The heatwave focus needs to include not only the “sites” but also the “source” of climate-induced risks
Empowering Girlhood Journeys
There had been relatively little interest in a narrative of female individuation within mythology. Revisionist myths and legends in contemporary literaturehave thus addressed issues of women’s identity and autonomy while redesigningthe gendered spaces in these cultural narratives. The need for alternative mobility arcs within the cultural imaginary was also recognized for adolescent girls in their quest for subjectivity.This paper thus explores t…
Glorious pasts of forest dwellers
This article discusses the shifts in rights over land of Binjhal Adivasi people in the wake of colonial rule in the ex-zamindari of Borasambar, located in the British Central Provinces in the eventful period from 1860-1926. Oral narratives and documents preserved by Binjhal villagers juxtaposed with archived records of military expeditions, village surveys, administrative letters, and land settlement reports reveal how Binjhal ancestors lost titl…
Risks and resilience
Disasters and crisis are becoming more complex with deadly cascading effects. The current coronavirus pandemic is viewed as the newest form of health and socio-economic crisis that has disrupted the flow of normal life for millions. Viewing the pandemic as a unique or unpredictable occurrence shifts responsibility and accountability from a host of institutional actors to those who were unable to protect themselves from the direct and indirect eff…
Social Policy and State–Community Relationships
Social Policy is concerned with minimising poverty and inequality through redistribution of goods and services. In the twentieth century, after the Second World War, European parliamentary democracies enlarged its ambit by making social policy an important instrument to create equality setting the benchmark for other countries. For the new independent countries in the global South, such as India, social policy followed different trajectories. In …
HIV Interventions to Reduce HIV/Aids Stigma
Pilot study demonstrating effectiveness of targeted education to improve informed consent understanding in Aids clinical trials
Assessing and improving informed consent understanding is equally important as obtaining consent from participants in clinical trial research, but developing interventions to target gaps in participants' informed consent understanding remains a challenge. We used a randomized controlled study design to pilot test an educational intervention to improve actual informed consent understanding of new enrollees in the Adult AIDS Clinical Trial Group (A…
Socio-demographic and Aids-related factors associated with tuberculosis stigma in southern Thailand
These results suggest that approaches addressing the dual TB/HIV epidemic may be needed to combat TB stigma and that simply correcting misconceptions about TB may have limited effects
Silent Endurance and Profound Loneliness
We explored how community responses to HIV contribute to distress in African Americans living with HIV in the rural South of the United States. We listened to the voices of community members through focus groups and African Americans with HIV through interviews. Community avoidance of HIV, negative views of HIV, and discriminatory behavior powerfully affected the distress of people living with HIV (PLWH). Ongoing distress, coupled with limited su…

What Can the Elderly Do to Protect Themselves From the Flu in Addition to Getting a Flu Vaccination
In their article “Racial/Ethnic Differences in Influenza Vaccination Coverage,” Egede and Zheng highlighted the fact that, even though flu vaccine use has improved over time, racial/ethnic inequalities continue to persist. Blacks are less likely than Whites to be vaccinated, particularly in the age group 65 years and older.1 Furthermore, the authors emphasized greater patient–provider communication to improve vaccination rates among Black America…
The Role of Community Advisory Boards
Ethical research involving human subjects mandates that individual informed consent be obtained from research participants or from surrogates when participants are not able to consent for themselves. The existing requirements for informed consent assume that all study participants have personal autonomy; fully comprehend the purpose, risks, and benefits of the research; and volunteer for projects that disclose all relevant information. Yet contem…
