A Choice We Had to Fight For”
The Cruel Optimism of Suicide Prevention
Suicide has long been constructed as an individual, pathological problem of the mind, requiring a combination of clinical care and interpersonal support to prevent it. The endurance of this individualising and pathologising approach serves to reflect and maintain the marginalisation of sociology in suicide studies. This article contributes to redressing this balance, via analysis of creative, qualitative workshops, which formed part of a broader …
We Don't Let It Build Up
This mixed-methods study examined couples' relationship quality, satisfaction and well-being by comparing semi-traditional, equal-sharing and role-reversed couples. Quantitative analysis involved 2813 parents (1380 men, 1433 women) with at least one child aged 11 or under who were primary caregivers, primary breadwinners or equal-sharers. Qualitative analysis drew on 60 in-depth interviews with 10 couples from each of the groups. Semi-traditional…
Undoing Gendered Identities? Centrality and Meanings of Parental and Work Identities in Semi-Traditional, Equal-Sharing and Role-Reversed Couples
This mixed-methods study explored the centrality and meanings of men’s and women’s parental and work-related identities by comparing semi-traditional, equal-sharing, and role-reversed couples. Quantitative analysis involved 2,813 British parents (1,380 men, 1,433 women) who were primary caregivers, primary breadwinners, or equal sharers with at least one child aged 11 or under. Qualitative analysis drew on 60 in-depth interviews with 10 couples f…
The politics of LGBT+ suicide and suicide prevention in the UK
Suicide is a major public health concern, patterned by systematic inequalities, with lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT+) people being one example of a minoritised group that is more likely to think about and attempt suicide worldwide. To address this, UK national suicide prevention policies have suggested that LGBT+ people should be prioritised in prevention activities. However, there is little research seeking to understand how LGBT+ suicid…
The politics of naming and construction
The problematisation of a social phenomenon is a political process that both constructs the problem and, in doing so, suggests possible remedies and occludes others.Based on the first-ever comprehensive analysis of 129 UK university policies to address Gender-based violence (GBV), we examine how the 'problem' of GBV is conceptualised in institutional policies.We explore three interconnected themes: the nature of the 'problem' that is constituted,…
Suicide prevention as biopolitical surveillance
Suicide prevention policies set out government strategies and priorities for action and in doing so construct meanings, legitimise knowledge and frame possibilities. Despite their importance, prevention policies remain underexamined and taken for granted. Using Bacchi's poststructuralist ‘What's The Problem Represented To Be’ approach we critically analyse UK suicide prevention policies as sites of biopolitical surveillance and consider how suici…
Hierarchies of Masculinity and Lad Culture on Campus
Research on lad culture and gender-based violence (GBV) in student communities has examined hypermasculine gender performances, with little attention paid to hierarchies of masculinity. We explore lad culture by analysing qualitative, in-depth interviews with students. Our findings challenge simplistic constructions of 'good guys' as allies/protectors in opposition to hypermasculinised, deviant 'bad guys'. We demonstrate how such binary construct…
A Balancing Act
This article extends our understanding of how university students make sense of, and respond to, sexual violence in the night-time economy (NTE). Based on semi-structured interviews with 26 students in a city in England, we examine students' constructions of their experiences of sexual violence within the NTE, exploring their negotiations with, and resistance to, this violence. Building upon theories of postfeminism, we interrogate the possibilit…
Masculinizing Care? Gender, Ethics of Care, and Fathers' Rights Groups
This article contributes to theoretical debates around caring masculinity, especially attempts to integrate feminist ethics of care with masculinities scholarship. I apply ethics of care and masculinities theories to an illustrative case study of fathers' rights group (FRG), (Real) Fathers 4 Justice, who, I argue, employ aspects of care perspectives framed as a 'new man/new father' masculinity. Applying ethics of care to analyze caring masculinit…
The New Politics of Fatherhood
This book makes a unique contribution to contemporary research into masculinities, men’s movements, and fathers’ rights groups. It examines the role of changing masculinities in creating equality and/or reinforcing inequality by analysing diverse men’s movements, their politics, and the identities they (re)construct. Jordan advances a typology for categorising men’s movements (‘feminist’, ‘postfeminist’, and ‘backlash’ movements) and addresses de…
Crisis, what crisis? A feminist analysis of discourse on masculinities and suicide
High male suicide rates are often constructed as evidence for an apparent ‘crisis of masculinity’. Conversely, ‘crisis of masculinity’ has been used to explain differential rates of male and female suicide in the UK (and elsewhere). We analyse three public cases where male suicide and ‘masculinity-crisis’ discourse are employed together. Our feminist analysis demonstrates that ‘crisis talk’ and male suicide are addressed in divergent ways. We the…
Conceptualizing Backlash
Conceptualizing “backlash” and “postfeminism” is important to understanding the gender politics of men's movements and men's rights groups. Drawing on the work of relevant (feminist) scholars, I argue for a particular understanding of both backlash and postfeminism and map out a typology intended to help situate different men's movements. The typology distinguishes between backlash, postfeminism, and feminism in terms of the different empirical c…
La aparición de "InfoLibre" y "eldiario.es" para la defensa de un periodismo más democrático y participativo
InfoLibre and eldiario.es are two emerging media that due to the crisis in jourmalism, are born only in digital format. These diaries are presented as defenders of the major democratic ideals, freedom of the press and human rights, among other. Its formula mixed funding allows them to obtain income in two ways: through the contributions made by its members and by selling advertising space
Every Father is a Superhero to his Children
Fathers' rights groups have been characterised by some feminist academics as part of an anti-feminist ‘backlash’, responding to a perceived crisis of masculinity through a problematic politics of fatherhood aimed at (re)asserting control over women and children. This article analyses the construction of gender and masculinity/ies within fathers' rights groups, specifically, the UK-based pressure group, (Real) Fathers 4 Justice. The article explor…
Nuevos modelos en el aprendizaje de la radiodifusión para el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior
As a theoretical discipline, radio has been present in the curricula of schools of communication and journalism of Spanish universities since their first steps. Apart from this traditional and theoretical frame and due to its own special features, radio broadcasting requires a highly practical teaching in keeping with the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) spirit. This practical approach offers also a response to society demands and to our jou…
