Situated ethics as methodological innovation in sexuality research governance with adolescents
Artificial intelligence as a reflexive collaborator in graduate studies supervision
The incorporation of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in doctoral supervision signifies a transformative evolution in higher education. This has been significant, particularly within intricate and emotionally complex research such as sexuality studies. This reflective, collaborative autoethnographic study investigates the experiences of a doctoral student and her supervisor. They explored AI generative tools to enhance research processes, …
Unraveling silence
Introduction Male victims of rape face significant barriers when reporting to the South African Police Service (SAPS), where hegemonic masculinity and heteronormative institutional cultures render male victimhood socially unintelligible. This study examines how police perceptions and institutional practices produce epistemic and secondary victimization for male rape victims. Methods A qualitative design using in-depth semi-structured interviews w…
Amawele (Twinship), tradition, and trans identity
This is a critical examination of cisheteronormative beliefs and practices through the lens of the lived experiences of Vuyo, a transgender Xhosa man “oliwele” who is the twin of a cisgender male. Drawing upon an in-depth interview with Vuyo, we explore how cisgenderism and heteronormativity were reinforced as norms within his traditional Xhosa upbringing and community. We further examine what impact this had on his sense of self and identity fro…
Selling masculinity – A qualitative analysis of gender representations in social media content about “low T”
Testosterone has long been advertised through gendered messages that link masculinity with strength, sexual performance and vitality. In recent years, this marketing has moved onto social media, where platforms offer new ways to target audiences and shape ideas about men's health. This study examines how gender and masculinity are portrayed in social media content about testosterone testing and treatment on Instagram and TikTok. Using qualitative…
Transforming Family Communication
This qualitative case study examined how LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer+) parents in South Africa disrupt intergenerational patterns of sexuality silence through innovative family communication strategies. The study employed purposive and snowball sampling to recruit six diverse LGBTQ+ families from Gauteng Province consisting of seven parents and five adolescent children. Data collection involved arts-based methodologies f…
The Association Between HIV Testing Modality and Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Selected Provinces of South Africa
Despite South Africa being the epicentre of HIV, some progress was made in the fight against HIV, i.e., the implementation of HIV programmes, provision of antiretroviral therapy (ART), etc. However, little is known about the association between HIV testing modalities and ART initiation. This study aimed to determine the association between HIV testing modalities and ART initiation among men who have sex with men (MSM) in selected provinces of Sou…
‘My Ancestors Were Displeased With Me’ – Childhood Embodiment of Variant Intersex Developments in South Africa
South Africa constitutionally promotes affirmative gender and sexual diversity education, but the curriculum assumes normative bodies with binary classifications of external genitalia. Children born with intersex development present variant chromosomal, gonadal, or genitalia that deviate from the norm. Lensed through the Theory of Unintelligibility, these bodies are seen as ambiguous and derogatively labelled as hermaphrodites or Disorders of Sex…
Transnational Feminist Media Ethics and LGBTIQ+ Activism in Namibia, Africa
This paper examines the media coverage of Namibia’s 2023 Supreme Court ruling recognizing same-sex marriages performed abroad and argues that transnational feminist media ethics offers a critical framework for analyzing the complex interplay between legal victories, social backlash, and violent consequences for LGBTIQ+ communities. Through a feminist critical discourse analysis of 46 Namibian newspaper articles, we demonstrate how the ruling and …
Centring LGBT learners
Reimagining consumer involvement
BACKGROUND: Reflections on the response to the COVID-19 pandemic often evoke the concept of 'resilience' to describe the way health systems adjusted and adapted their functions to withstand the disturbance of a crisis, and in some cases, improve and transform in its wake. Drawing from this, this study focuses on the role of consumer representatives in healthcare services in initiating changes to the way they participated in the pandemic response …
From People-Centred to People-Driven Care
(Un)Natural Saviors and Motivators
This article explores how Black male teachers in Hollywood films continue to be encoded with meanings derived from deficit social science discourse generated through a white-controlled epistemic order. Drawing from the framework of critical public pedagogy and utilizing the critical visual cultural tradition, we contend that the representation of Black male teachers on film is rooted in longstanding conceptual narratives of Black men and boys. Fi…
Unintelligibility, personhood and curriculum silences of intersex bodies in the Life Orientation high school classroom
Despite an increase in the research that promotes affirmative gender and sexual diversity in the South African Life Orientation (LO) education, there remains an uncomfortable silence on intersex bodies. In the absence of distinctive binary classifications of external genitalia, learners with variant intersex characteristics are incapable of integration into socio-educational environments. This article explores how individuals with variant interse…
Transitioning Experiences of First Year Gender Non-conforming Students from School to University in South Africa
Sharing administrative health data with private industry
BACKGROUND: There is good evidence of both community support for sharing public sector administrative health data in the public interest and concern about data security, misuse and loss of control over health information, particularly if private sector organizations are the data recipients. To date, there is little research describing the perspectives of informed community members on private sector use of public health data and, particularly, on …
Home Tobacco Use Policies and Exposure to Secondhand Tobacco Smoke
Most US adults have implemented tobacco-free home policies; however, there is still exposure to SHS in the home, for both adults and children, particularly in the homes of tobacco users. Additional research should investigate tobacco-free home policies for different types of products and what effect they have on future tobacco use behaviors
School-Based Support Team Responses to Sexual Diversity and Homophobic Bullying in a South African School
Queering Family Dialogue through Entertainment Education
This article examines how minority sexual identity plots in prime-time South African soap operas queered the family talk. It further explores how young people with (un)disclosed minority sexual identities navigate within these discursive or affirming dialogs that follow. Nine (9) participants (3 lesbian and 6 gay students) shared their narratives through one-to-one interviews on family dialogs after viewing minority sexual identities scenes in po…
I only relieve myself when I get home in the afternoons”
This article investigates how lesbian students experience microaggressions in bathrooms at a South African university. We conveniently and purposively used in-depth interviews with 17 lesbian students largely from one of the faculties. Our findings show that notions of microaggression in university bathrooms were not always subtle but pervaded with strong intentions of cissexism and heteronormative messages that had serious implications for the w…

Queering Teacher Education Through Intergroup Dialogue
This article reports on intergroup dialogue as an innovative pedagogical tool to disrupt compulsory heteronormative values among life orientation (LO) students. LO is a school subject that is the study of the self in relation to others and to society. An intergroup dialogue between student teachers and their peers with diverse sexual orientations and gender expressions aimed to explore and understand sexuality differences, foster deeper understan…
A critical participatory pedagogical approach to enabling life orientation students to develop social literacy through HIV education
HIV education is an important component of the life orientation curriculum, since an intersectional understanding of HIV provides an entry point to appreciate the interrelatedness of various social injustices. Yet, our interaction with predominantly white and privileged pre-service life orientation students led us to believe that they did not perceive HIV education as something that was relevant to their personal or professional lives. Their rigi…
Lessons on Patient and Stakeholder Engagement Strategies for Pipeline to Proposal Awards
The Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) supports patient-centered clinical comparative effectiveness research (CER) including health disparities and engagement portfolios. In 2013, PCORI launched the Pipeline to Proposal (P2P) mechanism to support development of novel patient- and stakeholder-centered partnerships focused on designing clinical CER funding proposals. By providing a tiered structure of successive small contracts an…
Community Partners in Care
Exploratory sub-analyses suggest that high rates of mainly minority men in under-resourced communities have high prevalence of depression. A multi-sector coalition approach may hold promise for improving community-prioritized outcomes, such as mental wellness and reduced hospitalizations for men, meriting further development of this approach for future research and program design

A sediment-based multiproxy palaeoecological approach to the environmental archaeology of lake dwellings (crannogs), central Ireland
A multiproxy study of Ballywillin Crannog, Lough Kinale, central Ireland is presented. The methodology used reveals the wealth of information that a multiproxy approach can contribute in lake settlement studies. Plant macrofossils, pollen and spores, diatoms, chironomids and Coleoptera from a lake core are used to reconstruct local and regional vegetation change and lake history to establish the age and function of the crannog. The palaeoecologic…

Historical Perspectives on African American Males as Subjects of Education Policy
The intent of this article is to frame the contemporary policy prescriptions concerning the plight and prospects of African American males in historical perspective. The authors argue that the emergence of African American males as a special subject of educational policy represents a more explicit rendering of a deeply rooted social and educational policy discourse in which African American males figured prominently but seldom as a targeted subje…
To correct, punish and praise’ LRC leaders experiences and expressions of non-heterosexuality in Namibian schools
Learner representative councils (LRCs) have been constituted to foster democratic participation and citizenry in Namibian schools. Drawing on a larger UNESCO project that focused on gender violence and schooling, we report on focus group interviews with LRC members in schools in Windhoek. Working with how heterosexuality is normalised and constituted as dominant in schools, we explore how LRCs in Namibian schools respond to and confront non-heter…

Sometimes people kill you emotionally
This article reports on the exclusionary experiences of self-identified homosexual learners in mainstream schools in Namibia. Namibia adopted the UNESCO’s Salamanca Statement on Inclusive Education in 1994 which promulgates that schooling should cater for all children regardless of their differences. However, Namibia still upholds legislation that deems homosexuality as a criminal offence which subsequently presents numerous challenges on how sch…

Gumbo and Menudo and the Scraps of Citizenship
The Illusion of Inclusion
In this article, Julian Vasquez Heilig, Keffrelyn Brown, and Anthony Brown offer findings from a close textual analysis of how the Texas social studies standards address race, racism, and communities of color. Using the lens of critical race theory, the authors uncover the sometimes subtle ways that the standards can appear to adequately address race while at the same time marginalizing it—the “illusion of inclusion.” Their study offers insight i…
Large and forgotten in rural Australia
There is a clear need for an effective health promotion strategy for the almost 40% overweight or obese Dubbo YAMs. The high rate of text message usage makes it feasible to recruit YAMs for a prospective study in which personalized text messages are used to promote healthy behaviours. It may be important to target motivation specifically in any weight-related intervention in this group with incentives such as gym membership vouchers
