  • A Match Made in Heaven: Entrepreneurship Among Evangelical Immigrants in the UK

    Open AccessD A ClarkARTICLEReligions2025References: 19

    Evangelical immigrants from the Global South have a high degree of confidence in their own ability to start a business in the UK, and they report a significant amount of entrepreneurial engagement within their communities. This article explores how these Christians developed their skills and dispositions, how they are launching businesses in the UK, and-most importantly-how the action of God can be perceived through their experiences. The author …

  • Gospel, Liberation and Pluralism in Latin America

    Open AccessD A ClarkARTICLETransformation An International…2024Cited by: 1

    Seeing the world through the eyes of the marginalised has been a consistent theme in modern Latin American theology. When Latin American Liberation Theology first emerged, evangelical theologian René Padilla expressed a shared concern over the problem of poverty, but also warned that certain elements therein clashed with evangelical hermeneutics. Consequently, he called for a circular approach that would maintain a tension between the crisis of t…

  • Medicalisation, suffering and control at the end of life: The interplay of deep continuous palliative sedation and assisted dying

    Open AccessGitte H Koksvik, Naomi Richards et al.ARTICLEHealth An Interdisciplinary…2022Cited by: 3References: 54

    Medicalisation is a pervasive feature of contemporary end of life and dying in Western Europe and North America. In this article, we focus on the relationship between two specific aspects of the medicalisation of dying: deep continuous palliative sedation until death and assisted dying. We draw upon a qualitative interview study with 29 health professionals from three jurisdictions where assisted dying is lawful: Flanders, Belgium; Oregon, USA; a…

  • Representations of palliative care, euthanasia and assisted dying within advocacy declarations

    Open AccessHamilton Inbadas, José Miguel Carrasco et al.ARTICLEMortality2020

    It is well known that there are disagreements between the proponents of palliative care and of euthanasia or assisted dying, often with little common ground,shaping the end of life discourse internationally. Advocacy documents or 'declarations'constitute a significant feature of this discourse. The aim of this study was to explore the content of such declarations and to focus on what they can tell us about palliative care and assisted dying and t…

  • Real‐time evaluation can inform global and regional efforts to improve breastfeeding policies and programmes

    Open AccessFrance Begin, Karin Lapping et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    The authors Michaud-Létourneau et al. have identified three main drivers that large initiatives should adopt to enhance their effectiveness in advocacy for policy change: (a) the use of an explicit advocacy approach, (b) the creation of a strategic group of actors, and (c) the realization of 15 critical tasks, more specifically related to implementation of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes (the Code) (Michaud-Létourne…

  • Declarations on euthanasia and assisted dying

    Open AccessHamilton Inbadas, Shahaduz Zaman et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2017Cited by: 5References: 1

    Declarations on end-of-life issues are advocacy interventions that seek to influence policy, raise awareness and call others to action. Despite increasing prominence, they have attracted little attention from researchers. This study tracks the emergence, content, and purpose of declarations concerned with assisted dying and euthanasia, in the global context. The authors identified 62 assisted dying/euthanasia declarations covering 1974-2016 and a…

  • Discourses of Masturbation: The (Non)solitary Pleasures of the (Medieval) Text

    Open AccessD A Clark, David ClarkARTICLEMen and Masculinities2017Cited by: 1References: 2

    As an aspect of medieval sodomy, masturbation is often ignored or dismissed by medievalists. Although its status within medieval discourse on sex and gender is multiple and contested, this article demonstrates that it does have a recurrent cluster of associations, and it offers an important perspective on medieval masculinities and male sexuality. Moreover, far from constituting a meaningless, solitary act in medieval literature, on the contrary,…

  • Use of the Amicus Curiae Brief in American Judicial Procedure in Comparative Perspective

    Open AccessD A Clark, David S ClarkARTICLERabels Zeitschrift für…2016

    The term amicus curiae in English means »friend of the court«. That, in itself, does not provide much guidance on what it is, how it is used, or what role it may serve in a particular judicial procedure. This article's title suggests it is associated with a court brief, and that is generally true today, but historically and even now occasionally, it may take the form of oral comment or argument. After briefly describing the history, development, …

  • The Medieval Peasant House — Towards a New Paradigm

    D A Clark, David D ClarkARTICLEVernacular Architecture2013Cited by: 1References: 2

    The medieval peasant house has always featured strongly in vernacular architecture studies. This paper focuses on the buildings of those of lower social status, and their survival opens a window on a world of lifestyles that was at one time thought to be completely lost. A great deal of work has been done — on documentary sources, archaeological sites and standing buildings — which has shown that the life of the medieval peasant was lived in a de…

  • Unsolicited Written Narratives as a Methodological Genre in Terminal Illness: Challenges and Limitations

    Open AccessMary R O’brien, Mary O’brien et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2012Cited by: 11References: 39

    Stories about illness have proven invaluable in helping health professionals understand illness experiences. Such narratives have traditionally been solicited by researchers through interviews and the collection of personal writings, including diaries. These approaches are, however, researcher driven; the impetus for the creation of the story comes from the researcher and not the narrator. In recent years there has been exponential growth in illn…

    American comparatists are unfamiliar with thinking about Roman, civil, and canon law influence on colonial British American laws and legal institutions or about American colonial lawyers using Roman and civil law examples in their legal argument or reform efforts in a manner that today we would consider practical comparative law. This Article explores whether American comparative law really began prior to 1776 with early European settlers. The ai…

  • Experiencing Cancer in Old Age: A Qualitative Systematic Review

    Our purpose in this study was to find, report, and interpret the results of qualitative studies which investigated the experiences of older people living with cancer. We conducted systematic literature searches, identified and extracted the findings from 11 studies, and analyzed them systematically. We interpreted the findings to suggest that living with cancer in old age is to live in a perpetual state of ambiguity. The experience is characteriz…

    Following its remarkable success over the past 25 years the hospice movement is now at a watershed in its development. The growing legitimacy of palliative care as a health care specialty has coincided with the development of the internal market within public sector services, and the promotion of community care. The impact of these changes is now being felt by the hospice movement and may well result in radically new forms of service provision. T…

It forms part of a evaluation of the hospice by a multi-disciplinary research team guided by the methodological principles of formative, qualitative evaluation. Voluntary staff working at the Hospice contributed over 2000 h of unpaid labour in each calendar month. A conservative estimate places the potential cost of the free labour of …
