  • Music in the city: Teaching and learning through the senses

    Open Access•K Lane, Charlotte Welch et al.•ARTICLE•Learning and Teaching•2026

    We live in multisensorial environments where tacit knowledge, from sensory perception and emotion, is key to navigating and making meaning of the world. Yet higher education heavily favours cognitive knowledge as a medium of instruction and learning, based on pedagogical concepts of knowing educator and learning student, leading to a hierarchy of intelligences. Explicitly incorporating sensory knowledge into teaching and learning practice enables…

  • Not-the-Troubles: Disinterring the Marginalised Stories of the Ordinary and the Everyday

    K Lane•ARTICLE•Anthropological Forum•2019•References: 30

    Urban studies of Belfast, Northern Ireland, thoroughly explore the contested or post-conflict city. However, these ‘grand narratives’ do not necessarily accord with people’s day-to-day experiences. Although the ordinary and the everyday are the lifeblood of anthropological inquiry, the mundane in Belfast dwells on the narratorial margin, as academic and political loci predominantly align to the Troubles: to the protagonists, the causes or the pea…

  • The return of the Traditional Birth Attendant

    Open Access•K Lane, Jayne Garrod•ARTICLE•Journal of Global Health•2016

    The World Health Organization has noted much progress towards the realisation of Millennium Development Goals related to maternal and child health. Eighty percent of women in many developing economies now receive at least one visit during pregnancy by a skilled birth attendant (although only 52% had the recommended four visits), and 68% of women across developing regions receive skilled health attendant care (up from 56% in 1990). However, dispar…

  • Pluralist risk cultures: The sociology of childbirth in Vanuatu

    K Lane•ARTICLE•Health Risk & Society•2015

    Western medical approaches to childbirth typically locate risk in women’s bodies, making it axiomatic that ‘good’ maternity care is associated with medically trained attendants. This logic has been extrapolated to developing societies, like Vanuatu, an Island state in the Pacific, struggling to provide good maternity care in line with the World Health Organization’s Millennium Development Goals. These goals include the reduction of maternal morta…

  • Canine Connections: Fieldwork with a Dog as Research Assistant

    Open Access•K Lane•ARTICLE•Anthropology in Action•2015

    My research seeks out muted narratives that struggle to be heard in the contested city of Belfast. My dog is one of my ethnographic methods: dog-walking is rarely a direct journey from A to B and she can 'authenticate' my lingering presence in unfamiliar places; she is a gateway to dog-focused communal activities; and her categorisation of people is based on smell, not politics, religion or country of origin. When encountering random strangers wi…

  • Dreaming the impossible dream: Ordering risks in Australian maternity care policies

    K Lane•ARTICLE•Health Sociology Review•2012•Cited by: 1•References: 28

    Explaining the trajectory of Australian health policies over the last century requires an analysis of different political regimes and their dreams of order for managing risk. Crook reverses the Beckian axiom that risk is the unintended outcome of the failure of industrial societies, arguing for an understanding of risk within a Foucauldian and Actor Network Theory of governmentality. Risk becomes a mechanism for the realisation of different dream…

  • The plasticity of professional boundaries: A case study of collaborative care in maternity services

    K Lane•ARTICLE•Health Sociology Review•2006•Cited by: 3•References: 5

    n\t\t\t\t\tA case study of twenty-nine midwives and nine obstetricians working in a regional, public sector Australian hospital demonstrates the plasticity of professional boundaries within a post-welfare state. Driven by new discourses of globalisation, marketisation, managerialism and consumerism, professional boundaries in health care are being blurred, reordered and reconstituted. Government policies that call for a new interdisciplinarity be…
