Planning for a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy
As opioid fatalities rise in North America, the need to improve the supports available to those who are dependent on opioids and pregnant has become more urgent. This paper discusses the social organisation of drug treatment supports for those who are pregnant, using Canadian clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) as a case study. Pregnant patients are a priority population for MMT, both in Canada and intern…
Working up a lather
Hand hygiene is a long-standing concern in the health sciences literature, but its emergence as a public health issue in the news is a more recent development. Drawing on Alan Hunt’s work on moral regulation and responsibilization, this article analyses 30 years of Canadian newspaper coverage of hand hygiene. Concerns associated with hand hygiene and trends in coverage were identified in a sample of 518 articles, published between 1986 and 2015. …
In Praise of Value‐Interrogating Sociology
Learning disabled students and access to accommodations
In the 1990s, Canadian universities began implementing policies to accommodate learning disabled students. While such policies appear to make post-secondary education more accessible, students must manage considerable complexity and absorb social and financial costs to receive accommodations. Through interviews with learning disabled students, this research explores the effects of socio-economic status (SES) on how, or whether, students access ac…
Tony Hugh, Faces Inside and Outside the Clinic
A lthough critical, social science and humanities analyses of cosmetic surgery date back at least 25 years, there appears to be a bit of a revival in the field these days.Recent books include Bernadette Wegenstein's The Cosmetic Gaze: Body Modification and the Construction of Beauty (2012), Jane Megan Northrup's Reflecting on Cosmetic Surgery: Body image, Shame and Narcissism (2014), Debra Gimlin's Cosmetic Surgery Narratives: A Cross-cultural An…
The OxyContin crisis
Negotiating science and experience in medical knowledge
No one agrees except for those of us who have it
This paper contributes to the literature on patients' claims-making work by analysing the epistemological strategies and standards used by members of an endometriosis patient community. It draws upon focus group research with members of a support group for endometriosis sufferers, and an open-ended survey of an e-mail list for women with the disease. Lynn Hankinson Nelson's (1993) concept of epistemological community is used to examine standards …
The Fibromyalgia Story
Feminism in Twentieth-Century Science, Technology, and Medicine
What useful changes has feminism brought to science? Feminists have enjoyed success in their efforts to open many fields to women as participants. But the effects of feminism have not been restricted to altering employment and professional opportunities for women. The essays in this volume explore how feminist theory has had a direct impact on research in the biological and social sciences, in medicine, and in technology, often providing the impe…
Putting Pain to Paper
Although the elusive and subjective nature of pain has been examined in compelling ways in health studies, the implications for systems of pain documentation and measurement remain relatively unexplored. Two systems for the documentation of pain symptoms in women with endometriosis are examined, one developed by a gynaecological association and the other by a woman with the disease. All pain documentation systems must contend with a fundamental p…
Politics by Other Means
This paper explores the fraught relationship between feminist and mainstream science and technology studies (STS). The diverse contributions of feminist and mainstream authors, particularly actor-network theorists, are outlined. It is argued these two fields share many common themes, but that, while feminists have begun to integrate the insights of mainstream STS into their work, mainstream STS continues to treat feminist work and issues of inequ…
