Mobilizing Cultural Studies
This article reflects on the practice of teaching and learning cultural studies in the context of South Africa. It reflects on the curriculum design and teaching experiences of the “Cultural Studies in Practice” module of the Bachelor of Social Sciences Honors in Culture, Communication and Media Studies offered at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. The module is centered around a compulsory three-day field trip to the KwaZulu-Natal Battlefields Rou…
Predictors of engagement with peer support
Background: A range of evidence for the effectiveness of one-to-one peer support in mental health services is emerging. Levels of engagement with peer support vary with limited studies showing few individual participant characteristics predicting engagement. Implementation factors that might predict engagement have not been considered. Methods: Data were analysed from the intervention arm of the ENRICH trial of one-to-one peer support for dischar…
Conditions for mental health in education
There are concerns globally about the emotional wellbeing and mental health of young people and in this paper a critical orientation comprises both theoretical and empirical data sources. The case is made that (1) the medical model of mental health – that of problem identification, diagnosis and medical treatment at the level of the individual – is not appropriate for the vast majority of children and young people in schools and (2) relational ap…
Knowledge and expertise in care practices
Our research examines how different forms of knowledge and expertise are increasingly important in caring for people experiencing mental illness. We build on theoretical developments regarding multiple ontologies of knowing about illness. We examine how experiential knowledge of mental health problems, learned by being subject to illness rather than through objective study, is enacted in mental healthcare teams. We focus on Peer Workers (PW), ind…

Testimony in a Culture of Disbelief
The ability to bear witness is crucial for those forced migrants who seek asylum in Britain. Within the context of a wider “culture of disbelief”, those others are often greeted with suspicion and are categorised as “bogus” asylum seekers if they cannot provide credible testimony in support of their application. Despite the importance of such narratives, testimonies and life-stories, asylum seekers are frequently silenced and rendered speechless …
A Theoretical Investigation of Public Attitudes Toward Sex Education
Rates of teen pregnancy in the United States are significantly higher than those in most other industrialized nations. This is troubling in light of the consequences to teen mothers, their children, and society. Some suggest that teen pregnancies can be decreased by providing sex education in the public school system, while others believe that sex education is inappropriate for public school. Little research exists, however, on predictors of atti…
Food Mobilities
This article explores how food is good to think mobilities with. Food, taste, and eating are all implicated in differing mobilities, whether corporeal, technological, imaginative, or virtual. The space of the dining car brings together the corporeal mobility of passengers, the technological mobility of the railways, and the mobility of food. Through the reflections of eating in the dining car by E. M. Forster and Roland Barthes, this article expl…
A seat with a view
This article examines the relationship between tourism, the cinema, and English Literature in the ‘English’ films of Merchant Ivory. I trace the changing nature of tourism mobilities in contemporary society by examining the development from a corporeal tourism to a virtual tourism where the cinematic spectator remains immobile while viewing the moving images on the cinema screen. This is brought into focus through a close examination of E. M. For…
Border Politics and Hospitable Spaces in Stephen Frears’s Dirty Pretty Things

United States
Accommodating strangers
This article examines the accommodation of asylum seekers through Jacques Derrida's ethical writings on hospitality, generosity and parasitism. The differing hospitable spaces of the asylum and the hotel, and of the strange figures of the asylum seeker and the tourist, are discussed with reference to these discourses of "giving" and "taking", paralleling Derrida's opposition between unconditional hospitality and hospitality‐as‐economy. This "new …
