Enacting Equality in Organizations
The authors report the results of an intervention designed to trigger cultural change in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics academia. Drawing on Dobbin and Kalev’s managerial engagement approach, the authors mobilized faculty members as change agents by teaching them to deliver a prosocial bystander intervention curriculum to their students. Observations and in-depth interviews with faculty members reveal how opportunities to commi…
The BBC and the Rise and Fall of the Empire Radio Feature, 1932–1966
This chapter examines the “empire feature,” a distinctive element in British and Commonwealth international broadcasting from the 1930s to the 1960s. Empire features combined recorded and live “sounds”—“actualities”—from around the British Empire and Commonwealth and often included the voices of “ordinary” people. They were used to evoke a sense of imperial unity and to promote themes of social and economic progress. Typically broadcast on Christ…
Building a high school violence prevention app to educate and protect students
The hostile learning environment and academic disruptions that result from high school violence underscore the need for prevention education. Technology can facilitate the dissemination of educational content, prevention tools, and resources to students. We describe the three-phase iterative process that engaged high school students, administrators and staff, and parents to develop and refine the school safety mobile application (app), uSafeHSTM.…
Impacts of Covid-19 on Research Productivity
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in productivity losses, particularly for early career researchers (ECRs) who do not have the same track record as their non-ECR colleagues. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to examine differences in time allocation and research productivity outcomes between ECRs and non-ECRs at a Carnegie Classification R1 University in the United States. We quantitatively and qualitatively examined differences in tim…
Sexual and Relationship Violence Among LGBTQ+ College Students
Although there has been increased attention to campus sexual and relationship violence (SRV) because of Title IX and the #MeToo movement, much of that attention has focused on victimization of cisgender heterosexual women. This scoping review uncovers information from empirical studies on what is known about LGBTQ+ (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and nonbinary) students’ experiences of campus SRV. Using rigorous scoping review …
Broadcasting in the Cause of Peace
This article provides a major reassessment of interwar ‘wireless internationalism’, arguing that in the light of recent work on the wider history of internationalism, attempts to harness radio broadcasting to promote peace and mutual understanding among nations take on fresh significance. It uses previously neglected archival sources to explore how initiatives designed to amplify the benign, pacific effects of ‘wireless’ culminated in the League …

Academic and Career Outcomes Following Sexual Assault in Early Adulthood
Young adults (aged 18-24) who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) report high rates of sexual assault (SA) victimization, yet much of the research on adverse outcomes resulting from SA has overlooked LGBQ+ victims. A probability-based sample of 901 adults was recruited to examine the negative academic and career outcomes attributed to SA during early adulthood among LGBQ+ cisgender women. LGBQ+ women were more likely to report ne…

Over the last four decades, Michael Palmer has played a key role in pioneering the academic study of the history of international news agencies. Working alongside, and often in collaboration with
Exploring the Usage of a Violence Prevention and Response App Among Community College Students
Sexual assault is a significant problem on college campuses. To date, much of the research on prevention and response has been conducted with students enrolled at traditional 4-year institutions. Limited research exists on 2-year institutions (also known as community colleges), which enroll a more diverse population (e.g., economic, gender, racial, and ethnic minorities) who are more vulnerable to victimization. Yet, 2-year institutions have few …
Sexual Assault Prevalence and Community College Students
Recently, much research has been dedicated to understanding how to prevent and address the aftermath of sexual assault (SA) on traditional 4-year college and university campuses in the United States. However, less scholarly attention has been paid to 2-year institutions, commonly known as community colleges. This review illuminates the different situational contexts faced by community college students, compared with students at 4-year colleges. T…
Disclosure of Sexual Violence Victimization and Anticipated Social Reactions among Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Community College Students
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) college students report significantly higher rates of sexual violence victimization than their heterosexual counterparts. The additional stressors (e.g., discrimination) that sexual minority populations face may impact their decision to disclose victimization and anticipated social reactions. Therefore, we compared rates of disclosure and anticipated social reactions of lesbian/gay, bisexual, and heterosexual comm…

A Collaborative Community College Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Effort
Although 2-year institutions report higher rates of sexual violence (SV) than 4-year institutions, few resources exist to address SV on these campuses. The present study describes and assesses the impact of a 3-year initiative to engage personnel and students at seven 2-year colleges and community professionals to increase the effectiveness of SV prevention and response strategies. We administered a climate survey during the first and third year …

Multiple sexual violence prevention tools
Purpose Sexual violence prevention programs on college campuses have proliferated in recent years. While research has also increased, a number of questions remain unanswered that could assist campus administrators in making evidence-based decisions about implementation of prevention efforts. To that end, the field of prevention science has highlighted the need to examine the utility of booster sessions for enhancing prevention education. The purp…

Reducing Sexual Assault on Campus
I examined similarities and differences between the movement to prevent drunk driving of the 1980s, and current efforts to prevent and address campus sexual assault. As college and university administrators design policies and initiatives to reduce campus sexual assault in response to new federal legislation and regulation, they can apply lessons from successful public health initiatives to reduce drunk driving initiated more than 3 decades ago. …

Global History, Imperial History and Connected Histories of Empire
The turn towards Global history shows no sign of abating. It seems that across the discipline, historians are becoming increasingly interested in understanding the past on a planetary scale. Prominent Imperial historians, in particular, have been among the most fervent advocates of Global history. So close are the concerns of some Imperial history-particularly British Imperial history-to those of Global history, that it is getting harder to disen…

Changing Attitudes About Being a Bystander to Violence
Bystander approaches to reducing sexual violence train community members in prosocial roles to interrupt situations with risk of sexual violence and be supportive community allies after an assault. This study employs a true experimental design to evaluate the effectiveness of Bringing in the BystanderTM through 1-year post-implementation with first-year students from two universities (one rural, primarily residential; one urban, heavily commuter)…
Integrating Service Learning into the Research Methods Course
In the fag 2000 semester, an assistant professor and her graduate teaching assistant incorporated a service-learning project into their research methods course in an effort to engage more students in the course. The project allowed the students to apply their newly acquired research methods skills to a "real world" organization serving their immediate community, the university. This paper, which proceeds in four sections, discusses how we incorpo…
Empowering Bystanders to Prevent Campus Violence Against Women
Researchers at a midsized public northeastern university evaluated the efficacy of a poster campaign to determine if students increase their knowledge of prosocial bystander behaviors and willingness to intervene in instances of sexual violence after viewing a series of campaign posters where student actors model appropriate bystander behaviors. During the last week of the campaign, undergraduates were invited to participate in a Web survey. The …
The Imperial Significance of the Canadian–american Reciprocity Proposals of 1911
This article builds on the recent willingness among British, Canadian, and imperial historians to question older national histories, and to re-examine how the divergent societies, economies, and polities of the empire once interacted in a wider ‘British world’. It argues that the press acted as a key mechanism for the transmission of political ideas through the permeable internal boundaries of empire. This is demonstrated through analysis of cont…

Jingoism, Public Opinion, And The New Imperialism
This essay analyses late-Victorian understandings of the relationship between the press, imperial diplomacy, and popular enthusiasm for empire, and examines how newspapers explained their own role in the imperial rivalries of the 1890s. During imperial disputes between Britain and France (particularly the Fashoda crisis) and between Britain and the USA (the Venezuela boundary dispute) contemporaries claimed that self-interested ‘jingo’ elements o…

Richard Jebb, John S. Ewart and the Round Table, 1898-1926
During the early twentieth century the idea of imperial federation was revived by Lionel Curtis, the founder of the Round Table group. However, Curtis did not succeed in generating much support in the settler Dominions (which were central to his schemes) for either an imperial parliament or an imperial cabinet. Curtis's failure has often been interpreted as proof of an inevitable clash between British ‘imperialism’ and the ‘nationalism’ that was …

Empire, Cultures and Identities in Nineteenth‐ and Twentieth‐Century Britain
Over the last twenty years, historians have sought to gauge how the experience of establishing an empire overseas impacted upon the ways that British people thought about themselves and the world around them. As evidence has accumulated, so an increasingly heated historical debate about the exact significance of that source material has been generated. This article looks at where this controversy has taken us, assessing the range of evidence avai…

The Roots of an Imperial Press System
News and the British World
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa were increasingly drawn together by an imperial press system. This is the first scholarly study of the development of that system. Revealed to contemporaries by the South African War, the basis on which the system would develop soon became the focus for debate. Commercial organizations, including newspaper combinations and news agencies such a…

Hospitals
Hospitals are institutions where people in need of medical care receive medical and surgical treatment from trained professionals. The discovery of antiseptics and medical technological advances transformed the American hospital from the death and poor houses of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the cornerstone of today's medical care (Starr 1982). The twenty‐first century American hospital provides the sick, injured, and healthy with a …

During the later 1930s the BBC made more progress with its imperial mission, expanding its domestic monopoly of broadcasting into a monopoly over broadcasting to the empire from Britain.

Broadcasting Empire
This book analyses the attempts of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to use broadcasting as a tool of empire. From an early stage the corporation sought to unite home listeners with their counterparts in the wider British world, particularly in the British settler diaspora in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The BBC saw this as part of its public-service mandate, and also as a means to strengthen its position at home: by…
