Re-Introducing Consumption to the ‘Circular Economy’: A Sociotechnical Analysis of Domestic Food Provisioning (2016, background): “In line with Bacchi’s [18] argument that policy gives shape to problems rather than directly addressing them, we suggest this reconceptualization is an important step in promoting ‘circularity’ and the changes in domestic consumption that will accompany it.”
Gender, health and theory: conceptualizing the issue, in local and world perspective. (2012, background): “Poststructuralist thought has offered new ways of understanding policy, as a discursive construction that does not simply reflect interests but actively constitutes them (Bacchi, 2009).”
Hungry for change: the food banking industry in Australia (2014, methodology): “Bacchi (2009) argues we need to shift from problem solving to problem questioning or in other words, questioning how problem framing may imply certain understandings.”
