Lights, camera, behaviour change
There is an urgent need for scalable interventions that can shift societal norms and human behaviour to address the global sustainability crisis. With its extensive reach and cultural influence, mass media is a critical yet underutilised tool in this effort. This paper presents a novel, real-world study to explore the effectiveness of promoting residential energy efficiency through a reality-style television show. Behavioural science principles w…
Indigenous borders
Tx’otx’ and la defensa del territorio
This article examines the way the Maya-Mam, an Indigenous people divided by the Guatemala–Mexico border, define territory in relation to and across state borders. As state borders geographically, socially, culturally, and politically divide the pueblo Mam, state maps bolster these divisions and state subjugation by promoting a nation-state framework that circumscribes the Mam within its borders. However, the Mam are problematizing state depiction…
Center for Mental Health Research and Innovation in Treatment Engagement and Service (MH-Rites Center) at the University of Houston
The Center for Mental Health Research and Innovation in Treatment Engagement and Service (MH-RITES Center) at the Graduate College of Social Work, University of Houston is an international multidisciplinary research center focused on improving treatment engagement and outcomes for those experiencing mental health concerns. Established in 2017, the mission of the MH-RITES Center is to drive empirically supported and evidence-based innovation that …
Signifying “Americanness”
This article examines the narrative identity work that undocumented youth activists used to shift the boundary of and claim membership in the social category “American.” Despite the seemingly inflexible, legalistic way American is conventionally defined in the United States (as a native-born or naturalized citizen), activists adopted a fluid interpretation that made room for them. Our theoretical contribution centers on articulating how the const…
Embodying Inequality
This article analyzes the effectiveness of an activity we developed to help students better understand intersectionality. Intersectionality is an analytic concept that signifies ways that inequalities may overlap to create unique forms of privilege and subjugation. In the activity, students use assigned vignettes from the perspective of research participants in our own ethnographic data (including excerpts from interviews and field notes) to inte…
The Spatiality of Boundary Work
How does the collective identification of indigenous peoples who span contemporary state borders align with and diverge from those borders? This article analyzes how the Mam, an indigenous people divided by the Guatemala-Mexico border, identify collectively. We further existing sociological literature on collective identity “boundary work” by demonstrating how it is shaped by spatial, and not just symbolic, boundaries. Mam individuals and organiz…
Measuring Deliberative Conditions
Drawing from the literature on deliberative conditions, we analyze thirty years of verbatim transcripts of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The transcripts provide a rare opportunity for the systematic empirical analysis of deliberative conditions. The importance of the FOMC, and its recent policy failures, makes the case particularly interesting. Deliberative scholars argue that deliberation should occur in a setting where participants …
The effect of “sunshine” on policy deliberation
How does an increase in transparency affect policy deliberation? Increased government transparency is commonly advocated as beneficial to democracy. Others argue that transparency can undermine democratic deliberation by, for example, causing poorer reasoning. We analyze the effect of increased transparency in the case of a rare natural experiment involving the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). In 1994 the FOMC began the delayed public releas…
One State, Many Nations
Still Seeking Recognition
As recent research demonstrates that recognition-based reforms have not addressed many of the substantive demands of indigenous movements, many scholars claim that the movements have moved beyond recognition to focus now on the effects of neoliberal capitalism and material claims. However, setting aside formal recognition of indigenous peoples as a focus of analytic concern may have the unintended effect of drawing attention away from two issues:…
The Mountain Agenda
Searching for "biodiversity" on the web produces an overwhelming amount of hits. While wetland, marine and coastal habitats, and forests are well represented, it seems that mountain ecosystems receive little attention. Some recent initiatives have been taken to preserve biodiversity in mountain environments and promote activities focusing on sustainable development and conservation. The following web sites were chosen because of their significanc…

Accuracy of recall by middle-aged participants in a longitudinal study of their body size and indices of maturation earlier in life
The validity of long-term recall and current assessments of height, weight, and fatness relative to peers was investigated among 91 middle-aged participants in a longitudinal growth study. The recollections of 50-year-old participants concerning perceived body size in comparison to peers during childhood (aged 5-7 years), adolescence (aged 10-18 years), and at ages 30, and 40 years were compared with physical measurements taken at these times. Co…
Longitudinal analysis of incomplete adolescent data
An approach is illustrated for the analysis of longitudinal variables collected during adolescence. Since the method requires complete data, three techniques are compared for application when some individuals have missing values. These methods are implemented in a study of systolic blood pressures and dietary fat intakes collected longitudinally in adolescent girls. The value of adolescent systolic and fat variables in predicting systolic pressur…
Accuracy of recalled smoking data
Validity of recalled cigarette data was assessed among 87 middle-aged adults by comparing recall to longitudinal records. Agreement on smoking status and amount smoked 20 years ago occurred for 87 per cent and 71 per cent of subjects, respectively. Corresponding proportions for 32-year recall were 84 per cent and 55 per cent. Gender did not influence recall accuracy. Ex-smokers tended to make the most errors. Accuracy of recalled smoking informat…
Adolescent menstrual characteristics as predictors of gynaecological health
Ina sample of 54 women who have participated in a longitudinal study since birth there is a significant relationship between adolescent menstrual characteristics and gynaecological health as measured by GYNDEX (Gardner 1982) in the second and third decades postmenarche. The menstrual characteristics were recorded in health histories taken in the 1940s as part of a yearly evaluation of growth, development and health status. Using stepwise multiple…
Changes over thirty years in an index of gynaecological health
The gynaecological index (GYNDEX) was developed to facilitate observing differences in gynaecological health among and between groups of women. It takes into account menstrual characteristics, premenstrual changes, and gynaecological diagnoses and treatments. The objective of this study is to contribute to knowledge of the changes in gynaecological health at different times in the reproductive life cycles of women and to develop a measurement tec…
Mineral resources of Fort Defiance and Tohatchi quadrangles, Arizona and New Mexico
The 15-minute Fort Defiance and Tohatchi quadrangles lie south of latitude 36 degrees and include a part of San Juan Basin, New Mexico, as well as the bordering region in Arizona. The area contains a part of the synclinal "Gallup embayment," a part of the Defiance uplift and monodine, the southern end of the high Chuska Mountain plateau, and the north end of the lower Manuelito Plateau. Smaller features are the Todilto Park dome and Buell Park di…
