“…Goodwin, 1990). In the last 6 or 7 years, there has been a dramatic increase in CA and CA‐influenced research on gender and sexuality by feminists and other critical researchers: see, for example, Stokoe (2000, 2005); Speer (2005); Tainio (2003); Rendle‐Short (2005); Weatherall (2002); and several contributions to the collections edited by McIlvenny (2002) and Stokoe and Weatherall (2002) – in addition to our own work, and that of our students, upon which we draw in what follows.…”

Conversation analysis – the study of talk‐in‐interaction – is proving a valuable tool for politically engaged inquiry and social critique. This article illustrates the use of conversation analysis in feminist and critical research, drawing on a range of empirical studies. After introducing conversation analysis – its theoretical assumptions, methodological practices and empirical findings – it highlights projects based on two key conversation analytic domains: turn‐taking and turn design, and sequence organization and preference structure. The final section examines the key contributions of conversation analysis to feminist and critical work in the areas of categories and gender; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues; women's labour; and the politics, ethics and design of the research process.

“…We were interested in what discourses teachers drew on to articulate and render intelligible to themselves and others, their priorities for health and/or physical education teaching in their respective schools. Underpinned by an understanding that what is thinkable, doable in any context is always already linked to the available discursive repertoires (Weatherall, 1992), we wanted to know where teachers get their notions about what constitutes health, what guided their intentions with the particular cohort of students they work with, and how their own values, dispositions and beliefs about health influenced (or not) their teaching of this subject in primary schools.…”

Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education

Adrienne Rich's phrase 'the personal is the political' is well-worn in feminist literature. In a context where health imperatives are deeply embedded in school cultures and programming, we suggest the phrase has renewed purchase. Drawing on the testimonies of three New Zealand teachers, we explore the ways in which personal health dispositions and practices contour what and how physical and health education is envisaged in diverse school contexts and who is regarded as particularly 'at risk' of poor health outcomes. Teachers' perceptions of their students' health needs, their understanding of the role of schools in ameliorating children's health problems and the pedagogical choices made are each, we suggest, intimately linked to their lived histories of 'health', their understandings of their own and others' bodies and their personal convictions about what, for them, constitutes a 'good' and/or 'healthy' life. While the ubiquitous nature of health discourses, particularly those linked to obesity reduction, might at first blush, invoke notions of a shared agenda and a uniform commitment to improving children and young people's health, our analysis points to the diverse ways in which teachers constitute their role as health and physical educators, 'care' about students and teach health and physical education curricula.

“…Presenting himself as the victim ('she'd be, like, the aggressor'), Kevin uses the second person pronoun to suggest that any man would be able to 'take no more'. The idea of a woman 'lashing out with her tongue' references an enduring discourse that derogates women's purported relative articulacy as nagging and controlling [48]. This dynamic of a man rendered silent and hurt by what were described as 'verbal attacks' was presented as the context in which violence could escalate.…”

Introduction and AimsThis paper describes how substance use features in the accounts of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators in treatment in England and Brazil. The aim of the research was to better understand cross cultural constructions of IPV perpetration amongst men in treatment for substance use.Design and MethodsSemi‐structured interviews were conducted with 40 men in community substance use treatment in Sao Paolo, Brazil and London and the South East of England who had reported IPV perpetration in a questionnaire survey. A thematic, narrative analysis was carried out of men's explanations for IPV perpetration.FindingsThree types of narratives were distinguished: (i) disputes, centred on substance use, that escalate to IPV perpetration; (ii) IPV perpetration that is explained by uncharacteristic loss of control, as a result of intoxication; and (iii) IPV perpetration provoked by a perceived betrayal, in which substance use is incidental. In all types of accounts hegemonic principles of male and female roles and behaviour provided a context for and make IPV perpetration explicable.Discussion and ConclusionsSubstance use and IPV are culturally constructed and contextually defined. Understanding the meaning‐making of substance using IPV perpetrators has implications for the treatment of both substance abuse and IPV.
