Shaken Identities, Reserve Masculine Capital, and the Lived Experiences of Aging Men with Breast Cancer
This study explores how aging men's breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent mastectomy affect their masculine subjectivities and practices. Interviews with seventeen men (mean age 62.8) in the U.S. revealed experiences of body-self disruption and identity dilemmas. The men's identities were shaken by the diagnosis and mastectomy, leading to adjustments in their masculine expressions. Three case studies exemplify the varied experiences with non-nor…

Navigating the new, transplanted self
The physiological risks of organ transplantation are well documented, but more poorly understood are the sociological ways in which organ recipients redefine themselves in reaction to physiological risks and social changes accompanying transplantation. This article analyses transplantation as a procedure that is not only physiologically risky but also poses risk to the social identity of the recipient, and explores how transplant recipients cogni…

Faith and Forgetfulness
Since research on religion has historically employed a psychological framework of coping, sociocultural influences on illness identities are not well understood. This article explores the role of religion/spirituality in a diverse sample of seniors dealing with Alzheimer's. Interviews with 75 affected elders reveal that faith can promote “strength and hope,” “never feeling alone,” “remembering,” “keeping a positive attitude,” “contentment,” and “…
Don’t Be Trying to Box Folks In”
Youth-centeredness presents a “deficit model” of aging and stigmatizes elders. Social constructions reduce the aging process to illness and asexuality. Western conflations of beauty and youth render older adult sexuality disgusting and/or abnormal. Grounded theory methods utilized to interview older women ( N = 20) about love, intimacy, and sexuality reveal more complex and heterogeneous narratives than we are socialized to believe. While importa…
Making sense of nonsense
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a stigmatised condition popularly assumed to be a death sentence for diagnosed individuals. Consequently, people with AD are often deemed incapable (and perhaps unworthy) of contributing to the social discourse surrounding their illness experience. Data from qualitative interviews with 18 people diagnosed with the potential precursor of AD known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are examined. Using grounded theory met…
Social policy and the internal dynamics of the senior rights movement
Managing disability and enjoying life
Resisting social disenfranchisement
Trust and Memory
In their voices
Advocating voice
The Alzheimer's disease movement, despite the stated willingness of the Alzheimer's Association, has yet to comprehensively utilise people with Alzheimer's as spokespersons. This is particularly noteworthy given the increasing availability of those with Alzheimer's who, especially in the early stages, are fully capable of advocating their position. Qualitative interviews and focus groups with people who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's demons…
