Women and girls' organisations (WGOs) are a fundamental part of the voluntary and community sector (VCS) and wider society. They have a unique history and development as a sub-set of the wider VCS and have been pivotal in meeting important needs for women and girls, yet existing analysis of the VCS using data from the Charity Commission for England and Wales (CCEW) has not previously focused on WGOs. The purpose of this paper is to present a feminist approach to identifying and classifying WGOs utilising data from the CCEW register. The paper provides a detailed exploration of the methodological approach and argues that such an approach to compiling and analysing datasets is both necessary and advantageous in exposing areas of power and contestation. The paper provides an original overview of the scope of WGOs in England and Wales between 2008 and 2018 and also demonstrates benefits that can be applied in other classification work within the field.

We first establish what kinds of qualitative data and analysis are used in biological anthropology.

Introduction: As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly integrates into health workplaces, evidence suggests AI can exacerbate gender inequity. Health professional programmes have a role to play in ensuring graduates grasp the challenges facing working in an AI-mediated world.
Approach: Drawing from feminist scholars and empirical evidence, this conceptual paper synthesises current and future ways in which AI compounds gender inequities and, in response, proposes foci for an integrated approach to teaching about AI and equity.

Historical instances of medical racism and the impact of ongoing disparities are an understudied determinant of Black women's sexual health. Here, we use a Black feminist approach to engage Black women in a qualitative exploration of the impact of medical racism on their health-related decision-making. Specifically, we explore the question, how does exposure to information on medical racism impact Black women today and inform their perceptions of healthcare? This qualitative study uses Black feminist approaches to study design including advisory boards, interviewer concordance, and focus group data collection with Black female college students who were in the developmental phase of emerging adulthood, ages 18-25.
