Russian Literature for Children: From Realism to Postmodernism
Traumatic brain injury and VA service use among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Veterans experiencing homelessness
Introduction: United States Veterans experiencing homelessness often have myriad health concerns that can impact their functioning. Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (NHPI) homeless Veterans are up to 82% more likely to have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) diagnosis than non-NHPI homeless Veterans, which can further impact these Veterans' psychosocial functioning. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers services to address the health and …
Affecting the future: A multi-method qualitative text and discourse analysis of emotions in Australian news reporting on climate change and climate anxiety
Eco-anxiety and associated emotions are on the rise. International estimates range from 25-68% prevalence. Australians now regard climate change as their top concern for the future, with some young people reconsidering their intentions to become parents. The emotional sequela from climate change is becoming clearer. How it is conceptualised, responded to, and reinforced within public discourse requires further consideration. This paper presents a…
Valuing emotions and reflecting on group work: A ‘metalogic’ approach to teaching research methods in a university course
Students are often apprehensive about group work and about learning research methods. Challenges such as group work ‘free-riders’, and high anxiety about methods, dominate the literature on teaching within these complex learning domains. Drawing on both reflexive and emotional turns in sociological theory, we explore the potential of a group research project on students' experiences of group work for fostering reflexive learning of skills in grou…

To estimate the odds of having cognitive difficulties among Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) American adults and compare these odds with those of White, Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN), and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander adults nationally and in the 4 states with the largest MENA populations (California, New York, Michigan, and Texas) after adjusting for sociodemographic factors. …
Film Adaptations of Russian Classics: Dialogism and Authorship
The volume examines a representative selection of screen adaptations of Russian literary texts (by Goncharov, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, and Tolstoy), which constitute the hallmark of the Russian cultural brand, infallibly finding favour with audiences in Russia and in the West. The study introduces the notion of a literary-cinematic space – a modern-day cultural phenomenon, characterised by a synergetic (rather than hierarchical) relationshi…

‘What price do you put on your health?’: Medical cannabis, financial toxicity and patient perspectives on medication access in advanced cancer
INTRODUCTION: Following 2016 legislation permitting limited access to cannabis for research and medicinal purposes, the number of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) investigating the effectiveness of medicinal cannabis (MC) on symptom burden relief in cancer contexts has increased in Australia. This study aimed to understand the perceptions, hopes and concerns of people with advanced cancer regarding the future availability and regulation of MC in…
Integrating climate adaptation and transboundary management: Guidelines for designing climate-smart marine protected areas
Climate change poses an urgent threat to biodiversity that demands societal responses. The magnitude of this challenge is reflected in recent international commitments to protect 30% of the planet by 2030 while adapting to climate change. However, because climate change is global, interventions must transcend political boundaries. Here, using the California Bight as a case study, we provide 21 biophysical guidelines for designing climate-smart tr…
Quality of life beyond measure: Advanced cancer patients, wellbeing and medicinal cannabis
Experiences of advanced cancer are assembled and (re)positioned with reference to illness, symptoms and maintaining 'wellbeing'. Medical cannabis is situated at a borderline in this and the broader social domain: between stigmatised and normalised; recreational and pharmaceutical; between perception, experience, discourse and scientific proof of benefit. Yet, in the hyper-medicalised context of randomised clinical trials (RCTs), cancer, wellbeing…
Emotions and lung cancer screening: Prioritising a humanistic approach to care
Low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening has mortality benefits. Yet, uptake has been low. To inform strategies to better deliver and promote screening, in 2018, we interviewed 27 long-term smokers immediately following lung cancer screening in Australia, prior to receiving scan results. Existing lung screening studies employ the Health Belief Model. As smokers, interviewees described feeling stigmatised, with female participants intern…
Reclaiming the Street in Toni Morrison’s Jazz
The call and response protest chants of “Whose streets? Our streets!” that echo throughout city streets in the midst of Black Lives Matter protests and marches illustrate one of many ways in which US streets have been reclaimed and repurposed, particularly against police violence against brown and Black bodies. The street’s capacity to function as a site of converging, colliding, and contradicting perspectives and ideologies also functions as a r…

University students ( N = 53; 18–25 years old) participated in eight same-sex focus group…
