This article presents insights from research investigating the end-of-life needs of Aboriginal and culturally and linguistically diverse people living in Western Sydney, Australia. This region has a large rapidly growing, and highly diverse population and on average low socioeconomic status. The research was guided by an advisory panel made up of representatives of supportive and palliative medicine, bereavement support, Aboriginal health, and multicultural health facilities. It aimed to generate findings to support the delivery of culturally sensitive services in the public health system.MethodThe multi-method design and the conduct of the research were informed by the literature on researching with marginalized groups which highlights the ethical considerations needed to avoid replicating past injustices. Qualitative data was generated from key informants and...

The role of art therapy, a predominantly non-verbal mode of creative expression, is under-explored in this context.AimsTo determine whether art therapy service provision was associated with a reduction in restrictive practices on an acute inpatient child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) unit.MethodsThe rate (events per 1,000 occupied bed days), frequency (percent of admitted care episodes with incident), duration, and total number of incidents of restrictive practices occurring between July 2015 – December 2021 were analysed in an ABAB design. The rate, frequency and number of incidents of intramuscular injected (IM) sedation, oral PRN (as-needed medication) use, and absconding incidents occurring in conjunction with an episode of seclusion or restraint were also analysed.ResultsThe rate, frequency, duration, and total number of incide...

This lively and accessible book draws upon a variety of theories to examine the social structures at the heart of capitalist economies. It considers how capitalism is constituted, the institutions that regulate economic processes in market society and the experience of living in contemporary market societies. Market Society: History, Theory, Practice provides students of both political economy and economic sociology with a more nuanced understanding of how markets and people interact and how this relationship has influenced the nature and structure of modern economies

The project, Recovering Creativity: Understanding the role of art in mental health recovery through the voices and images of people with lived experience of major mental illness, was conducted from 2015 through to 2016.

The project, which is a partnership with RichmondPRA, will explore how art making within a supportive context influences the recovery, identity and social inclusion of people living with a major mental health issue.

This has bequeathed an understanding of markets as spheres of free exchange between autonomous, asocial individuals. Moreover, this understanding of markets is often reflected in mainstream public policy discourse. Yet the orthodox approach to understanding markets has proved inadequate for conceptualising the observed nature, practice and evolution of 'actually existing markets' (Chester 2010) in capitalist economies. As a result, it is contested on many fronts.

The rhetoric of sustainability was utilised as a discursive frame for consolidating a neoliberal economic restructuring.

Pluto Press, London, New York; and Spinifex Press, North Melbourne, pp. 324, RRP $39.95 This book comprises a diverse set of writings at the interface of political economy, ecology and feminism. It engages theory and practice, drawing inspiration from the many indigenous, peasant, worker, ecological and women's movements challenging the economic dimensions of oppression. Its engagement with the concept of 'eco-sufficiency' highlights the notion of 'provisioning' as the fundamental economic process. In doing so, the book moves beyond a concern with the appropriation of surplus labour in production to a concern with the 'embodied debt' owed to unpaid reproductive workers who generate use-values and regenerate the conditions for production (both women and men). However, it is also concerned with the injustices involved in the 'appropriation of people's livelihood res...

We examined the world of work and consumption and areas of life that are often seen as ‘outside’ the economy, even though they support its reproduction. In this chapter we focus on civil society. Unlike families, work and the natural environment, which existed in various forms prior to the development of capitalism, many view civil society as a uniquely modern development – but one that provides a space outside the bureaucratic imperatives of the state and the profit motive of the market. It is a space where values are formed, debated and contested and, therefore, where the very operation of market society itself is shaped. However, the nature and significance of civil society and its relationship to the capitalist economy is contested. In this chapter we explore three different understandings of civil society and how such ideas can be applied to different contemporary debates: first, the classical l...

The advocacy of property rights in environmental management is taken further in the libertarian ‘free market’ approach and this ‘privatisation’ perspective is reflected in the growing use of property rights instruments in climate change policy. This article examines the efficacy of using economic instruments in the environmental context where ‘market ecology’ promotes the commodification of environmental ‘goods' and ‘bads' and their management by market forces. It argues that the pricing of ‘nature’ or its useful properties is a crude abstraction that implies ecological values can be alienated, but this is incompatible with the material and relational qualities of such values. The limits of this conceptualisation are further demonstrated through an examination of the Kyoto...
