersecting challenges, including heightened psychological stress, emotional burden, financial strain, educational barriers, and caregiver burnout. Although existing literature has begun to document these difficulties, it often falls short in capturing the depth, complexity, and meaning embedded within parents’ lived experiences. To address this gap, the present he…
Inundated With “Bounce Back” Culture
This study explored the lived experiences of and meaning made from postpartum mothers and their journey with their body image following childbirth. Using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis design, seven women were interviewed to understand their lived experiences. The Developmental Theory of Embodiment was used to help make sense of the postpartum mothers’ experience and meaning-making processes. Themes included: (a) transformation of ma…
Demoralizing Food, Bodies, and Movement
Body neutrality is a concept wherein individuals accept their bodies as a vessel that carries them through life, and as such, do not attach positive or negative feelings to their physicality. Integrating body neutrality into the parenting approach appears to be impactful for the body image and self-efficacy of children and their caregivers alike. To gain an understanding of how to promote healthy body image for children and adolescents, this phen…
Baby Steps Toward Connection
Motherhood involves intense physical, psychological, and identity transformation, and mental health difficulties can arise through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences. Dismantling group counselors’ participation in relying on Eurocentric counseling ideologies can involve reclaiming the indigenous roots of counseling and healing, including integrating Latin dance as a modality for social connection and internal healing for postpartum moth…
Dismantling Diet Culture and Sizeism with Families
Sizeism is a systemic form of discrimination that devalues one's inherent worth and personhood based on the size, shape, and weight of their body. Feminist family therapists can support the mental health needs of communities by helping dismantle and heal fatphobic messages and misunderstandings about health. This conceptual article details a group curriculum for a body neutral parenting group that creates space for parents, families, and communit…
“I Want Different for My Child
Prevalence rates of disordered eating behaviors impact 13% of young women and 7% of young men in the United States. Most existing research emphasizes the significant impact that the family of origin, namely parents, has on the children's relationship with food, their body, and exercise. Yet, little research exists on the parents’ experience healing from disordered eating and its impact on their approach to parenting. Accordingly, this paper prese…
Diaspora, trauma, spectrality and world literary writing in A Pale View of Hills
Emily Horton explores Kazuo Ishiguro’s first novel, considering his negotiation of the discourses of memory and trauma in order to investigate their relevance to postwar migrant experience. Focusing on A Pale View of Hills’s repeated engagement with Puccini’s opera Madama Butterfly, Horton demonstrates how Ishiguro provides a world literary critique of Orientalist thinking and exposes the discriminatory discourses underpinning Western accounts of…
What’s Real?”
This article investigates the relationship between affect, digital technology, and neoliberalism in Jennifer Egan’s second and third novels: Look at Me (2001) and The Keep (2006). I argue that this relationship is central to Egan’s politicized (post-postmodern) understanding of the contemporary subject, whose feeling is overtly conditioned by the new media culture and technology as well as by the aspirational and elitist orientation of neoliberal…
Drivelines, hunting blinds, effigies and intercept hunting strategies in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, USA
This paper shares a description of cairn lines and hunting blinds in association with an ice patch in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Until now no definitive stone features, including drivelines and hunting blinds, have been reported in association with Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem ice patches; however, such features are known from ice patches in northern North America, eg Yukon Territory. In the system reported here, the ice patch is presume…
A Genuine Old-Fashioned English Butler”
In the context of twenty-first century global conservatism, where anti-immigrant sentiment is everywhere apparent, the importance of Ishiguro’s writing arguably lies in its on-going challenge to this perspective’s faulty logic and its capacity to reveal the radical violence behind nationalist political attacks on minority and immigrant populations. In this article I explore this challenge explicitly through a politically-oriented reading of The R…
Ali Smith

Covering her complete oeuvre, from the short stories to her most recent novel There but for the, this is the first comprehensive critical guide to Smith's work. Bringing together leading scholars, Ali Smith: Contemporary Critical Perspectives covers such topics as: Language,…
The Manufacture of Tinplate at Redbrook, 1930-61
Redbrook Tinplate Works was the last of the 'hand-mill' works in Great Britain to close, in 1961. The works outlasted the others of its type by eight years. This was due chiefly to the fact that it manufactured the thinnest tinplate in the world at that time — the Redbrook 'Tagger'. The processes, hot-rolling, cold-rolling, pickling, annealing, tinning, dusting, sorting and packing are described. The development of the 'strip-mills' of South Wale…
