What is the transformative potential of education within communities that have survived modern slavery? Analysing the post-emancipation experiences of the Kamaiyas in far-western Nepal
The Kamaiya system of bonded labour was one of the oldest systems of slavery in the world until it was abolished by the Nepalese state in July 2000. This paper analyses the extent to which engaging in different forms of education before and after emancipation can be routes to resist oppression. Findings are organised around three research areas; education as resistance; emerging masculinities through educational investment; and the increase in fo…
The health and wellbeing of incarcerated trans, gender diverse, and non-binary people
When Women Talk
This study explores radio as a creative art form supporting participatory rights for incarcerated women in Scotland. Findings reveal three themes: Agency and Influence, Identity and New Narratives, and Finding a Community. Participants gained confidence, strengthened their identities, and influenced their environment. The research highlights how the arts humanize incarcerated people, challenge institutional norms, and foster active citizenship. T…
Performances of emergent masculinities amongst rickshaw drivers in Nepal
This paper uniquely analyzes the impacts of automation on rickshaw drivers in far west Nepal. • It uses theories of masculinity to analyze experiences of being a rickshaw puller and driver. • The paper explores the impacts of automation for the gendered assumptions and expectations of rickshaw driving. • Automation has meant that women are entering this occupation for the first time. This paper provides insights into emergent masculinities amongs…
Power to the Convicted Class’
This article examines prisoner-led movements that have sought the right to representation and improvements in pay and conditions. We argue that this strand of prison organizing has tended to be subsumed into narratives around prison disturbances, studies of movements for prisoners’ rights and campaigns for penal reform. The article considers the extent to which prisoner-led organizations have adapted to their unique set of circumstances by examin…
Prison Officers
This edited book offers a diverse, state-of-the-field, global volume on the work of prison/correctional officers.
Embodied masculinities and bodywork within two British prison gyms
Prison masculinities are evolving in a plurality of ways that have profound implications for embodied masculinities within prison. However, previous literature has tended to overlook the importance of prison gyms as cites of particular kinds of bodywork within prison, something this paper seeks to address. Using interview data collected from two high-security men's prisons in Britain, this paper examines accounts of the sorts of bodies that priso…
Incarcerated Young Men, Masculinity, and Trauma
The current article is part of a unique comparative study of the experiences and adjustment of 190 incarcerated young men in both Scotland and Canada. In collecting data on the participants' lives, the authors learned of the multiple traumas and losses many of them had suffered. Many participants however seemed to adhere to a prison masculinity that may constrain help-seeking behavior. Ultimately, this article analyses the levels of trauma that e…
The transgender pains of imprisonment
Sykes (1958) famously outlined five deprivations constituting the ‘pains of imprisonment’, later developed in a range of research, including research considering the gendered pains of imprisonment. Despite an increase in the visibility of transgender people in society and within prison settings, the specific pains of imprisonment experienced by transgender people have been largely overlooked. Within this context, this article analyses interviews …

She Was Just Like A Lassie’
The subject of transgender rights has recently come under increasing scrutiny in many parts of the world. Despite this, there has been no research that analyses this issue from the perspective of cis-women living alongside transwomen in prison settings. This paper addresses this omission by analysing the views of fifteen cis-women in prison in Scotland, living on halls of four prisons that also housed transgender women. Findings are analysed acro…
Covid-19 has caused a dramatic change to prison life’. Analysing the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the pains of imprisonment in the Scottish Prison Estate
The purpose of this paper is to provide insights into the impact of COVID-19 in the Scottish Prison Estate. During the 2020 lockdown in prison in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, all face-to-face research was paused. In response to this methodological challenge, a participatory correspondence methodology was designed, enabling project participants to influence the direction of this project through suggesting research questions. The main project…
Traditional healers in an age of the pharmacy and Covid-19
The guruwa have been a central part of Dangaura Tharu communities for many years, with various edicts referring to the role as far back as 1807. Within the existing literature, their role was conventionally defined as faith healers/shamans/Tharu cultural leaders. However, with the increasing influence of 'western' medicine as embodied by the exponential growth of pharmacies across Nepal, the role of the guruwa in Dangaura Tharu communities has ev…
Issues and Innovations in Prison Health Research
I Do Not Appear to Have had Previous Letters’. The Potential and Pitfalls of Using a Qualitative Correspondence Method to Facilitate Insights Into Life in Prison During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown represents a significant challenge for qualitative researchers due to social distancing measures restricting face-to-face data collection. At the time of ethical approval (early April 2020), all face-to-face research projects facilitated by the Scottish Prison Service and most prison jurisdictions were paused. In response to these methodological challenges, a participatory action correspondence methodology was d…
‘We are “free range” prison officers’, the experiences of Scottish Prison Service throughcare support officers working in custody and the community
Between 2015 and 2019, 41 throughcare support officers (TSOs) supported people serving short sentences leaving custody across 11 Scottish Prison Service establishments. The role of prison officers in the provision of throughcare in the community was an innovation in Scotland and represents a new approach to the long-standing challenges around supporting reintegration from custody. Drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with 20 TSOs, this…
What are the Implications of Changing Place for the Professional Performativity of Prison Officers
Throughcare Support Officers (TSOs) were a unique role in the Scottish criminal justice system when they operated between 2015 and 2019. This research challenges and extends existing prison scholarship by asking a number of novel questions: to what extent do prisons as places shape prison officer identities and what happens to prison officer identities when you largely remove the prison itself. TSOs were prison officers who worked with newly rele…
Looking tājā ‘fresh’; skin whitening, and emergent masculinities in far-west Nepal
Throughout the Indian subcontinent there is a broad range of skin-whitening products (SWPs) widely advertised on TV, cinema on the streets etc ... . In recent years, the multinational companies who produce these products have begun to focus on an untapped market – men and boys. Complementing feminist insights relating to the ways in which ‘body work’ is a form of control over women and constitutes a means of maintaining gender hierarchies, this p…
Masculinities, Remittances and Failure
Migration from Nepal to India, a major issue in contemporary Nepal, has a wide range of consequences, including significant implications for the performance of masculinity. Remittances, and the associated pressures to send or bring money home, form a central part of the gendering of such migration, but many men are unable to remit to the levels expected of them. Consequently, this overshadows the cost/benefit analysis of migration for many famili…
Public challenge and endorsement of sex category ambiguity in online debate
Despite academic feminist debate over several decades, the binary nature of sex as a (perhapsthe) primary social classification is often taken for granted, as is the assumption that individuals can be unproblematically assigned a biological sex at birth. This article presents analysis of online debate on theBBCnews website in November 2013, comprising 864 readers' responses to an article entitled 'Germany allows 'indeterminate' gender at birth'. …
Hegemonic at home and subaltern abroad
As former bonded labourers (or slaves), the Kamaiya of far-west Nepal have a history of marginalization, poverty and limited mobility due to the constraints inherent in the Kamaiya system of bonded labour (banned in 2000). Based on ethnographic research in the post-slavery era, this article examines how mobility is becoming an important part of Kamaiya masculinities. I consider in particular an account of migration acquired over a series of inter…
