Immersive and experiential approaches in environmental outreach
Introduction Environmental outreach aims to create opportunities for students to engage with nature, but this can be challenging when ecosystems are difficult to access. In such cases, outreach programs often rely on hands-on games and classroom-based activities to foster learning and connection. These approaches, however, cannot replicate the experience of being in the habitat itself. Extended reality (XR) applications, including immersive 360° …
Incorporation without determination
Gramsci’s concept of passive revolution, the selective incorporation of oppositional forces by ruling elites, carries two functions. As a middle-range account of absorption, the term proved durable across settings, but as a macro-historical diagnosis it fractured, yielding opposing conclusions about whether incorporation impedes or advances capitalism. Rather than applying the concept to Iran, I treat Iranian historiographical disputes as a limit…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Hope as Risk and Protective Factors for Mental Health in the Context of Covid-19 Stress
Physical Activity, Seasonal Sensitivity and Psychological Well-Being of People of Different Age Groups Living in Extreme Environments
Physical activity can prevent many organic and mental pathologies. For people living in extreme southern high-latitude environments, weather conditions can affect these activities, altering their psychological well-being and favoring the prevalence of seasonal sensitivity (SS). This study aims to determine the relationships between the practice of physical activity, seasonal sensitivity and well-being in people living in high southern latitudes. …
Capitalism as a Concept of Difference in the Historiography of Iran
In the historiography of Iran, capitalism is commonly evoked as a “concept of difference.” By this, I mean that the term is regularly used to characterize socioeconomic phenomena as modern versus traditional, leading versus laggard, foreign versus indigenous, or hero versus villain in an assumed direction of history. As Jürgen Kocka remarked when coining the phrase, most definitions of capitalism since the nineteenth century have been used by int…
Difference in difference
Three approaches to portraying ethno-racial and national identity for Iran are common: a discretizing approach that groups and conflates ethnicity, language and geography; a civic-territorial conception of nationalism as supra-ethnic Iranian-ness; and an ethno-nationalist approach that criticizes the former for privileging a state-centered, Persian-Shiite majority’s culture and status. Instead of arbitrating between them, we propose a sociologica…
Pandemic Politics in Iran
The Trump administration’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran and its reimposition of US sanctions put the Iranian economy back into a stranglehold and discredited the reformists led by President Hassan Rouhani who had secured the deal. With the country already reeling from the US sanctions, the COVID-19 pandemic has delivered a heavy blow. As political factions mobilize for the 2021 elections, the situation is more unpredictabl…
The Social Question in the Twenty-First Century
Want, disease, ignorance, squalor, and idleness: first recognized together in mid-nineteenth-century Europe, these are the focus of the Social Question. In 1942 William Beveridge called them the “giant evils” while diagnosing the crises produced by the emergence of industrial society. More recently, during the final quarter of the twentieth century, the global spread of neoliberal policies enlarged these crises so much that the Social Question ha…
Do nomenklatura dream of capital strikes
Debates over the relative autonomy of the state have returned to welfare state theory, with an emphasis on the relative.Michael McCarthy's (2017) Dismantling Solidarity: Capitalist Politics and American Pensions Since the New Deal asks us to pay serious attention to the fetters that private capital accumulation clamped on the feet of pension policymakers in the United States over the twentieth century.McCarthy argues that the theoretical action o…
Pen to the tiller
Giovanni Arrighi joined together questions of agrarian political economy with questions concerning the livelihoods of rural migrants and the fate of peasant communities as they dissipated. In this article, we apply Arrighi's concerns to the case of Iran to examine how processes of agrarian transformation link with trends in social stratification and upward mobility. First, we argue that land reform implemented during the reign of Mohammad Reza Sh…
Roads from Calabria
Scholars of agrarian change have long debated the nature of capitalist transition in the countryside, including whether the deepened interlinking of local, national, and transnational economic activities make past trajectories of agrarian transformation unlikely to reoccur in the present. This essay makes the case that Giovanni Arrighi's work has much to add to our understanding of the agrarian question in global historical perspective. We focus …

A Social Revolution
For decades, political observers and pundits have characterized the Islamic Republic of Iran as an ideologically rigid state on the verge of collapse, exclusively connected to a narrow social base. In A Social Revolution , Kevan Harris convincingly demonstrates how they are wrong. Previous studies ignore the forceful consequences of three decades of social change following the 1979 revolution. Today, more people in the country are connected to we…
Making and Unmaking of the Greater Middle East
What longer-run dynamics underlie present realities in the Middle East? Kevan Harris traces changing state formations and social compacts, from decaying Ottoman and Safavid empires, through colonization and postwar corporatism to infitah, authoritarian retrenchment and military intervention
Iran's Uncertain Course After the Deal
The latest political realignment in the Islamic Republic resulted in détente with the West even as regional upheaval has drawn Tehran into overextended military interventions. While Iran's future is uncertain, it is definitely not a hegemon in the making
Notes on the Method of World-System Biography
C. Wright Mills boiled the social sciences down to one sentence: “They are attempts to help us understand biography and history, and the connections between the two in a variety of social structures.” This special issue considers biography as an fruitful entry point into macro-historical sociology. With lineages from Marx and Weber to Wallerstein and Bourdieu, the sociology of the individual can produce a clearer path between the muddy opposition…
The Breakaway Boss
Within a year of becoming president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinezhad had already confused much of the world. Explanations of his political ascent in a semi-peripheral country rely largely on the concept of charismatic authority. This is a non-explanation, however, as the charismatic historical figure who seemingly holds creative command over the social world also has to be created. Instead, I argue that Ahmadinezhad’s traject…
A hidden counter-movement? Precarity, politics, and social protection before and beyond the neoliberal era
The Rise of the Subcontractor State
Since 2009, analyses of Iran have stressed the centralizing takeover of the country's economy by a single state institution, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. At the same time, however, Iran's factionalized political elite uniformly advocate for rapid privatization of state-owned enterprises. Underneath this puzzling contradiction is a complex shift of economic ownership away from the state toward a variety of parastatal organizations inclu…
Changes in the size and shape of fallow deer-evidence for the movement and management of a species
The European fallow deer (Dama dama dama) is native to the eastern Mediterranean and whilst it is clear that its dispersion from this region was the result of human transportation, the timing and circumstances of its post-glacial diffusion are still uncertain. Archaeological fallow deer remains offer perhaps the best opportunity to understand the deep history of the species, with measurements of ancient bones providing important information about…
Special Contribution
iovanni Arrighi (1937Arrighi ( -2009) ) spent his life thinking and writing about what he saw on his well-traveled path: liberation movements in Africa, worker rebellion in Italy, global inequality between North and South, the military and financial limits of US power, and the economic rise of China. In his many articles and books, including an unplanned trilogy on the origins and workings of global capitalism, Arrighi grappled with the complexit…
The Brokered Exuberance of the Middle Class
Based on ethnographic fieldwork and participant observation, this article moves from a microscopic to a wide-angle view to explain the dynamics of the 2009 post-election Green movement in the Islamic Republic of Iran: how it manifested, why it weakened, and who participated. After mapping out the protest wave, I make three main arguments. First, pre-electoral campaigns created spaces for interaction rituals of "brokered exuberance" among particip…
Lineages of the Iranian Welfare State
This article examines the relationship between welfare and state governance in Iran since the 1979 Revolution. It argues that the contemporary set of social welfare organizations in Iran arose as a corollary to post-revolutionary state formation, particularly during the 1980–8 war with Iraq. The Revolution itself resulted in a process of ‘dual institutionalization’ where new revolutionary organizations appeared in tandem with the inherited bureau…

Feminism and Temperance Reform in the Boulder WCTU
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) developed out of the general reform movement gaining momentum in America's post-Civil War period. This movement was in part a reassertion of Protestant-Puritan values such as temperance, honesty, order, and Christian mission in a society apparently threatened by an increasingly Catholic, immigrant population.[1] In part, too, it was a reaction to a shift in influence away from native, middle-class Pro…

Relations between prosodic variables and communicative functions
Three children were observed interacting with their mothers at three different times: before the onset of single words, when vocabulary consisted of 10 words, and when vocabulary consisted of 50 words. Relations between communicative functions and acoustic analyses of prosodie variables (i.e. rise vs. nonrise of terminal contours) were studied. Considerable variability was found among the children in the number of rises produced overall and those…

Negotiating the Maze
The module was developed as an elective to give motivated senior dental students an opportunity to expand their horizons in planning oral rehabilitation. It comprised one tutor and 12 students, from five universities world-wide, communicating on the World Wide Web (WWW), to develop oral rehabilitation plans for simulated patients. Trigger material came from one of two Case Profiles and consisted of diagnostic casts and details of the clinical and…
Health Plan Disenrollment in a Choice-Based Medicaid Managed Care Program
Consumer decisions to switch health plans have implications for quality of care and risk selection. We examine factors related to time to disenrollment in a Medicaid managed care program where beneficiaries face a menu of plans and can change plans every month. Several findings have direct policy relevance. Families and individuals who make active choices upon entering the program are at substantially lower risk of disenrollment than those who ar…
Provider Perceptions of Pharmacy Management
Objective: The objective of this study was to contrast experiences and opinion of providers in military treatment facilities, where a single formulary is used, with those of community providers where multiple formularies and preferred lists are commonly encountered. Study Design: We conducted cross-sectional surveys. Setting: The study was conducted at military and community practices that serve military beneficiaries. Participants: We studied ra…
