The Wrong side of capitalism website highlighted a course sadly indicative of the state (”of disrepute?”) of higher (”than what?”) learning (see also, more recently, University Diaries).

An Analysis of the Motivations and Barriers to UK HE Experienced by African Caribbean Women and Men

Women’s Experiences of Urinary Incontinence

A sociology of bioprospecting and biopiracy

Cultural Constructions of Death in the Irish Catholic Community in Britain

The medicalisation of women’s sexual problems
