Exploring childbirth experiences through a Salutogenic lens.
Midwifery
December 2024
School of Community Health and Midwifery, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, Lancashire PR1 2HE, UK. Electronic address:
Women's experiences of childbirth have generally been considered through a pathological lens. Wider sociological arguments associated with salutogenesis stress the need to depict health on a continuum to help understand what constitutes positive health as well as ill-health. Similarly, to fully understand women's experiences of childbirth, it needs to be explored on a continuum, considering salutogenic and pathogenic factors.

Among these, a popular application is to decompose contrast-enhanced CT images into virtual non-contrast (VNC) or virtual non-iodine images and into iodine maps. In 2021, photon-counting CT (PCCT) was introduced, which is another spectral CT modality.

Addiction
January 2025
Centre for Alcohol and Drug Research, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Background: This paper invites discussion on whether pleasure should receive more attention in public health-oriented research on alcohol. While there is a history of sociological and anthropological literature exploring alcohol and pleasure, this is much less common in public health-oriented alcohol research, and associated advocacy.
Argument: We propose three broad reasons why more extensive engagement with issues of pleasure may be important for public health-oriented research.
Cultural Factors, Social Structures, and Social Determinants of Health: The Need for Clarity in Assessing Psychopathology.
Harv Rev Psychiatry
October 2024
From Department of Psychiatry and Committee on Global Thought, Columbia University; New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY (Dr. Aggarwal).
Over the past decade, researchers translating anthropological theories for clinical use have debated how practitioners should assess cultural factors, social structures, and social determinants of health with patients. Advocates of structural competency have suggested that clinical cultural competency programs demonstrate limited effects on health outcomes because of the static understanding of culture employed. They recommend that cultural factors be reformulated with an emphasis on social structures.

Can Rev Sociol
January 2025
Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada.
Campus sexual violence complaints involving students might seem easy to record and report, but university campuses in North America have a culture of secrecy and tend to focus on neoliberal approaches. In this paper, I trace the genealogy of a sexual violence policy from an unnamed university to argue that ruling relations make the current provincially mandated stand-alone sexual violence policies into a performative tool that silences expert knowledges, coordinates institutional practices towards a particular type of sexual violence prevention, and re-inforces a broader neoliberal logic in higher education. I explore my argument in the following three sections: the social organization of the policy and prevention campaign, the rules and regulations of the policy, and the neoliberalism of the current sexual violence discourse.
