Unmarked lives, unsettled spaces
This study adopts an interdisciplinary approach to interrogate a creative public history project commemorating Horton Cemetery in Epsom, Surrey – Europe’s largest asylum burial ground containing around 9,000 unmarked graves. The ‘Out of Sight, Out of Mind’ project, supported by a Historic England ‘Everyday Heritage’ grant, facilitated numerous arts-based, historical workshops and a large scale, crowd-sourced memorial installation. Written qualita…
Brixton and Belfast
This article considers the activities of a generation of young English Catholics – mostly middle-class convent and grammar school students – who belonged to the international Young Christian Students movement. Through examining two decades of the YCS magazine, alongside its detailed Study Programmes and annual Conferences, it charts the organisation’s increasingly politicised engagement with social justice and decolonisation agendas (especially i…
Us and Them
‘Us and Them’ is a community history project and artistic collaboration exploring physical and intellectual disability and mental illness, in the past and present. It is part of a broader initiative to open out wider conversations about the history of psychiatric care in Epsom (Surrey, UK) and to explore ways in which medical histories, creative engagement strategies and oral history praxis can illuminate the instability of contemporary understan…

The retrospective observational analysis examined routinely collected data from 105 male and 203 female clients who were supported by ForWhen between February 2022 to June 2024. Fathers and mothers did no…
Promoting Disposal of Left-Over Opioids After Surgery in Rural Communities
BACKGROUND: Patients rarely dispose of left-over opioids after surgery. Disposal serves as a primary prevention against misuse, overdose, and diversion. However, current interventions promoting disposal have mixed efficacy. Increasing disposal in rural communities could prevent or reduce the harms caused by prescription opioids. AIMS: Identify barriers and facilitators to disposal in the rural communities of the United States Mountain West region…

I Remember Where the Galaxies Are and You Remember Where the Stocks Are
Theoretical descriptions of transactive memory systems (TMSs) have postulated that intimate couples develop coordinated systems for sharing and distributing cognitive labour. Although such systems have been well-studied in research on organisational teams, little research has examined how TMSs operate in the context of intimate relationships. In the current study, we used semi-structured interviews to ask 39 older long-married couples to describe…
Lived Catholicism
The study of Lived Catholicism seeks to step away from the normative forces of institutional expectations to explore Catholicism as it is found in the practices of daily life. It draws on the foundations of lived religion in recognising the importance of improvisation, negotiation, resistance and subversion in everyday religiosity. It foregrounds the voices and experiences of ordinary people to explore the places of Catholicism in their lives. Ho…

Compared to affluent consumers, the consumption practices of poor and low-income consumers have received less attention in the global North, where they have been marginalized as flawed.This paper hopes to address this neglect by providing an exploratory profile of poor and low-income consumers in the United States.It will challenge that these consumers are flawed by explaining how they participate in consumer society via exploitative inclusion an…
Reframing the ‘laws of life’
Dr Halliday Sutherland and Dr Letitia Fairfield are not immediately-recognisable names today, but in mid-twentieth century Britain both these Catholics doctors attained high public profiles as doughty defenders of the Church’s opposition to birth control. Responding to the advent of new contraceptive technologies and modernity’s aspiration to control nature and celebrate married love, these influential medical professionals were representative of…
They're playing our song
Music has been argued to contribute to well-being in multiple ways, through its links to identity, social relationships, emotion, and memory. We investigated the phenomenon of "couple-defining songs (CDSs)," in which members of a couple come to jointly identify their relationship with a particular song. Two hundred participants who were currently in a romantic relationship, diverse in age and relationship length and status, reported whether they …
A Magna Carta for Marriage
When Humanae Vitae (the Vatican’s encyclical banning the contraceptive pill) was released in July 1968, it was the culmination of years of intense speculation and well-founded anticipation of a change in papal teaching on birth control. This article explores the gendered ambiguities embedded within this watershed document and its role as a touchstone for, paradoxically, both progressive and conservative interrogations of Catholic masculinities. I…
Corporeal Commotions
This article provides the first scholarly exploration of the hagiographical representations and modern mysticism of St Faustina — a Polish nun who from 1931 had a series of visions of Christ who instructed her to have a devotional image painted and to institute a series of rosary‐based prayers. It examines the visual, material, and corporeal practices associated with the transnational cult to the Merciful Heart of Jesus and excavates the ways in …

Politics as a Vocation
Drawing upon extensive oral history interviews and long scale participant observation in two London churches, an ethnically diverse Catholic parish in Canning Town and a predominantly West-African Pentecostal congregation in Peckham, this article compares and contrasts differing Christian expressions and understandings of ‘civic engagement’ and gendered articulations of lay social ‘ministry’ through prayer, religious praxis and local politics. Th…

Lourdes and holistic spirituality
This article explores historical and sociological shifts in understandings of healing at the popular Marian pilgrimage site of Lourdes. Using extensive survey and fieldwork data, it moves away from existing pilgrimage studies which concentrate on the sick, contested medico-miraculous narratives and cures, to approach this space as a site for the exploration and negotiation of embodied, communal and holistic aspirations. It contends that modern pi…
National Religion and the Prayer Book Controversy, 1927-1928. (Studies in Modern British Religious History, number 21.) By John G. Maiden.
John Maiden's exhaustively researched study of the debates surrounding the proposed Book of Common Prayer reforms in 1927 and 1928 opens with an evocative epigraph from the Manchester Guardian: ‘The Protestant watchdog has barked, and has proved to be a bigger dog than was perhaps expected in these Laodicean days.’ This well-written and timely monograph makes good on this tacit promise to provide context and explanation for why these seemingly ab…
Synchronising radiocarbon dating and the Egyptian historical chronology by improved sample selection
Egypt has some of the oldest written records and extended lists of named rulers. But radiocarbon dates have only fulfilled expectations 66 per cent of the time. So why haven&t the two types of dating made a better match? The authors provide a dozen excellent reasons, which will sound the alarm among researchers well beyond Dynastic Egypt

Disturbing the Complacency of Religion'? The Evangelical Crusades of Dr Billy Graham and Father Patrick Peyton in Britain, 1951-54
This article explores some little-examined aspects of the widespread revival of religion in Britain in the 1950s through a close examination of the evangelistic crusades of the Baptist minister Dr Billy Graham and the Irish-American Roman Catholic priest, Fr Patrick Peyton. Against the backdrop of the ‘secularization debate’, which continues to dominate the existing historiography of the period, it suggests that a re-examination of the role of re…

Gorse in the East Riding of Yorkshire
In East Yorkshire, as in many other parts of the British Isles, the common gorse (Ulex europaeus), also known as whin or furze, at one time played an important role in the local economy. Although its recorded uses fall short of the ‘astonishing number’ described by Lucas in Ireland some 30 years ago, they are none the less sufficiently numerous and varied to invite comment. Furthermore, as Eva Crackles has pointed out recently, the exploitation o…
Attitudes about Death, Dying, and Terminal Care
Attitudes of eight hospital groups on several aspects of terminal care were studied by means of a questionnaire responded to by 1080 people at a university teaching hospital. The questionnaire contained statements about terminally ill patients, settings for their care, terminally ill children, discussing death and terminal care, and meeting the emotional needs of patients. Responses of the groups, which included physicians, residents, nurses, aid…

Direct Stomach Feeding in the Pigeon
Four pigeons were trained to peck a key for reinforcement. Two were prepared for stomach-fistula feeding and two were sham-operated. The fistulated birds were reinforced with 7 drops of 5% dextrose solution per minute, and the sham-operated birds did not receive any reinforcement. All the birds extinguished rather rapidly. There did not seem to be any difference between the stomach-injection reinforced birds and the nonreinforced birds. This was …
