  • Lonely in place? The intersection of loneliness and place in the chronic illness experience

    Open AccessM L Moensted, Sophie Lewis et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2026

  • Towards enhancing animal welfare standards in UK media

    Open AccessHelen Lambert, Jody Gordon et al.ARTICLEHuman-Animal Interactions2025

    Animal use in the film, TV, and advertising industries is largely unregulated, which has given rise to numerous welfare issues and complaints over the years. In this study, through interviews and surveys conducted with industry stakeholders, including animal handlers, production teams, and other crew members, we have sought to explore the motivations driving animal welfare priorities, the challenges hindering implementation, and perceptions of po…

  • Attitudes to End-of-Life Care and Voluntary Assisted Dying Amongst Members of the Australian Jewish community

    Open AccessEli W Janover, Camille La Brooy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion and Health2025

    The implementation of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) in the Australian State of Victoria in 2019 has stimulated discussions about end-of-life care and dying in many communities. Various attempts have been made to represent the attitudes of the Jewish community, a distinct culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) group, in terms that suggest a unified set of opinions that opposes VAD policies. This research aimed to explore attitudes to VAD in…

  • Navigating contested terrain

    Open AccessM L Moensted, Sophie Lewis et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2025Referências: 12

    Lack of alternative housing forces residents to accept harmful institutional control. • Staff relationships and institutional policies mediate place interpretations. • Identical apartment features create sanctuary or cell depending on trauma history. • Place can function as both an enabling and a risk environment simultaneously. • Health outcomes depend on how structural constraints meet personal experiences

  • Buying Time

    Open AccessSophie Lewis, M Franklin et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2025Referências: 4

    Understandings of living well with incurable, life‐limiting disease are limited. This article examines how living with a ‘contracted future’, albeit of uncertain duration, affects how one spends time (wisely) in the present and plans future time. Mobilising the concept of timescapes and interviews with women with metastatic breast cancer, we examined how an incurable prognosis shaped how women experienced time, what meanings they ascribed to time…

  • Disruption and Improvisation

    Open AccessMelissa Mei Yin Cheung, Sophie Lewis et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2025Citada por: 1Referências: 45

    Chronic illness can disrupt many aspects of life, including identity, social relationships, and anticipated life trajectories. Despite significant scholarship on chronic illness, we know less about the ways in which chronic illness impacts feelings of loneliness and how people with chronic illness deal with loneliness. Drawing on concepts of biographical disruption and liminality and data from walking and photo-elicitation interviews with 14 peop…

  • Towards enhancing animal welfare standards in UK media

    Open AccessHelen Lambert, Jody Gordon et al.ARTICLEHuman-Animal Interactions2024

    Animals are frequently used in the UK for film, television, and advertising, but numerous stakeholders, including charities and industry representatives, have significant concerns regarding their on- and off-set welfare. However, it is unclear to what extent the public can identify animal welfare issues on screen or whether they know where to report any incidents. This survey sought to answer three research questions: (1) What are the levels of a…

  • De la reconnaissance du travail gestationnel à l’abolition de la famille

    Francesco Barilà Ciocca, Sophie Lewis et al.ARTICLEJournal des anthropologues2024

    La chercheuse Sophie Lewis discute des potentialités théoriques et politiques ouvertes par l’assimilation de la gestation au travail dans un sens marxien (par exemple concernant l’avortement) et les situe au sein des horizons politiques radicaux de l’abolition du travail et de la famille. Elle réfléchit aux notions d’utopie, de communisme et aux préfigurations collectives de modes d’organisation sociale post-capitalistes. Enfin, elle évoque nos (…

  • The Impact of Voluntary Assisted Dying on Grief and Bereavement for Family Members and Carers in the Australian State of Victoria

    Open AccessCamille La Brooy, Hayley Russell et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2024Referências: 7

    Prior to its introduction in Australia, many people opposed euthanasia—or voluntary assisted dying as it is known—because of its potentially detrimental impact on grief and bereavement outcomes for family members and carers. We examine the novel experiences of grief and bereavement of VAD for family members and carers who were going through, had gone through, or were contemplating VAD, juxtaposing the international literature on grief and bereave…

  • There but not really involved

    Open AccessSophie Lewis, Karen Willis et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2024Referências: 42

    Loneliness is one of the most pressing and rapidly growing contemporary social challenges around the world. Yet we still lack a good understanding of how loneliness is constituted and experienced by those most affected. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 40 people with chronic illness who were experiencing loneliness to explore what loneliness means to them and how it impacts in their daily lives. Drawing on ideas around liquidity and p…

  • Choreographing a good death

    Open AccessSophie Lewis, Camille La Brooy et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2024Citada por: 5Referências: 9

    The proliferation of assisted dying legislative reforms globally is a significant change in the social and medico-legal landscape of end-of-life care. Understanding the impacts of these legislative reforms on family members who care for a dying person is vital, yet under-theorised in research. In this article, drawing on semi-structured interviews with 42 carers for a person who has sought assisted dying in Australia, and extending ideas of ontol…

  • The incurable self

    Open AccessSophie Lewis, Giselle Newton et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2024Citada por: 3Referências: 16

    As the culture of silence that once surrounded cancer has gradually given way to greater public awareness, normative visions of what cancer survivorship should entail have proliferated. These visions emphasise positivity and perseverance in pursuit of cure. While these visions provide comfort to many, for people with metastatic cancer, the emphasis on cure can undermine their sense of belonging to the broader collective of people living with canc…

  • I was told I either came back or I lost my job

    Open AccessJohanna Alice Donaghy, Sophie Lewis et al.ARTICLECommunity Work & Family2024Citada por: 3Referências: 25

    Early pregnancy loss, defined as pregnancy loss prior to 20 weeks' gestation, occurs in about one in five pregnancies. Although there has been research on women's experiences of healthcare and social support following miscarriage, research into workplace support is relatively limited. In this study, we explored women's experiences of returning to work following early pregnancy loss, drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with 13 Australi…

  • Friendship, connectedness and (in)authenticity for those with chronic illness

    Open AccessM L Moensted, Sophie Lewis et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2023

    Friendship, a key element of social networks, has been under-studied in the social sciences. Chronic conditions can disrupt many aspects of life including identity, anticipated life trajectories and social relationships. Friendship relationships are important sources of support for chronic condition management. However, for individuals with chronic conditions, developing and maintaining close friendships may be particularly difficult. Despite sig…

  • Targeting 1.5 degrees with the global carbon footprint of the Australian Capital Territory

    Open AccessKylie Goodwin, Cameron Allen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2023Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    In 2019 the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) government stated an ambition to prioritise reduction of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, the size of which had not been fully quantified previously. This study calculated the total carbon footprint of the ACT in 2018, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and modelled scenarios to reduce all emissions in line with a 1.5 °C target approach. This is the first time a multi-scale analysis of local, sub-…

  • Paul Preciado's Uterine Politics

    Open AccessSophie LewisARTICLEParagraph2023

    This discussion takes up the politics of gestational labour and uterine productivity in connection with genetic self-reproduction and the family in the oeuvre of Paul B. Preciado. In his autotheoretical treatise Testo Junkie, Preciado dispensed with the standard Marxist-feminist term 'sexual division of labour', positing instead a 'technogestational division of labour' to describe the mechanism by which capitalism segments people's bodies and con…

  • Chronic condition self-management is a social practice

    Open AccessM Franklin, Karen Willis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Sociology2023Citada por: 4Referências: 64

    Self-management is widely promoted in Western health care policies as a way to address the impact of increasing rates of chronic conditions on health care systems. Mostly informed by psychological theories, self-management frameworks and interventions tend to target individual behaviours as demarcated from the many aspects of social life shaping these behaviours. Using Bourdieu's theory of practice, we develop four propositions for a relational a…

  • A time for self-care? Frontline health workers’ strategies for managing mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessSophie Lewis, Karen Willis et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2022

    Frontline healthcare workers have experienced detrimental mental health impacts during the COVID-19 pandemic including anxiety, emotional distress, stress, fatigue, and burnout. But little is known about how these healthcare professionals take care of their own mental health in the midst of considerable personal, occupational and social disruption. In this article, we use qualitative data from an Australian national survey to examine the self-car…

  • Challenging times

    Open AccessSophie Lewis, Karen Willis et al.ARTICLECritical Public Health2022

    Chronic health conditions represent a key challenge for contemporary public healthcare. Current policy promotes self-management support to reduce demands on health services and improve patients’ health and wellbeing. Though there is emerging recognition that self-management is achieved in collaboration between health professionals and patients, how chronicity is managed in interaction remains relatively underexplored in research. In this paper we…

  • Fascist Feminism

    Sophie Lewis, Asa SeresinARTICLETSQ Transgender Studies Quarterly2022Citada por: 5Referências: 2

    Repudiations of trans-exclusionary radical feminism often take the form of a call to strip from TERFs the name feminist. TERFism, it is often argued, is not “real feminism,” and in this same vein it is sometimes argued that lesbian exponents of transmisogyny are not a “real” part of queer history. Asa Seresin and Sophie Lewis—both of us transplants from “TERF Island,” living in the United States—here advance a different approach. In this critical…

  • Learning about Covid-19

    Open AccessD Lupton, Sophie LewisARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    A constantly changing news environment raises challenges for effective communication of risk and containment advice. People can become confused, distressed and overwhelmed by the plethora of information sources and fast-changing news environment. On the other hand, seeking out information can provide reassurance and comfort in response to anxiety and uncertainty. Clarity and consistency in risk messaging is important, as is responding quickly to …
