Caregiving Across the Life Course
ObjectivesThis study examined how caregiving intensity, duration, and labor type are associated with physical and mental health among family caregivers (FCGs) across life-course stages.MethodsUsing cross-sectional data from 2,610 FCGs in the 2024 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, we applied multivariable logistic and linear regression models stratified by life-course stage.ResultsWomen had 65% higher odds of depression than men (aOR = 1…
Inclusive Emergency Preparedness as a Lever for School Improvement
Emergency preparedness is a critical priority in schools as institutions seek to ensure the safety of students, including those with disabilities amid rising concerns over natural hazards, community violence, and public health crises. This mixed-methods study explores the relations between school personnel’s familiarity with Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs), often referred to as Emergency Response Plans (ERPs), and their perceived preparedness t…
Collaborative Interaction as a Pathway to Realized Publicness
Public administrators perform distinct tasks in modern governance, responsible for ensuring that government actions serve the public good. As governance increasingly relies on nongovernmental actors, this responsibility has grown more complex. This is particularly true in open space policy, where land trusts have become major actors in private conservation efforts. While effective in preserving land, these efforts often fall short in serving broa…
The public sector hold-up problem
A recent wave of government contract cancellations under Termination for Convenience (TfC) clauses underscores the risks embedded in contemporary public contracting. These clauses, designed to preserve flexibility, have increasingly shifted from safeguards of last resort to instruments of routine discretion, exposing suppliers to sudden termination regardless of performance. We theorize this as the public sector hold-up problem, where relationshi…
One school-university partnership model – ten years on
School experience is a critical element of initial teacher education and school-university partnerships are central to the effectiveness of school experience. At the time of writing, the University of Glasgow has operated a Partnership Model of school experience for over ten years. This paper describes the development and evolution of our institution’s specific version of a partnership model as observed by ten colleagues who undertook a range of …
Magazines as contradictory spaces for alcohol messaging
BACKGROUND Women’s magazines provide a space in which gendered norms around alcohol-related practice are (re)-produced. They act as important points of reference for women to draw upon in their own understandings of alcohol use within their identity making. Studying the alcohol-related messages women’s magazines disseminate is therefore an important line of inquiry. METHODS An analysis of textual and visual alcohol depictions, including alcohol a…
Community‐Engaged Sociology Within an University‐Based Research Center
In this article, I focus on community‐engaged sociology (CES) conducted by faculty members, in partnerships between universities and community partners, and situated within the context of a university‐based research center (UBRC). There has been scant research on UBRCs and their impacts, and I highlight the role that these centers can play in contributing to or impeding outcomes in CES. Beginning with an overview of the institutional context with…

Serving as ambassadors of hope
Through our work with Ambassadors for Hope (a community organization advocating on behalf of children with incarcerated parents), we argue for a broader understanding of public sociology as community-based research and engagement, where academic sociologists and community stakeholders engage in fluid discussion and collaboration. We further delineate four aspects of public sociology as community-based engagement, and their associated challenges: …

A Pilot Study of Wichita Indian Archeology and Ethnohistory
In 1965 several anthropologists drew up plans for a one-year pilot study of the archeology and ethnohistory of the Wichita Indian tribes. After financial support had been generously provided by the National Science Foundation, the proposed research was carried out. This is a report on the results of that study. The pilot study was designed to: a) obtain a body of field data from the components of the Spanish Fort sites, the largest and best=docum…

Challenging Baedeker Through the Art of Sexual Science
This article examines Curt Moreck’s illustrated Guide to “Depraved” Berlin (1931). It questions the publication’s synonymy with Weimar’s so-called sexual ‘liberation’ by exploring its ambiguous description of illegal male and female homosexual nightspots alongside the author’s significant use of Jeanne Mammen’s illustrations and his commissioning of the artist Christian Schad. By doing so, it suggests the book’s connection to erotic dealers, publ…
Adam Smith's "Collateral" Inquiry
In his Life of Adam Smith, Dugald Stewart notes that Smith was “always disposed to ascribe to custom and fashion their full share in regulating the opinions of mankind with respect to beauty.” Indeed, Stewart refers to this as a “collateral” inquiry within The Theory of Moral Sentiments. This article examines what Smith has to say about fashion and attempts to identify in what sense it is “collateral” to the main inquiry of The Theory of Moral Se…

The Use of Contemporary Harvest Data as a Means of Thinking about Prehistoric Resource Depression
The presence/absence of faunal remains are often used to suggest that shifts in prey choice reflect resource intensification or depression. The archaeological record, however, is typically incomplete owing to issues of discovery, preservation, and data recovery. Though analysis of faunal assemblages provides some indication of diet breadth, they provide little insight as to the relationship between resource potentials and human population densiti…
Wrestling with Intellectual Diversity in Public Administration
Public Administration (PA) is a field characterized by great diversity in theoretical approaches and methodological tactics. This wide scope lends itself to potential epistemological and methodological fragmentation, which prevents scholars from adequately appreciating and building on each other's work. Although many scholars value PA's theoretical and methodological diversity, this intellectual diversity brings some important trade-offs that mus…
Measuring Subjective and Objective Well-being
Well-being is an important indicator of how participants in an industry are doing. Since the 1970s, anthropologists have been developing and utilizing as an indicator, along with identifying the advantages and disadvantages of such a metric. Building on this experience, a index is useful if it (1) is easily developed from available data; (2) enables temporal and spatial comparisons; (3) can be applied at multiple scales; and (4) possesses subject…
Brain Size, Cranial Morphology, Climate, and Time Machines [and Comments and Reply]
A bioclimatic model is evaluated as an explanation of variation in cranial capacity among 122 ethnic groups. Distribution of absolute and relative endocranial volume is mapped. Significant correlations occur with all nine climatic variables examined. Major foci of adaptation occur with solar radiation, vapor pressure, and winter temperature. Global mean trait increase is 2.5 cm per degree of equatorial distance. The interactive geometry between c…
Climate and the evolution of brachycephalization
Significant associations of cranial shape for 82 ethnic groups and seven climate variables are described. Variation among current populations is partially attributed to cold adaptation throughout the Pleistocene. Application of data files tabulated by the authors is described for a number of problems. Temporal distribution of 115 specimens indicates a geometric trend (CI = 76.7 – 1.96 log time × 10 3 ). Cranial indices are summarized within alter…

Becoming Full Citizens
Few studies of social movement political success investigate the strategic and tactical approaches used to achieve positive political outcomes. This work investigates a rarely studied mobilization of U.S. women in the first half of the 20th century to explore how movement organizations bring about legal change. Archival data for 15 states are examined to investigate how women won the right to sit on juries. The authors argue that jury movement ac…
School-to-Work Transition
Pedagogical alternatives for preparing students to make the transition from school to work are examined and synthesized into six key components needed for successful school-to-work transition programs. These key components include coordinated, nonfragmented services; strong education-business partnerships resulting in paid work experiences; relevance in the learning process through linkage of instruction and work; early and continuing career coun…
Patterns of Wealth Concentration
Community wealth created from improvements in production techniques and by economic development takes two forms. One is absolute changes in quantity. The other is relative changes in the pattern of distribution. Because units of wealth are unstandardized, communities are difficult to compare based on absolute wealth differences. Four patterns of wealth distribution-hyper and normal equality, status and hyper inequality-reflect relative difference…

Claish, Stirling
The excavation of a long timber-built structure of the early Neolithic near Callander (formerly Perthshire, now Stirling Council area) is described. The remains appear to be those of a structure measuring a maximum of c 24m by 8.5m with roughly straight sides and curved terminals, both of which have entrance gaps. About 1m in from both terminals is an arc of five posts; the interior is divided into between five and seven sections by these arcs an…
Children's rights
It has been argued that judicial decisions are likely to be informed by attention to children's welfare, thus avoiding a proper recognition of children's rights. This paper explores the debate through detailed discussion of recent cases where courts have primarily been concerned with a child's right to consent, or to refuse their consent, to medical treatment, and a child's right to initiate or complete certain legal proceedings without a guardia…
Resolving allocation conflicts in fishery management
Fishery management conflicts increase as decisions evolve through three stages: conservation, regulation, and allocation. The major sources of conflict in fishery management are increases in the size and effectiveness of user populations, stabilization or decline in the resource base, cultural differences between users, and different goal orientations of users. We present four case studies of Pacific U.S. fishery conflicts, detailing the processe…

Intracultural Variation
Measures other than central tendency are required to develop theories of intracultural diversity. To measure the distribution of wealth, behavior, or ideas in a population, statistical measures of variation can be used. Equity and diversity measures for the distribution of wealth are proposed using the skew and kurtosis statistics. Historical data for four North Pacific fisheries indicate that associated with resource decline is greater inequity …

Comparative Resilience in Five North Pacific Regional Salmon Fisheries
Over the past century, regional fisheries for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) have been managed primarily for their provisioning function, not for ecological support and cultural significance. We examine the resilience of the regional salmon fisheries of Japan, the Russian Far East, Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington-Oregon-California (WOC) in terms of their provisioning function. Using the three dimensions of the adaptive cycle-capital,…
