Strategic Advocacy
“When I was pregnant, the amount of fear that I had not knowing if I was going to make it. It is something that I don’t want more women to have to go through. So if there’s a way I can help, if there is education, or resources, or connecting a doula to a mom, if there’s something that I can do to alleviate all that and try to make it one less number, I will do that. I will do that.”

Credentialing care
Doulas in the United States offer embodied, informational, and continuous one‐on‐one care to birthing people. Doulas have historically sought certification to gain knowledge through training and to gain legitimacy for healthcare providers and clients. During the COVID‐19 pandemic, hospitals required doulas to provide proof of certification. The COVID‐19 pandemic, and the proliferation of state‐sponsored doula programs, has sparked a shift in how …
Isolation of care
In response to COVID-19, hospitals in the United States put rigorous risk-reduction measures into place, including strict no-visitor policies. The resulting patient isolation has had negative effects on the mental health and wellbeing of healthcare providers and patients. We argue that COVID-19 risk assessments failed to consider the long-term effects of isolation on the health and wellbeing of patients and healthcare providers. These findings ha…
Exposed Intimacies
COVID-19 has overwhelmed health-care providers. The virus is novel in its prevalence, severity and the risk of asymptomatic infection. In order to reduce the risk of infection and stop the spread of COVID-19, clinicians in hospitals across the United States are taking measures to limit exposure to infected patients by reducing the frequency of visits to patients’ rooms, touching patients less, and adopting new protocols around the use of personal…
Living, dying, after death
AIDS has devastated communities across southern Africa, leaving many children orphaned. Grandmothers are considered ideal caregivers because of cultural expectations of intergenerational care, and because they have not been decimated by AIDS to the same extent as younger adults. However, these grandmothers, who currently carry the majority of the burden of care for AIDS orphans, are themselves aging and dying. I argue here that in Lesotho, the ca…
Reconsidering the orphan problem
Care for AIDS orphans in southern Africa is frequently characterized as a "crisis", where kin-based networks of care are thought to be on the edge of collapse. Yet these care networks, though strained by AIDS, are still the primary mechanisms for orphan care, in large part because of the essential role grandmothers play in responding to the needs of orphans. Ongoing demographic shifts as a result of HIV/AIDS and an increasingly feminized labor ma…
Fragility, fluidity, and resilience
HIV and AIDS have impacted on social relations in many ways, eroding personal networks, contributing to household poverty, and rupturing intimate relations. With the continuing transmission of HIV particularly in resource-poor settings, families and others must find new ways to care for those who are living with HIV, for those who are ill and need increased levels of personal and medical care, and for orphaned children. These needs occur concurre…
Paternity matters
In this article we discuss the role that fathers and paternal families play in acknowledging and caring for children born outside of a recognised union in two southern African communities – Nyanga East, South Africa and Mokhotlong, Lesotho. While these communities are geographically and culturally close, there are important differences in the responses to the care of children born outside of a recognised union. In Nyanga East, despite not paying …
Relatedness and care in Southern Africa and beyond
Kinship fulfils many functions; caregiving is one. The willingness to care flows, in part, from the quality of affective relationships inherent in most networks of kin, whether affinal, consanguina
The Aids House
HIV/AIDS has brought the connections between care and relatedness into sharp relief. In the midst of social change driven largely by the AIDS epidemic, the house has emerged as the most stable element connecting kin in Lesotho. Houses provide spaces that frame human actions, transform relationships, and reflect the social order. The house is a key crossroads for human movement. It is also the site where physical connections, emotional bonds, and …
Flexible kinship
HIV/AIDShas devastated families in ruralLesotho, leaving many children orphaned. Families have adapted to the increase in the number of orphans andHIV-positive children in ways that provide children with the best possible care. Though local ideas about kinship and care are firmly rooted in patrilineal social organization, in practice, maternal caregivers, often grandmothers, are increasingly caring for orphaned children. Negotiations between affi…

This paper illustrates the comprehension-monitoring process used by first and second language readers of English as they read expository prose. The think-aloud protocols of 25 college freshmen were collected. Sixteen (8 L1 and 8 L2 readers) were classified as proficient, 9 as nonproficient (3 L1 and 6 L2 readers). The monitoring process is discussed with respect to two specific problems: one involving a search for a referent, the other, a vocabul…
The Comprehension Strategies of Second Language Readers
Think-aloud protocols, a version of verbal report in which participants state their thoughts and behaviors, have become increasingly popular as a means of studying the comprehension processes of native English speakers. The study reported in this article used think-alouds to examine the comprehension strategies used by college-level students-both native speakers of English and nonnative speakers--enrolled in remedial reading classes as they read …
