From Menarche to Menopause
This study aims to understand tri-generational familial communication patterns among grandmothers, mothers, and granddaughters experiencing reproductive health transitions from menarche to menopause within the Latine community. Using the managing meanings of embodied experiences (MMEE) theory as both a methodological and theoretical framework, we examined and thematized familial communication patterns influenced by embodied, cultural, biomedical,…
(Re)claiming Stories in the #MeToo Movement
Sexual violence is a major public health concern, and healthcare providers are in a unique position to offer care and support for survivors. Our study analyzes survivors' stories of sexual violence posted on Twitter in the #MeToo movement between November 29 and December 25, 2017. In analyzing communicative traces that lie within digital data, we read survivors' stories for emotional expressions that create practice. Three themes, informed by sur…
Difficult dialogues about death
Understandings of risk permeate end-of-life (EOL) care contexts. In addition to the risk of bodily death, patients, family and healthcare providers face spiritual and communication risks during EOL care. The Western biomedical healthcare model is an objectivist, curative framework focusing on fixing the body; this cultural notion limits communication regarding physical illness. Existing work argues that Americans’ reticence to discuss EOL can be …
Reflexive embodied ethnography with applied sensibilities
In this article, I illustrate reflexive embodied ethnography with applied sensibilities as an approach for performing, interpreting, and applying qualitative research. I argue that we enter the field as embodied beings hoping to find significant insights with the potential to connect with other persons' lived experiences, which in my work involves searching for answers to health conditions. Reflexive embodied ethnography: a) recognizes that each …
When it’s good to be a bad nurse
Discourses about health risks can have major implications for individuals and cultures. In this article, we use risk orders theory to examine nurses’ perceptions of patient safety risk in Obstetrics departments of US hospitals. According to risk orders theory, risk discourses can create social worlds that have the capacity to threaten individuals’ social bonds, identity and moral character, and the imaginative potential of entire cultures. Risk o…
Embodying imperfect unity
In March 2003, a contemporary version of the Greek play Lysistrata was performed on over 1000 stages across the globe to protest the war in Iraq. This article analyzes the synchronized performances of Lysistrata in order to question the role of the lived body in social activism. The lived body, as conceptualized by Young (2005), considers the power and constraint we experience as the material facts of our bodies – skeleton and organs, ligaments a…
