NGOs Confront HIV/Aids in Tanzania: Local Entrepreneurship Initiatives as Instantiations and Adaptations of Neoliberalism’s Global Discourse
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have endured as an important response to HIV/AIDS. As nations of eastern and southern Africa currently have the highest adult HIV/AIDS prevalence rates, this study focused on NGOs headquartered in Tanzania. Although communication research on HIV/AIDS NGOs has spanned a variety of cultural contexts, theoretical traditions, and samples, research in nations of Africa has yet to situate these NGOs in a relevant g…
The Excluded Voices from Africa’s Sahel: Alternative Meanings of Health in Narratives of Resistance to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in Northern Nigeria
Although previous inquiry into resistance to the polio vaccines in northern Nigeria has been launched from several disciplines, inquiry has been limited to the 2003 revolt and has rarely been informed by theory. This study drew on the culture-centered approach to health communication to argue that the exclusion of marginalized communities from decision-making by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) resulted in a vaccine resistance which…
Taking Culture and Context Seriously: Advancing Health Communication Research on HIV/Aids Prevention in Tanzania with the PEN-3 Cultural Model
Although health communication research on the effects of a radio soap opera on HIV/AIDS prevention in Tanzania was groundbreaking, it was conducted from individualistic and Western perspectives that either ignored Tanzania’s cultural context or implicitly conflated it with barriers to health; furthermore, adult HIV/AIDS prevalence rates in Tanzania and other nations of Africa remain the highest in the world. This study of HIV/AIDS prevention in T…
A Dialectical Perspective on Informed Consent to Treatment: An Examination of Radiologists' Dilemmas and Negotiations
Informed consent to treatment (ICT), designed to honor patient autonomy, has been an important subject of inquiry in many disciplines. To foreground the dynamic and dilemmatic tendencies of ICT practice implied by previous inquiries, I advanced relational dialectics theory into the realm of physicians' experiences with ICT. On performing a dialectical analysis of transcripts from focus group discussions with radiologists, I found them experiencin…
A Structurational Analysis of Informed Consent to Treatment: (Re)productions of Contradictory Sociohistorical Structures in Practitioners' Interpretive Schemes
Informed consent (IC) to treatment honors patient autonomy and bodily integrity. Yet, it is a leading reason for patient litigation, it has not been examined from discursive or theoretical perspectives, and its sociohistorical context is ignored. In a previous analysis of American IC law and the IC literature, structuration theory guided a reconceptualization of IC as unfolding amid contradictory sociohistorical structures or discursive formation…
Identity Implications of Relationship (Re)Definition Goals: An Analysis of Face Threats and Facework as Young Adults Initiate, Intensify, and Disengage From Romantic Relationships
Identity implications theory (IIT) is applied to analyze how young adults manage identity concerns associated with the goals of initiating, intensifying, and disengaging from romantic relationships. Participants wrote their responses to one of six hypothetical romantic (re)definition scenarios, indicated whether they actually would pursue the relational goal if their scenario were real, and rated degree of threat to both parties' face. Responses …
