The paradox of pornography – sexuality and problematic pornography use
The experiences of sexual minority men who report self-perceived problematic pornography use is under theorised and not well understood despite controversial and conflicting research into the phenomena in heterosexual male populations. This study aimed to widen the conversation to consider the experience of sexuality in relation to self-perceived problematic pornography use, rather than contribute to literature that debates the definition and aet…

Plant blindness and sustainability
Purpose The present paper aims to examine the concept of “plant blindness” in the context of current sustainability debates. “Plant blindness” was the term introduced in 1999 by the botanists and educators James H Wandersee and Elisabeth E Schussler to describe what they saw as a pervasive insensitivity to the green environment and a general neglect of plants on the part of biology education. Design/methodology/approach The fundamental importance…

Remembering Darnel, a Forgotten Plant of Literary, Religious, and Evolutionary Significance
This paper explores the complex interactions between people and the psychotoxic crop contaminant and wheat mimicker darnel (Lolium temulentum). Bringing together knowledge from literary, historical, religious, medical, and scientific sources, we trace the ways in which the plant’s cultural story has been informed by its cultivation (accidental and otherwise) by humans. Darnel is a man-made plant that evolved from a perennial progenitor and was su…
Reading Shakespeare with the grain: Sustainability and the Hunger Business
Although scholars have begun to re-read Shakespeare’s poems and plays in the light of ecocritical theory and methods, the role of food supply in his works, life and career continues to be overlooked. In our essay, we employ the idea of sustainability to conceptualise Shakespeare’s literary career as a continuation of his business practices. We consider both his involvement in the public stage through his investment in a joint stock playing compan…

Remembering the Land in Shakespeare’s Plays
In 1596, Paul Hentzner (1558–1623), a German lawyer, travelled through England as part of his three-year tour of France, Italy and Switzerland. Hentzner’s description of his visit includes important first-hand testimony of the royal palaces, their architecture and treasures, and he is less reticent than English courtiers in giving a frank assessment of the 66-year-old Queen Elizabeth (‘her face oblong, fair, but wrinkled ... her nose a little hoo…

An account-making approach was used over the last eight months of his professional rugby-playing career (termination) and for a further ten months into his next career (transition). For Garth, retirement was premature, contested and unjust—he felt the moral outrage…
