Empowering Parent Carers of Children With Neurodisability in Healthcare Settings
Exploring Parent Carer Empowerment in Childhood Onset Disability
BACKGROUND: Supporting parent carers to have greater agency and control over the decisions and actions regarding the care of their child is a central tenet of contemporary health and social care policy. This study explored contextual factors influencing the empowerment of parent carers of disabled children from the perspective of a range of stakeholders. METHODS: We used focus groups and semi-structured interviews to collect data from 28 particip…

Young, educated and excluded? Regulating student accommodation in England & Wales
Legal geography scholarship has repeatedly shown that normative visions of property are constructed through standards, policies and legislation promoting the single-family home as an ideal type. In turn, this privileging of the family home relies upon other forms of land use being defined as potentially injurious to those who live in single-family homes. One example here is accommodation occupied by students, a population assumed to share housing…
What Are the Important Health and Well‐Being Outcome Dimensions for Parent Carers of Disabled Children? A Qualitative Study
BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, particularly for subjective health states such as well-being. A parent carer is an adult primary caregiver for a child with a disability. Parent carers are at risk of poorer mental and physical health; targeted health promotion interventions are being developed, requiring evaluation. This study aimed to identify the important health and …
Adapting a Participatory Group Programme for Caregivers of Children with Complex Neurodisability from Low-, Middle-Income Countries to a High-Income Setting
The "Baby Ubuntu" programme is a well-established, low-cost, community-based intervention to support caregivers of children with complex neurodisability, like cerebral palsy, in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts. This process-focused paper describes our utilisation of the ADAPT guidance to adapt "Baby Ubuntu" for use in ethnically and linguistically diverse, and economically deprived urban boroughs in the United Kingdom (UK). The pro…
Ensuring equitable access, engagement and ability of socially and ethnically diverse participants to benefit from health promotion programmes
Background: Equity is fundamental to health promotion programmes. However, unintentional or unseen barriers may exist for some underserved groups. We aimed to identify how to ensure equitable access and engagement for diverse parent carers of disabled children to benefit from health promotion programmes. Methods: We purposively sampled parent carers with potentially intersecting characteristics including those who self-identified as from ethnic g…
The Derridean Event
Commentators agree that Derrida's criteria for an event were stringent: it had to be unique, unpredictable and unanticipatable; it must come as a surprise that defies all conceptualization, comprehension, appropriation. Can any historical occurrence pass such rigorous tests and be considered an event? The question now extends to whether Derrida's writings or life should constitute an event. This article traces Derrida's use of the word ‘event’ or…
What aspects of health and wellbeing are most important to parent carers of children with disabilities
INTRODUCTION: Parent carers of children with special educational needs or disabilities are at risk of poorer health and wellbeing outcomes because of the distinct and challenging circumstances they face. Evaluations of interventions promoting the health of parent carers should focus on measuring the aspects of health and wellbeing which are most relevant to this group. As part of a programme of research on parent carer-focused interventions, this…

The Legal Geographies of Contracts
The legal technology of the contract has infiltrated modern society throughout public and private realms of law: from imaginaries and practices of citizenship, to commercial and governmental practicality. Contracts, in one form or another, underpin societal interactions across time and space as they are embedded within, and construct, networks of connections that not only regulate behaviours through immediate rights and obligations, but also refl…
Healthy Parent Carers
BACKGROUND: Parent carers of disabled children are at increased risk of physical and mental health problems. The Healthy Parent Carers (HPC) programme is a manualised peer-led group-based programme that aims to promote parent carer health and wellbeing. Previously, the programme had been delivered in person, with recruitment and delivery managed in a research context. This study explored implementation by two delivery partner organisations in the…
The silkworms of Eugenides and Derrida
Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex (2002) adopts the framing and recurrent figure of the silkworm in a novel narrated by an intersexual, published six years after Derrida’s essay ‘A Silkworm of One’s Own’ (1996). Derrida described the silkworm as an animal for which it is ‘impossible to discern a sex’. For both, the silkworm is a rich metaphor for writing as a process of weaving a cocoon of filaments or lines, from which gender may be derived. Some pla…

A Survey of Telemedicine Use by Doctors in District Hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Practical clinical and technical guidelines and standard operating procedures need to be developed with the active participation of the clinical workforce. These should encourage innovation and greater use of telemedicine, including the use of instant messaging apps
Online community engagement in response to Covid‐19 pandemic
Community participatory research is a method of active engagement between community members to develop interventions that catalyse social change and improve health outcomes.1 Increasingly, particularly in low-middle-income countries (LMICs), participatory research is used to co-develop low-cost community interventions. UK health policy and providers are also placing increasing emphasis on strengthening community services to equitably optimize hea…
Implementation of training to improve communication with disabled children on the ward
BACKGROUND: Parents of disabled children report poorer inpatient experiences when they stay in hospital, and some staff report finding communicating with disabled children challenging. This study tested the feasibility of implementing a training package for staff on paediatric wards to improve communication with disabled children, especially those with communication difficulties, and their families. The package was developed with parent carers an…
With “the Economics-of-Slavery Culture Wars,” It’s Déjà Vu All Over Again
This essay compares recent studies of slavery and capitalism, their critical reception, and the social, cultural, and political context of their appearance in the early 2010s with the appearance and reception of similar studies in the 1970s. The recent histories largely ignored the earlier era, critics rightly pointed out. However, critics overlooked or misunderstood much that was new in the recent studies. In particular, critics trained as econo…
Derrida's Thanatologies
New debate over the definition and significance of death has arisen in both analytic and continental philosophy. Derrida's work is permeated with the topic, which he claimed was the one most resistant to inquiry. Discussions of it by Naas, Miller and Hägglund have been limited by anthropomorphic approaches. This paper analyzes six of Derrida's contributions to thanatology, which for convenience are called ‘figures’: death as inherent in survivre;…
A 'Homeland's' Harvest
What, scholars of South Africa have recently asked, has become of the former ‘homelands’? This article describes the significance of the former Ciskei homeland to a multi-million-dollar supply chain linking rural South African plant harvesters with multinational pharmaceutical companies. The former Ciskei is a primary extraction site for the medicinal plant Pelargonium sidoides, which generates tens of millions of dollars in annual sales as an in…

Royal pharmaceuticals
The translation of international biogenetic resource rights to a former apartheid homeland is fostering business partnerships between South African traditional leaders and multinational pharmaceutical companies. In the case of one contentious resource, these partnerships are entrenching, and in some instances expanding, apartheid-associated boundaries and configurations of power. The state and corporate task of producing communities amenable to b…

The chapel and enclosure on the Brough of Deerness, Orkney
Excavations took place at this site in 1975-6, followed by a survey in 1977, at the invitation of the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments, as clearance of turf and rubble had previously revealed a hoard of post-medieval coins. Further coins were found, which relate to the period after usage of the chapel had ceased: the group is interpreted in votive terms and related to accounts of pilgrimage to the site. The unicameral chapel itself had both a ti…

I. Shakespeare's Politics
In the year 1582 William Camden the antiquary was about to venture into a remote country beyond the mountains, called Lancashire, ‘which’, he wrote, ‘I go unto (God speed me well) after a sort somewhat against my will...but I will proceed, in hope that God's assistance, which hitherto hath been favour-able unto me, will not now fail me'. Such qualms might well assail any professional historian who plans an expedition into Shakespeare country; for…

The Southern White Community in Life and Mind
Historians remain divided as to the essence of antebellum Southern culture. On the one hand, abstractionists claim that to understand the South we must unlock the minds of the people who lived there, and view their world as subjectively as they did. These scholars typically emphasize ethics, ideologies, meanings and "Southern values." On the other hand, substantialists locate the roots of Southern culture in objectively identifiable and measurabl…

Reading Popular Culture in Early America
Since the heyday of an insurgent social history, now over two decades ago, intellectual historians have scrambled to keep the history of ideas relevant to the history of social change. Attesting to their success are the new cultural historians who explore the relationship between mass behavior and popular thought, especially where the two most obviously intersected, in reading, writing, and publishing. Studies by Richard D. Brown, David D. Hall, …
The Agrarian Origins of American Capitalism
Allan Kulikoff's book aims to trace the rural origins and growth of capitalism in America, challenging earlier scholarship and aiming to chart a new course for future studies in history and economics. Kulikoff argues that long before the explosive growth of cities and big factories, capitalism in the countryside changes our society - the ties between men and women, the relations between different social classes, the rhetoric of the yeomanry, slav…
