Building a French Florida
In the 1960s, the French state began an ambitious tourism project, known as the Mission Racine, to transform the Languedoc-Roussillon coastline into a major tourist destination. The state envisioned modern resorts supported by new infrastructure, reshaping 180 km of the Mediterranean coast. This development responded to both national and regional economic challenges, particularly the region's declining wine industry, and sought to compete with Sp…
Estimating the costs and quality of life impact of vision loss in the population aged 50-80 years in Malta
Background: Visual impairment and related ocular conditions impose substantial direct, indirect, and intangible costs, encompassing healthcare expenses, productivity losses, and reduced quality of life. Despite the global relevance of visual impairment, no comprehensive cost analysis has yet been conducted in an older adult Maltese population aged 50-80 years. Methods: Prevalence estimates from the population-based Malta Eye Study were used to ca…
My Vision Isn’t The Only One”
School counseling is built on the American School Counselor Association National Model (2019, 2025), which includes heavy emphasis on individualist-focused student standards and isolationist practice (Drake et al., 2024b). While the field has undergone some revision, we continue to lack methods for visioning and visions for abolition in our praxis. Without liberatory visions for abolition, our traditional approaches and models of school counselin…
Surviving Sustainability
The quest for ecological sustainability—specifically via prioritizing degrowth—creates significant, often overlooked challenges for the chronically ill. I focus on type-1 diabetes, treatment for which depends on nonrenewables and materials implicated in the global proliferation of toxins that harm biospheric functions. Some commentators suggest obliquely that seeking to develop ecologically sustainable treatments for type-1 shouldn’t be prioritiz…
Pope Leo IX
“[Leo] to work for the reform of the Church” (1883)1 “a great reforming pope” (1889)2 “the first pope who desired reform” (1924)3 “the reformer Leo IX” (1935)4 “the great reform pope” (2005)5 “the reform minded ... Leo IX” (2015)6 These interpretations and descriptions of Pope Leo IX (1049–1054) illustrate clearly the predominant historiographical view of Leo for the last 136 years. During this period, the overriding emphasis has been on Leo as a…
Food in America
This three-volume work examines all facets of the modern U.S. food system, including the nation’s most important food and agriculture laws, the political forces that shape modern food policy, and the food production trends that are directly impacting the lives of every American family. • Examines a breadth of contemporary food controversies and offers diverse viewpoints on them, placing these perspectives fairly into a broader historical context …
Food Deserts, Capabilities, and the Rectification of Democratic Failure
Food deserts include any area in the industrialized world in which reasonably priced, nutritious food is difficult to obtain. They constitute a pressing public health concern insofar as food desert inhabitants disproportionately suffer from a variety of diet-related conditions. Amartya Sen has written extensively about famine as a failure of functional governance. I draw on these considerations to defend two claims. First, the perpetuation of foo…

Religion in the public sphere
Commonplace among deliberative theorists is the view that, when defending preferred laws and policies, citizens should appeal only to reasons they expect others reasonably to accept. This view has been challenged on the grounds that it places an undue burden on religious citizens who feel duty-bound to appeal to religious reasons to justify preferred positions. In response, I develop a conception of democratic deliberation that provides unlimited…
Food and Drink in American History
This three-volume encyclopedia on the history of American food and beverages serves as an ideal companion resource for social studies and American history courses, covering topics ranging from early American Indian foods to mandatory nutrition information at fast food restaurants. The expression “you are what you eat” certainly applies to Americans, not just in terms of our physical health, but also in the myriad ways that our taste preferences, …
Forecast analysis of the incidence of tuberculosis in the province of Quebec
While the incidence of tuberculosis in the Province of Quebec is expected to decrease overall, certain populations will remain at risk
In Defense of Homelessness
Political deliberation and the challenge of bounded rationality
Many proponents of deliberative democracy expect reasonable citizens to engage in rational argumentation. However, this expectation runs up against findings by behavioral economists and social psychologists revealing the extent to which normal cognitive functions are influenced by bounded rationality. Individuals regularly utilize an array of biases in the process of making decisions, which inhibits our argumentative capacities by adversely affec…
Beyond Information
More and faster information will transform our experience of healthcare, according to policymakers, while social theorists have argued that medicine has become 'informatized': a new medical paradigm is being shaped. We question both the policy-led conflation of 'information' and 'healthcare' and ideas about the extent of the informatization of medicine, by exploring how these ideas resonate in medical work, revisiting our studies of expertise in …
Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food
Eating junk food and fast food is a great all-American passion. American kids and grownups love their candy bars, Big Macs and supersized fries, Doritos, Twinkies, and Good Humor ice cream bars. The disastrous health effects from the enormous appetite for these processed fat- and sugar-loaded foods are well publicized now. This was particularly dramatically evidenced by Super Size Me (2004), filmmaker Morgan Spurlock's 30-day all-McDonald's diet …
The Ethical Dimension of Work
My contribution intends to show that the traditional philosophical concept of work (Marx, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Marcuse, Arendt, Habermas, and the rest) leaves out a crucial dimension. Work is reduced, for example, to the interaction with nature, the problem of recognition, or economic self-preservation. But work also establishes an ethical relation having to do with the needs of others and to the common good—a view of work that should be of partic…
Equality and Justice
The processes associated with globalization have reinforced and even increased prevailing conditions of inequality among human beings with respect to their political, economic, cultural, and social opportunities. Yet—or perhaps precisely because of this trend—there has been, within political philosophy, an observable tendency to question whether equality in fact should be treated a as central value within a theory of justice. In response, I exami…

Ethics and Ethnography
In this article, the authors discuss an ethical dilemma faced by the first author during the fieldwork of an ethnographic study of expertise in anesthesia. The example, written from the perspective of the first author, addresses a number of ethical issues commonly faced, namely, the researcher-researched relationship, anonymity and confidentiality, privacy, and exploitation. She deliberates on the influences that guided her decision and in doing …
