RESUMEN
Porn literacy education is a pedagogical strategy responding to youth engagement with pornography through digital media. The approach is intended to increase young people's knowledge and awareness regarding the portrayal of sexuality in Internet pornography. However, what being 'porn literate' entails, and what a porn literacy education curricula should therefore include, is not a settled matter. Recognising the importance of end-user perspectives, 24 semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents, teachers and young people in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and analysed via critical, constructionist thematic analysis. Participants drew on a developmentalist discourse and a discourse of harm to construct porn literacy education as a way to inoculate young people against harmful effects, distortions of reality, and unhealthy messages. In addition to this dominant construction of porn literacy education, we identified talk that to some extent resisted these dominant discourses. Building on these instances of resistance, and asset-based constructions of youth based on their agency and capability, we point to an ethical sexual citizenship pedagogy as an alternative approach to porn literacy education.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Accommodating local knowledge in national ageing policy demonstrates a country's intention to preserve local values, including cultural values of older adults' care. However, including local knowledge must provide space for nuanced and adaptive responses to it so that ageing policies can support families in adapting to changes and challenges around caregiving. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This study interviewed members of 11 multigenerational households in Bali to understand the ways family carers use and resist local knowledge about multigenerational caregiving for older adults. RESULTS: Using qualitative analysis of the interplay between personal and public narratives, we found that narratives of local knowledge provide moral imperatives related to care, which shape expectations and a standard for evaluating the younger generations' behaviour. While most of the participants' accounts fit comfortably with these local narratives, some described challenges in which their life circumstances prevented them from identifying themselves as a virtuous carer. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Findings provide insight into the role of local knowledge in constructing caregiving function, carers' identities, family relationships, families' adaptation, and the influence of social structure (e.g., poverty and gender) on caregiving issues in Bali. These local narratives both confirm and dispute findings from other locations.

Contraceptive providers play an essential role in shaping contraceptive decision-making and care, with the potential to constrain patients' agency. This is a particular concern given the rising hegemony of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) and growing evidence of negative patient experiences of LARC promotion and provision. Despite this evidence, little research has considered health providers' perspectives. Drawing on interviews with 22 contraceptive health providers in Aotearoa New Zealand, this paper explored their professional identity construction, focusing on meaning-making in instances of conflict between providers' and patients' priorities and agendas. Guided by feminist poststructuralist theory, the discursive analysis highlights common rhetorical strategies used by participants to (1) justify the use of coercive practices to encourage LARC uptake, and (2) in turn, negotiate positive identities. Findings show how participants grapple with the reproductive politics structuring contraceptive care, including established understandings of the purpose of (long-acting) contraception and contraceptive providers' roles vis-à-vis provision and promotion. The findings point to limitations on contraceptive agency, despite the unanimous endorsement of rights-based voluntary care. Extending the critical literature on LARC and contributing to the under-researched area of contraceptive coercion and agency, the findings of this study have important implications for the delivery of contraceptive care.

Long-acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) has significant promise both from a public health outlook and a social justice perspective. However, if women's empowerment is to be supported, then perspectives and experiences of LARC must be considered. This scoping review assesses research about contraceptive users' perspectives and experiences of contraceptive decision-making and practices. A content analysis was conducted to identify research trends in qualitative studies of contraceptive-user perspectives (n = 54), located by means of a systematic search. Interpreting findings through a reproductive justice lens, three main limitations in the scholarship were identified, viz., (1) an instrumentalist, individual-level focus; (2) a lack of consideration for diverse perspectives; and (3) an uncritical focus on young women. While the small body of qualitative research on LARC offers some valuable insights, when viewed from a sexual and reproductive justice perspective, it is not sufficiently user-centered or grounded within the reproductive politics surrounding contraceptive care and provision. Research is needed that draws on appropriate social theory; widens its focus beyond dominant groups; and is cognizant of the multi-level power relations surrounding LARC. Such work provides a nuanced picture of the complex social and contextual factors at play and inform person-centered approaches in sexual and reproductive health policy and programming.
