‘They treat us like machines’
BACKGROUND: The exploitation of migrant workers ranks high on global political agendas including the Sustainable Development Goals. Research on exploited workers, using assessment tools where exploitation is defined by professional experts, indicates serious health concerns and needs. Yet, migrant workers are rarely asked about their understanding of a phenomenon they may experience. Our study aimed to conceptualise 'labour exploitation' from the…
We should be at the table together from the beginning”
Insights from stakeholders in four sub-Saharan African research institutions suggest that contemporary global health research partnerships generate considerable benefits but continue to exhibit longstanding inequities and reveal emerging tensions. Our findings suggest that long-term support targeted towards institutions and national research systems remains essential to fulfil the potential of research led from sub-Saharan Africa. High-income cou…
What makes working together work? A scoping review of the guidance on North–South research partnerships
At their best, research partnerships provide a mechanism to optimize each partner’s strengths, make scientific discoveries and achieve development goals. Each partner stands to gain from the relationship and perceives it to be fair. However, partnerships between institutions in the global North and the global South have been beleaguered by structural inequalities and power imbalances, and Northern stakeholders have been criticized for perpetuatin…
The recovery experience of people who were sex trafficked

This article describes how service users in this programme conceptualized and experienced their own process of recovery. METHODS: In 2012, 14 people of non-Dutch nationality who had been trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation were interviewed at all three shelters of the programme. Data analysis follo…

Sex Education as Disciplinary Technique
The education of young people about `sex' remains a contentious area. It is suggested that this is because of the socially symbolic nature of sex and the necessary policing of the boundaries of heterosexuality. It is argued that sex education is a technique of governance. Forms of Sex Education are considered in relation to legislation over the last two decades and two models of sex education are proposed, that of `restricted information' and of …
Mouthrules and the Construction of Sexual Identities
The current work on the sociology of the body has shown it to be a key site of both the production of meaning and of regulation. There has however been little attention given to particular `body parts'. The research presented here suggests that mouths are particularly symbolic and that our oral hygiene habits are not just disciplinary techniques, but are one way in which our particular sexual and gender identities are constituted. This article, d…

The Politics of the Welfare State (Book)
Private medicine
This paper looks at the issue of private health care from the perspective of black (Afro-Caribbean) women in Britain. The research on which it is based (Thorogood 1988) indicates that these women have a particular relationship to health care, one aspect of which is their use of private consultations with General Practitioners. This is, I suggest, a consequence of their historical and contemporary experiences
No sex please, we're British
Afro-Caribbean women's experience of the health service
This article aims to explore how Afro‐Caribbean women's experiences and perceptions of the NHS can be elucidated by their race, class and gender position. Their relationship to GPs and their experience as hospital in‐patients are considered. Also discussed is how they feel the NHS fails to meet their needs and how lack of resources is held to play a crucial role in this. Finally, the article examines their consumer‐oriented approach to the NHS an…
Prescribed Drug Use and the Management of Everyday Life
Social scientific studies of prescribed drug use have played an important part in heightening awareness that their use can best be understood when considered within a social context. From a sociological point of view, however, these studies often suffer from limitations which restrict their descriptive and explanatory power. This paper discusses these limitations before attempting to develop an alternative approach which focuses on the meanings a…
