Book Boundaries” in West Michigan School Board Election Campaigns
Across the United States, White Christian Nationalism (WCN) has emerged in public discourse, policy, and practice around literacy education. Examining varied localized enactments of censorship further nuances accounts of how WCN asserts its vision for public literacy education. In particular, school board campaigns have become spaces of debate on the goals and contents of literacy education, as WCN candidates advocate for censorship of topics, ma…
Power, recovery and doing something worthwhile
BACKGROUND: Patient involvement in psychiatry education is required by policy and has many benefits for students. Little research has focused on the impact on expert patients (EPs). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the impact of involvement in psychiatry education on mental health patients. DESIGN: A qualitative descriptive study using semistructured interviews was conducted in a psychiatry teaching unit in the East Midlands, UK. A purposiv…
The hidden costs of a hidden smile
A culture of oral health neglect and one chipped tooth led Christine Collins to a devastating series of conditions that affected her physical and emotional well-being. The costs of this culture on a person's individual health - and the health-care system as a whole - demonstrate the true value of preventive oral health care
Entering an online support group on eating disorders
Stommel, W. Entering an online support group on eating disorders: A discourse analysis , Amsterdam : Rodopi 2010 285 pp. € 57.00 (pbk ) ISBN 978-90-420-2660-5 Stommel presents an analysis of the dynamics involved in joining an online community, framing this interactive process, through the vehicles of community and identity, as accomplishing the early stages of the Parsonian sick role.

Pharma in the bedroom . . . and the kitchen. . . . The pharmaceuticalisation of daily life
This paper examines the consequences of a new emphasis on lifestyle in the production, marketing and consumption of pharmaceuticals. Over the past decade, a range of medicines have become available that address aspects of lifestyle, while others have been the subject of lifestyle marketing. We argue, with recourse to a broad literature from the social sciences, economics and health services research and from our study of pharmaceutical consumptio…

What governs governance, and how does it evolve? The sociology of governance-in-action
Governance addresses a wide range of issues including social, economic and political continuity, security and integrity, individual and collective safety and the liberty and rights to self-actualization of citizens. Questions to be answered include how governance can be achieved and sustained within a social context imbued with cultural values and in which power is distributed unevenly and dynamically, and how governance impacts on individuals an…
You are what you eat? Vegetarianism, health and identity
What are health identities and how may we study them
This paper draws together findings from studies of health and identity to develop a model of health identities, based upon Deleuze and Guattari's approach to understanding the relationship between self, body and society. The model is used to inform a methodology for the empirical study of identities in relation to health and the body. Using a sample interview transcript, the methodology of analysis is demonstrated. The application of the model an…
I Love you to the Bones
With reference to an 'online ethnography' (Ward, 1999) carried out in the 'Anagrrl' [1] pro-anorexic (ana) asynchronous [2] web based community, I explore the radical, underground web-based pro-ana movement. The 'pro-ana' movement challenges established biomedical ideas surrounding the treatment of anorexia, based on the 'normalisation' of the body shape and weight. For participants of the pro-ana movement, the anorexic condition represents a for…
Health identities
This article explores the formation of 'health identities': embodied subjectivities that emerge out of complex psychosocial contexts of reflexive modernity, in relation to data on health and illness practices among groups of people and patients using medical technologies including weight-loss drugs and the erectile dysfunction drug sildenafil ( Viagra). We examine a range of health identities, from the 'expert patient' - a person who broadly adop…
Lesser Harms
A Sociology of Technology Governance for the Information Age
In a civil society, the governance of technology is a matter of law and regulation, but also of responsibility and accountability, within which issues of public safety and security must be balanced against individual and collective rights. Within sociology, studies have not fully examined the complexity of how governance is achieved, and how environmental changes may threaten governance systems. This article explores the negotiated character of t…
Pro‐anorexia, weight‐loss drugs and the internet
This paper explores the online ‘pro‐anorexia’ underground, a movement that supports those with anorexia and adopts an ‘anti‐recovery’ perspective on the disease. While encouraging a ‘healthy’ diet to sustain an anorexic way‐of‐life, the movement also recommends the radical use of weight‐loss pharmaceuticals to pursue and maintain low body weight, in contrast to their conventional use to treat obesity. Using ethnographic and interview data collect…

The Emergence of the Hybrid Community
The Cyber-Ethnographic (Re)Construction of Two Feminist Online Communities
The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that cyber-ethnography is the most appropriate tool in reaching an understanding of the online community. I argue that cyber-ethnography's reflexive qualities allow the characteristics of the online community to emerge. I demonstrate, through the cyber-ethnographic exploration of two feminist online communities, how the participants define their own perimeters. I suggest that the online community has two mai…
