My article 'Care without heart: kinship, chronic illness, and the emotion of care in Delhi" is finally published. In it, I explore emotional terrains of kin care and its limits, and how they are entwined with chronicity and temporality of chronic illness tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…


Ethnographic research findings shared by Newcastle University Kate Gibson and Bethan Griffith, looking at local #SocialPrescribing intervention in our region. Fascinating insights and perspectives of service users, link workers and primary care teams.
