Reimagining Reproductive Health Care for Refugee Women: Integrating Cultural Health Navigators into a Clinical Model
Background: Refugee women face barriers to reproductive health care, including limited English proficiency, transportation challenges, inconsistent insurance coverage, socioeconomic instability, and prevalence of trauma-related mental health conditions. This study describes the characteristics, diagnoses, and health care utilization of refugee women receiving care at the Refugee Women’s Health Clinic (RWHC) of Valleywise Health (VH), a safety net…
Facing the cliff-edge: Care-experienced graduates’ access to and progression through taught postgraduate study in the United Kingdom
Over the past 15 years, a growing body of research into the issues care-experienced people face when accessing higher education (HE) has led to welcome support developments to attempt to redress inequalities. However, such support ceases upon completion of undergraduate degrees. Without continued support, constraints in accessing taught postgraduate study can lead to limitations in future careers, earning potential, and future stability for care-…

Theorising educational engagement, transitions and outcomes for care‐experienced people: Introduction to the special issue
Theorising educational engagement, transitions and outcomes
Kropotkin and Revolution
Anarchists, and Kropotkin in particular, are often depicted as optimists who lack a realistic view of how to achieve fundamental social change. This article counters this narrative by reconstructing Kropotkin's views on revolution and the arguments he used to justify it. In particular, I demonstrate that Kropotkin developed complex theories about how revolutions arise, what form a revolution must take in order to succeed, and how anarchists shoul…
Climate, Science and Society: A Primer
Climate, Science and Society: A Primer makes cutting-edge research on climate change accessible to student readers. \n \nThe primer consists of 37 short chapters organized within 11 parts written by Science and Technology Studies (STS) and other social science scholars. It covers a range of key topics including communication, justice and inequality, climate policy, and energy transitions, situating each one within the context of STS studies. Each…
Young people engaging in event-based diaries: A reflection on the value of diary methods in higher education decision-making research
This paper reflects on the value of diary methods in the context of a qualitative, longitudinal narrative inquiry exploring the higher education decision-making of further education students in England. Event-based diaries were used alongside interviews and focus groups over a 14-month period to gain in-depth insights into the reasons and influences informing their decision-making trajectories. I explore the challenges, successful approaches and …
Patterns of postgraduate transitions amongst care-experienced graduates in the United Kingdom
Those who have spent time in state care as children, and are therefore ‘care-experienced’, are known to have lower life chances than the general population. While we know that care-experienced young people are significantly underrepresented in Higher Education nationally and internationally, little is known about their progression to postgraduate level study. Using data from the national Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey…
Employment and further study outcomes for care-experienced graduates in the UK
Life outcomes for people who spent time in the care of the state as children (‘care-experienced’) are known to be significantly lower, on average, than for the general population. The reasons for this are complex and multidimensional, relating to social upheaval, disrupted schooling, mental and physical health issues and societal stigmatisation. Previous studies across several countries have demonstrated that they are significantly less likely to…
Loving it to death: Land use conflict, outdoor recreation and the contradictions of wilderness in Southeast Utah, USA
Different cultural valuations of landscapes often underlie land use conflict. How do place-based experiences inform cultural values regarding landscapes? Further, how do such values shape conflicts over land use and land management? This paper draws from ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with recreational land users (primarily rock climbers), land managers, ranchers, and others in the Indian Creek area of Bears Ears National Monument in South…
Policy Dialogue: Teaching Environmentalism on a Warming Planet
As the world reckons with the existential threat posed by climate change, the US remains deeply divided about the need for action. The solution to this problem, many have argued, begins with teaching environmentalism in primary and secondary schools and fostering receptivity to environmental issues and environmental science among the next generation. This strategy, of course, comes with its own set of challenges. Where does climate change fit in …
Anticipatory Culture in the Bering Sea: Weather, Climate and Temporal Dissonance
A major implication of climate change is the declining capacity for communities to anticipate future conditions and scenarios. In the Bering Sea region of Western Alaska, this situation is acute and holds manifold consequences, particularly for the region’s primarily Indigenous residents. Based upon interviews and fieldwork in two Bering Sea communities and among regional weather forecasters, this paper explores the intertwined temporalities of w…
The Effect of Partnership Presence and Support on HIV Viral Suppression Among Serodiscordant Partnered and Single Heterosexual HIV-Positive Individuals in Brazil
Agricultural capitalism, climatology and the "stabilization" of climate in the United States, 1850-1920
Drawing from theory on the "co-production" of science and society, this paper provides an account of trajectories in US climatology, roughly from the 1850s to 1920, the period during which climatology emerged as an organized branch of meteorology and government administration. The historical narrative traces the development of climatology both as a professional/institutional project and as a component of a larger governmental logic. Historical an…
The social structure of climate change research and practitioner engagement: Evidence from California
The Gospel of Climate Skepticism: Why Evangelical Christians Oppose Action on Climate Change
Priced out: The renegotiation of aspirations and individualized HE ‘choices’ in England
Official policy texts in England have long assumed that students make their Higher Education choices in an individualized, rational and context-free manner. Under the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition government (2010–2015), a greater emphasis was placed on accomplishing higher levels of widening participation in elite institutions. Those who do not progress to such institutions, or to HE at all, are presented as having ‘low aspirations’. U…
Reflexivity, structure and agency: Using reflexivity to understand Further Education students’ Higher Education decision-making and choices
The purpose of this paper is to critically evaluate Archer’s reflexive modalities in relation to Further Education (FE) students’ higher education (HE) decision-making and choices. To do this, it draws on data from a qualitative, longitudinal narrative inquiry that explored how socioeconomically under-represented FE students made their HE decisions and choices. On a conceptual level, the research aimed to identify whether participants’ HE decisio…
Climate information? Embedding climate futures within temporalities of California water management
This article uses the case of drinking water utility managers in California to understand uses of climate-change information in resource management. A dominant narrative suggests that producing management practices best adapted to climate-change impacts is a matter of reconciling the supply of scientific knowledge with the demand signals of resource managers. We question this narrative with reference to the diverse cultural and socio-technical st…
Meteorological Frontiers: Climate Knowledge, the West, and US Statecraft, 1800–50
This article advances an analytic framework for studying climate knowledge, arguing that the dynamics of how scientists construct the category of climate articulate with practices of government by a process I theorize as “meteorological government.” Using diverse primary print sources, analysis in the present article employs this theorization to reconstruct elements of US statecraft in the period from 1800 to 1850 by tracing the governmental sign…
Predictors of Over-Reporting HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Adherence Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men (YMSM) in Self-Reported Versus Biomarker Data
Climate state: Science-state struggles and the formation of climate science in the US from the 1930s to 1960s
This article has two aims: first, to understand the co-production of climate science and the state, and second, to provide a test case for Pierre Bourdieu's field theory. To these ends, the article reconstructs the historical formation of a US climate science field, with an analytic focus on inter-field dynamics and heterogeneous networking practices. Drawing from primary- and secondary-source materials, the historical analysis focuses on relatio…
