The unheard path
This article analyses a corpus of longitudinal interview evidence on the experiences of family carers in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic, and situates them in a longer historical, philosophical, and political discussion. Drawing on feminist epistemology, medical humanities, loneliness studies, and interdisciplinary scholarship on care, it rethinks carer loneliness and epistemic constraint as the mingled products of a series of overlapping aba…
Shame-Sensitive Public Health
In this article, we argue that shaming interventions and messages during Covid-19 have drawn the relationship between public health and shame into a heightened state of contention, offering us a valuable opportunity to reconsider shame as a desired outcome of public health work, and to push back against the logics of individual responsibility and blame for illness and disease on which it sits. We begin by defining shame and demonstrating how it i…
Solitude is not thrust upon any lovable person’
The relationship between loneliness and shame is frequently asserted, usually under-theorised, and very rarely subject to historical attention and care. Researchers in and across a number of disciplines are comfortable in the truism that shame and stigma are attached to loneliness through a series of psychosocial processes and dialogues, with negative social, medical, cultural and political valuations of loneliness dovetailing into neoliberal (an…

This article employs a feminist perspective on loneliness to interrogate the role of masculinity in shaping male students’ experiences of loneliness at a UK Russell Group university. We argue that a feminist approach to male students’ loneliness decentres masculinity as an explanatory and potentia…
Co-production for or against the university
This paper provides a novel analysis of co-production, impact, and higher education in the context of an original research project with specific challenges and constraints. It is a valuable contribution to methodological literatures on co-production, multidisciplinary research into student loneliness, and reflexive work on the difficult uses of evidence in university contexts
