Purposeful Pathways
Veterans who are unemployed and living with mental health or substance use conditions are in need of integrative interventions that support their career development, mental wellness, and sobriety. However, career development interventions are often developed and implemented separate from mental health services. This paper introduces a novel intervention that supports career development of veterans with mental health and substance use concerns: Pu…
Toward an intersectional Burakuness
The (hi)story of the Buraku minority group in Japan is complex and fragmented, variously tied to living space or profession, the Edo-era mibun caste system or post-liberation migration, personal identification, or family lineage. Japan’s Buraku-focused museums are charged with delineating this multi-layered (hi)story, particularly as it relates to discrimination, a focal point in Buraku notions of identity. Through quantitative content analysis, …

Lighter Fluid or Flame Retardant? Religious Movements and the Rise of Populism in Contemporary Africa
Observers warn that religious movements are fueling populism in Africa, but do religious movements actually promote populist electoral and policy outcomes on the continent? To answer that question, this paper draws from literature on populism, religion, and social movements, while incorporating Afrobarometer surveys from thirty-four countries and original data on the motivations and strategies of activists in Nigeria and Niger. Based this body of…
Crowd Cohesion and Protest Outcomes
Amidst an unprecedented swell in global protest, scholars and activists wrestle with the question of why protests succeed or fail. I explore a new answer: more cohesive crowds, where protesters agree on their demands, are more likely to win concessions than less cohesive crowds. Drawing on psychology and linguistics, I theorize that cohesive demands are more comprehensible and thus persuasive. I test this theory with a multimethod approach. First…
Career Development in Transitional Work Settings
Veterans living with mental health conditions have ambitious career goals and want support to find employment that meets their interests and preferences. Despite calls from researchers to “invest” and “commit” to career development research and practice for individuals living with psychiatric conditions, we still do not have empirically tested models for facilitating career development among individuals with mental health conditions, especially v…
Échec ou succès? Les stratégies de subversion et la gouvernance municipale au Niger
Conventional wisdom suggests that state leaders try to direct resources toward members of their own party and away from their opponents. However, such “strategies of subversion” are more complicated in reality: incumbents do not necessarily favor their co-partisans and sometimes even sabotage them politically. The present article tries to make sense of this apparent paradox, arguing that seemingly irrational political strategies are in fact ratio…
Accidental Scientists
Education advocates lament the “leaky pipeline” in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), whereby students—especially minorities and women—drop out of STEM at successive stages of the educational system. Defining empirical political science as a branch of STEM, this article proposes that undergraduate research in political science can help to patch this leaky pipeline and expand access to scientific skills and habits of mind. I elabor…
Framing Police Violence
State violence against protests often backfires, spurring greater mobilization and demands for police reform. Yet major reforms rarely materialize. How can activists frame contentious events to build support for their policy goals? We examine whether historical frames that draw parallels between past and present episodes of state violence make people more likely to support police reforms. We test our theory with a survey experiment in Chile 15 mo…
Local roots, global vines
Recently human rights movements among Japan's Buraku people have become increasingly globalized, situating the Buraku struggle among those of other caste-based minorities around the world. Scholars have theorized that this globalization manifests in a global-local feedback loop in which decisions made by global and local actors inform one another. In this study, I utilize field research and qualitative content analysis of brochures at three Burak…

Do Americans Really Support Black Athletes Who Kneel During the National Anthem? Estimating the True Prevalence and Strength of Sensitive Racial Attitudes in the Context of Sport
Professional athletes in the United States have protested racism in various ways for decades. Kneeling during the national anthem became a prominent form of such activism, ever since American football player Colin Kaepernick popularized the practice in 2016. “Anthem protests” gained renewed attention after the police killing of George Floyd and nationwide unrest in the summer of 2020. This article explores whether public approval of those protest…

Nation-state or nation-family? Nationalism in marginalised African societies
Scholars have long puzzled over strong nationalism in weak African states. Existing theories suggest that (a) incumbent leaders use nationalistic appeals to distract people from state weakness; or (b) citizens use nationalistic claims to exclude rival groups from accessing patronage and public goods. But what explains robust nationalism in places where politicians seldom visit and where the state under-provides resources, as is true across much o…
Niger falls back off track
In 2001, scholars identified a promising democratic transition in the Republic of Niger, following a coup d’état in 1999. Elites were ‘righting their political ship and getting their economy in order’. Political liberties were ‘generally assured’.1 However, Niger’s political trajectory has dashed these expectations. Elected in 2001, Nigerien president Mamadou Tandja would go on to provoke a constitutional crisis in 2009 and a military coup that u…
Political Protest in Contemporary Africa
From spray-painted slogans in Senegal to student uprisings in South Africa, twenty-first century Africa has seen an explosion of protests and social movements. But why? Protests flourish amidst an emerging middle class whose members desire political influence and possess the money, education, and political autonomy to effectively launch movements for democratic renewal. In contrast with pro-democracy protest leaders, rank-and-file protesters live…
Personal Politics without Clientelism? Interpreting Citizen-Politician Contact in Africa
This study clarifies the meaning of clientelism and documents its extent in sub-Saharan Africa-a region that political scientists and policy makers often view as especially clientelistic. It proposes an understanding of clientelism as personal contact between citizens and politicians in which citizens request selective rather than public goods in exchange for political loyalty. It then suggests that assessments of clientelism in Africa are sensit…

Using Formative Research to Design a Behavior Change Strategy to Increase the Use of Improved Cookstoves in Peri-Urban Kampala, Uganda
Household air pollution from cooking with biomass fuels negatively impacts maternal and child health and the environment, and contributes to the global burden of disease. In Uganda, nearly 20,000 young children die of household air pollution-related pneumonia every year. Qualitative research was used to identify behavioral determinants related to the acquisition and use of improved cookstoves in peri-urban Uganda. Results were used to design a be…
Democratic revolutionaries or pocketbook protesters? The roots of the 2009–2010 uprisings in Niger
This article investigates whether political or economic grievances were the main driver of the mass demonstrations in Niger in 2009–10, which occurred at a time of famine and the President's attempt to defy the constitution and seek a third term in office. Using original survey data from a quasi-random sample of Niamey residents, the article shows that low prospects of upward mobility are associated with a higher likelihood of protest participati…
An Investigation of European American Therapists’ Approach to Counseling African American Clients
Interviews were conducted with 9 European American psychologists, asking them to recall their first 12 counseling sessions with a current or recent successful case with an African American client. Using consensual qualitative research (CQR) methodology, the psychologists revealed that they generally attended to differences in race between themselves and clients directly and openly within the first two sessions. This was done to acknowledge this d…
