Happy to see this out in one of my fave journals - led by @crismontenegro.bsky.social We unpack distinct contributions of PPIE & qual sociology, suggest why they are at times conflated, and why they shouldn't be.

We started working on this in 2021 and there is *finally* a physical copy of the book in my hand. It feels great that other people can now read all the great work that's in this collection. It is available as a free e-book and in paperback: bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/recalibratin...

the guidance also proves what @luberropizzarossa.bsky.social & I have argued: that telemedicine reified medicine & law’s exceptionalising of abortion, extending its reach into the home rather than (as hoped) liberating it from these institutions. doi.org/10.1016/j.ws...

All using/interested in evaluating natural experiments in #publichealth and #hsr welcome!

Honest question: what has changed in psychiatry since the widespread embrace of “lived experience” in research and policy? Has training changed? What about core principles, diagnostic criteria, forms of treatment, and so on? What are the key changes?

"What is the purpose of research in a context of utter injustice?" Palestinian psychiatrist Samah Jafr asks us the question of our time, at this wonderful event to celebrate @seyeabimbola.bsky.social's new book book last night. Thank you, panel & @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social

Thinking this morning on @seyeabimbola.bsky.social 's image of calls for "more research" as arodan - the fool's errand, distracting our focus from all we already know about injustice and health. Wonderful event 🙏 @crismontenegro.bsky.social @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social

In sociology journals (and broader discussions), when I use Luhmann, I’ve often been asked, “Why not Bourdieu?” Fair enough, I guess? But I’m almost certain that if I used Bourdieu, I’d rarely be asked, “Why not Luhmann?” And honestly, I don’t think Bourdieu would be very happy being a “standard”...
