Active for Health Rotherham: be active to stay healthy
2019
Background Active for Health is a physical activity and sport programme that aims to make it easier for people with a long-term condition (cancer, stroke, cardiac, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lower back pain, a recent fall or fracture) to become more physically active in a safe way. To achieve this, the programme provides a seamless pathway of care from clinical rehabilitation services, including cardiac rehabilitation and cancer treatment delivered within the National Health Service (NHS), through to community physical activity provision. Active for Health adopts a multiagency approach that unites partners across local government, public health, NHS, leisure and sport to deliver system-wide change that aims to raise awareness of the physical, psychological and social benefits of physical activity.

How to Be a Real Girl: Authenticity and Mediated Girlhood in Black Mirror's \Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too\
2023
Rachel (Angourie Rice) and her sister Jack (Madison Davenport) embody two versions of girlhood that can be mapped onto a series of binaries: cheerfulness and broodiness, conformity and rebellion, optimism and cynicism, light and darkness, mainstream and underground. While the former, in this case Rachel, is celebrated as \"optimistic, self-inventing, and success-oriented.\" the latter, in this case Jack, is the object of moral concern due to her \"juvenile delinquency, nihilism and antisocial attitudes\" (24). In all these ways, this paper explores how the Black Mirror episode \"Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too\" interrogates the often-blurry line that divides the real from the manufactured, specifically through the ways whereby it unsettles the borders between the celebrity image and one's authentic self, between the human and the non-human, and between pop music and alternative rock. Nowadays, Disney's so-called \"tween machine\" (Borstin and Wheat) spreads beyond television and into multiple forms of media and merchandise, and it possesses star-making power, as is demonstrated by some of the big names in acting and music that got their start as tween Disney stars, like Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and, more recently, Zendaya. 2 As Blue explains in Girlhood on Disney Channel, through its promotion of girl performers, Disney Channel continues to portray and shape an idealized version of girlhood that corresponds to Harris's can-do girls, who are \"identifiable by their commitment to exceptional careers and career planning, their belief in their capacity to invent themselves and succeed, and their display of a consumer lifestyle\" (13).

\Goin' to the Chapel of Love\: Teenage Bridal-Think in Mid-century American Popular Culture
2018
A wedding was the inaugural event in the establishment of a strong household that maintained clearly defined gender roles. [...]a wedding signified a young couple's commitment and financial solvency, while a hasty courthouse marriage could signal capriciousness and a lack of emotional maturity, if not an unexpected pregnancy. Advertisers presented these products as \"the material representation of marriage and love,\" stand-ins until young women found the \"right one\" (134). [...]sterling silverware might plausibly be seen as \"one half of a love match\" (134). According to comic book logic, though, since Linda has not had an affair with a married man or stolen any fortunes, she still deserves a shot at happiness. According to one newspaper account, she was granted the divorce a little more than a year after their marriage because her husband was, she said,\"“cold to me and showed me no affection in any way\" (\"Divorce Granted\" 13).
