Ill Fates and Heroic Feats
Far more than an individual endeavor, work is a collective enterprise, an ethic, in which individuals participate to fulfill needs of their surrounding social world. Specifically, sport professionals undergo strenuous physical labor to compete and garner public admiration. Yet, when chronic illness interferes with their performances, how are athletes expected to respond? Through a thematic analysis of newspaper discourses covering professional go…

Probing Mental Health Invisibilities during a Global Pandemic
With much attention devoted to physical health, what unseen consequences are emerging for mental health throughout the COVID-19 pandemic? The worldly disruption of COVID-19 casts rippling effects that penetrate the bodies and spirits of people experiencing this historical moment. Many of these ripples are subtle and difficult to trace.

In this article, the author depicts various perspectives she witnessed as her family dealt with multiple ambiguities surrounding her brother's accident. The…
Risk in the Making
Narrative plays a prominent role in interpretations and explanations of social reality, particularly in our efforts to understand uncertainties in time, such as social constructions of risk. This article synthesizes narrative and problematic integration theory as a way to illuminate the construction of risk. We argue that the very existence of risks in our lives is constituted and signified through storied explanations, expectations, and evaluati…
