Belonging and not belonging : understanding India in novels by Paul Scott, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and V.S. Naipaul.
No full textPhDThis thesis is essentially about the "how" and "why" of the Indian
experience as documented in novels by Paul Scott, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
and V S Naipaul. The study points to the difficulty of arriving at any
conclusive definition of the country and its people. I show that
differences in attitudes, responses or behaviour are both overt and
subtle, and depend upon whether the writer or the character identifies
with the situation or community with which he or she interacts. It is
the individual's sense of belonging or not belonging to his or her own
group - be this along racial, cultural or gender lines - that accounts
for the differing perspectives evident in these novels. The points-of-
view of the outsider and the insider can therefore be seen as
mutual comments upon the other.
Since the struggle between belonging and not belonging becomes acute
when the old meets the new, focus is centred on communities
experiencing change. These include the British in India, West-Indian
Indians and westernised Indians. Despite their differences, all three
communities share similar reasons for either an acceptance or
rejection of the 'Other'. The thesis argues that the need for
emotional stability compels allegiance to the traditional group, while
the desire for individuality encourages surrender to the new. The
former nurtures a sense of belonging while, it is argued, that the
latter is perceived as the hallmark of those who do not belong.
Tensions arise when both these needs demand to be met. What I show to
be ironic in this struggle between belonging and not belonging is that
those things which individuals overtly reject are often unexpressed
parts of their personal pysche. The barrier between "them" and "us" is
therefore very fragile

Depathologising Gender: Vulnerability in Trans Health Law
No full textThis chapter challenges how gender has been positioned under the control of health professionals in the regulation of trans bodies. Trans people have formed complex relationships with health professionals, whose influence is often crucial in determining access to body modification treatments including hormones and surgeries. Having previously argued that this constitutes an overreach of medical jurisdiction, this chapter is more forward-looking, assessing the potential of a human right to depathologisation. After deciding that latent risks in this strategy might outweigh potential benefits, we propose an alternative agenda which understands trans bodies, and the institutions which regulate their access to health care, as vulnerable. This change of emphasis offers key insights which could benefit the activists and scholars engaged in the trans depathologisation movement

Professor of Jewish Studies / Associate Director, Center for Christian-Jewish Learning, Boston College
Ruth Langer is professor of Jewish studies in the theology department and associate director of the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College. She received rabbinic ordination in 1986 and a Ph.D. in Jewish Liturgy in 1994 from Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati. The current chair of the Council of Centers on Christian-Jewish Relations, she has for many years been co-editor of the council’s electronic scholarly journal Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations. Dr. Langer is the author of many scholarly articles and book chapters and her own book Cursing the Christians? A History of the Birkat HaMinim (2011) combines her two major scholarly interests: the development of Jewish liturgy and Jewish-Christian relations. This volume traces the transformations of a Jewish prayer that was, in its medieval forms, a curse of Christians, from its putative origins in the early rabbinic period, through its censorship by the church, into an inoffensive prayer that asks God to rid our world of evil. Dr. Langer is also the author of To Worship God Properly: Tensions between Liturgical Custom and Halakhah in Judaism (1998), the co-editor of Liturgy in the Life of the Synagogue (2005)

Asking more of qualitative synthesis: a response to Sally Thorne
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from SAGE Publications via the DOI in this record.We continue the conversation initiated by Sally Thorne’s observations about ‘metasynthetic madness’. We note that the variety of labels used to describe qualitative syntheses often reflect authors’ disciplines and geographical locations. The purpose of systematic literature searching is to redress authors’ lack of citation of relevant earlier work and to reassure policy makers that qualitative syntheses are systematic and transparent. There is clearly a need to develop other methods of searching to supplement electronic searches. If searches produce large numbers of articles, sampling strategies may be needed to choose which articles to synthesize. The quality of any synthesis is dependent on the quality of the primary articles; both primary research and qualitative synthesis need to move beyond description and towards theory and explanation. Synthesizers need to pay attention to those articles which do not seem to fit their emerging analysis if they are to avoid stifling new ideas.Nicky Britten, Ruth Garside and Julia Frost were partially supported by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care South West Peninsula (PenCLAHRC).
