Territory, values, and health law in a devolved United Kingdom
Devolution since 1998 has seen administrations in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales gain distinct powers over a range of policy fields, with health prominent among them. This poses two pressing questions for socio‐legal scholarship that we address in this article: to what extent are changing territorial arrangements significant for the substance of United Kingdom (UK) health law and the values by which it is oriented, and what role i…
The Connection‐Friction Axis in Devolved Health Policy and Law‐Making in the UK
This article explores the dynamics of devolved health policy and law‐making in the UK, drawing on a case study of opt‐out organ donation reform. Given that health is a significant area of devolved competence, such case studies offer the opportunity to examine both similarities and differences in approach between the four nations in the context of the UK's evolving constitutional settlement. We argue that there is a need to move away from the char…
‘Mtu Ni Afya’
The chapter identifies distinct phases in the relationship between health, development, and the state. At the heart of the account is the state, a key site for doing health and development. Health is an aim, an index, and a means of development. Development is a frame for representing the political and legal stakes of health needs and threats. The first phase moves from imperial health, through late colonial developmentalism and anti-colonial nat…
Teaching about Local Climates, Global Climate, and Climatic Change
The basics of climate must be understood to have a climate literate populace. Understanding climatic change is a wicked problem. This work identifies three foundational content challenges to climate and climate change education, discusses them thoroughly, and offers graphics and conceptual models to address this content in the classroom. The three concepts covered are: 1) conflation between weather and climate, 2) understanding the differences am…
‘In My Own Village’
Traditional medicine in Kenya has been the focus of increasing official attention over the past decade. Legislation has been proposed, and in some cases passed, to regulate the practice of traditional healers, to control the supply of medical materials and to protect the interests of local communities in their medical knowledge. This chapter explores the discourses through which these initiatives have been framed and (partly) achieved. It draws o…
Breathing Fire’
Wildfires are increasing and cause health effects. The immediate and ongoing health impacts of prolonged wildfire smoke exposure in severe asthma are unknown. This longitudinal study examined the experiences and health impacts of prolonged wildfire (bushfire) smoke exposure in adults with severe asthma during the 2019/2020 Australian bushfire period. Participants from Eastern/Southern Australia who had previously enrolled in an asthma registry co…
Covid- 19 and human right to food
The government's COVID-19 restrictive measures exacerbated the already existing vulnerability of the urban poor to food insecurity and violated their human right to food. Future response measures should be executed in ways that respect the human right to food and protect marginalized people from resultant vulnerabilities
A Human-environment Timeline
Concern about accelerating human impact on Earth systems coincides with discussion of adding a new proposed geologic epoch that would document the Age of Humans. This research contributes a human-environment timeline prototype. Time-period classification provides academics and citizens alike with a common temporal reference frame for discussion and further investigation. A hierarchical human-environment timeline was built from analysis of entries…
Geographic Thought and the Anthropocene
Drawing from early modern and contemporary geographic thought, this article explores how the premise of an Anthropocene (Age of Humans) can be used to reinforce enduring modes of human–environment thinking. Anthropocene dialogues build on insights posed by geographers of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries: unity of nature, humans as nature made conscious, humans as nature’s conscience, and time periods as devices for thinking about hum…
Evaluating a No Hit Zone program and provider interventions at an urban academic pediatric practice
Weareone
This article examines responses to the terrorist attack on the Westgate Shopping Centre in Nairobi in September 2013 in order to investigate the role played by blood donation, as an expression of national dreams, in the political imaginary of contemporary Kenya. It considers the symbolic effectiveness of calls for blood donation made by political figures in the aftermath of the attacks. Such calls drew on a tradition of donation drives begun in t…
Africa Needs Many Lawyers Trained for the Need of their Peoples’
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the setting up of university law schools in many African nations led to often bitter battles over the purpose of legal education. The stakes in these struggles were high. Deliberately neglected under colonial rule, legal education was an important focus for the leaders of new states, including Kwame Nkrumah, first President of Ghana. It was also a significant focus for expatriate British scholars and American fo…
Law and Rhetoric
What contribution can rhetoric make to socio-legal studies? Though now a byword for deception and spin, rhetoric was long identified with the very substance of law and politics. Latterly radical scholars have foregrounded an understanding of law as rhetoric in their polemics against legal formalism, but it needs to be complemented by a critical perspective which goes beyond simple revivalism, taking account of rhetoric's own blind spots, inquirin…
Governing traditional medicine in Kenya
After decades of repression and neglect, traditional medicine in Kenya has become the object of increasing official attention in recent years. Initiatives have been proposed by a range of state bodies and civil society groups to regulate practice and to protect the traditional knowledge on which it is based. These are informed by the work of international bodies with which agencies and groups are closely connected. This paper draws on governmenta…
Restoring Leviathan? The Kenyan Supreme Court, constitutional transformation, and the presidential election of 2013
This paper analyzes the Kenya Supreme Court's ruling in Odinga v IEBC, a petition challenging the declared outcome of the 2013 presidential election. The case was immediately significant given the hope that recourse to the courts would help to avoid widespread civil unrest which had followed the disputed presidential election of 2007. It was also a crucial test for the new dispensation established under the 2010 Constitution widely held to have b…
The right to traditional, complementary, and alternative health care
BACKGROUND: State parties to human rights conventions and declarations are often faced with the seemingly contradictory problem of having an obligation to protect people from harmful practices while also having an obligation to enable access to culturally appropriate effective healing. As people increasingly migrate across the globe, previous distinctions between 'traditional' and 'complementary and alternative medicine' practices are being trans…
The Global Governance of HIV/Aids
The Global Governance of HIV/AIDS explores the implications of high international intellectual property standards for access to essential medicines in developing countries. With a focus on HIV/AIDS governance, the volume provides a timely analysis of the international legal and political landscape, the relationship between human rights and intellectual property, and emerging issues in global health policy. It concludes with concrete strategies on…

Understanding Hollywood's Indian Rhetoric
Intellectual etiquette requires damning the way Hollywood has treated every group and nationality. Pierre Berton's Hollywood's Canada is only a recent example, Berton predictably bemoans the ways in which Hollywood has unfairly fabricated Canada's cinematic identity. Everyone apparently agrees that Hollywood is a factory churning out misrepresentations, yet the books and articles cataloguing Hollywood's transgressions keep coming. Lamenting Holly…
