Bullying, misogyny and feminist whistleblowing
Lesbianism
Lesbianism can be understood as same‐sex attraction, love, or romantic desire between women. Lesbianism emerged as a visible social phenomenon in the mid‐twentieth century. Since that time, understanding of the concept has developed exponentially from defining the practice of lesbianism on an individual level as a pathology or deviance to seeing lesbianism on a cultural level as an expression of social difference among gendered, sexed, desiring s…
Feminist Autoethnography, Gender, and Drug Use
This article explores autoethnography as one way of doing feminist research in the drugs field. By telling my story during my 40 years experience as a feminist researcher in the drugs field, I aim to help those practicing critical drug scholarship to become familiar with this methodology as a viable way of employing a gender analysis, an employment that is the focus of this special issue. This paper is divided into five related discussions. First…
Autoethnography as Feminist Method
Autoethnography is an ideal method to study the ‘feminist I’. Through personal stories, the author reflects on how feminists negotiate agency and the effect this has on one's political sensibilities. Speaking about oneself transforms into stories of political responsibility - a key issue for feminists who function as cultural mediators

Nuns, Dykes, Drugs and Gendered Bodies
This article provides an autoethnographic account of my personal journey through ‘good time’ sociology. Telling my story involves recounting my experience as a Catholic nun and closeted lesbian in 1970s’ USA; providing a picture of what it was like to do the first PhD on lesbians in the UK; explaining the impact of drugs and alcohol research on my lesbian feminist sociological imagination and reflecting upon the place of ‘deviant bodies’ in the n…
Prenatal Genetic Technologies and the Social Control of Pregnant Women
This article provides a review of literature of articles and texts on prenatal genetic technologies and is limited specifically to research that focuses on the intersection between the dynamics of prenatal screening; the regulation of family life and reproduction; the issues of disabilities, risk, and shame; embodied affect; and contemporary molecular medicine. Three themes emerge from the literature: the fact that these technologies have a trans…
The Body in Culture, Technology & Society ‐ by Shilling, C
Shilling, C. The Body in Culture, Technology & Society . London : Sage Publications , 2005 , + 247pp . (pbk) ISBN: 0-7619-7124-6 For any colleague wanting to have a clear idea of how studies of the body can be empirically grounded as well as theoretically ‘rich’, Chris Shilling's The Body in Culture, Technology and Society, is the book to read. To my mind it offers the best account thus far of not only how social action is embodied and must be re…

Decision-making, uncertainty and risk
The concept of the ‘risk society’ has focused on growing uncertainties about the benefits of scientific innovation and the reliability of professional judgement. Paradoxically, this has gone hand in hand with reductions in the actual risk associated with many activities and is often accompanied by demands for a technological fix. These contradictory impulses are especially evident in maternity care. While maternal and infant mortality rates have …

A critical look at the new genetics
Shaped by an understanding of the impact of biotechnology on medical practice, this paper highlights some of the key issues that become visible in a critical analysis of the relationship between reproduction and genetics. The term 'reproductive genetics' is used sociologically and defined as the utilization of DNA-based technologies in the medical supervision of the reproductive process. Based on an empirical study of European experts, the paper …
Exploring Lesbian Archetypes or Reviving ‘Drooping Wings’
The purpose of this paper is to analyze a series of feminist archetypes and expand this analysis to concentrate on lesbian interpretations of these archetypes. The related notions, spiritualities and myths are defined in order to contextualize feminist archtypes. It is contended that there is a difference between traditional, female archetypes and feminist ones. Four feminist archetypes which are relevant for lesbians are examined: Salamander, Dr…
Recognizing Diversity and Group Processes in International, Collaborative Research Work
The myth that most if not all senior researchers who have national prominence can ‘successfully’ manage international research is alive and well in the academy today. Many researchers believe that research management and consultancy is acquired through a process of trial and error and demands little contemplation or training. The purpose of this paper is to break these myths and to establish various benchmarks for good research management, partic…
Reproductive Genetics, Gender and the Body
This paper's purpose is to highlight key sociological issues, that come to light when `the body' becomes a theoretical site in reproductive genetics. By positioning the body as a central feature in this analysis, the paper: (1) describes how a mechanistic view of the body continues to be privileged in this discourse and the effects of this view; (2) examines how reproductive limits are practised on the gendered body through a feminised regime of …
Experts as 'storytellers' in reproductive genetics
The paper reports findings from a European study on experts' perceptions of reproductive genetics, and explores the notion of experts as 'genetic story tellers' and producers of genetic ideology. The first part provides experts' accounts of families who are perceived as being in need of prenatal genetic screening. Here, I reflect on the types of claims experts construct as well as on the impact of these claims. The second part is a theoretical el…
Gendered Moods
Tranquillisers are prescribed to almost twice as many women as men, yet very little gender-based research has been carried out on the social context of their use. Gendered Moods offers the first feminist analysis of the gendered character of psychotropic drug use, based on studies of long-term psychotropic drug users and the content of drug advertising. The authors argue that gender differences in psychotropic drug use are manifestations of the g…

Psychotropics, sociology and women
The purpose of this paper is to lay the foundation for the development of a gender-sensitive perspective on psychotropic drug use. This paper reviews existing research on psychotropic drug use and highlights gender biases in three ways. First, a review of the early work on gender differences in tranquilliser use reveals how 'one-dimensional' accounts are offered by proponents who are either 'no-objections', 'cautious-no- answer', 'women's-role' o…
