Abstract:

The contestation of expertise is perhaps nowhere more pronounced than in the field of health and well-being, on which this article focuses. A multitude of practices and communities that stand in contentious relationships with established forms of medical expertise and promote personalised modes of self-care have proliferated across Euro-American societies. Drawing on multi-sited ethnography in three domains – body–mind–spirit therapies, vaccine hesitancy and consumer-grade digital self-tracking – we map such practices through the concept of ‘everyday fringe medicine’.

Abstract:

• Summary: The Australian Prime Minister’s 2008 historic Apology to the Stolen Generations gives Australian social work an opportunity to confront its past complicity in Australian Indigenous disadvantage and embrace the development of Indigenous social work as central for practice. Critical Whiteness1 theory in social work curricula could assist the development of Indigenous social work as a core approach by challenging the ongoing and largely un-reflexive practices emanating from social work’s Euro-centric heritage with its often taken-for-granted knowledges and principles which negatively a

Abstract:

Indigenous peoples are resilient peoples with deep traditional knowledge and scientific thought spanning millennia. Global discourse on climate change however has identified Indigenous populations as being a highly vulnerable group due to the habitation in regions undergoing rapid change, and the disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality already faced by this population. Therefore, the need for Indigenous self-determination and the formal recognition of Indigenous knowledges, including micro-level molecular and microbial knowledges, as a critical foundation for planetary health is in

Abstract:

Contemporary policy responses to environmental risk increasingly endorse the need for community participation in decision making around these issues. It is suggested that this process requires a greater understanding of the social construction of environmental risk which legitimises the knowledges and experiences of community members. Environmental health risks are most commonly framed within the discourses of science and epidemiology. These scientific knowledges construct particular meanings around the risks associated with environmental issues. The 'objective and value-free' context of mecha

Abstract:

Researchers in the area of health and social care (both in Australia and internationally) are encouraged to involve consumers throughout the research process, often on ethical, political and methodological grounds, or simply as ‘good practice’. This article presents findings from a qualitative study in the UK of researchers’ experiences and views of consumer involvement in health research. Two main themes are presented. First, we explore the ‘know—do gap’ which relates to the tensions between researchers’ perceptions of the potential benefits of, and their actual practices in relation to, cons

Abstract:

Climate change poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples around the world. Despite living in diverse contexts, Indigenous peoples face a number of common challenges. Disproportionate threats from climate change exist due to a range of factors including unique relationships with the natural environment, socioeconomic deprivation, a greater existing burden of disease, poorer access to and quality of health care, and political marginalization. Responses to climate change at global, national, and local levels also threaten Indigenous people’s rights. While climate a

Abstract:

We, as a group of academic learners, argue the professionalization of healthcare service providers reinforces hierarchies of knowledge that results in the exclusion of Indigenous Peoples. Through decolonizing theory and Indigenous methodology, we applied Indigenous understandings of relationality and kinship to examine the professionalization of the health workforce. Relationality is a philosophy that describes the interconnections between all of creation and kinship consists of family, community, and all extended human and more-than-human relations.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked controversies over health security strategies adopted in different countries. The urge to curb the spread of the virus has supported policies to restrict mobility and to build up state surveillance, which might induce authoritarian forms of government. In this context, the Copenhagen School has offered an analytical repertoire that informs many analyses in the fields of critical security studies and global health. Accordingly, the securitisation of COVID-19 might be necessary to deal with the crisis, but it risks unfolding discriminatory practices and

Abstract:

Abstract Health inequalities experienced by Australian First Nations People are amongst the most marked in the world, with First Nations People dying some ten years earlier than non-Indigenous Australians. The failure of existing responses to health inequalities suggests new knowledges and questions that need to be explored. It is likely that these new knowledges sit outside of western research or practice paradigms. Through the Indigenous practice of yarning, the importance of worldview and Country emerged as an under-acknowledged social determinant of Australian First Nations People well-bei

Abstract:

A questionnaire on hearing, hearing loss, and hearing health practices was constructed by the authors and completed by 89 school health educators in West Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Results of their responses indicate some deficiencies in knowledge of hearing, hearing loss, and the effect of noise on hearing. Implications of these findings and suggestions for preservice and continuing education programs for school health educators are discussed.

Abstract:

A prospective community-based intervention study was conducted in a slum area of Karachi, Pakistan, with the objective of evaluating the impact of health education on the knowledge of mothers. One hundred and fifty households were studied in the intervention and the same in the non-intervention group. The post intervention knowledge scores of the mothers showed a significant difference of P < 0.05. Nearly 50.7% mothers in the intervention group knew of at least four diseases against which vaccination is given as compared to the non-intervention group ( P < 0.05). Similarly, mothers in th

Abstract:

Mindfulness and wellness practices are increasingly becoming part of the curricular landscape in secondary schools in Canada, particularly with growing attention to the mental health of students during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. This research examines the implementation of a school yoga program introduced to students bubbled in classroom cohorts in a school in Gatineau, Quebec. This paper employs Derrida’s framework of unconditional hospitality to ask whether it is possible for diasporas to reclaim indigenous knowledges through practices of ethical relationality, even as his philosophy brings

Abstract:

AbstractIndigenous peoples have long been successful at adapting to climatic and environmental changes. However, anthropogenic climatic crisis represents an epoch of intensified colonialism which poses particular challenges to Indigenous peoples throughout the world, including those in wealthier ‘modern’ nation states. Indigenous peoples also possess worldviews and traditional knowledge systems that are critical to climate mitigation and adaptation, yet, paradoxically, these are devalued and marginalized and have yet to be recognized as essential foundations of public health.
