Just get a clearer idea of who I am ’: LGBTQIA+ people’s experiences of abortion care in Aotearoa New Zealand following law reform
Sexual and reproductive healthcare (SRH) is recognised internationally as a human right, but inequities exist in both access to, and outcomes from, SRH in some populations. LGBTQIA+ people accessing abortion services can have harmful experiences related to embedded norms that construct abortion care as being for cisgender heterosexual women. In Aotearoa New Zealand, legislative reform has decriminalised and liberalised abortion care to improve ac…
Let All Identities Bloom, Just Let Them Bloom: Advancing Trans-Inclusive Perinatal Care Through Intersectional Analysis
Intersectionality, as a praxis and methodology, enables researchers to attend to their social justice goals. Yet, intersectionality has been under-employed in research centering trans people's healthcare experiences. Not attending to intersectionality has been argued to reinforce the very structural inequities researchers are trying to challenge. This article presents a re-analysis of interview data of 20 Trans Pregnancy Care Project participants…
Self-identified fat people’s understanding of the need for, and use of, long needles when being vaccinated against Covid-19: Findings from a international online exploratory survey
This short report presents the findings of an online survey of self-identified fat people in eight countries identified as having guidelines for the use of long needles in SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination programmes. The survey captures fat people’s understanding of the need for, and knowledge about the use of, a long needle when being vaccinated against COVID-19. Our findings identified a knowledge gap amongst fat people about…
Resisting the problematisation of fatness in Covid-19: In pursuit of health justice
The purpose of this paper is to explore the problematisation of fatness in contemporary responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper draws from the catalogue of reports from journalists informed largely by an array of non-peer reviewed scientific literature documenting the relationship between fatness and COVID-19. Our method of enquiry is to examine fatness and COVID-19 through a problematisation lens that enables us to interrogate the scienti…
Productive but not constructive: The work of shame in the affective governance of fat Pregnancy
The productivity of shame as an affective-discursive practice implicated in the neoliberal governance of “healthy pregnancy” is examined in the narratives of 27 ethnically diverse, cis-gendered, self-identified fat pregnant people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Shame is identified as a dominant affective-discursive practice produced in response to the problematising medical discourses surrounding the fat pregnant body, leading to the constitution of sh…
Pregnant with possibility: Negotiating fat maternal subjectivity in the “War on Obesity”
The embodied temporality of fat pregnancy in the mist of the “obesity epidemic” is explored through interviews with 27 ethnically diverse, cisgendered, self-identified fat pregnant people in Aotearoa New Zealand. The interaction of pre-emptive biopolitics and pregnant maternal responsibilities encouraged the fat pregnant people in this study to set aside their embodied knowing and enjoyment of pregnancy to focus on strategies that could protect t…
I'm Just a Woman Having a Baby”: Negotiating and Resisting the Problematization of Pregnancy Fatness
This article explores how fat pregnant people construct successful narratives around their pregnancies and birthing. Fat pregnant people are a critical site for the war on fatness; viewed as irresponsible: threatening the health of their pregnancy, and the far-off future of their child. Contemporary knowledge about pregnancy fatness is imbued with longstanding and powerful gendered biomedical discourses that have served to script women’s reproduc…
Mothers at Large: Responsibilizing the Pregnant Self for the “Obesity Epidemic”
‘Maternal obesity’ has recently been linked with poor childbirth outcomes and health effects on the developing fetus and future person. These studies have been sensationally reported in the Australasian news media, resulting in a reorientation of public health policy toward the management and prevention of ‘risky’ fat pregnant bodies. This article draws on Foucauldian governmentality theory and intersectional analysis to argue that the framing of…
Constructions of masculinity in alcohol advertising: Implications for the prevention of domestic violence
Alcohol advertisements are a potentially potent site for the representations of masculinity and gender relations given alcohol's role as a rite of passage for young men in Western cultures. Concerns about violence against women draw attention to the representations of masculinity that alcohol advertisements privilege and that may have important implications for gender relationships. Traditional masculinities have been associated with domestic vio…
The Beginnings of the Book Trade in Canada
Frontier society in nineteenth-century Canada was hungry for all the information and entertainment it could get. By the close of the century, the book-printing, import-wholesaling, and retail trades were flourishing. But embedded in their structures were the seeds of problems that have plagued the Canadian book trade ever since.This first extensive history of Canada's early book trade begins with the impact of the Gutenberg printing revolution on…
