Female genital mutilation/cutting experiences and attitudes among women from countries with high prevalence of FGM/C living in the United States
Can play streets foster less gendered and more inclusive play in public spaces
Parody and performance
Although a pastoral strand runs continuously throughout Muldoon's work, he is infrequently characterised as a pastoral poet. However, ignoring the pastoral in Muldoon's work is to ignore the very particular function his pastoral serves. Muldoon's often overlooked pastoral poems not only perform what Oona Frawley has called the "necessarily hybrid" function of memorialising landscape in a space scarred by empire, but offer simultaneous critiques o…
They «smelt of rot»
This essay considers Seamus Heaney’s early pastoral poetry through the lens of Julia Kristeva’s notion of the abject, the fearful and feminine Other. Abjection offers a way of reading and understanding the creeping darkness and fearful fertility of Heaney’s early landscapes, which are often more complex and less celebratory than Heaney’s reputation as a nature poet would suggest. This essay utilizes abjection in order to propose a reading of thes…
Teachers’ Health
Teachers' health is a key factor of any successful education system, but available data are conflicting. To evaluate to what extent teachers' health could be at risk, we used pre-pandemic data from the CONSTANCES population-based French cohort (inclusion phase: 2012-2019) and compared teachers (n = 12,839) included in the cohort with a random subsample selected among all other employees (n = 32,837) on four self-reported health indicators: percei…
What Levers to Promote Teachers’ Wellbeing during the Covid-19 Pandemic and Beyond
To highlight effective levers to promote teachers' wellbeing worldwide, particularly during difficult times such as the COVID-19 pandemic, we investigated work-related factors associated with teacher wellbeing, across borders and cultures. In six countries/territories, we examined the factors that were most consistently and strongly associated with two indicators of wellbeing at work: (i) job satisfaction; and (ii) work/life balance, and three in…

The heterogeneity of vulnerability in public health
The concept of vulnerability is frequently used in public health policies to develop tailored interventions or dedicate proportionately more resources to certain sub-populations. However, once segments of the population are identified as vulnerable, they are rarely consulted regarding whether this label is acceptable before instituting interventions. Instead, it is implicitly assumed that the targeted individuals identify themselves as vulnerable…
Are inequalities produced through the differential access to play opportunities at school? A call to level the playing field
‘You have to do 60 minutes of physical activity per day ... I saw it on TV ’
Public health institutions in many industrialised countries have been launching calls to address childhood obesity. As part of these efforts, Canadian physical activity campaigns have recently introduced children's play as a critical component of obesity prevention strategies. We consider this approach problematic as it may reshape the meanings and affective experiences of play for children. Drawing on the analytical concept of biopedagogies, we …
Playing for health? Revisiting health promotion to examine the emerging public health position on children's play
Concerns over dwindling play opportunities for children have recently become a preoccupation for health promotion in western industrialized countries. The emerging discussions of play seem to be shaped by the urgency to address the children's obesity epidemic and by societal concerns around risk. Accordingly, the promotion of play from within the field appears to have adopted the following principles: (i) particular forms of play are critical for…
Problematizing "Play-for-Health" Discourses Through Children's Photo-Elicited Narratives
There are growing concerns in many industrialized Western societies about declining opportunities for children to play, and fears that this will have adverse health consequences for them. Informed by anti-obesity efforts, public health institutions have recently begun to advance active forms of play as a way of improving children's physical health; however, promoting play for physical health might reshape meanings of play for children. We conduct…
Active play may be lots of fun, but it's certainly not frivolous
In the context of what has been termed a childhood obesity epidemic, public health institutions have recently begun to promote active play as a means of addressing childhood obesity, thus advancing play for health. Drawing on Foucault, this article problematises the way that children's play is being taken up as a health practice and further considers some of the effects this may have for children. Six Canadian public health websites were examined…
A critical discourse analysis of Canadian and Australian public health recommendations promoting physical activity to children
In the past decades, public health has increasingly addressed what has been called the children’s obesity ‘epidemic’, most notably through large-scale initiatives promoting physical activity. Through a discourse analysis the current paper critically examines such efforts in Canadian and Australian public health. Public health websites in Canada and Australia were examined for information concerning children’s health, physical activity and obesity…
All work and no play? The nascent discourse on play in health research
I’m a young student, I’m a girl ... and for some reason they are hard on me for smoking
Despite considerable population declines, smoking has become increasingly socially stratified, a trend that emerges as salient when examining smoking according to gender. However, there is a dearth of comparative research with regard to smoking inequalities among men and women. The goal of this exploratory study was to examine how three elements of the social context (identity, body, agency) are gendered and the way in which they differentially s…
Tobacco control and the inequitable socio-economic distribution of smoking
Warning: this article contains strong language. This paper focuses on the ways in which social context structures smokers’ views of, and reactions to, tobacco control. This exploratory study examined the interactions between tobacco control and smokers’ social contexts and how this may be contributing to inequalities in smoking. We found in our sample that higher socio-economic status (SES) smokers are more likely to positively respond and adapt …
The Other in North American doctoral dissertations
Studies of Western representations of the (non-Western) Other have included fiction and non-fiction, exposing underlying relations of inequality and domination in the colonial era. Given common emphases on knowledge as a central societal dimension by those who focus on information and communication technologies on the one hand and those who focus on politics on the other, we seek to investigate knowledge-power links in the contemporary world. Her…
