Fleeing The City
Stigmatised and stressed
UK cannabis patients occupy a complex policy space in which prescribing has been lawful since 2018, but the drug remains otherwise illegal. This article draws on qualitative interviews from the first UK sociological study of cannabis patient experiences. The findings demonstrate that contradictory policies; a lack of training for professionals; and the legacy of prohibitionist constructions of cannabis result in a range of harms, including inequa…
It's a big added stress on top of being so ill”
The UK government's lack of implementation of medical cannabis legalisation, combined with their ongoing prohibition position, is producing multiple harms to people who need cannabis medicine. The policy context is perpetuating stigmatising attitudes to cannabis which, as we demonstrate, contribute to social harms. We make recommendations on equality of patient access, and highlight the importance of education and policy change as means of combat…
Children’s perspectives on family members’ needs and support after child sexual abuse
Intra-familial child sexual abuse is acknowledged to have wide-reaching impacts within the family environment; impacts that can affect both non-abusing family members’ own wellbeing and their capacity to support the child who has been abused. Yet research also demonstrates the important role that can be played by family members, in the aftermath of the identification of abuse, when appropriately supported. This article builds on this existing evi…
Research Ethics for Human Geography
Thinking, doing, talking science
This study investigates the impact of a professional development programme for teachers that encourages more cognitively challenging, practical, and interactive science lessons. Using a Randomised Controlled Trial, its impact was measured by pupil learning outcomes. Pupils aged 9–10 at 42 primary (elementary) schools in Oxfordshire (England) were randomised to receive either the ‘Thinking, Doing, Talking Science’ (TDTS) programme, or to be in the…
The spaces and politics of affective nationalism
Over the last decade, affect has emerged as one of the most prominent concepts within human geography. More recently, scholars engaging with the nation have also drawn on insights from studies of affect to interrogate the ways in which relations between people and materially heterogeneous assemblages underpin national forms of identification, organisation and expression. This symposium aims to interrogate affective nationalism both as an analytic…
Homelessness—‘It will crumble men’
People with an intellectual disability (ID) face significant health inequalities and barriers to accessing appropriate support, which are made worse if the person is also homeless. An important barrier is that services may not recognise that the person has ID. This qualitative study explored the views of staff members and service users about the identification and support needs of homeless people with ID and the role of an ID screening questionna…
Cannabis Use in an English Community
Cannabis occupies an ambiguous social, cultural, economic, and legal position, meaning that the way communities construct, interact with, and interpret drug markets is a complicated and uncertain process. This article seeks to explain these ambiguities by investigating the place of cannabis use in a UK borough, drawing on qualitative empirical data collated from a sample ( N = 68) of practitioners, local residents, cannabis users, and their famil…

Pacific Islander Radio and Music in Auckland
This paper looks at the emergence of radio broadcasting aimed at the Pacific Island populations. There are now larger populations of people from micro-states like the Cook Islands and Niue (whose 17 people are New Zealand citizens) in South Auckland there than in their tiny home territories
Te Wa Whakapaoho Ite Reo Irirangi
The bicultural policies of much of the public sector in Aotearoa/New Zealand are based on the Treaty of Waitangi. Broadcasting is taken by many Maori to be an important means of empowerment, especially with regard to cultural revival and language maintenance. In the field of broadcasting there have been three major cases before the Waitangi Tribunal. The Te Reo Maori Report (1986) identified the Maori language as a valued possession which the Cro…
The First 30 Years of MIA
Former editor Helen Wilson wrote this editorial in 2006 to commemorate 30 years of MIA. It examines the history of the journal, the people who brought it into being and kept it going, and its unique role in Australia's media and academic environment. An edited version is reproduced here because of the comprehensive and definitive overview it provides of the journal's history and vision

Drug use desistance
Drug dependence is generally thought to involve a loss or reduction of individual autonomy. Yet of the 11 million people in the UK (27 per cent of the population aged 16–74) who have ever used illicit drugs at some point in their life, probably no more than 300,000 (1%) are drug dependent. Many commentators find the apparently self-destructive behaviour of problematic drug users difficult to explain. According to rational theory, choices are made…
Thirty Years of MIA
To commemorate 30 years of the journal, MIA editor Helen Wilson has been exploring the archive and speaking with some of the many people who helped give it birth, carry it through difficult transformations and take responsibility for the content
Too Soon
In response to Minister Helen Coonan's discussion paper on media reform released in March, the authors survey the recent history of media ownership policy with particular reference to the Productivity Commission's visionary 2000 report on broadcasting. They argue that the present proposals fall short of the plan laid out in this report and are premature pending further development of digital media
Deviant (M)others
Paradoxically, the focus on teen motherhood as an object of concern in the West has coincided with declining rates of teen birth. This suggests that the view of teenage motherhood as problematic is underpinned by changing social and political imperatives regarding the role of women in these countries. This article examines the literature surrounding teenage motherhood from the United States, United Kingdom and New Zealand, and explores the way in…
American Empire
This issue of MIA was conceived at about the time that the November 2003 issue on 'The New "Others": Media and Society Post-September 1' was published. That issue, due to the normal journal lead times, was largely assembled before both the Bali bombing and the war in Iraq, and thus the editors, Liz Jacka and Lelia Green, were not able to give the kind of coverage to those events that they, and we, would have liked. So this issue, in which we incl…
Brain Science, Early Intervention and ‘At Risk’ Families
In recent years neuroscience has increasingly been drawn on to focus attention on the significance of early childhood years for healthy brain development. However an examination of the literature suggests that brain science has little specific to offer parents. In spite of this, a belief that these first years are a critical period for child development has provided the impetus for the introduction of early intervention programmes targeting group…

Hosting the Olympic Broadcast
The host broadcaster is a peculiar, temporary but complex media institution which takes its most developed form in the case of the Olympic Games. The Sydney Olympic Broadcasting Organisation (SOBO) was the host broadcaster for the Sydney Olympics, providing vision for world television networks. Its political economy is examined from the point of view of the changing dynamics of television technologies and the Olympic Movement's assignment of inte…

It is perhaps fortunate that human memory is so brief, for otherwise we might lose our sanity. On the other hand our inability to remember the lessons of the past dooms us to repeat our errors.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website

ABC Radio Spaces
In contrast to the 'high communication policy' of most of Australian television, recent developments in ABC radio have exhibited an opposing tendency, towards multiple centres of transmission. This came about through an imperative to provide equity for rural listeners, with the establishment of a Second Regional Radio Network in the 1980s. The network has resulted in a complex layering of radio's 'spaces of communication' on regional stations, wh…
Introduction
Radio is an under-researched medium, yet it is present in an increasing range of forms and roles in our everyday lives. For the last two decades, Australians over 18 years have listened to an average of 20 hours of radio a week. Owning multiple receivers is very much the norm and it is not unusual to hear of households with five or more radios. We wake to radio, listen to radio in our showers, go to work with radio in our cars, listen to radio wh…
