Lonely in place? The intersection of loneliness and place in the chronic illness experience
Experiences of People Who Discontinue Long‐Acting Injectable Buprenorphine Treatment Recently Released From Prison in New South Wales, Australia
Navigating contested terrain
Lack of alternative housing forces residents to accept harmful institutional control. • Staff relationships and institutional policies mediate place interpretations. • Identical apartment features create sanctuary or cell depending on trauma history. • Place can function as both an enabling and a risk environment simultaneously. • Health outcomes depend on how structural constraints meet personal experiences
Creating livable lives
The transition from homelessness to a housed life involves complex psychosocial processes that cannot be reduced to the mere fact of securing accommodation. While Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) approaches have shown success in achieving housing stability, less attention has been paid to how people construct meaningful lives after securing permanent housing. Through field observations and in-depth interviews conducted over multiple time points…
Disruption and Improvisation
Chronic illness can disrupt many aspects of life, including identity, social relationships, and anticipated life trajectories. Despite significant scholarship on chronic illness, we know less about the ways in which chronic illness impacts feelings of loneliness and how people with chronic illness deal with loneliness. Drawing on concepts of biographical disruption and liminality and data from walking and photo-elicitation interviews with 14 peop…
Time to reconsider the best practice models of substance use care for young people
The NSW Government announced on 21 September 2022 a half-a-billion dollar investment to deliver targeted health and justice reforms in response to the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Drug Ice. A total of $358 million over 4 years will be directed towards health-related programs including evidence-based treatment, support and early intervention services for priority populations notably young people, Aboriginal people, pregnant women and peo…
There but not really involved
Loneliness is one of the most pressing and rapidly growing contemporary social challenges around the world. Yet we still lack a good understanding of how loneliness is constituted and experienced by those most affected. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 40 people with chronic illness who were experiencing loneliness to explore what loneliness means to them and how it impacts in their daily lives. Drawing on ideas around liquidity and p…
Friendship, connectedness and (in)authenticity for those with chronic illness
Friendship, a key element of social networks, has been under-studied in the social sciences. Chronic conditions can disrupt many aspects of life including identity, anticipated life trajectories and social relationships. Friendship relationships are important sources of support for chronic condition management. However, for individuals with chronic conditions, developing and maintaining close friendships may be particularly difficult. Despite sig…
Health and correctional staff acceptability of depot buprenorphine in NSW prisons
The introduction of depot buprenorphine into correctional settings was considered to have the potential to increase safety for patients, improve staff / patient relations and advance patient health outcomes via expanded treatment coverage and efficiencies gained through enhanced health service delivery. Support was almost universal from both correctional and health staff participating in this study. These findings build on emerging research regar…
Operationalising cultural competency in the context of substance use treatment
The concept of cultural competency raises questions about the meaning of culture, difference and professional practice as well as how best to address religious and cultural marginality, epistemologically and practically, within codes of ethical practice. Despite continued policy and research emphasis on delivering culturally competent substance-use services to the Muslim and Arabic speaking community, limited evidence exists about what health pra…

Shame, Anger and the Lived Experience of School Disengagement for Marginalised Students
Experiences at school are fundamental in shaping young people’s worldviews, sense of worth and willingness to engage, not only at school but also with wider society. This article seeks to gain a deeper understanding of processes of inequality and social exclusion by qualitatively investigating Australian young people’s narratives about their school experiences, paying attention to how relationality shapes schooling subjectivities. The framework o…
Collectively learning to talk about personal concerns in a peer‐led youth program
Youth peer-support is an increasingly established approach to youth work. Drawing on Wenger's theory of a 'community of practice', this study explored social learning processes in an Australian community-based and peer-led youth program for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Social learning was conceptualised as arising from processes of 'negotiated meaning', which Wenger described as a duality of 'participation' and 'reification'. The …
The politics of belonging in Alcoholics Anonymous
A prevalent critique of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is that members must adopt an inflexible illness narrative, taking on an “alcoholic” identity and performing a set of practices to address this condition. Conversely, a small body of research suggests that, rather than comprising the uniform adoption of a rigid narrative, integration into AA is achieved by negotiating individual beliefs, values, and preferences with the AA model. To investigate su…
Youth Practitioners’ Perspectives on Building Agency and Supporting Transitions with and for Young People Experiencing Disadvantage
Examining Aspirational Horizons
Care Coordination for Vulnerable Families in the Sydney Local Health District
This study suggests that a care coordination model may be effective in engaging disadvantaged families in healthcare, assist them in navigating the health system and can lead to beneficial health and social outcomes. Successful implementation of care coordination requires flexible programme design and experienced and skilful clinicians to fulfil the care coordinator role. There is a need to appreciate the negative impact that the complex and silo…
Social Citizenship Aspirations
Lifting the aspirations of disadvantaged young people has been a key focus within youth policies, often constructed as a solution to the complicated problem of achieving social mobility. A growing body of work critiques such policy discourses for their inadequate conceptualizations of aspirations. Particularly, the problematic framing of community culture and the tendency to allocate the problem of low aspirations to individuals’ psyche and cultu…
Health and social interventions in the context of support and control
People who use illicit drugs frequently become targets for welfare intervention, often positioned both as complicit in the reproduction of intergenerational poverty and marginalisation, and as sources of hope for interrupting such patterns. This article draws on empirical research exploring the experiences of highly marginalised people with histories of illicit drug-use to investigate how they negotiate service encounters in the context of the pa…
Nearness and distance
The concept of belonging captures both the overwhelming place-belongingness experienced by many young people living in bounded communities such as refugee communities, as well as the ways belonging is mediated through structural embeddedness and everyday interactions. While the majority of scholarship on belonging emphasise the positive, inclusive aspects of belonging, and generally see belonging as something to be achieved, this article offers a…
