Impact of Disrupting WEIRD Epistemic Dominance on Race Awarding Gap
Funder: Brunel University London
Duration: October 2021 - October 2022

Epistemic dominance of Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich, Democratic (WEIRD) societies due to the influence of colonialism / imperialism from countries like the USA and UK historically perpetuated and exacerbated various inequities in the professions / fields of Psychology and Occupational Therapy, including educational inequities related to race. To address these educational inequities, the Psychology and Occupational Therapy Divisions at the College of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences (CHMLS) in Brunel University London (BUL) have developed and implemented concurrent but independent interventions during the 2020 / 2021 academic year which have the shared purpose of disrupting WEIRD epistemic dominance. While both divisions have continued to implement these interventions this academic year, the impact of these educational interventions on student race-ethnicity awarding gaps has yet to be determined. This project aims to refine the above-mentioned educational interventions in relation to addressing the specific educational inequity of the race-ethnicity awarding gap, through understanding the impact of these interventions on the quality of racially minoritized undergraduate students’ relationships with their educators.

Breastfeeding ideology, expectation and reality: Gaining a real-time understanding of breastfeeding experience using an innovative mobile app
Funder: British Academy
Duration: April 2021 - October 2022

Despite widespread promotion that ‘Breast is Best’, breastfeeding rates remain low, particularly in the UK. Public health messaging, by presenting breastfeeding as ‘natural’, ‘easy’ and ‘good,’ may be underpreparing women for the challenges of breastfeeding, as well as marginalising and stigmatising those who struggle to breastfeed or choose alternative methods of infant feeding. This messaging, we suggest, creates additional barriers to breastfeeding. However, we currently lack large scale, quantitative data able to untangle cause from effect; a reliance on retrospective methodologies has impeded understanding of how prior expectations interact with women’s real-time experiences that ultimately influence infant feeding decisions. We will address prior methodological limitations by developing and piloting an innovative mobile application (app), to collect daily data on women’s infant feeding experiences and decisions. The app will allow mothers to track their own feeding journeys, whilst facilitating exploration of breastfeeding narratives and feeding behaviour in unprecedented depth.
