Gender inequity in leadership and management roles within the higher education sector remains a widespread problem. Researchers have suggested that a multi-pronged method is the preferred approach to reach and maintain gender equity over time. A large university faculty undertook an audit to gauge the level of gender equity on the senior decision-making committees. As a result, a gender equity initiative was launched throughout the faculty. Gende…
‘A lot of the things we do … people wouldn’t recognise as health promotion’
Health promotion is informed by epidemiology, requires engagement with socially situated subjects and can involve diverging emphases. For some practitioners, health promotion is a specialised set of activities and technical knowledge for disseminating health information. For others, it advances broad-based and interlinked goals of socio-economic and health equality through processes of community engagement and participation. These diverging appro…

Gender, Class, and the Art and Craft of Social Capital
Social capital is generally recognized as the positive outcome of sociability and social connection and, more specifically, as the capacity to realize economic benefits through social connections. Limited attention has been paid to understanding the potential of social capital at the intersection of socioeconomic disadvantage. The first part of the article examines assumptions of class and gender in the theoretical literature on social capital. T…
“It was fun… but we don’t usually talk about these things”
Focus groups are a useful method for sociological research because the sociable interaction that is generated can yield rich insight into people’s life worlds. This is because the nature of the talk that is generated in focus groups is a mixture of personal beliefs and available collective narratives that are further flavored by the local circumstances of participants’ lives. The interactions between participantsin focus group discussions charact…
Social networks in a 'discredited' neighbourhood
Neighbourhoods are vulnerable to being stigmatized with implications for residents' social networks, experiences of social connectedness, and opportunities for developing or accessing social capital. Goffman defined stigma as a discrediting attribute that impairs social acceptability. Poverty can be considered a discrediting attribute and stigma is experienced through negative labelling and stereotyping of the poor. Using qualitative data collect…
Stories in the Flesh and Voices in the Head
In this article, the author reflects on her involvement in qualitative health among disadvantaged and disenfranchised groups whose life experiences are, for the most part, very different from her own. Despite the differences, she is persuaded that it is possible to have an empathetic understanding of other people's experiences through research. Recalling experiences from her own research encounters, she shows the ways in which these encounters as…
The importance of love and understanding
Difficult Relations
Female sex workers in Western societies report high rates of condom use with clients. However, their continuing low rates of condom use with private partners place some sex workers at increased risk of STDs and HIV. While researchers have focused on the health risks for female sex workers in their private relationships, from the point of view of the women involved, these relationships are a site of more complex struggles. This paper reports findi…
