Unconditional cash transfers to improve health behaviors among primary care patients
Unconditional cash transfers are a popular poverty reduction approach and may influence behavioral risk factors for chronic disease outcomes through economic and psychological pathways. Few studies have used qualitative interviews to identify the mechanisms through which cash transfers delivered in a health care context might influence the health of people living with chronic diseases in the United States. We conducted a pilot randomized controll…
"Beth Uzwiak. Review of "A Brand New End
Quit Ditching the Love
In 2017, 1,074 persons died from opioid overdose in Philadelphia; more than 78% of those happened in a private residence. Despite constituting the majority of opioid-related deaths in the city, little is known about people who use opioids, overdose, and die while at home. To learn more about this "hidden" population of drug users, researchers conducted exploratory, in-depth qualitative interviews with their next of kin. Collected in the context o…
Framing Kin Resistance to Opioid Overdose in Philadelphia
Interviews with close kin of those who died from opioid overdose in Philadelphia in 2017 reveal myriad strategies that families employ to minimize overdose risk, secure treatment options, and mitigate everyday precarity that can result from heroin addiction. Their efforts to keep kin alive - at times contradictory, conflicted, desperate and, in the end, ineffectual - reveal deeply situated structural vulnerabilities. When understood as "resistanc…
Legacies of the war on drugs
Feminist In/Visibilities
US feminist grassroots organising of the 1960s positioned its critique of domestic violence within a social analysis of class, race, sexuality and gender. In subsequent decades, feminist organising largely shifted to service provision which brought collusion with state entities and police in the quest to criminalise domestic violence. Criminalisation introduced a demand for corroborative evidence including the use of photographs to ‘prove’ violen…
Memorializing Dinah and Reckoning with Enslavement
Inequality in Bronze is a two-year project (2018–20) reckoning with the history of slavery at Stenton, a plantation house museum in Philadelphia, by commissioning a new memorial to Dinah, a woman enslaved at the property in the mid-1700s. Drawing on data collected throughout the project, this article argues that historic house museums need to move from “community participation” to “community integration” in their efforts to forefront racial equit…
Epistolary storytelling
This article presents a series of letters the authors exchanged while conducting ethnographic research in Belize and Ghana. The letters reveal an affinity between feminist ethnographic praxis and a politically attuned epistemology of the senses, what the authors call a sensory feminist orientation to scholarship. Expanding on criticism of the way sensory hierarchies inform Western knowledge-building, the authors reevaluate their own epistolary ex…
Introduction to Paul Stoller's sensory poetics
To accept sensuousness is ... to lend one’s body to the world and accept its complexities, tastes, structures, and smells ... sensuous scholarship is ultimately a mixing of head and heart. It is an ope
Make of this Whatever You Want
Over the course of ten years, during the first Saturday in May, photographer Zoe Strauss exhibited photos for three hours on cement pillars beneath elevated portions of Interstate 1-95 in Philadelphia. Strauss’s street photographs are often violent and unapologetic: a woman unzips her jeans to show a hysterectomy scar; another woman huddles to light a crack pipe; a vacant - eyed elderly woman stands in an abandoned lot clutching a dog, her unbutt…
Yaya's story
Gendering the Burden of Care
Belizean health policy supports a primary health care (PHC) strategy of universal access, community participation, and multisectoral collaboration. The principals of PHC were a key part of Belize's emergent national identity and built on existing community-based health strategies.Ethnographic research in western Belize, however, reveals that ongoing health reform is removing providers from participatory arenas. In this article, we foreground a pa…
Community Engagement in Precarious Times
