Cancer‐Related Beliefs and Perceptions in Appalachia
Background : Appalachians experience increased rates of cancer incidence and mortality compared to non‐Appalachians. Many factors may contribute to the elevated cancer burden, including lack of knowledge and negative beliefs about the disease.

Accountability for Cancer Care through Undoing Racism and Equity is a multi-component, community-based participatory research intervention to reduce Black-White cance…

We used an ethnographic approach that emphasises participant-observation and qualitative interviewing. Analysis …

Debating Markets”
This is a rhetorical analysis of the edited transcript “Debating Markets.” The aim of the analysis is to suggest the value of rhetorical methodology to the feminist project of re-envisioning economic theory, discourse, and disciplinary relations. The analysis considers what the text reveals about the barriers to the effective production of economic knowledge from a feminist perspective and why these are important to understand and address. The co…
