Revisiting Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood
Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood
In this important study of the abortion controversy in the United States, Kristin Luker examines the issues, people, and beliefs on both sides of the abortion conflict. She draws data from twenty years of public documents and newspaper accounts, as well as over two hundred interviews with both pro-life and pro-choice activists. She argues that moral positions on abortion are intimately tied to views on sexual behavior, the care of children, famil…

Referral and management options for patients with chronic kidney disease
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is increasing in prevalence and significance as a global public health issue. Appropriate management of CKD stages 3-4 in either generalist or specialist care is essential in order to slow disease progression. As various consulting options between services may be used, it is important to understand how patients and practitioners view these options. OBJECTIVE: To elicit patient and practitioner views and pr…
Reproductive Justice
The authors examine the development of reproductive rights, a law-focused movement, and reproductive justice, a social justice–aimed movement that emphasizes intersecting social identities (e.g., gender, race, and class) and community-developed solutions to structural inequalities. In examining the intertwining histories of the reproductive health, reproductive rights, and reproductive justice movements, we consider the relationship between law a…

At home in hospital? Interaction and stigma in people affected by cancer
Getting a visit
This paper examines the ways in which district nurses and general practitioners interacted and influenced each other's work within primary care services. The data presented here examine how the developments in the organisation of primary care affected the work of district nurses during a time of turbulent change. Qualitative data from 300 hours of participant observation and 40 semi-structured interviews with 33 district nurses were analysed usin…

A qualitative exploration of treatment decision‐making role preference in adult asthma patients
Objectives To explore preferred treatment decision‐making roles, and rationales for role preference, and to identify perceived facilitators to and barriers from attaining preferred role. Design Qualitative design. Setting and Participants One secondary care and four primary care sites in North‐west England. Purposive sample of 32 adult asthma patients with varied socio‐economic backgrounds and disease severity. Methods Tape‐recorded focused‐conve…
A Reminder that Human Behavior Frequently Refuses to Conform to Models Created by Researchers
This is a comment on the models created by researchers concerning contraceptive failure and unintended pregnancy. Human behavior refuses to conform to the models due to the occurrence of some unusual events. Thus, the models should be used with caution. Both unintended pregnancies and contraceptive failures are more complex than they appear at first glance. Part of the problem resides in the history of the instrument used to measure unintended pr…
Decision‐making role preferences and information needs
Objective An exploratory study has been carried out to examine decision‐making role preferences and information needs for a sample of people with colorectal cancer ( n =48). The work replicated a larger study carried out for women with breast cancer ( n =150), and this paper compares and contrasts findings for both disease groups. Design A cross‐sectional design was employed, involving structured interviews. The main variables investigated were d…
Is Academic Sociology Politically Obsolete
KRISTIN LUKER University of California, Berkeley Some Implications of my Experiences First, before launching an effort to get the attention of the mass media, give some intensive thought to whether media attention is worthwhile. Clearly, if your research deals with, say, the detrimental effects of children's excessive viewing of television, perhaps you should be concerned to get that message out to parents. Reaching parents through newspapers, po…

Dubious conceptions
As her little boy plays at a day care center across the street, Michelle, an unmarried teenager, is in algebra class, hoping to be the first member of her family to graduate from high school. Will motherhood make this young woman poorer? Will it make the United States poorer as a nation? Would it surprise you to learn that Michelle is more likely to be white than African American? That she is most likely eighteen or nineteen - a legal adult? That…

Contraceptive Risk Taking and Abortion
In this paper we describe the design of Memento: an interactive sound locket for individual reminiscence that triggers a similar sense of intimacy and values as its non-technological predecessor. Jewellery often forms a cue for autobiographical memory. In this work we investigate the role that interactive technologies could play in this relationship. We first explore the way in which people record sound fragments and we present related work in th…
