What can we learn from listening to men?”
The integration of the cancer experience into identity
The study explored how young adults with cancer create a cancer identity across the illness trajectory. Young adults with hematological cancers ( n = 53, ages 20-39) completed a semi-structured interview and brief questionnaire. Deductive thematic analysis was used to code interviews. Four identity categories (Acceptance, Enrichment, Engulfment, and Rejection) were coded and linked to the cancer stage (pre-treatment, active treatment, post-treatm…
“Not that it makes you less of a mother, but …”
In the United States, pregnant people considering a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC) face this decision in a highly contested environment where VBAC is simultaneously encouraged—situated within discourses promoting vaginal birth—and discouraged through discourses emphasizing reproductive risk. Woven through these competing discourses is a shared emphasis on maternal responsibility, reflective of a socially constructed belief that birt…
The health and wellbeing of transgender and gender non‐conforming people of colour in the United States
Transgender and gender non‐conforming people (TGNC), individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth, experience unique stressors, discrimination, and barriers to health and wellbeing. TGNC People of Colour (POC) navigate the nexus of racism, cisgenderism (and often homophobia) in their daily lives, resulting in uniquely intersecting forms of discrimination, and pronounced disparities in their health and well‐be…
Women and Cancer
Contextualizing African American and Latina Women's Postmastectomy Social Support Experiences
Beyond offering social support, cancer support groups can redefine notions of survivorship among group members. This qualitative, interview-based study explored these processes among Latina (n = 20) and African American (n = 27) participants who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer. Although we initially focused on support group use, we found that experiences in groups were interdependent with participants’ greater social contexts. These contex…
Does That Make Me A Woman?”
Feminist scholars and activists writing about breast cancer care among women have highlighted the sexist and heterosexist assumptions often embedded in the medical management of breast cancer, and of mastectomy in particular. Despite these contributions, and some speculation that sexual minority women may be less interested in breast reconstruction, limited research explores sexual minority women’s lived experience of mastectomy and decision maki…
Self-Objectification and Pregnancy
Exploring Feminist Women's Body Consciousness
In a qualitative investigation of young feminists' experience of body consciousness, 25 feminist women each participated in one of 6 focus groups examining the ways they experienced body image and negotiated cultural messages about women's appearance. Participants described their experience with objectification and its impact on their body image, sense of self, and relationships with other women. Although feminism provided an alternative way to u…

Preferential Education Policies for the Handicapped
Ethnicity-specific differences in body aesthetic ideals and body satisfaction have been cited as a potential explanation for interethnic differences in the prevalence and presentation of eating disorders. It has been widely hypothesized that such ethnically based differences in aesthetic body ideals mitigate cultural pressures that contribute to body disparagement and disordered eating among white women. However, mechanisms by which a cultural mi…
