‘For deterring others from the like practices’
Of the many types of offenders who suffered the punishment of the pillory in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in England, one distinct group was those whose crimes related to the Royal Navy. The Navy's decision to pursue offenders in civilian courts, coupled with its decision to report on offenders, illustrates the importance the Navy placed on the pillory and the civilian courts in curbing fraud, which became a rampant issue from the mid…
Unjust Readings
Unjust Readings: Against the New New Criticism" offers a theoretical and methodological defence of the use of digital humanities methods for literary interpretation. I argue that extant critiques of DH from Fish, Da, Eyers and others depend on an unexamined notion of the appropriate work of the humanities and, in particular, of literary interpretation. Their claim, that critics should simply "just read" obscures the manner in which literary inter…
Fantasies of Recognition
This article locates Austin Clarke’s writing in relation to the contemporary scandals that are transforming Canadian literature. Clarke’s work historicizes the present struggles in Canadian literature to centre Black voices and challenge white supremacy. Furthermore, the monological dimensions of Clarke’s writing challenge notions of multicultural recognition and understanding through dialogue. In a manner that reflects Clarke’s own experience wi…
For a Fair(er) Global History
This article is authored by a group of PhD researchers at the European University Institute (EUI) and two teachers as part of the PhD seminar in Global History held in the Fall of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. We consider three topics: ‘The politics of global history’ thinking about global history as a form of activism; ‘Whose global history?’ considering issues of property and sharing; and ‘An open global history’ proposing a utopian future…

A Note on Cohen's Overlapping Proportions of Normal Distributions
Social scientists are often interested in computing the proportion of overlap and nonoverlap between two normal distributions that are separated by some magnitude. In his popular book, Statistical Power Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences (1988, 2nd ed.), Jacob Cohen provided a table (Table 2.2.1) for determining such proportions from common values of separation. Unfortunately, Cohen's proportions are inconsistent with his explication of the pop…

Text Communication Preferences of Deaf People in the United Kingdom
This study is the only comprehensive survey to date of the text communication preferences of deaf people who cannot or prefer not to use voice telephony in the United Kingdom. Respondents covered a wide age range, became deaf or hard of hearing at different ages, and had different communication preferences. Generally, respondents used several forms of text communication, selecting them for particular purposes. E-mail was the most widely used form…
Street Smarts
Most historians would agree in affirming the importance of transportation in facilitating urban decentralization. However, less is known about the important role of transportation experts in constructing and managing each city's transportation network. This paper explores the role of engineering experts in guiding development of 3 forms of urban transportation facilities and networks: streetcars, highways, and airports. The evolution of the stati…
Personality Differences According to Gender
This study reports on the gender differences in the responses to 34 questions comprising the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, as recorded by 508 males and 873 females who constituted the American standardization group for the questionnaire. The mean difference on the resulting M-F scale is statistically significant, being 2.28 ± 0.30 for the British sample and 5.21 ± 0.26 for the American sample

Prediction of Cancer and Coronary Heart Disease as a Function of Method of Questionnaire Administration 1
We have tested the hypothesis in this study that different methods of administering a questionnaire produce differential approximations to truthful admission of undesirable personality traits and behaviours. Four different methods of administration produced different levels of trust and understanding, using the current prediction among healthy subjects of death by cancer or coronary heart disease 13 years later as the criterion. There were signif…

The Nature of Schizotypy
The matrix of intercorrelations between scales of schizotypy presented by Kendler and Hewitt in 1992 was reanalyzed, and results rather different from those reported by the original authors were found. The new structure shows good agreement with the theory of personality disorder published by Eysenck in 1987. In all, the different scales seem to fall into three groups or factors, identified as Neuroticism (N), Extraversion (E), and Psychoticism (…

Human reactions to reward and punishment
The development of the Gray-Wilson Personality Questionnaire is described; this is an instrument designed to measure human equivalents of six animal behaviour paradigms - Approach, Active Avoidance, Passive Avoidance, Extinction, Fight and Flight. Although these six scales showed satisfactory internal consistency they failed to link up into the three major systems suggested by Gray's personality theory. The strongest associations were between Fig…

Disturbance and the Successional Response of Arctic Plants on Polar Desert Habitats
The present authors have observed during several summer seasons disturbance-induced succession on the Truelove Lowland of Devon Island (76 N) in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. In this paper are presented the results of observations of the successional response of three vascular plant species on polar desert microenvironments subjected to vehicle disturbance. The study area is a post-Pleistocene strand flat on the northeast coast of Devon Island…

Parental characteristics and partner choice
Do girls fall in love with an image of their father? This study tested the hypothesis that, in choosing a partner, people tend to replicate the physical and mental attributes of their opposite-sex parent more than of the same-sex parent. A sample of 314 women, mostly in their late teens and describing themselves as ‘in love’, supplied details of their boyfriends and parents. A tendency for the boyfriend's eye colour to match that of the father mo…
