Critical discourse analysis of the interview texts with 11 AIDS care professionals identified three prevailing discourses on childbearing by couples with HIV/AIDS: pro-children, conditional pro-choice and pro-rights. The pro-children and condit…
Female Sexuality in Thai Discourses about Maechii (‘lay nuns’)
By examining competing discourses about women who are maechii (or 'lay nuns') in Buddhist Thai society, this paper demonstrates that, although maechii vow to be celibate, social constructions of their role are grounded in sexuality.

The analysis is supplemented with field observations and intervie…

From Women in White to Scholarship: The New Nurse Leaders in Thailand
The nature of nursing in Thailand has changed dramatically since World War II.
