It Felt Sexually Liberating”
Kink and BDSM can have healing and liberatory potential for practitioners, whether kink-identified or not, particularly Black women and those who are members of alternative sexual communities. This study presents data from N = 22 kink/BDSM-identified, experienced, and non-kinky/BDSM Black ciswomen on their awareness of and engagement in kink and BDSM (bondage and discipline, sadism and masochism, dominance, and submission). Qualitative data were …
The Power to Change
Social workers have the power to change and shape lives as well as potentially miss opportunities to move an individual, family or group onto a more positive path... ... . The consequences of not having social workers in society would be detrimental to so many I believe. (Comensus collective member CC) We are the Comensus Writing Collective. We have been brought together by our experiences of social care from our perspectives, either as a service…
The Effects of Leadership Curricula With and Without Implicit Bias Training on Graduate Medical Education
From trial to practice
Our findings allow broad-scale estimates of the nature and severity of reactions one might expect following vaccination within a clinically-diverse community, and provide a context for addressing vaccine hesitancy in communities such as ours, where locally-generated data and communication may be more influential than national trends and statistics in convincing individuals to become vaccinated. Further, we argue this community-based approach coul…

The Social Worker Speaks
Uncovering History
In conducting his research for The Last Refuge (1962), Peter Townsend visited 173 public, voluntary and private residential care homes for older people in England and Wales. Drawing on his data, now archived at the University of Essex, we traced the subsequent history of these homes and revisited a sample that were still functioning as care homes in 2006. In this article, we focus on the 42 private homes he visited, some of which remain open and …
Development of ‘Intelligence’
Using photography to understand change and continuity in the history of residential care for older people
The Last Refuge by Peter Townsend is a seminal study of residential care for older people. The fieldwork was carried out in the late 1950s and the data are now deposited in the National Social Policy and Social Change Archive at the University of Essex. We have undertaken research, funded by the ESRC, which has revisited Townsend's work and some of the homes he studied in order to conduct an overtime comparison. In this paper we focus on Townsend…
Older people “found dead” at home
This paper arises from current proposals to reform the Coroner Service in England and Wales. In it, we explore the extent to which inquests offer the opportunity to increase our understanding of the situation of older people who are “found dead.” This is a kind of death that might be categorized as a “bad death” and, as such, one that will involve the coroner. Research that has been conducted on older people who have been found dead indicates tha…
Self-neglect in later life
Although considerable attention has been given to the abuse and neglect of older people by others, little attention has been given to self-neglect in later life. This paper reviews the research literature on self-neglect which comes primarily from the medical profession. It is argued that evidence that gross self-neglect constitutes a specific psychiatric syndrome (commonly referred to as Diogenes syndrome) is scant. Given current moves to make l…
An evaluation of the use of diaries in a study of medication in later life
This paper is based upon our experience of commissioning diaries to be kept by research subjects. First the paper reviews some previous research based on diaries, then it outlines the aims of our research and the method of data collection. Then the paper goes on to evaluate the design and use of a diary that participants in our research completed. In particular we consider the ways in which the diary may have biased our sample, caused the partici…

Valuing lives? Obituaries and the life course
This paper presents the outcome of a preliminary study of the various images of the life course that are conveyed in published obituaries. Following a review of recent developments in the obituary columns of national newspapers in the United Kingdom, we present our analysis of the 86 obituaries that were published in The Guardian in June 1995. We pay particular attention to the ways in which obituaries cover the biography, age, ill-health, death …

On defining ageism
Ageism' has entered the popular vocabulary. whilst it is easy to catalogue examples of ageism, its definition remains problematic, frequently relying upon parallels with racism and sexism. This paper endeavours to draw out the distinctive character of ageism as it relates to biological ageing and to the measurement of age, as well as to the question of whether 'elderly people' are a minority group. We argue that a radical critique which only conc…
