Nature-centric housing
The UK Government plans to enable construction of 1.5 million homes in the next five years in one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, enabled by a Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Ministers assert this will be a ‘win-win’ for housing and nature, but major wildlife organisations reject this claim based on the prospect of weaker nature protections. To test if better ‘win-wins’ were available, we held a workshop in June 2025 with ac…
Catalysing transformational change through compound nature connectedness interventions
Political, economic and technological interventions are struggling to address the polycrisis at the necessary scale and pace. Increasing nature connectedness can make a critical contribution: there is abundant evidence that higher levels of nature connectedness are not only good for health and happiness, but also correlate with a greater commitment to pro-environmental behaviours. The early progress in the scientific study of nature connectedness…
Anglicanism and Liturgy, a Network Approach to the International Anglican Liturgical Consultation
The Anglican Communion is founded on the idea of provincial autonomy including in terms of liturgy. While there has been much liturgical revision there is still an Anglican resemblance. One of the cohesive forces has been the International Anglican Liturgical Consultation, IALC, which has now been meeting for almost fifty years. This article looks at the operation of the IALC using network and visualization theory, a growing approach to Anglican …

Evidence produced by qualitative investigations on type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes has a major impact on patients lives and the healthcare network. Given the growth in qualitative information on diabetes, it becomes important to systematize this knowledge. A meta-study on diabetes was conducted through analysis on 42 articles that were made in journals at the periodicals portal of the Coordination Office for Advancement of Higher-level Personnel (Capes). We found that the studies reviewed had a good theoretical …
Medicinas Alternativas e Complementares
O aumento do uso de Medicinas Alternativas e Complementares (MAC) motivou o crescimento do número de estudos qualitativos sobre o tema, justificando a realização de sínteses sobre esse material. Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática de pesquisas qualitativas sobre MAC publicadas em periódicos internacionais. Esta revisão se orientou pela metodologia dos metaestudos. Foi realizada busca em revistas do Portal Periódicos da Coordenação de Ap…

The role of gender, environment and Individual biography in shaping qualitative interview data
Reflexivity is a key aspect of qualitative research. Considerable attention has been given to the ways in which gender mediates the production and analysis of qualitative data; however, much of this has been focused on qualitative interviews with women and the influence of the interviewer’s gender in this specific context. Very little work has been done on comparing different interviewer–interviewee contexts such as male‐to‐female, male‐to‐male o…
Exploring the Temporal Dimension in Cancer Patients' Experiences of Nonbiomedical Therapeutics
To date, research on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use by cancer patients has tended to provide a "snapshot" of experience, with little attention given to the evolution of experience over time. Drawing on data from solicited diaries, this article examines individual cancer patients' temporal experiences of CAM. Our findings suggest that experiences of CAM are variable over time and space, and furthermore, that the everyday act of "…
The role of the Internet in cancer patients' engagement with complementary and alternative treatments
This article draws on a study of 80 National Health Service cancer patients and their experiences of using the Internet within disease and treatment processes. It focuses on the role the Internet plays in the context of potential or actual engagement with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The results depart from previous conceptualizations of the Internet as a major source of CAM knowledge, and second, as a major pathway to patient CA…
The problematic nature of conflating use and advocacy in CAM integration
The integration of complementary and alternative medicine into cancer care is widely debated. Advocates of integration frequently cite the popularity of such therapies amongst patients in support of their case. However, little specific empirical attention has been given to how integration is actually regarded by these patients. Based on semi structured interviews with 80 cancer patients in the UK, this article examines the assumption of a link be…
Inter-Professional Conflict and Strategic Alliance Between Traditional Healers and Oncologists in Pakistan
There are increasing calls from global health organisations for the promotion of traditional medicines (TM) as one method of addressing the health needs of populations in poorer countries. However, little research has been done to explore the interactions (and potential conflicts between) traditional healthcare systems and biomedical services. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 46 cancer patients in Lahore, Pakistan, this article examines…
Cancer Patients' Negotiation of Therapeutic Options in Pakistan
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Pakistan. There is increasing evidence that patients are using a range of (biomedical and nonbiomedical) therapeutic options for cancer treatment. To date there has been no sociologically informed research into the engagement of cancer patients in Pakistan with available modalities. In this article, the authors present findings from the first such study. They purposively sampled 46 cancer patients fr…
Oncologists' and specialist cancer nurses' approaches to complementary and alternative medicine and their impact on patient action
The Dialectical Tension Between Individuation and Depersonalization in Cancer Patients' Mediation of Complementary, Alternative and Biomedical Cancer Treatments
Drawing on in-depth interviews with cancer patients, this article examines patients' perspectives on the nature of evidence and the degree to which different understandings of evidence inform decision-making about complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and biomedical cancer treatments. Results illustrate the ways in which many cancer patients critically engage with questions about the nature of knowledge and the potential pitfalls of scienc…
Therapeutic pluralism? Evidence, power and legitimacy in UK cancer services
The integration of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) into cancer services is increasingly discussed as a potential part of UK health policy but as yet there has been little sociological research examining this process. This paper examines the results of a study on the provision of CAM to cancer patients in two distinct organisational contexts: the hospice and the hospital. It is based on interviews with medical specialists, nursing sta…
Comment on
Debate on the paper by Nelson Filice de Barros & Everardo Duarte Nunes
This is a theoretical article concerning the conceptualization of non-biomedical practices in Brazil. While the sociological study of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is well developed elsewhere in the world, most notably in the United Kingdom and Australia, the authors are amongst the first to be addressing how the global expansion in the use of these therapeutic options is impinging on Latin America. The article is interesting and i…
Nostalgic and nostophobic referencing and the authentication of nurses' use of complementary therapies
Citizens' participation in primary healthcare planning
The British National Health Service has been the focus of sustained political rhetoric in favour of greater public and patient involvement in decision making. The creation of Primary Care Groups--organizations based on local groups of general practitioners--has thus been accompanied by a requirement that they involve users and the public. This article reports on a study of Primary Care Groups (n = 167) to address two questions. First, how have th…
The individual and primary care
Many health policy interventions reflect implicit assumptions of cause and effect, contestable values and partial rationales - particularly in healthcare systems based on notions of entitlement and obligation. The objective-oriented nature of policies and the potential cacophony of narratives that underpin such interventions are not, though, explicable solely in terms of the achievement of particular ends envisaged by different policy actors. The…

Pupil Identity and Differentiation in British Public Schools
A considerable amount of social research has addressed the issue of ‘working class’ pupil sub‐cultures. This paper shifts the focus to consider the nature and significance of patterns of differentiation within contemporary public schools. The analysis draws on the life‐histories of a number of people who attended a range of public schools in the 1980s. A context specific understanding of the concept ‘sub‐culture’ is shown to provide a means of re…
