Professional middle-class women in Dhaka and the hardly told narratives of everyday violence and resistance within marriage
An ailing system
Cultural adaptation of a children’s weight management programme
ISRCTN81798055 , registered: 13/05/2014
Re-uniting families in the chaos of the refugee crisis
Purpose In total, 90,000 of the 1.26 million people applying for asylum in the EU in 2015 were unaccompanied children. The Dublin III Regulations provided a unique legal situation where unaccompanied young people in the Calais Jungle potentially had the right to be reunited with family in the UK. The purpose of this paper is to explore the substantial challenges presented by carrying out medico-legal assessment of this group in the Calais Jungle.…
Care, Control, and the Electroconvulsive Therapy Ritual
Despite evidence of short-term effectiveness of ECT (electroconvulsive therapy), both positive and negative patient reports are common. However, research examining these polarized accounts has not adequately elucidated why such divergences occur. We thus sought to examine opposing patient narratives to better understand underlying meanings. Eighteen interviews were conducted with U.K.-based people who had experienced the treatment. Our analysis r…
Long-term conditions, self-management and systems of support
The findings have implications for the design and delivery of primary care and community services which support the prevention and management of NCDs in an increasingly diverse population
Motherhood, ethnicity and experience
The Bangladeshi diaspora in East London exists in a rapidly changing social geography. Drawing on fieldwork conducted with Bangladeshi mothers in East London over a period of 18 months (2003-2004), this paper explores the different ways in which becoming a mother is conceptualised, and examines the cultural claims that mothers make through their narratives of motherhood. The research focuses on health and motherhood because they are important poi…
Practitioners, postnatal depression, and translation
This paper is based on research that investigated the personal, localised and institutional representations of the emotional experiences of Bangladeshi mothers in Tower Hamlets, London. The research was conducted during 2003 and 2004. Whilst the London borough of Tower Hamlets is not deprived by global standards, within the UK the borough ranks very low on certain socio-economic indicators. Simultaneously, the 'East End' can still conjure up imag…
Complaints, Sensitivities and Responsibility
The subject of this paper is a maternity services awareness day organised by a community centre in the East End of London. In what I interpret as the fractured political landscape of Tower Hamlets (in East London), this event formed a rare focus for the diverse groups of people I worked with in my fieldwork and provides a focal point through which to reflect upon issues of diaspora, culture and health care. This paper attempts to analyse the publ…
