Patterns, harms and responses to licit and illicit substance use in Zimbabwe
Anecdotal reports highlight increased methamphetamine, cocaine, and codeine-cough syrup use in Zimbabwe, with no clear empirical basis. Therefore, the scoping review aimed to identify primary evidence of patterns, harms and responses to substance use (SU) within Zimbabwe. Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) framework and the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (Tricco et al., 2018) were followed. Medline (Pub Med), Scopus, Academic Search Premier, Cumu…
Mental Health and Internalized Homophobia Among Lesbian/Gay and Bisexual Individuals in China
Exploring carceral food systems
There is growing recognition of the inextricable relationship between food and punishment, a relationship buttressed by hyper-capitalism, colonialism, racism, and other harmful approaches to social control. This is abundantly clear in the context of carceral systems, where food is a tool of violence and control. Yet, in prison, food is also a tool of contestation and resistance, and a means of building community and solidarity. A critical examina…
Between community and contempt
This narrative piece presents eight vignettes from formerly incarcerated individuals, reflecting on their experiences of food and food provisioning within federal prisons in Canada. The stories and insights shed light on the negotiation and dynamic interplay between the imposition of unjust policies and the everyday creativity and persistence of those subject to its harmful carceral logic. In reading these vignettes we can also see how one might …
Contesting through food
In highly regulated environments such as prisons, food-related practices seem to be one of the only activities that can be controlled by incarcerated people, although this control is very limited. Drawing on a media review conducted as part of the research project, we explore collective hunger strikes in Canadian prisons, highlighting the demands made by incarcerated individuals between 2016 and 2022, as well as the institutions’ response. Since …
Introduction to the Special Issue on Critical Realism and Criminal Justice
In 2024, Warwick Law School hosted the 26th Annual Conference of the International Association for Critical Realism. The essays in this dedicated Special Issue stem from the conference and conversa
Violation and the emancipatory subject
In this paper I explore the philosophical grounds of critiques of restorative justice and their ethical limits by addressing two absences. George Pavlich’s critical theory of restorative justice qua the ‘imitor paradox’ provides a unifying critical account that helpfully illuminates the ways in which restorative justice has failed to give effect to its radical promise of emancipation from violation. However, I find that its poststructural/postmod…

A review of theatre interventions and mental health
BACKGROUND: There is limited knowledge of how theatre interventions have been deployed to address mental health issues in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Our aim was to examine the role of theatre as a research activity and explore the ways in which its research potential had been actualised in the literature, and examine the extent to which authors have addressed LMICs. METHODS: We undertook a scoping review informed by PRISMA guideline…
It’s a big, round circle of knowledge to me. I don’t know how else to explain it”
Indigenous identity is supported by connections to land, community, and culture and is a key aspect of health. Cultural identity is threatened by settler colonialism, and urban Indigenous Peoples experience unique challenges including the myth that Indigeneity is incompatible with urban areas, even though most Indigenous Peoples in Canada live in cities, and many express their identities through urban Indigenous food sovereignty (IFS) practices. …
Longitudinal associations between the frequency of playing Mahjong and cognitive functioning among older people in China
Background Cognitive decline is prevalent among older adults, often resulting in decreased capabilities for self-care and a diminished quality of life. Mahjong, a culturally cherished and extensively played intellectual game in China, demands considerable cognitive function. While the cognitive benefits of playing Mahjong have been widely accepted, this study investigates an under explored aspect and aimed to ascertain the game’s potential contri…

The findings provided a clinical reference to quickly identify those at high risk of suicide attempts among emerging adults with severe depressive symptoms
It Is Not Your Fault, Tell Someone
This research study aimed to explore how young people experience cybercrime, with the study being inductive. Thus, the type of crime(s) emerged from the convenience sample and so happened to be online grooming of young women. Using the case study method, two semi-structured interviews were conducted with young women who were ages 12 and 16 (at the time of the study) with in-depth information provided for each case. The data were then triangulated…
Appearance anxiety and social anxiety
Background: Previous studies have focused on the comorbidity of appearance anxiety and social anxiety, but few studies have focused on the protective role of self-compassion as underlying this mechanism, in young people like University students. With the increase of prevalence of appearance anxiety and social anxiety in this age group, it is necessary to explore factors that can buffer against the symptoms of these disorders. Therefore, the aims …

“ Spice Was Made, by the Devil Himself ”
Synthetic cannabinoids (SC) are the most common type of new psychoactive substances used predominantly as a replacement for cannabis. There is a wealth of literature on the negative effects experienced by users of SC. However, there is a paucity of research on the experience of addiction to SC from the users' perspectives. The present study qualitatively explored the experience of addiction to SC. Online blog entries detailing the experience of S…
Stigma and mental health problems in an Indian context. Perceptions of people with mental disorders in urban, rural and tribal areas of Kerala
BACKGROUND: The concept of stigma has been widely used to understand patterns of discrimination and negative ideas surrounding people with mental health problems, yet we know little of the specific nuances of how this might operate beyond the 'Global North'. AIM: This paper aims to explore the notion of stigma in an Indian context by considering the lived experience of patients, carers and community members. METHODS: A sample of 204 participants,…
Beyond Alternative
Much attention has been given in recent years to the rise of alternative food networks However, the very concept of “alternative” has come under increasing scrutiny, as theorists grapple with what is meant by alternative and whether the concept adequately captures the key components of such a diverse range of networks and communities. Drawing on poststructuralist political economy, I propose the concept of autonomous food spaces as one possible l…
Peri-urban agriculture as quiet sustainability
This article advances academic and policy debates on peri-urban agriculture (PUA) by examining the phenomenon in the city of Sogamoso, Colombia. Planners, developers, and local authorities in Sogamoso have explicitly framed PUA as a barrier to development: a backwards, localized, low-tech and economically poorly performing activity that needs to make space for a more ‘productive’ ‘modern’ economy. Based on a survey of 160 peri-urban farming and g…

Exploring Carceral Food Systems as Sites of Contestation and Possibility in Canadian Federal Prisons
Centering the perspectives and lived experiences of incarcerated persons, this article considers the ways food is used as a tool and site of contestation and possibility within federal prisons in Canada. Focusing specifically on the implementation of and resistance to the Food Services Modernization Initiative, I explore food as “contested terrain” within carceral systems, making visible a range of tactics of resistance employed by incarcerated p…
British Couples’ Experiences of Men as Partners in Family Planning
This study explores how British couples experience men partners’ roles within family planning. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with couples and analyzed using discourse analysis. From the analysis, three discourses emerged: “Men’s role as partners is perceived differently within the couple”; “As partners men do not like their options for procuring condoms”; and “Family planning services are for women partners.” The first discourse c…
Multistable Perception of Art-Science Imagery
How do artists, scientists and artist-scientists view images, and how does their cultural background affect their interpretation? The author proposes that artist-scientists may exhibit cultural multistability, akin to the perceptual multistability associated with viewing visual illusions such as the Necker cube. After carrying out a survey, the author suggests that all individuals may exhibit cultural multistability in response to a challenging i…

The relationship between childhood trauma and Internet gaming disorder among college students
Shame, guilt and Martha Nussbaum’s immaturing process
In this paper, I argue that it is possible to have an account of shame and guilt as mature concepts in moral psychology that sit alongside immature ones. In arguing for this, I adopt the critical realist method of immanent critique, taking as my focus Martha Nussbaum’s accounts of shame and guilt in two key texts. Starting from a nuanced psychoanalytic foundation in Hiding from Humanity, Nussbaum undoes this grounding in favour of an elementary p…
Strengthening Sustainable Northern Food Systems
This paper explores how Canadian federal policy and frameworks can better support community-based initiatives to reduce food insecurity and build sustainable food systems in the North. Through an examination of the current state of food systems infrastructure, transportation, harvest, and production in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunavik, and Nunatsiavut, we argue in favour of a multi-sector approach that supports diversified food …

Guilt Beyond Guilt
As it is presently conceptualised and applied in criminal law, moral guilt is bound by a narrow, legalistic framework that is rooted in a liberal political philosophy. In this paper, drawing on the work of Herbert Morris, I seek to open up and deepen the concept of moral guilt. I do this through the development of a four‐fold typology of guilt that charts Morris's journey from political theory to metaphysics that includes the following forms: mor…

Network analysis is an approach that can be used to explain the relationship(s) between symptoms of different psychological disorders. Using network analysis, this study aimed to explore the association and…
Introspecting food movements in Canada
Over the past decades there has been a notable growth in community-based food systems projects and successes. Despite these advancements, food insecurity, precarious food work, ecological degradation, and corporate conglomeration in the food sector all continue to increase, compounded by the ongoing impacts of white supremacy, patriarchy, settler colonialism. Recognizing these growing inequities, critical scholars have noted that too many food sy…
