Evolution or erosion? Promissory discourses in ‘accelerated’ regulatory approval of health technologies
In recent years, regulatory processes governing the approval of new health technologies have undergone changes aimed at expediting access. Some of these changes involve the adaptation of established standards of evidence for safety and efficacy, which we refer to as evidence-adapted regulatory pathways (EARPs). While EARPs have provided more timely access to potentially beneficial interventions, critics argue that reducing evidentiary thresholds …
“Counting” Progress
Gender has traditionally been a key focus in efforts to address equity and diversity in orchestras and other musical settings. Since the mid-1990s, indicators and assessment of performance or achievement of gender equity have traditionally relied on quantitative methodologies that broadly “count” parity (and success) as when 50/50 employment between male and female musicians is achieved. Research and industry leaders have commonly pointed to such…
Making space
This article addresses the intersection of food pedagogies and disability. In particular, we consider what happens when unruly disabled bodies are centered and made space for in pedagogical approaches to food and cooking. We draw on data from a larger project in a community food space in Melbourne, Australia, involving ethnographic observation (160 hours over 9 months), participation, and qualitative interviews (n = 12). Using Carla Rice’s concep…
From apocalyptic dystopia to banal reality
In this article we arrest the concept of ‘power-seeking’ away from apocalyptic discourses about AI's future risks to humanity. Following Latour, we suggest that while non-human actors may ‘authorize, allow, afford, encourage...[etc.]’, they can also seek power . We explain how power-seeking as a potential non-human ‘program of action’– specifically, the pursuit of increasing abilities, or authority or control over other actors – facilitates analy…
Media reporting of cancel culture
Definitions of cancel culture are contested; its meanings and effects are understood in often polarised ways as either an empowering tool for social justice or a dangerous demonising trend. Social media are central to cancel culture as the source of “incriminating” material, the channels through which call-outs and cancellations occur, and sites of meta discussion, debate, and commentary on cancellation, with posts often referred to in reports of…
Humanism strikes back? A posthumanist reckoning with ‘self-development’ and generative AI
Since the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022, AI activity has reached a fever pitch. Calls for effective ethical responses to the pressurised AI environment have in turn abounded. Posthumanism, which seeks to build ethical futures by de-centring the ‘human’, is an obvious candidate to act as a lynchpin of theoretical intervention. In their responses, posthumanist scholars appear to have embraced AI’s potential to destabilise Humanist philosophic…
Pain(ful) research
Qualitative research methods play a central role in pain and health research, especially in enhancing understandings of lived experiences. This article focuses on the experiences of a researcher living with a chronic pain condition completing in-depth qualitative interviews exploring knee pain and osteoarthritis experiences, treatment and management. Using a collaborative autoethnographic approach, the article considers how the lived experience o…
‘Sex is so much more than penis in vagina’
Novel forms of social media created ‘by-and-for’ women offer potentially new ways of communicating and constructing sex education. In this paper, we consider how Instagram is being used by sex educators to deploy discourses of resistance and erotics to educate about sex. Our method consisted of a combined critical discourse (CDA) and content analysis of Instagram posts (n = 200) from a small sample of influential feminist/queer sex education acco…
Oh how I love being a woman”
Feminist sex-positive art on Instagram
Instagram has been identified as potentially offering opportunities for feminist activism and resistance against limiting normative ideals surrounding femininity and the body. Extending this work, this article examines a corpus of illustrations shared to Instagram by feminist sex-positive artists. Locating these representations within the constraints of a platform where gendered norms and hierarchies are predominant, we ask how and to what extent…
The ineffable allure of sugar - Hammer cake, That Sugar Film and contradictory pleasures
This article explores the complicated place of sugar in the display of family connectedness and health in a white, middle class Australian family. In the context of heightened anxiety about childhood obesity, we present the Baker family as a case study to explore the pleasures and tensions that sugar consumption produces in families. On their birthdays, each child has a luxurious “Hammer Cake” coated in chocolate studded with sweets; simultaneous…
The family meals imperative and everyday family life
At a time of increasing diversity in family forms and family practices the evening family meal is promoted as an imperative; a straightforward solution to complex social problems such as childhood obesity, family breakdown and depression. In this paper we discuss the challenges faced by families in achieving this imperative on an everyday basis drawing on visual data generated by children from a qualitative research project with 50 diverse famili…
Children, ‘healthy’ food, school and family
This paper draws on a multi-method study with 50 families in Victoria, Australia. Primary school children were asked about food knowledge from school and whether they felt motivated to bring knowledge home. Generally, children and parents felt school food messages are unclear, contradictory and not relevant to them and this reduced the likelihood of messages coming home from school. We identify a critical difference in how families thought about …
Navigating the cartographies of trust
Digital media offer citizens novel ways of ‘enacting’ health and illness, and treatment and care. However, while digital media may so ‘empower’ citizens, those searching for credible information will be confronted with various, often‐conflicting claims that may have ‘disempowering’ effects. This article uses Gieryn's concept of the ‘cultural cartography’ to explore the criteria that patients and carers employ in establishing the credibility of in…
Citizens' use of digital media to connect with health care
Digital technologies promise to transform practices of health, medicine and health care and 'power' economies. In expectation of their presumed future benefits, governments in recent years have invested heavily in new technology initiatives and have sought to engender 'digital literacy' among citizens. This article introduces papers and expands on themes arising from a special issue that explores the socio-ethical and regulatory implications of c…
The politics of evidence in online illness narratives
This article addresses the growing trend of crowdfunding for unproven stem cell-based treatments. Our analysis uses quantitative and qualitative data collected from two popular fundraising sites to examine how these sites are used to fund purported stem cell 'treatments' or 'therapies'. In addition to mapping the use and success of these online campaigns by people with different health conditions in different locations, we consider the breakthrou…

University students’ drinking as a social practice and the challenge for public health
In this paper, we explore the relational dynamics of alcohol consumption by university students, drawing on qualitative interviews with fifty undergraduates in Victoria, Australia. We argue that university drinking is a social practice comprised of a bundle of activities that operate together to reinforce excessive consumption. Drawing on a distinct version of social practice theory, we conceptualise drinking as an organising principle of univers…
Mothers caring through injury
In this paper, we discuss the value of qualitative research in a commissioned research project with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and WorkSafe under the auspices of Institute for Safety, Compensation and Recovery Research (ISCRR). The project was designed to examine existing quantitative data about the time taken to return to work by injured mothers and explore women's experiences of caring for children while seeking to recover from inj…
My dirty little habit
Between hope and evidence
Stem cell science provides an exemplary study of the 'management of hope'. On the one hand, raising 'hopes' and expectations is a seen as a necessary aspect of securing investment in promising innovative research. On the other, such hyperbole risks raising hopes to a level that may lead people to undertake undue risks, which may ultimately undermine confidence in medical research. In this context, the 'management of hope' thus involves the negoti…
Social class, anxieties and mothers' foodwork
In the context of concerns about childhood obesity, mothers are placed at the forefront of responsibility for shaping the eating behaviour and consequently the health of their young children. This is evident in a multitude of diverse sites such as government reports, health promotion materials, reality TV shows and the advice of childcare nurses and preschools. These sites produce a range of resources available to mothers to draw on to constitute…
Practicing Food Anxiety
Concerns about the relationship between diet, weight, and health find widespread expression in the media and are accompanied by significant individual anxiety and responsibilization. However, these pertain especially to mothers, who undertake the bulk of domestic labor involved in managing their families’ health and wellbeing. This article employs the concept of anxiety as social practice to explore the process whereby mothers are made accountabl…
Responsibility and resistance
Childhood obesity is identified as a key public health challenge. Women have been made responsible for this new aspect of ‘good’ child feeding. In this article we draw on a study of Australian mothers of preschool-aged children to explore how women integrate new demands for healthy eating into their daily feeding practices. We found that these women were highly responsive to discourses of responsibility for ‘healthy eating’ (and fearful of obesit…

I Don't Want Her to Be Overweight Like I Was as a Girl
Widespread concern about a childhood obesity ‘epidemic’ has focused attention on the bodies, weight and food behaviours of mothers and their children. In childhood obesity-related discourse, mothers' bodies are framed in relation to the bodies of children, most directly in claims that fat mothers produce fat babies. Drawing on data from a qualitative study involving interviews with mothers of pre-school aged children, this paper examines how the …
