A Feminist Relational Discourse Analysis of mothers’ voiced accounts of the “duty to protect” children from fatness and fatphobia
Research has highlighted damaging contradictions in the responsibilisation of mothers over children's health, at once held responsible for tackling “childhood obesity” while being cautious not to encourage children to become obsessive with their bodies. While research has highlighted discourses of blame and elucidated mothers’ experiences, less is known about how mothers negotiate discourse in their voiced accounts. Utilising Feminist Relational …
Apocalyptic public health
Recent ‘obesity’ preventions focus heavily on children, widely regarded as the future of society. The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) is a flagship government programme in England that annually measures the Body Mass Index (BMI) of children in Reception (aged 4–5) and Year 6 (aged 10–11) in order to identify ‘at risk’ children and offer advice to parents. Using Foucauldian discourse analysis this study explores how discourses within t…
Critical Social Psychology of Social Class
A context-consent meta-framework for designing open (qualitative) data studies
To date, open science, particularly open data, in psychology has focused on quantitative research. This article aims to explore ethical and practical issues encountered by UK-based psychologists utilising open qualitative datasets. Semi-structured telephone interviews with eight qualitative psychologists were explored using a framework analysis. From the findings, we offer a context-consent meta-framework as a resource to help in the design of st…
Growing your own herbs” and “cooking from scratch”
In a cultural climate of “intensive parenting” and concerns about the “obesity epidemic,” parents are expected to take responsibility for their children's health, particularly through the provision of a “healthy” diet. This study involved intergenerational dyad interviews with both middle‐class and working‐class mothers and daughters from the United Kingdom. Analysing the data using discourse analysis informed by feminist poststructuralist theory…
The ‘innocent collection of details’ and journal requests to make qualitative datasets public post-consent
‘There are some circumstances where, for example, in a talk to a support group there is a risk of revealing your identity through a combination of apparently innocent details − such as a job title, a rare diagnosis, age group and family status’ (Participant Information Sheet; see, Branney et al., 2017)
‘Jamie’s Sugar Rush’
In recent decades, there has been widespread concern pertaining to an ‘obesity epidemic’. This has been accompanied by considerable media attention documenting the causes, dangers, and ‘solutions’ to this apparent ‘health crisis’. Discourses circulating in the media about health, food, and eating practices are commonly taken up and reproduced by individuals and thus constitute our subjectivities. Previous work has identified that such discourses …
Cos girls aren't supposed to eat like pigs are they?' Young women negotiating gendered discursive constructions of food and eating
While psycho-medical understandings of 'eating disorders' draw distinctions between those who 'have'/'do not have' eating disorders, feminist poststructuralist researchers argue that these detract from political/socio-cultural conditions that invoke problematic eating and embodied subjectivities. Using poststructuralist discourse analysis, we examine young women's talk around food and eating, in particular, the negotiation of tensions arising fro…
