Moving from Risky to Response‐able Care
Food rescue is commonly depicted as a means of caring for the hungry and “the environment”. By paying close attention to care practices in food rescue through a review of international literature and fieldwork in Australia’s capital city, we highlight the dominance of risky care . For “Good Samaritan” donors, risky care enables the problems generated by surplus food to be transferred to food rescue organisations. This transferral focuses attentio…
Bordering care
The story of the migrant worker population has always been told as a story of host/guest relations. Story-telling, as a way of making sense of the world, is a powerful tool, but global immigration debates have increasingly painted a picture of guest workers playing the sole role of ‘taking from’ the host, evoking fear and distrust amongst the host nations. The article will begin with a series of stories, which tries to put into practice what Lawr…

Slow Journeys
Established in the late 1980s, the Slow Food movement stated its interest in defending the pleasures of the table from the homogenization of fast food and fast lives. Because of this it has often been disregarded as yet another food and wine club, or misunderstood as a nostalgic desire for bourgeois living. By addressing this partial understanding of the movement, I wish to illustrate, through a case study of Marks and Spencer, the qualitative di…
Depressive mood, the single-parent home, and adolescent cigarette smoking
The association between depressive mood and cigarette smoking among adolescents was examined within a multivariate model. Subjects were 205 eleventh graders (123 boys and 82 girls) enrolled in a Northeast metropolitan public high school for science-oriented students. Logistic regression analysis showed an independent relation of depressive mood, friends' smoking behavior, and living in a single-parent home with cigarette smoking. Depression score…
