The Next Frontier of People-Centred Care
Background: In the evolving landscape of integrated health systems, advancing people-centred care is crucial for fostering safe, equitable, comprehensive, and sustainable health and social care systems and services that meet community and population health needs. Patients' experiential knowledge is increasingly recognized as a complementary, valuable form of knowledge enriching professional expertise. A 2024 publication by Vincent Dumez and Audre…
Nursing & Midwifery
In response to reported tension between Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives working together in a large obstetrical unit in Alberta, an interprofessional committee was struck to co-design approaches to explore challenges, successes, and opportunities for improvement regarding nurses and midwives working together
We’re saying that we trust them but really we don’t
One key consequence of the UK leaving the EU (Brexit) is that it now has full responsibility for making its own international trade policy. In this context, NatCen and the Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy initiated Citizens’ Juries on the topic of trade policy. From the transcripts of these juries, we created a corpus of 317,974 words. Using corpus-assisted discourse analysis, we focus on the concept of trust in trade policy. We find that trust …
A new poetics of testimonial activism
Feminism/memory/activism
This special issue enriches the emerging dialogue on feminism, memory, and activism by showcasing activists, movements, and cultural productions that have received little attention, and by developing analytic frameworks that amplify their innovative acts of resistance and repair. It explores the politics and aesthetics of women’s activism, including aesthetic activism, in making visible and responding to the harms flowing from legacies of disposs…
Charting English Global Presence and its Violent Effects in Early Modernity
The maps tasked with charting English new-found seafaring prowess in the latter half of the sixteenth century constitute an ambivalent archive. They participated in the imaginative work of conceptualising the world as whole and singular, held within a unified cosmos. At the same time, they were distinctly partisan, helping to advance English adventurism and construct an elevated vantage point where, the would-be English colonialist, might imagine…

Feminist Protest and the Disruptive Address of Naked Bodies
The strategies with which a new generation of feminist activists have made visible the impact of gender-based violence have rendered bodies legible in the public discourses that challenge the social norms of everyday life in post-apartheid South Africa. This article considers the implications of public nakedness for an understanding of precarity not only as a condition but also as a resource for the politics of resistance. It examines the testimo…
Shakespeare in the Global South
Contemporary adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays have brought into sharp focus the legacies of slavery, racism and colonial dispossession that still haunt the global South. Looking sideways across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to nontraditional centres of Shakespeare practice, Shakespeare in the Global South explores the solidarities generated by contemporary adaptations and their stories of displacement and survival. The book takes its lead from…
Shakespeare’s Transcolonial Solidarities in the Global South
Why and how do contemporary theatre practitioners from across ‘the Arab world’—a misleadingly simple shorthand for a vast, diverse, and rapidly changing region of the globe—adapt and perform Shakespeare? On Friday the 5th of August in the Great Hall of King’s College London, the 2016 World Shakespeare Congress’s ‘Arab Shakespeares’ panel convened to analyse the significance, the challenges, and the creative innovations of translations, appropriat…
Richard Hakluyt’s Voyages
The Early Modern Global South in Print
Early modern geographers and compilers of travel narratives drew on a lexicon derived from cartography’s seemingly unchanging coordinates to explain human diversity. Sandra Young’s inquiry into the partisan knowledge practices of early modernity brings to light the emergence of the early modern global south. Young proposes a new set of terms with which to understand the racialized imaginary inscribed in the scholarly texts that presented the peop…
Social determinants of health in the Mixtec and Zapotec community in Ventura County, California
Many basic needs in the Mixtec and Zapotec community in Ventura County are unmet. It will require many different resources and services to address the needs of this community and to overcome longstanding inequities that are experienced by immigrant farm workers. Our findings will guide the development of future health programs and will serve as a baseline to evaluate the impact of services to improve the health conditions in this community
Building Capacity to Address Women's Health Issues in the Mixtec and Zapotec Community
Early modern geography and the construction of a knowable Africa
Africa was integral to the early modern preoccupation with being able to account for the “whole” world in seemingly scholarly fashion. The Africa that took shape in early modern geographies was not imagined in isolation: its cultural geography was linked to other regions of the world in a comparative system that helped to distinguish between the “barbarous” and those “worthy” to be called human, and between the “Southern Nations” and the “Norther…
Fast-Food Fights
Zoning and other land-use policies are a promising but controversial strategy to improve community food environments. To understand how these policies are debated, we searched existing databases and the Internet and analyzed news coverage and legal documentation of efforts to restrict fast-food restaurants in 77 US communities in 2001 to 2013. Policies intended to improve community health were most often proposed in urban, racially diverse commun…
Method or Madness? The Vicissitudes of “Global Shakespeare”
Envisioning the Peoples of ‘New’ Worlds
The woodcut images that were deployed within early geographies and on maps helped to establish the racialized imaginary within which the people of the south become known. One of the first sets of images of the peoples of Africa and the ‘new’ world was the series of woodcuts by Hans Burgkmair, published initially as an independent wall frieze (1508). Their reappearance within varied textual forms over the next century provides an intriguing case s…
Rehearsing Trauma
Accounts of detention survivors exert pressure on the theoretical framework that reserves a role for the reader in a post-Freudian hermeneutics of catharsis. In analysing the prison narratives of Ruth First and Emma Mashinini, I explore the position of the imagined reader in the complex dynamic at work when writing emerges from a position of woundedness. A reappraisal of the role of the imagined reader is warranted, in order to accommodate both t…
Training Mixtec Promotores to Assess Health Concerns in Their Community
Narrating Colonial Violence and Representing New-World Difference
In tracing the stories—or ‘‘histories,’’ as sixteenth-century exploration narratives were called—with which expansionist Europe came to know its colonial Other, we see outlines of the habits of thought and the systems of identification with which imperialist Europe constructed its world.1 Thomas Harriot’s A briefe and true report of the new found land of Virginia has been read as a key text in the development not only of knowledge specifically of…
Let your indulgence set me free
A joint production of The Tempest by Stratford's Royal Shakespeare Company and Cape Town's Baxter Theatre raises questions about the possibilities, and difficulties, of the deliberate 'Africanisation' of Shakespeare. I consider the interpretative function an unapologetic, celebratory 'Africa' performs when it is put in conversation with canonical Shakespeare. Drawing on Terence Hawkes's notion of 'presentism', I argue that in its effects this par…

Narrative and Healing in the Hearings of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission
The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission generated the extraordinary hope that individual testimonies would bring about national catharsis. This article asks whether narrative structure, shaped by the language and rituals of the church, psychotherapy, and nation-building, encourages an orientation towards the future that sanctions forgetting as well as remembering
