Fear of Childbirth Among Pregnant People Facing Anti-Fat Bias
Explicit and implicit anti-fat biases are widespread among healthcare providers, leading to significant negative consequences for pregnant people, including poorer health outcomes. Fear of childbirth (FOC) can affect the length of labor, increase the risk of cesarean delivery, and negatively influence a new parent's perception of infant bonding. This study investigated the impact of perceived anti-fat bias on FOC among pregnant people. Data were …
Eating disorder risk among Australian youth starting a diet in the community
Dieting is a potent risk factor for eating disorder (ED) symptoms and development, which typically occur in late adolescence. However, as diets are often motivated by body image concerns (another core ED risk factor), dieters may already carry heightened ED risk. Thus, the current study aimed to document ED risk among young people starting a diet in the community. Young people (16-25 years) starting or intending to start a self-initiated diet (N …
My Diet Study
Introduction: Self-directed dieting (i.e., unsupervised) is very common among adolescents and young adults but has had almost no direct research. This paper describes the protocol for the My Diet Study, a two-arm observational investigation of the natural progression of dieting among young people over a period of 6-months. The study aims to examine the links between self-directed dieting, general physiological and psychological metrics of wellbei…
The acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of a supported online self-help treatment program for binge-eating disorder
These results support the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of a supported eTherapy program for those with BED and suggest the variability of symptom change across the duration of therapy. Future research should further investigate findings in an adequately powered randomised controlled trial

Elucidating knowledge and beliefs about obesity and eating disorders among key stakeholders
The findings indicate areas where the EDs and obesity fields have common ground and can work together in developing integrated health promotion programs
Fieldwork is Good
This paper reports on research that investigates the effectiveness of residential field courses in geography, earth science and environmental science courses at UK institutions of higher education. The research focuses on the effects of fieldwork in the affective domain, which is thought to be linked to the adoption of effective approaches to learning. Approximately 300 students were surveyed immediately before and after a field class, enabling a…
Shaping childhood risk in post‐conflict rural Northern Ireland
The realities of the ethno‐sectarian conflict have dominated the analysis of social problems within the context of Northern Ireland (NI). As a result of this, issues such as non‐conflict related childhood risk have received less attention than in the remainder of the UK. However, with the rapidly changing agenda of the Peace Process there is now the momentum to take a broader approach to examining Northern Irish society. This paper examines child…
Preparing Geography, Earth and Environmental Science (Gees) Students for Employment in the Enterprise Culture
Changing patterns of employment within the UK and elsewhere have led to a need for geography, earth and environmental science (GEES) graduates to be prepared for a 'portfolio' career. It is advantageous for GEES graduates to be able to identify and capitalize on entrepreneurial opportunities. This paper illustrates how one department has addressed this issue through the introduction of a module in 'enterprise and employability'. The article outli…
The Muslim Quarter
Student Evaluation and Assessment of Group Projects
University teachers in the UK are increasingly being asked to develop skills, such as the ability to work effectively in groups, both by government and by employers. This paper outlines and evaluates, from a student perspective, the use of fieldwork projects to develop group-working skills. It also considers the use of self-assessment for summative purposes and the development of reflective practice or 'learning to learn' skills in students
Teaching Geography to Non-traditional Students
The Department of Environmental and Biological Studies at Liverpool Hope University College recruits an above-average number of students who could be classified as 'non-traditional'. Many are mature and many have gained entry to higher education via routes other than A level. In addition, and increasingly, many have selected or been allocated to the first-year geography modules with little or no experience of geography education. These students u…
Dilemmas and Developments
In 'The Woman Poet: Her Dilemma' (1986-7), the Irish poet Eavan Boland argued that women poets were obstructed on the one hand by traditional ideas of femininity and poetry, and on the other by the demands of separatist feminism. In 'Dilemmas and Developments: Eavan Boland Re-examined' Sarah Maguire argues that in recent years women poets have clearly achieved greater confidence as a result of changes in their audience. However, the underlying di…
Researching 'a family affair
In 1998, the author, a feminist lawyer, carried out a research project on behalf of Oxfam GB, studying Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and Albania. Maguire discusses the project method and findings, and urges international aid agencies to focus their attention on domestic violence, particularly by working with women's organisations
Gender differences in attitudes to undergraduate fieldwork
Although there has been some research examining the implications of changes in funding in higher education for undergraduate fieldwork, there has been little work looking at the effects that a more diverse student body has upon activities of this nature. This study aims to begin to redress this by researching the attitudes of students to fieldwork, and specifically by highlighting their gender differences
