Community engagement and the centrality of ‘working relationships’ in health research
Community engagement (CE) is widely accepted as a critical aspect of health research because of its potential to make research more ethical, relevant and well implemented.

Exploring the past through lynchet landscapes in the Vosges Mountains and the Lorraine Plateau (France)
Lynchets are ridges formed by erosion and sediment accumulation downstream of agricultural plots and offer valuable insights into past agricultural activity. These microtopographies cover vast areas and serve as indicators of historical changes in land use. As a result, their ubiquity across Europe makes them particularly interesting. In this study, we propose a geoarchaeological approach to analyze six lynchets, four in the Vosges Mountains and …

I develop a Foucauldian analysis of the uneven relationships between local discourses and practices of `discipline', and `national' institutional frameworks - of legality, crime control and media…
