“I am not officially a public health person”
Informal risk work carried out by people in their daily lives has been less studied. • Everyday risk practices outside of one’s profession is defined as informal risk work. • We examined how people managed the pandemic risks through qualitative interviews. • Informal risk work includes minimizing risk, mutual caring, and balancing risks
Images of Law and Violence in Everyday Life
Building upon Stewart Macaulay's earlier observations that spectator sports convey important images and meanings about legal authority in everyday life, this review considers how organized sports constitute an influential field of legality. Focusing on the regulation of violence, we explain how the management of on- and off-field violence helps to ensure the social acceptability of certain forms of aggression and secures the profitability of comm…
Addressing Gender Inequity in Australian Sports Leadership
Despite the growth in women's sport, decision-making positions in sports organizations remain dominated by men. This paper examines efforts to improve gender balance in roles of leadership using two Australian governing bodies as case studies. To understand how organizations address gender disparities in leadership and high-performance coaching roles, we analyze public-facing strategies and data collected through interviews with participants work…
Unblackboxing How Sociotemporalities Inform AI Accountability
In recent years, numerous accountability interventions have been introduced to address the harms and inequalities associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. Early efforts concentrated on transparency and explainability, often operationalized as technical fixes intended to “open the black box” and render algorithmic processes more intelligible. However, sociological research has revealed the limitations of these interventions, particula…
A5.4 - Ultrasonic phased array interface using programmable I/O and microprocessor clock synchronisation
Counting women
Despite the increasing visibility of women's sports in Australia, women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions within sports organisations. Many sporting organisations have responded by developing strategies to improve the gender balance of their leadership, often focusing on quantifying the number of women in leadership roles. We examine this 'counting women' paradigm as an example of what anthropologist Sally Engle Merry has de…
Bad adopters or bad proponents of technology? Facebook and the violence against Muslims in Myanmar
The violence towards the Rohingya people in Myanmar has been well documented, with Facebook serving as a key site for the proliferation of anti-Muslim hate speech in the country.There are differing explanations as to the extent and significance of its role in contributing to this conflict.Some analyses have cited Myanmar's internal deficiencies, framing the country as a bad adopter of technologies.These depictions rarely consider the broader cond…
Creating a New Normal? Technosocial Relations, Mundane Governance and Pandemic-Related Disruption in Everyday Life
In many parts of the world, individuals and groups have managed significant disruptions prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This article draws on data collected through interviews with 40 Australia-based participants regarding their day-to-day routines and technological engagement as they navigated mobility restrictions intended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease. We use insights from Science and Technology Studies to shed light on h…
Navigating a public health crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic required people to navigate complex information landscape situated in changing and uncertain environments. In places like Australia, where rigid restrictions were in place for over a year, most did so from their homes. Although expert advice cautions that inflexible government measures undermine compliance, research indicates that many Australians demonstrated both willingness and intention to follow these preventative measu…
Necrocapitalism in the Gig Economy
Although recent deaths of multiple couriers on the road have raised awareness of the dangers of on‐demand food delivery, there remains limited government regulation of the industry in many jurisdictions. In this article, we argue that the labour conditions of platform couriers in Australia constitute a case of necrocapitalism (Banerjee), a contemporary form of accumulation through which organisational structures harness the power of debilitation …
Body-worn cameras, police violence and the politics of evidence
Public demands for greater police accountability, particularly in relation to violence targeting Black and Brown communities, have placed pressure on law enforcement organisations to be more transparent about officers’ actions. The implementation of police body-worn cameras (BWCs) has become a popular response. This article examines the embrace of BWCs amidst the wider shift toward evidence-based policing by scrutinising the body of research that…
Situating questions of data, power, and racial formation
This special theme of Big Data & Society explores connections, relationships, and tensions that coalesce around data, power, and racial formation. This collection of articles and commentaries builds upon scholarly observations of data substantiating and transforming racial hierarchies. Contributors consider how racial projects intersect with interlocking systems of oppression across concerns of class, coloniality, dis/ability, gendered difference…
Whiteness in and through data protection
This article analyses apps and artificial intelligence chatbots designed to offer survivors of sexual violence with emergency assistance, education, and a means to report and build evidence against perpetrators. Demonstrating how these technologies both confront and constitute forms of oppression, this analysis complicates assumptions about data protection through an intersectional feminist examination of these digital tools. In surveying differe…
Financialization and Welfare Surveillance
In light of concerns that the technologies employed by the digital welfare state exacerbate inequality and oppression, this article considers contemporary shifts in the administration of social assistance. Specifically, it examines the surveillance of recipients of government income support focusing on marginalized peoples in two jurisdictions: social security recipients subject to the Cashless Debit Card (CDC) in Australia, many of whom are Indi…
The Datafication of #MeToo
This article illustrates how racial capitalism can enhance understandings of data, capital, and inequality through an in-depth study of digital platforms used for intervening in gender-based violence. Specifically, we examine an emergent sociotechnical strategy that uses software platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to offer users emergency assistance, education, and a means to report and build evidence against perpetrators. Our an…
Testing for Athlete Citizenship
Incidents of doping in sports are common in news headlines, despite regulatory efforts. How did doping become a crisis? What does a doping violation actually entail? Who gets punished for breaking the rules of fair play? In Testing for Athlete Citizenship, Kathryn E. Henne, a former competitive athlete and an expert in the law and science of anti-doping regulations, examines the development of rules aimed at controlling performance enhancement in…
A criminal mind? A damaged brain? Narratives of criminality and culpability in the celebrated case of Aaron Hernandez
This article examines the media discourse surrounding the life and death of former National Football League player Aaron Hernandez, who died by suicide while incarcerated for first-degree murder. As a postmortem analysis found evidence of notable degenerative brain disease, differing explanations and speculations remain about the causes of his criminal behavior. This analysis illustrates how journalistic narratives attribute Hernandez’s criminali…
Intersectional Criminologies for the Contemporary Moment
This article reflects on the growing acceptance of intersectional criminology alongside emergent challenges of the contemporary moment. In light of social changes, the article asks: What is important about intersectionality and its relationship to criminology? How might we sustain and nurture these crucial dimensions and connections? Exploring answers to these questions, we consider how to retain intersectional commitments in areas of increasing …
Criminalization
Anthropologists have had a long‐standing interest in crime and criminalization in different parts of the world. Although criminal anthropologists of the late nineteenth century influenced understandings of criminals and criminal behavior through an embrace of social Darwinism and positivistic methods, anthropological inquiries on criminalization have since problematized beliefs about who commits crime and what constitutes lawbreaking across socie…
Gender and Race, Intersectionality Theory of
Despite long‐standing concerns around gender and race as distinct issues, critical commentaries on the intersections of gender and race often emerge as peripheral concerns in mainstream anthropology. This is despite the widespread recognition of intersectionality, a concept aimed at unpacking how gender, race, and other social orders come to inform oppression in distinct and varied ways. What conditions undermine a wider embrace of intersectional…
Dilemmas of Gender and Global Sports Governance
Most research on global sports policy either negates or underappreciate perspectives from the Global South. This article incorporates Southern Theory to examine how Northern worldviews profoundly shape gender-specific sports policy. It highlights two dilemmas that emerge, using illustrative case studies. First, it considers questions of gender and regulation, as evidenced in the gender verification regimes of track-and-field. Then, it addresses t…
Shifting risk to the frontline
An extensive body of safety literature and research discusses the integral role of rules and procedures in managing workplace hazards, ensuring worker safety, and safeguarding the environment. Nevertheless, organizational accidents and workplace injuries continue to occur, and individual employees often bear the brunt of responsibility. This paper examines how risk becomes shifted to individuals at the bottom of supply chains, focusing on two dif…
Indicator culture in sport for development and peace
This article analyses sport for development and peace (SDP) governance, focusing specifically on the role of indicator culture. It examines how different actors inform SDP governance, drawing upon data collected as part of a larger, multi-sited ethnographic research project. It utilises actor–network theory as its analytical guide, which enables deeper consideration of how bureaucratic mechanisms, measurement and evaluation practices, political a…
The Straight Dope on Regulating Fair Play in Sport
Why do so many athletes seem to be cheating? Kathryn Henne delves into the rules surrounding doping and gender in sport
Defending Doping
Despite the growing research on doping in sport, there is little analysis of the sanctioning process. This article contributes to remedying this gap by examining anti-doping rule violation hearings heard before the California State Athletic Commission. Drawing upon qualitative fieldwork informed by socio-legal approaches, it explores how athletes articulate defenses against formal accusations of doping. Their performances reveal broader power rel…
Mapping the margins of intersectionality
This article contributes to recent discussions around intersectionality, a framework that captures how two or more axes of subordination overlap in practice, and its utility for criminology. Even though intersectionality offers an analytic through which to account for discursive dimensions of marginalization, feminist criticisms of intersectionality’s proliferation across disciplines suggests that the concept needs to be revisited. After contextu…

The Emergence of Moral Technopreneurialism in Sport
This article focuses on the early work of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Medical Commission's anti-doping policies as a unique form of moral entrepreneurship. As the concept suggests, the Medical Commission's rule-making power relied, in part, on members' expertise and their status as elites. It also came to depend upon technopreneurialism, that is, entrepreneurial scientific innovation, particularly in relation to methods of detecting…
Reforming Global Sport
In light of recent controversies in global sport, this article surveys the challenges of pursuing transparency in this particular domain of governance. Although corruption in sport is attracting more scholarly attention, there remains little sociolegal research that reflects critically on corporate governance in sport and its implications. This article outlines current calls for greater transparency in global sport and considers how capitalistic …
Wada, the Promises of Law and the Landscapes of Antidoping Regulation
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) spearheads the international campaign against doping in sport, working within and across nongovernmental and legal spheres. This article examines WADA's organizational structure as a hybrid entity that operates between formal law and informal regulation. It analyzes the events that led to WADA's establishment, the rhetoric in which policy makers have lobbied for more legalistic measures, and the unforeseen side…

The “Science” of Fair Play in Sport
This essay reflects on the history of gender verification regulations aimed at female athletes in international sport and the justification for this practice under the rationale that it protects fair play in women’s sport. Beginning with the most recent guidelines for women participants proposed in 2011 following the controversy around the 800-meter world champion runner Caster Semenya, this analysis looks at the politics—gendered, scientific, an…
