The ritualisation of the surgical safety checklist and its decoupling from patient safety goals
Patient harm, patient safety and their governance have been ongoing concerns for policymakers, care providers and the public. In response to high rates of adverse events/medical errors, the World Health Organisation (WHO) advocated the use of surgical safety checklists (SSC) to improve safety in surgical care. Canadian health authorities subsequently made SSC use a mandatory organisational practice, with public reporting of safety indicators for …
Gender in the Flesh: Allostatic Load as the Embodiment of Stressful, Gendered Work in Canadian Police Communicators
Gender and work are important social determinants of health, yet studies of health inequities related to the gendered and emotional intricacies of work are rare. Occupations high in emotional labour - a known job stressor - are associated with ill-health and typically dominated by women. Little is known about the mechanisms linking health with these emotional components of work. Using physiological and questionnaire data from Canadian police comm…
The applicability of generalisability and bias to health professions education's research
The Distinctions Between Theory, Theoretical Framework, and Conceptual Framework
Health professions education (HPE) researchers are regularly asked to articulate their use of theory, theoretical frameworks, and conceptual frameworks in their research. However, all too often, these words are used interchangeably or without a clear understanding of the differences between these concepts. Further problematizing this situation is the fact that theory , theoretical framework , and conceptual framework are terms that are used in di…
Being Edgy in Health Professions Education: Concluding the Philosophy of Science Series
The philosophy of science is concerned with what science is, its conceptual framing and underlying logic, and its ability to generate meaningful and useful knowledge. To that end, concepts such as ontology (what exists and in what way), epistemology (the knowledge we use or generate), and axiology (the value of things) are important if somewhat neglected topics in health professions education scholarship. In an attempt to address this gap, Academ…
Ethnography in health professions education: Slowing down and thinking deeply
Embodied Spatial Practices and the Power to Care
Drawing on an ethnographic study of teamwork in critical care units (CCUs), this chapter applies Henri Lefebvre’s ([1974] 1991) theoretical insights to an analysis of clinicians’ and patients’ embodied spatial practices. Lefebvre’s triadic framework of conceived, lived, and perceived spaces draws attention to the role of bodies in the production and negotiation of power relations among nurses, physicians, and patients within the CCU. Three ethnog…

Sociology Is a Martial Art
Loïc Wacquant's article ' Homines in Extremis' outlines five propositions about habitus that support a broader and richer use of Bourdieu's famous concept. His article was a response to a new edited volume by Sanchez and Spencer under the title Fighting Scholars. In this article, I support Wacquant's argument, but suggest that he undersells habitus as a topic of and tool for inquiry. I point to previous conversations about habitus and suggest tha…
Boxers, Briefs or Bras? Bodies, Gender and Change in the Boxing Gym
In this ethnography of Full Contact, a San Francisco Bay Area boxing gym, I use Bourdieu's theory of practice to illustrate how 'rules of the game' shape people's perceptions, interactions and positions ( capital). First, I show how the unwritten, unspoken rules of boxing as a field (its doxa) impact readings of bodies and bodily capital, readings that then have an impact on micro-level interactions and hierarchies at Full Contact. Second, I show…
Bodies, Boxes, and Belonging: A Review of Queer Online
This article reviews Queer Online: Media, Technology and Sexuality, edited by Kate O'Riordan and David J. Phillips (2007) O’Riordan, K. and Phillips, D. J. 2007. Queer online: Media, technology & sexuality, Vol. 40, New York: Peter Lang Publishers. [Google Scholar]. Although essays in Queer Online are welcome contributions to cyberqueer studies inasmuch as they underscore critical themes in cyberqueer lives, they sometimes lack the much-needed em…
