What Is the Role of Imagined Futures in the Development of E-Cigarette Use among Young People
Public health 'gateway' narratives concerning young people's e-cigarette use warn against a future generation beset by escalating addiction and a possible epidemic of tobacco- and vaping-related illnesses. We argue that such imaginaries of vaping futures are in fact based in smoking pasts, which, while likely not 'real' in the sense of predicting the development of youth vaping, have real consequences through influencing the conditions of young p…
Benefits and challenges of engaging Majority World children in interdisciplinary, multi-qualitative-method, mental health research
The qualitative community embraces transparent dialogue through sharing knowledge to improve rigour and develop new initiatives. In this paper, we recognise there are many complexities within qualitative research, leading to important debates. We explore the benefits and challenges, as well as the practicalities and technicalities, of conducting research that 1) employs multiple methods within the qualitative paradigm, 2) is interdisciplinary, an…

We fully accept that the chief danger of presenting the ‘Radical Critique’ as a singular position is that this has the effect of diminishing significant differences between those variously associated with that position. Central here is the degree to which advocates of the…
Beyond performative talk: Critical observations on the radical critique of reading interview data
We centrally consider the question of what interview data can be used to ‘say’ through a dialogue with advocates of the ‘radical critique’ of interview studies. We propose that while the critique has considerable utility in drawing to ‘the social life of interviews’ and the pervasiveness of notions of the ‘romantic subject’, it simultaneously goes too far in its reduction of interviews to narrative performance, and not far enough in its own criti…
