Improvised Theatre for Public Engagement with the Climate Crisis in Rural Irish Communities
Engaging the public with the climate crisis has proven challenging due to both the technical complexity of the issue and the strong emotions evoked. “Doom and gloom” approaches run the risk of provoking backlash, despair or overwhelm, none of which support constructive action. Here we used unscripted theatre to make room for both scientific content and affective responses, towards enhancing agency in rural communities at the greatest risk of nega…
Nonsuicidal self-injury and intersubjective recognition
This article explores the relevance of intersubjective recognition and the 'recognition theoretical turn' to our understanding of nonsuicidal self-injury. While previous research has demonstrated that self-injury possesses an important social dimension alongside its intrapsychic characteristics, a major challenge for any social approach to self-injury has been to find a way to describe and analyse this dimension without reductively implying that …
‘My skin screams’
The personal is social
Sociological interest in nonsuicidal self‐injury is over 20 years old, and the last decade shows a marked increase in journal articles and research monographs. Here, we survey and critically evaluate this growing sociology of self‐injury, providing a short history of its development, and describing the focus of four contrasting approaches used in exploring a sociology of such a private practice: institutional interactions; processes of social con…
Self-injury in social context
I couldn’t say the words’
There is a growing recognition that nonsuicidal self-injury commonly incorporates communicative and interactional dimensions. But regardless of whether we approach self-injury within the terms of deliberate interpersonal communication, it is undeniably something that conveys a significant impact into the social and communicative field between people. As such, it is something that can be approached and analysed as communicative in this more genera…
The social life of self-injury
This article makes the case for a sociological focus on the communicative, relational and interactional dimensions of nonsuicidal self-injury. While current research tends to be dominated by highly individual and intrapsychic models, it is increasingly observed that such models leave a social dimension to the practice unexplained. A burgeoning sociological literature has begun to address this paradox of the social in self-injury; however, we argu…
He looks gorgeous' - iuMR images and the transforming of foetal and parental identities
The MERIDIAN study examined whether in-utero MRI (iuMRI) improves the accuracy of diagnosis of foetal brain abnormalities, when used as an adjunct to ultrasound anomaly scanning. A diagnostic iuMRI differs from routine ultrasound screening because of its infrequent use and scanning procedure. Nested within this trial, this sociological study explored the acceptability of iuMRI as a technology and its contribution to parental decision-making. Our …
Constructions of Decision Making for Risk-Reducing Mastectomy
This research article explores constructions of the decision-making process for risk-reducing mastectomy and considers the consequent role and responsibility of clinical psychologists. Using a Foucauldian discourse analysis approach, three online newspaper articles, five online forums, and four semi-structured interviews were analyzed. Seven discursive constructions are identified and discussed within three broader discourses of mental illness, r…
MRI for Fetal Developmental Brain Abnormalities
Ultrasound is routinely used as a prenatal screening and diagnostic tool but has limitations. Some anomalies in the developing fetal brain can be difficult to detect, and in utero magnetic resonance imaging (iuMRI) is increasingly used as an adjunct to ultrasound. However, understandings of patient perspectives of iuMRI technology are still developing. Our qualitative study of 41 mothers who experienced iuMRI was embedded in a diagnostic accuracy…
Death and anorexia nervosa
Changing times
Juvenile Travellers
While most discussions of juvenile imperial literature relate to the mid-nineteenth century onwards, this article draws attention to an earlier period by examining the children's books of Priscilla Wakefield. Between 1794 and 1817 Priscilla Wakefield wrote sixteen children's books that included moral tales, natural history books and a popular travel series. Her experience of the British Empire's territories was, in the main, derived from the work…

Lacking Compassion – Sociological Analyses of the Medical Profession
Male Rape and the Careful Construction of the Male Victim
Sexual assault generates much attention in social research, but male victims are largely neglected by a predominantly feminist perspective that seeks to highlight the gendered nature of sexual assault as a social phenomenon. As a result there is a relative lack of empirical information on male rape, but it is possible to chart the theoretical development of male rape as a social problem as it emerges in the social research discourse. It is import…
Doctor-patient interaction in a randomised controlled trial of decision-support tools
Cognitive Citizenship
Dementia and chronic hip disease are both more prevalent with advancing age. Given this, the number of people with both dementia and hip disease is likely to increase in an ageing population such as the UK. This article raises questions about how people with dementia and chronic hip disease are conceptualized in the context of evidence-based medicine, and whether this conceptualization may limit unfairly their access to surgical services. The pub…
Framing the doctor-patient relationship in chronic illness
How family doctors conceptualise chronic illness in the consultation has important implications for both the delivery of medical care, and its experience by patients. In this paper, we present the results of a re-analysis of qualitative data collected in a series of studies of British family doctors between 1995 and 2001, to explore the ways in which the legitimacy and authority of medical knowledge and practice are organised and worked out in re…
The Revolutionary Bishops and the Philosophes
TEN OF THE SIXTEEN CONSTITUTIONAL BISHOPS who sat in the republican National Convention in France from September 1792 to October 1795 remained priests at the end of their days. As constitutional bishops they aroused the papal wrath for claiming that liberty, equality, and fraternity were what the Gospel preached. The Pope's brief, Quod Aliquantum of 10 March 1791, denounced liberty and equality as unchristian. This frenzied liberty was insane, wr…
