Acceptability and Feasibility of a Mobile Phone Application to Support HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Among Women with Opioid Use Disorder
Knowing me, knowing you’
The overall aim of this grounded theory study was to explore the context of a nursing home as ‘home’ from the perspective of residents and staff. Sixteen focus group interviews were used to collect qualitative data from nursing home residents (N = 48) and staff (N = 44). Five distinct categories captured the views and experiences of participating residents and staff. These were: (a) Starting off on the right foot, ‘First impressions can be the la…
Swing space
Buildings and interiors are often designed by reductive formulas. This is particularly true for housing, where such formulas stunt the potential lives an interior can support. In the face of rigid constraints, however, can designers approach housing optimistically but ruthlessly? Here, a design studio opens up the problem of housing by studying assisted living in Selma, Alabama. Because of the rapidly changing dynamics of the lives of elderly peo…
Parents’ discursive accounts of their children’s participation in rugby league
Critical discursive psychology (CDP) was employed to examine how parents’ accounts of their young children’s participation in rugby league in New Zealand negotiate parental identities and, in particular, attend to issues of accountability in that role. The study analysed semi-structured interview data from 21 parents to examine the ways in which personal narratives intersect with parenting discourses. CDP notions of discourse were used to examine…
Barriers to Sars-CoV-2 Testing among U.S. Employers in the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. companies were seeking ways to support their employees to return to the workplace. Nonetheless, the development of strategies to support the access, use, and interpretation of SARS-CoV-2 testing was challenging. In the present study, we explore, from the perspective of owners and company leadership, the barriers to SARS-CoV-2 testing among U.S. companies. Key informant interviews with company r…
Triumph in austerity? The National Football Museum for England, 2008 to 2017
There are an increasing number of football museums around the world, particularly club museums, and also some national football museums, which the author has explored in a previous paper. The most significant football museum in the world is the National Football Museum for England, the birthplace of the modern game of football, Association football. This is a major new museum, a major new cultural institution, and the leading sports museum in Eng…

The Rainbow Knapsack Revisited
Peggy McIntosh published “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” in 1989. Thirty years later, I revisit McIntosh’s seminal work on White privilege to reframe her discussion to one involving heterosexual privilege, most notably as that privilege affects LGBTQ teachers. I rewrite several of McIntosh’s first-person statements to reflect sexual identity instead of race in order to shed light on the pervasive heteronormativity that has the…
Football is not ‘a matter of life and death’. It is far less important than that. Football and the Covid-19 pandemic in England
Football is currently given a significance it just does not deserve. To many fans now, it seems to have an obsessional, unhealthy importance. The current Covid-19 pandemic is an opportunity to gain a renewed perspective on football. It is just a game. We can easily live without it – if we have to. During the Second World War, for example, professional league football stopped in England for seven years. The current disruption of the game may enabl…
Sport and Physical Activity Practices Examined Through Parents’ Discourse About Children’s Rugby League
This study examined the ways in which discourses operate when parents talk about their children’s participation in rugby league in New Zealand. The primary interest was in the recruitment and reinforcement of sport and physical activity discourses. The paper uses a critical discursive psychological approach to identify regularities in the ways a sample of parents spoke about their children’s sport and links these patterned ways of speaking to the…
A landscape and landscape biography approach to assessing the consequences of an environmental policy implementation
Assessing outcomes of agri-environmental policy implementations is complex. Traditional parametric methods such as using key indicators can miss outcomes that are displaced in time and space, seldom account for the integrated nature of social and biophysical dynamics, and may overlook unintended consequences. This project aimed to overcome these drawbacks by using a landscape biography approach to analyse an innovative agri-environmental policy e…
Swimming With Ideas
Creativity that is driven by a need for physical or economic survival, which disasters are likely to inspire, raises the question of whether such creativity fits with conventional theories and perspectives of creativity. In this paper we use the opportunity afforded by the 2010–2013 Christchurch, New Zealand earthquakes to follow and assess the creative practices and responses of a number of groups and individuals. We use in-depth interviews to t…

Hard work or child's play? Migrant coaches’ reflections on coaching gymnastics in New Zealand
Since the 1990s, a number of gymnastics coaches from the former Soviet Union (FSU) have migrated to New Zealand where they have taken up full-time employment working as coaches within gymnastics clubs. This study utilized life story interviews with migrant Russian coaches and conceptual resources from discursive psychology to examine how these coaches understand unfamiliar cultural discourses relevant to their coaching practice, and how they resp…

Beyond the ‘swampy lowlands’
First paragraph: Over the past 30 years, UK welfare policies have placed increasing emphasis on activation and conditionality, drawing in previously unaffected sickness and disability benefits and claimants from the welfare periphery. People experiencing sickness and disability are more vulnerable to poverty and significant income reduction and particularly those of working age (Macmillan Cancer Support, 2006). Sickness and disability may also ha…
Factors contributing to dropping out from and returning to HIV treatment in an inner city primary care HIV clinic in the United States
Although advances in pharmacotherapy have enabled people living with HIV/AIDS to live longer, fuller lives, some leave medical care, resulting in sub-optimal treatment and increased health risk to themselves and others. Forty-one patients who dropped out of an urban, publically funded primary care HIV clinic were contacted and encouraged by outreach staff to return. Participants were interviewed within two weeks of returning, and themes associate…
Gender Differences in Baseline Health, Needs at Release, and Predictors of Care Engagement Among HIV-Positive Clients Leaving Jail
Sport History, Public History, and Popular Culture
Academic sport history has come a long way in a relatively short period of time, using a growing range of theoretical approaches, drawing on an expanding range of disciplines, tackling an increasingly wider range of subjects. This includes exploring sport as a popular cultural practice. Yet we must also recognize that public sport history has been around for much longer and has grown even more significantly in recent decades. The relationship bet…

Life was never meant to be easy”
According to Malcolm Fraser, a former Prime Minister of Australia, "life was never meant to be easy." The Buddha agreed, famously stating that "All life is pain." The daily experiences of most of us might confirm this: effort, work, "forcing it," "pushing on," and the anxiety induced by our constant performative tip-toeing through the world, all connote a drain on our reserves - physical, emotional, cognitive - that modern life appears to impose

The OE goes ‘home’
In this article we examine cultural aspects of the working holiday experience using the New Zealand Overseas Experience (OE) as a significant and revealing exemplar of this kind of travel. To date, the working holiday experience has been poorly served by tourism and migration literature in general terms, with even less attention paid to cultural aspects of these experiences in relation to both their origin and form. Using archival material and in…

Intersecting Global and Local Influences in Urban Place Promotion
The promotion of cities as tourism destinations is seen as a way to enable growth. This promotion involves the projection of selective imagery to specific target groups and often includes the physical reshaping of places to fit a promotable image. Attempts to understand these processes have often focused on one of two approaches: a global perspective stressing the consumptive nature of the tourist gaze and the resultant commodification of place a…
Sports heritage and the re‐imaged city
Sport is increasingly a part of the regeneration strategies of British cities and there is an increasing connection between sport and culture within these strategies. It is perhaps surprising, therefore, that there is only one clear example where sports heritage (in the form of a sports museum) has been a significant part of a city’s regeneration initiative, the National Football Museum in Preston. This paper considers the development of this Mus…
Rhetoric, claims making and conflict in touristic place promotion
The nature of place promotion is such that a number of often conflicting meanings are invested in places. This is because place promotion addresses specific target audiences, who have to be persuaded of a place's worth. Often, there are a number of target audiences and the same place is promoted in different ways to different audiences, as has been the case in the central city of Christchurch, which is claimed by different interests for different…
Reverse Diaspora and the Evolution of a Cultural Tradition
There has been considerable interest recently in various new forms of transnational migration and patterns of travel. Often these are understood as novel consequences of the numerous transformations involved in the different dimensions of globalisation. In this paper we argue that, while new technologies and recent social and economic changes clearly influence the formation of these new transnational migratory forms, the role of cultural and hist…

The Taking of a Position
This article explains how data associated with attitude change and persuasion in mainstream psychology and social psychology can be reinterpreted as evidence of the agentive ability of taking a position. A critical review is made of the elaboration likelihood model and a position model is adapted from positioning theory. The postulates of the elaboration likelihood model are then subjected to critical scrutiny by means of comparison with our posi…
Taking a Position
This paper examines methodological issues associated with the theory of planned behaviour and explains that an alternative account of data used to support this theory can be provided by positioning theory. A case is presented that shows tests of the theory of planned behaviour fail to eliminate the possibility of alternative explanations for co‐variation in its data. An agency or person‐centered alternative shows how a causal interpretation can b…

Museums and Popular Culture
Museums were originally established as centres of high culture, intended to showcase the achievements of modern civilization. In the late 1990's this ideological role has been questioned. This book argues that museums provide the best means with which to understand and interpret popular culture.
Going Nowhere' with Wittgenstein
Wittgenstein is famous for eschewing `scientific' explanations of language in philosophy and for commending, as an alternative, the examination of ordinary language, `the language of everyday'. `Scientific' explanations should be avoided, according to Wittgenstein, because they lead our attention into paradoxical ontologies and away from the one place where solutions and clear understandings will be found. This desire to avoid going into such ont…
