Reproductive and maternal child health experiences of Indigenous women in prison
Attending to Power
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with a wide range of mental and physical health concerns. Research suggests that many physicians lack knowledge and skills to adequately respond to patients experiencing IPV. In order to better integrate physicians' contributions into intersectoral responses to IPV, we asked stakeholders with expertise and experience related to IPV about the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors they wanted them…
How medical learners and educators decide what counts as mistreatment
A Multilevel Framework for Complex Care
Health systems are poorly equipped to respond to complex health and social needs, which span sectors and diagnoses. This study puts forward a framework for complex care policy. The framework was developed using critical interpretive synthesis, a method for developing theory on the basis of a transparent search and critical analysis of a heterogenous body of the literature. Seventy-three results were included from a systematic search. We suggested…
Key Informants in Applied Qualitative Health Research
Identifying and recruiting key informants is a widely used sampling strategy in applied qualitative health research. Key informants were first conceptualized within ethnography, but there is little methodological guidance about how to use this technique outside of that research tradition. The objective of this article is to offer practical suggestions about how existing methods for data collection with key informants could be translated to method…
Conceptualizing Physicians’ Roles in Addressing Intimate Partner Violence
Resources addressing intimate partner violence (IPV) play a role in shaping how physicians conceptualize and perform their roles in caring for affected patients. This study combines environmental scanning with critical discourse analysis (CDA) to parse how roles of physicians were represented in 28 education materials and policy documents about IPV, taking the Canadian training milieu as an example. We developed a cyclical model of three core phy…
Lived experiences of pregnancy and prison through a reproductive justice lens
Particularising 'experiences'
Prompted by Varpio et al.'s exploration of sex‐related experiences in medical education, Cavanagh et al. intertwine race‐based ideology to offer an intersectional lens on the problem
Why do few medical students report their experiences of mistreatment to administration
Contesting Media History
This paper is concerned with the relationship between theory and history in the development of media history as a subject area, and in particular the way that it has come to conceptualise power. Contesting Media History argues that the history of the communications has become increasingly isolated within its related disciplines, cut off from the rich theoretical insights developed elsewhere and provincialised into the ‘story of the present’. The …
Ladies of the Times
This paper draws on a wider study of letters to the editor of the Times published in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is specifically concerned with the nature of women’s contributions to this, the United Kingdom’s “paper of record”, at a crucial historical period. At this time, rapid transformations of social and cultural power and status were linked to equally rapid transformations of the role and function of the press. Wom…
Having Your Say
This paper describes an analysis of poster and recommender activities in an online news forum. Quantitative analyses of patterns of posting and recommending suggest that claims about ‘horizontality’ and ‘online community’ are oversimplifications, as there is strong evidence to suggest that the actual workings of networked discussion communities incorporate a wide range of competing and mutually-contradictory orientations, activities and strategie…
Barbarous cruelty at the British Museum’
This article considers the usefulness of mediatization theories in historical studies of the media. Using a series of letters published in the UK newspaper The Times between 1885 and 1886 as an example, the article examines the way in which processes of mediatization developed alongside the institutions of social and cultural power by which they were reflexively constituted. On the basis of Hjarvard’s distinction between direct and indirect forms…
Framing the riots
An analysis of commentary on the UK's August 2011 riots reveals shifts in the way the media and politicians now construe concepts of youth, race, criminality and deprivation. By comparing the response to these events with that which followed the riots of 1981, these changes can be clarified and illuminated. This analysis reveals that discussions of 'social problems' exploited by 'infiltrators' (1981) have been replaced by notions of 'pure crimina…
From Culture to Connection
Research into Internet communities and online behaviour constituted one of the earliest and most dynamic fields of interest in the new field of Internet studies. Studies focused a range of issues including understanding how social order was possible in mediated environments, the social and political dimensions of community, the impacts that online communities could have on their offline counterparts. At the same time, studies of Internet communit…
