Navigating health and social care systems
There is increasing impetus to help individuals navigate health and social care systems. Though the development and effectiveness of navigator roles have long been explored in health and sociological research, evaluations of navigation are typically narrow in focus and oriented to individual outcomes, quantitative metrics, or barriers and enablers in implementation. Investigating the structural effects of navigation, especially across disparate c…
From 'living death' to 'becoming-with
This essay provides a critical overview of historical and contemporary conceptualisations of selfhood in dementia. We explore the intersections of psychological and sociological research, as well as care practices, in dementia scholarship and how these have evolved in the years leading to and proceeding the start of the twenty-first century. Focusing on historical discourses of dementia and the metaphor of dementia as a 'living death', this essay…
Object-oriented interviews in qualitative longitudinal research
This paper reflects on the use of objects in qualitative interview methods. We consider the use of objects in 'single' research events and in longitudinal designs. This leads us to consider how using objects in interviews situates in relation to time. Emphasizing the materiality of objects as well as how objects help to materialize events, experiences, and accounts, we explore what objects do and how we can practically work with objects, especial…

Situating 'best practice'
The relationship between ‘best practice’ as a set of evidence-informed principles and its actualization in situations of care has been the subject of significant critique across clinical and sociological health research. Precisely how ‘best practice’ gets done—in practice—is often not investigated in itself. Drawing from qualitative interviews with thirty-three healthcare workers involved in the care, management, and research of Covid-19 in a hos…
‘Getting the vaccine makes me a champion of it’
OBJECTIVES: Peer-to-peer communication approaches have been previously described as the 'power of personal referral'. Rather than relying on official channels of information, peer-to-peer communication may have a role in supporting changes in understanding and possibly behaviours. However, in emergency or pandemic situations, there is currently limited understanding of whether community members feel comfortable speaking about their vaccine experi…
The fluid hospital
This paper explores the boundary-making practices enacted by the hospital. Taking a hospital in Sydney, Australia, as our case, we investigate how the hospital holds together as a care environment through the coordinating movements of many materials, spaces, bodies, technologies, and affects. Drawing on interviews with hospital healthcare workers involved in care, research, and management related to COVID-19, we examine the multiplying effects of…
A matter of time
This article investigates how evidence of the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines is enacted in news media via a focus on the temporality of vaccine development. We argue that time constitutes a crucial object of and mechanism for knowledge production in such media and investigate how time comes to matter in vaccine evidence-making communication practices. In science communication on vaccine development, the vaccine object (along with the pr…
