Socioeconomic disparities in access to intensive insulin regimens for adults with type 1 diabetes: A qualitative study of patient and healthcare professional perspectives
Access to intensive insulin regimens was hindered for people in lower socioeconomic groups by a complex mix of factors relating to the permeability of specialist services, ability to navigate the healthcare system and patient interactions with healthcare providers. Improving access to diabetes specialist nurses and structured diabetes education for vulnerable patients could lessen socioeconomic disparities in both access to services and health ou…
Performing Emotions in Early Europe
The ‘Triumph of Death’ is an iconographical theme to be found in many Books of Hours in the ‘Three Living and Three Dead’ imagery which dates from the thirteenth century. I have selected the Brueghel painting for discussion because, when I stood before it in the Prado museum, I was overwhelmed not only by the power of its imagery, but by its affinity with the apocalyptic imagery of Piers Plowman, and the ‘dread’ this evokes. The ‘love’ of my titl…
Mortality differentials 1991−2005 by self-reported ethnicity: Findings from the ONS Longitudinal Study
BACKGROUND: Research on ethnic differentials in mortality in England and Wales has focused on immigrants because, until now, studies collecting data on ethnicity have not covered sufficient deaths to investigate the subject. International migrants are selected for good health and tend to have low mortality. METHODS: We investigated all-cause mortality at ages 1-79 in 1991-2005 by self-reported ethnicity and country of birth. The data are from the…
Care, empowerment and self-determination in the practice of peer support
The concept of ‘care’ has been fraught with negative connotations within the disability movement; the concepts of empowerment, choice and control have been developed as alternatives. The peer-support movement in the mental health sector draws from this tradition, and is uncomfortable with the provision of care. Drawing on the feminist ethic of care, we will argue in this paper that ‘care’ – in the sense of caring about, rather than caring for – s…

Authenticity Work: Mutuality and Boundaries in Peer Support
Peer support is a relatively new form of funded mental health service provision, in which services are provided by current or former service users. It operates from recovery philosophies, aiming for deep, transformative relationships. This article asks how such “love labour” can be sustained through processes of paid work. It argues that authenticity is central to achieving this, created by a type of emotion work that focuses on clearing obstacle…
Having those conversations: The politics of risk in peer support practice
Peer support is a fast growing type of service provision within the mental health sector. This study draws on interviews with peer supporters and peer support managers to explore the ways that risks of violence, suicide and self-harm are managed within peer support settings in Aotearoa New Zealand. Drawing on Nikolas Rose and other theorists, who define risk thinking as an attempt to ‘discipline uncertainty’, we argue that the philosophy of peer …
Nature and Function of Water, Baths, Bathing and Hygiene from Antiquity Through the Renaissance
The Nature and Function of Water, Baths, Bathing and Hygiene from Antiquity through the Renaissance
These essays offer scholars, teachers, and students a new basis for discussing attitudes toward, and technological expertise concerning, water in antiquity through the early Modern period, and they examine historical water use and ideology both diachronically and cross regionally. Topics include gender roles and water usage; attitudes, practices, and innovations in baths and bathing; water and the formation of identity and policy; ancient and med…
Eliciting situated knowledges about new technologies
This paper explores the use of “situated knowledges” as a means of grounding debates about “scientific citizenship” within practical research interventions. We describe the development of a focus group methodology that uses opportunities for storytelling to elicit the situated knowledges of research participants regarding human genetic testing. The application of this methodology is illustrated by attention to the potential construction of what I…

Redefining a technology: Public and private genetic testing in Aotearoa New Zealand
In the last ten years there has been a rapid expansion in the number of genetic tests and increased interest in accessing the information available through these tests. The expansion of access to genetic testing occurs against the background of mixed systems for delivering health services, including DNA testing. This paper draws on theory relating to the social shaping of technologies and the concept of technological 'scripts' to offer a critical…
Circulating beliefs, resilient metaphors and faith in biomedicine: Hepatitis C patients and interferon combination therapy
In this paper, we argue that circulating metaphors and beliefs can create an environment in which particular biomedical treatments make cultural sense, even if they seem to be ineffective or are associated with unpleasant side effects. We develop this argument in relation to interferon combined therapy. An innovative methodology combining the collection and deconstructive analysis of visual and narrative texts produced by people with hepatitis C …

Like editing bits of ourselves’: Geneticisation and human fate
Disquiet relating to the potential for knowing one's 'fate' emerged strongly in sixteen focus groups relating to genetic testing held in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This paper draws on the concept of 'life itself', rephrased here as 'capitalised genomics', to understand this reaction. A tension relating to the discourse of geneticisation, in which 'the gene' is held to carry essential identity, links to ancestors and people, and yet also to create fixe…
Ethics in practice: Conversations about biobanks
This paper uses the concept of ‘ethicality’ to analyse focus-group conversations in New Zealand on biobanking and genetic testing. ‘Ethicality’ has been used by Arohia Durie, a Māori educationist, to highlight how ethical talk and practice is historically and socially positioned, situated within specific life-worlds, embedded within always partial communities, and articulated within individual life narratives. This situated ethicality is identifi…
Visible incarnations of the unseen’: Henry Drummond and the practice of typological exegesis
Although Henry Drummond's Natural Law in the Spiritual World (1883) is frequently cited by historians in relation to the impact of evolutionary theories on the Victorian churches, attention has not been paid to the audiences of working-class men in Glasgow for whom the papers were originally constructed. By drawing upon the notebook in which the author sketched out the series of addresses, in addition to materials relating to the interpretative h…

Fear and Its Representations in the Middle Ages and Renaissance (Arizona Studies in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Volume 6)
"This is a volume of essays on fear and its representations in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. In it, the authors raise and try to answer questions about the ways in which individuals, families, and nations five-hundred, one-thousand, or even fifteen-hundred years ago approached the idea of fear." "Through its breadth, depth, and interdisciplinary focus, the present volume makes a full contribution to the study of fear in medieval and Renaissanc…

How important is parenthood? Childlessness and support in old age in England
Familial relationships are popularly and sociologically viewed as crucial to the social support of elderly people, and of these the relationships between adult children and their parents are generally regarded as the most important (Finch and Mason 1993). But could these expectations be part of a cultural myth? In actuality, does the distinction between parenthood and childlessness make much difference to social support in old age? The present pa…

Homoeopathy as a Feminist Form of Medicine
In this paper I begin by discussing the reinforcement offered to ontological dualism by biomedicine. It then describes some parallels between the development of feminist health activism and that of professional, non-medically qualified homoeopathy, going on to ask whether alternative medicine can offer a 'political' challenge to ontological dualism. Three aspects of the feminist critique of biomedicine are discussed in relation to contemporary, f…

Dementia, disability and contact with formal services: A comparison of dementia sufferers and non-sufferers in rural and urban settings
This paper is based on data from studies conducted in the City of Liverpool and in a rural area of North Wales, relating to people aged 75 years and over living in the community. It compares those identified in these studies as suffering from cognitive brain disorders with other older people identified as being cognitively unimpaired and looks at levels of competence with activities of daily living and the subsequent levels of contact with a rang…

Physical purity feminism and state medicine in late nineteenth-century england
Late nineteenth-century England saw the development of a number of campaigns and social movements which were connected by both a hostility towards the medical profession and by the use of discourses of purity and sanitary reform. This article explores the involvement of women within these movements, analysing their activism as an aspect of social purity feminism. It argues that many of these movements drew on widespread female anxiety regarding m…

Aboriginal Material Culture - Let's Get It Right - Redressing the Folklore
Since the mid 1970s (cf. Mulvaney 1976, p.74) there has been a rapid expansion in the study of Aboriginal material culture which has led to modification of ideas relating to the interpretation of this culture. It is therefore most important that current data sources and interpretations are used by teachers. In response to the comments and opinion of persons not particularly conversant with the field, one is forced to conclude that there are many …

Social Isolation and Loneliness in Old Age: Review and Model Refinement
This paper reviews the empirical literature on social isolation and loneliness and identifies a wide range of published correlates. Using data from a study conducted in North Wales, which included many of the same correlated variables, a statistical modelling technique is used to refine models of isolation and loneliness by controlling for co-variance. The resulting models indicate that the critical factors for isolation are: marital status, netw…
