Mild structure, low pressure
This study aimed to understand how COVID-19 affected social connection, barriers to connection, and generated ideas for creating pro-connection activities and spaces. The approach was guided by design principles and included generative interviews and a group workshop with young people aged 16–24 years. COVID-19 allowed young people to recognize the importance of face-to-face and incidental social contacts and appreciate deeper connections to frie…
Quarantine preparedness – the missing factor in Covid-19 behaviour change? Qualitative insights from Australia
Findings demonstrate that in addition to having the capability and motivation to adhere to restrictions, it is vital that people are also encouraged to prepare for the challenge to ensure access to physical, social and emotional support. Findings also illustrate the importance of engaging communities in planning and preparedness for quarantine and self-isolation public health responses
Les blueswomen contre le patriarcat
Angela Davis, militante communiste africaine-américaine et membre du Black Panther Party, est aujourd’hui professeure de philosophie à l’université de Santa Cruz. Nous sommes reconnaissants aux éditions Libertalia et à son traducteur Julien Bordier de nous autoriser à publier un extrait de son livre majeur bientôt republié en poche, Blues et féminisme noir , paru pour la première fois en anglais en 1999. Ce livre est passionnant à plus d’un titre…
Murder Incorporated - Perfecting Tyranny
Not my child’
Most young people will be exposed to online pornography for the first time during childhood or early adolescence. Despite limited evidence of long term impacts, concerns about the negative influence of pornography on young viewers’ sexual attitudes and practices have led to calls for the development of policy, resources, and guidelines to assist in navigating these experiences in family and community settings. Pornography and sex education are cl…
The Transatlantic Kindergarten
Ann Taylor Allen’s new book tells the history of the kindergarten movement in Germany and the United States from its origins in the early nineteenth century until the First World War. Allen argues that rather than treating the history of the kindergarten movement as independent, national stories, it needs to be viewed as one transnational history incorporating both Germany and the United States. She establishes the links between the two countries…
Gendered Perspectives on Men's Changing Familial Roles in Postwar England, c .1950–1990
This article examines the ways in which men and women remember men's place in, and experiences of, family life in postwar England during a period when a new ideal of fatherhood arguably emerged. Based on forty-four oral history testimonies with men and women, this article adds a new dimension to existing literature in gender history by closely examining men's and women's perspectives on the same issues. Focusing on decisions around family plannin…
Generation and Memories of Sex and Reproduction in Mid-Twentieth-Century Britain
In this article I explore the influence of one’s generation on the interview encounter in a group of oral history interviews I conducted with women from Oxfordshire and Berkshire about their lives in mid-twentieth-century Britain. I examine how the women interviewed told their stories of gaining sexual knowledge, at home and at school, and my influence as the interviewer in determining what was said. I pay special attention to the theme of genera…
What Behaviors Do Young Heterosexual Australians See in Pornography? A Cross-Sectional Study
This study investigated how frequently a group of young heterosexual Australians (ages 15 to 29) saw a range of behaviors represented in pornography over the previous 12 months. Participants were recruited to an anonymous online survey. Those who reported having viewed pornography in the past 12 months (n = 517) indicated how frequently they saw each of a list of 17 behaviors when they watched pornography in the past 12 months. Men's pleasure (83…

Belonging and 'Unbelonging
This article analyses the life stories of female Jewish refugees and survivors in 1950s Britain in order to explore their relationship with the existing Jewish community and wider society. The paper is based on an analysis of twenty-one oral history testimonies from the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust collection held at the British library. Around 50,000 Jewish refugees from Central Europe came to Britain in the 1930s after fleeing from Hitler.…
I Want Them to Learn about Israel and the Holidays’
Research has shown that the presence of children in the Jewish Israeli emigrant family intensifies their ambivalence about living abroad, but encourages greater involvement with fellow Israelis as they seek to transmit a Jewish Israeli identity and maintain their children's attachment to the Jewish state. This article explores this assumption by focusing on the experiences of mothering of a group of Israeli emigrants in Britain. Based on twelve o…

Introduction to “Transforming pregnancy since 1900”
Around 1900, few pregnant women in Western Europe or North America had any contact with a medical practitioner before going into labour. By the end the twentieth century, the hospitalisation of childbirth, the legalisation of abortion and a host of biomedical technologies from the Pill and IVF to obstetric ultrasound and prenatal diagnosis had dramatically extended the reach of science and medicine into human reproduction. This shift has a long a…
Tania McIntosh, A Social History of Maternity and Childbirth
In A Social History of Maternity and Childbirth Tania McIntosh documents the history of maternity care in twentieth-century England. While it includes references to McIntosh's prior research on the history of maternity in Sheffield, and to that of others—making use of oral histories as well as local health records and contemporary reports—the book is essentially a synthesis of existing scholarship. It flags up key themes and debates (such as the …

Wartime women giving birth
Women in Second World War Britain benefitted from measures to improve maternal and child health. Infant and maternal mortality rates continued to fall, new drugs became available, and efforts were made to improve the health of mothers and babies through the provision of subsidised milk and other foodstuffs. However, in return, women were also expected to contribute to the war effort through motherhood, and this reflected wider cultural ideas in t…

A Critical Perspective on British Social Surveys and Community Studies and Their Accounts of Married Life c .1945–70
The family was a subject of prime importance to sociologists in the post-war period. Married life was one of the principal themes of British social surveys and community studies undertaken at this time. This article investigates the limitations associated with these contemporary analyses and how they can be explained. It will examine the relationship between the studies' findings and contemporary social developments, the variations in married lif…
Uncovering the Lives of Women in Post-War Oxfordshire
Writing in 1960 Margaret Stacey asserted that, ‘Women, compared with men, tend to show group characteristics regardless of other social factors like class. Their training from childhood sets them apart from boys and together as potential wives and mothers.’ This article will question whether Oxfordshire women did indeed believe that there was a commonality in their experiences at this time, irrespective of the locality in which they lived or the …

To What Extent Were Women’s Experiences of Maternity Influenced by Locality? Benson, Oxfordshire c.1945 to 1970
The birth of a first child was a life-transforming event for most women in the years between I945 and I970 and the significance of motherhood for women, for their children and for society universally accepted. A number of social surveys, community studies, and medical studies were conducted during this period; however, discourses of class and later gender dominated their analyses. This article argues that by examining the effects of locality as w…

Fighting for her Future
Part of a larger study of race and gender politics in women's prisons within a transnational, comparative context, this paper is based on a series of interviews conducted with imprisoned women in the Netherlands. We argue that in relation to the US system, the relatively progressive character of the Dutch prison system emanates from its consistent deployment of human rights principles in structuring conditions of custody. We further suggest that …
