Conduit or conductor? Physician providers’ descriptions of their role as MAiD assessors in the first years after legalisation in Canada
PURPOSE: This qualitative study investigates how Canadian physician-providers of medical assistance in dying (MAiD) perceived their role in making judgements when assessing patients for MAiD. METHODOLOGY: 21 Canadian physician MAiD providers were interviewed about their experience as early-adopting providers. The data were analysed using a phenomenological approach to identify themes and thematic groupings regarding providers' perceptions of role…
Providing medically assisted dying in Canada
PURPOSE: Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) in Canada places the medical provider at the centre of the process. The MAiD provider holds primary responsibility for determining eligibility and becomes acquainted with patients' inner desires and expressions of suffering. This is followed by the MAiD procedure of administering the lethal agent and being present at the death of eligible patients. We report participants' perceptions of the emotional an…
We do not stop being Indigenous when we are in pain”
BACKGROUND: Chronic non-cancer pain is a major burden worldwide. Indigenous communities experience additional inequities in pain care and management influenced by long-standing impacts of colonization, including systemic racism, oppression, and marginalization. Traditional healing knowledges, practices and methods are valued by Indigenous people when managing their pain. However, mainstream health services often disregard this knowledge and fail …
In-betweeners”
This article explores the brokering work performed by frontline workers during the recent New Zealand Mycoplasma bovis biosecurity outbreak and the subsequent eradication programme. The parent programme of study utilised a qualitative research design within a pragmatic orientation, and the dataset supporting this article comprised a subset of individual and group interviews conducted with fifteen frontline workers. The analysis indicates that in …
Mycoplasma bovis and the liminal journey of southern New Zealand farmers
This qualitative study explored the impact of the 2017 Mycoplasma bovis incursion and its management on farmers in southern New Zealand. Eighteen farmers and farming couples were interviewed about their experiences. Analysis of interview data evoked van Gennep's notion of liminality with its journey through distinct phases associated with ambiguity, confusion and uncertainty. Farmers described separation from usual farming practices during the in…
Moral economy and moral capital
Healthcare systems can be considered moral economies in which moral capital in the form of expectations toward norms, values, and virtues are exchanged and traded. Moral capital, as a concept, is an extension of Bourdieu's forms of symbolic, and in particular, cultural capital. This research set out to identify forms of moral capital evident in the accounts of health professionals and patients within the distinctive healthcare systems of Germany,…

Identifying stressor criteria that hinder or challenge junior clinical medical student learning
INTRODUCTION: What makes something a stressor within clinical students' education is unclear. Medical students moving from a predominantly protected classroom environment to a situated-work environment provided an ideal transition point to explore the criteria that might make a learning experience a stressor and whether these stressors hinder or challenge learning. METHOD: Data on the stressors associated with learning experiences in clinical edu…

Patient-physician spiritual interactions and ethics in end-of-life care
People most commonly pray because of their belief in a God or higher power that can hear and respond to these prayers. Patients may ask their physicians to join with them in prayer for many reasons. These requests become particularly poignant when made in the situation of terminal care. How then should a physician respond? We discuss this question using casuistry together with an analysis of the current literature. We provide physicians with a va…

‘There is no sick leave at the university’
This paper examines the role of sick leave in constructing the identity of a good worker. The setting is a public funded New Zealand university. Within a qualitative research design, interviews were conducted with a range of employees and managers about their use and management of sick leave. Sick leave entitlements, use, and management encompass moral discourses that impact upon worker identity. Normalising discourses generated by compliance to …
Hidden in Plain Sight
In this article, we argue that sick leave and its management within the university involves exchanges of moral capital. The circulation of moral capital supports a moral economy, in turn underpinning the political economy of the corporate university. The forms of moral capital are diverse, sometimes easily recognized as such, more often hidden in plain sight. Like other forms of capital, moral capital can be accrued, depleted, and exchanged as it…
Assisted dying in New Zealand
In New Zealand, aiding and abetting a person to commit suicide or euthanasia even with consent, is unlawful. The introduction of a third Bill on assisted dying to the House of Representatives following a high profile court case, afforded an opportunity for examining how assisted dying is discussed in the public sphere. Social media postings include the voices of citizens who may not participate in formal public consultation processes. Contributor…
Mycoplasma bovis in New Zealand
Mycoplasma bovis , a disease affecting cattle worldwide, was first reported in New Zealand in 2017. Classed as an unwanted organism, the Government attempted eradicating it via culling of infected herds. This study reviews media coverage of this process over the first two years following the incursion. Content analysis was used to explore media framing of the management, containment and progress towards eradication of cattle infected by M. bovis …

The discursive context of medical aid in dying
A citizens' jury on euthanasia/assisted dying
Euthanasia or assisted dying (EAD) remains a highly contentious issue internationally. Although polls report that a majority New Zealanders support EAD, there are concerns about the framing of the polling questions, and that those responding to the questions do not know enough about the situations described, the options available and the potential implications of EAD policy. One way to address these concerns is through a citizens' jury, which is …

Care, Cosmopolitanism, and Anthropology
Cosmopolitanism speaks to pan-nationalist and pan-human experience. How can this be reconciled with the lived political economies of care across the formal and informal sectors? How do the critical and interpretive medical anthropological commitments to cultural critique and social justice articulate with cosmopolitanism? We examine these thematics through the contributions of Australian and New Zealand anthropologists. In both countries, paid an…
Transition Into Care
A move to residential care represents a significant transition for older people, between their former independent and autonomous lives, and dependence, frailty and death. The concept of transition is valuable in considering the quality of care. We argue that a successful transition to residential care is one measure of quality in care. We used an ethnographic approach that emphasises participant-observation and qualitative interviewing. Analysis …
Do as I say, not as I do
Medical training as a process of professional socialization has been well explored within the fields of medical education, medical sociology and medical anthropology. Our contribution is to outline a bio-power, more specifically an anatomo-politics, of medical education. The current research aimed to explore perspectives on what is commonly termed the 'hidden curriculum'. We conducted interviews with pre-clinical medical students, clinical teache…
Communities of clinical practice and normalising technologies of self
This paper reports observational research of Fourth Year medical students in their first year of clinical training doing their surgical attachment. Previously, the authors have argued that medical curricula constitute normalising technologies of self that aim to create a certain kind of doctor. Here, they argue that a key mechanism through which these normalising technologies are exercised in the workplace is Etienne Wenger's communities of pract…
The lived political economy of occupational overuse syndrome among New Zealand workers
In New Zealand, as in other industrialised nations, rates of work-related gradual onset injuries increased during the 1980s and 1990s. The perspectives and experiences of workers suffering what became known as occupational overuse injuries in New Zealand offer insights into local lived political economies. Here, we explore the dominant metaphor, 'battling', in participants' narratives. On the face of it, battles were fought over diagnoses, over o…
Communities of clinical practice
The social organization of clinical learning is under-theorized in the sociological literature on the social organization of health care. Professional scopes of practice and jurisdictions are formally defined by professional principles and standards and reflected in legislation; however, these are mediated through the day-to-day clinical activities of social groupings of clinical teams. The activities of health service providers typically occur w…

Moral Economy and Moral Capital in the Community of Clinical Practice
This New Zealand study used focused ethnography to explore the activities of communities of clinical practice (CoCP) in a community-based long-term conditions management program within a large primary health care clinic. CoCP are the informal vehicles by which patient care was delivered within the program. Here, we describe the CoCP as a micro-level moral economy within which values such as trust, respect, authenticity, reciprocity, and obligatio…

Talking around embodiment
Critical interpretive medical anthropology crosses social science and humanities boundaries with its explicit orientation around the paradigm of embodiment as a means of understanding lived experience, social and personal meanings of the body, and the political economy of the body. Perhaps its major contribution to postgraduate medical education is its power to encourage or facilitate reflection that is grounded in practice. This study shows that…

The Embodied Liminalities of Occupational Overuse Syndrome
Drawing on interviews with sufferers of OOS (occupational overuse syndrome) in Aoteraoa/New Zealand, this article explores the liminalities associated with OOS and the ways in which this liminality is embodied. While successful rehabilitation could lead back to employment, the respondents' fragility while living with OOS and its accompanying social stigma render such rehabilitation both literally and symbolically "out of reach." Their situations …
When General Practitioners Become Patients
There is little known about the lived experiences of general practitioners (GPs) who become patients, despite good documentation of their health problems. This study provides a qualitative perspective on issues identified by GPs when they tell stories about their experiences of illness, including their interactions with attending physicians. Respondents articulated several tensions inherent in their experiences of being patients. These can best b…

Communities of clinical practice in action
Burgeoning numbers of patients with long-term conditions requiring complex care have placed pressures on healthcare systems around the world. In New Zealand, complex patients are increasingly being managed within the community. The Community of Clinical Practice concept identifies the network of carers around an individual patient whose central participants share a common purpose of increasing that patient's well-being. We conducted a focused eth…
Living into death
Advance care planning (ACP) has been framed as best practice for quality palliative care, yet a growing body of literature affirms the need for an early iterative ACP process to begin when people are young and healthy. A significant gap appears to exist in the literature regarding the utility of death conversations outside the end-of-life context. Could 'death conversations' early in life be an effective tool by which doctor and patient can co-co…

Embodying occupational overuse syndrome
This article explores the ways in which embodiedness has become problematic for New Zealand sufferers of occupational overuse syndrome (OOS). While successful rehabilitation could lead back to employment, this was based on the biographical continuity of a bodily hexus that ignored persistent pain. The reality of OOS involved a liminal fragility associated with social isolation, loss of identities, pain and functional disability that was incorpora…

Why worry about something you can't control?' Negotiated risk, longevity and health behaviours
While we know about lay attitudes towards death and dying, we understand little about the ways people estimate their overall personal risk of life-limiting disease and/or death. This study contributes to the limited literature on lay longevity reckonings, with a particular focus on how these reckonings may influence health behaviours. Semi-structured interviews were held with 21 young older adults (54-65 years), addressing the core questions of '…

A Matter of Integrity? Affliction and Healing in Christian Science
Christian Science is a form of Christianity with a strong theology of healing, the basis of which is an ontology that denies the reality of the material universe including the physical human body and affliction. An ethnographic study conducted in New Zealand in a Christian Science congregation showed that respondents have unique understandings about the nature of 'self' and 'health'. These understandings underpin explanations of affliction, and h…

Communities of Practice and Anthropological Imaginations
Learning to be an anthropologist involves developing an anthropological perspective or way of seeing. This anthropological imagination is the key feature of the anthropological task of cultural critique. In this paper, I reflect on my experiences teaching anthropology in the context of a distance taught general practice postgraduate course in New Zealand. In this context, students begin to develop an anthropological perspective by practicing with…

Are We One Body?' Body Boundaries in Telesomatic Experiences
This paper explores the embodiedness of body boundaries in the telesomatic experiences of 20 adult twins. Respondents were recruited through snowball sampling resulting in 16 in-depth face-to-face interviews. Interviews were analysed using an immersion-crystallization approach within a meaning-centred interpretive framework. Respondents often experienced trouble making subject-object distinctions between themselves and their co-twins that often r…
Perspectives on access to personal health information in New Zealand/Aotearoa
This study used group interviews to explore Māori and European New Zealander (Pakeha) perspectives on access to personal health information. Two predominant themes emerged: the tension between the individual and society, and differences inherent in the use of formal and informal moral codes. Māori and Pakeha differed in their concept of autonomy and relied on distinct moral codes when considering questions of access; Western values and moral code…

What is spirituality? Evidence from a New Zealand hospice study
Spirituality is increasingly understood to be important in healthcare provision, as seen in policy, guidelines and practice across many Western healthcare systems. Definitions of spirituality remain controversial, despite their importance for consistency in research and practice.

Occupational Overuse Syndrome
In this article we examine the moral ambiguities expressed by New Zealand health professionals regarding their clients and patients who have occupational overuse syndrome (OOS). Workers with OOS were described as being hard working and dedicated, but also undisciplined in their work and personal lives. The goal of rehabilitation in such cases is a return to full work duties and to this end, health professionals represent the disciplinary and norm…

Tossing Out the Baby with the Bath Water
A rapid decline in the number of general practitioners practicing obstetrics followed legislative changes in New Zealand during the early 1990s that changed the maternity care landscape. The resulting repositioning of maternity care professions has seen medical dominance give way to midwifery dominance in the maternity marketplace. Drawing on our research, we suggest that current and former general practitioner obstetricians harbor grievances rel…

Post-earthquake evacuation of aged care residents from Canterbury, New Zealand
In this paper we explore the relocation experiences of older people who were evacuated from damaged aged care facilities following a magnitude 6.3 earthquake on the 22nd February 2011 in Canterbury, New Zealand. Our analysis of older residents’ and staffs’ recollections of the chaotic aftermath of the earthquake and subsequent evacuation to host facilities in Dunedin shows that social capital in the form of social and community support plays a ma…
Employing imaginative rationality
The prevalence of metaphors in medicine is widely acknowledged. In a qualitative study exploring expectations of longevity, we observed repeated recourse to the imaginative rationality provided by metaphors to express perspectives on longevity and death. Bafflement, acceptance, uncertainty and distress were conveyed through metaphors, providing valuable insight into the internal healthcare frameworks of participants. Skilful use of imaginative ra…
Living Rough
This article is based on a qualitative study of modest scope that set out to gain a sense of the daily life of homeless people in a New Zealand regional city. We present our data in the form of an ‘impressionistic tale’ (van Maanen 2011) to convey a day in the life of a homeless person living rough on the streets. Our findings confirm what is already known; that homeless people occupy the crevices of urban spaces. Their daily work is driven by im…
Peripheral Cosmopolitanisms, An Introduction
This special issue on the topic of Peripheral Cosmopolitanisms emerges from a recent international social anthropology conference co-sponsored through the great generosity of the Wenner Gren Foundation, the AAS, the ASAANZ, and the New Zealand Royal Society.
