Constructing the Settler Colonial Determination of Health
Indigenous communities have long identified settler colonialism as foundational in conditioning health and wellbeing, and its role as a structuring force is increasingly recognized within population health. Yet analytic frameworks in the health sciences have limitations in representing its causal dynamics, with dominant epidemiologic approaches relying on causal assumptions-linearity, discrete exposures, and stable pathways-that are misaligned wi…
Meningitis outbreak in Gaza
BOX The genocide in Gaza has resulted in conditions that foster detrimental public health conditions leading to infectious disease outbreaks
Hospital functionality in the Gaza Strip
This study provides additional evidence that the Gaza Strip's hospital system was directly affected by the first year of the conflict, greatly impacting the ability to provide critical health services
Interrogating the role of sociopolitical determinants of health in Palestine
For decades, Palestinians have faced significant barriers to developing and accessing basic health services, leading to poor health outcomes. These issues are often characterized as mere 'humanitarian issues,' ignoring the broader sociopolitical context. This study aims to explore the discourse surrounding the structural and sociopolitical determinants shaping Palestinian health. We conducted in-depth interviews with experts ( N = 15) on Palestin…
Framing Gaza
A main feature of the Israeli genocide in Gaza has been the systematic destruction of the healthcare system. The Israeli military has methodically generated conditions that drive disease, disability, and death, while simultaneously dismantling the capability of the health system to respond. Despite a purported emphasis on issues such as health equity and social determinants of health, many influential medical bodies across the world have failed t…
A right to health denied
Since October 7 2023, attacks on healthcare facilities, healthcare providers, and universities alongside restricted aid entry by the Israeli military has significantly obstructed the ability to provide oral health services in the Gaza Strip
Structural racism and diminished health returns on education among Palestinian refugees in Lebanon
Expanding trauma education during war
Introduction: On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale offensive in Ukraine, resulting in significant casualties to civilians, including children. As part of a seven-stream trauma education initiative, a novel pediatric trauma fundamentals course (PTF) was developed to provide standalone pediatric trauma education by our academic/NGO partnership. The objective of the program was to develop, implement, and evaluate a novel PTF educationa…
Civilian mortality and damage to medical facilities in Gaza
Are hospitals collateral damage? Assessing geospatial proximity of 2000 lb bomb detonations to hospital facilities in the Gaza Strip from October 7 to November 17, 2023
After attacks in Israel led by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023, Israel launched a major military campaign in the Gaza Strip that has featured an unprecedented scale of destruction. This has included the use of highly destructive weapons in a densely populated area. Mark-84 bombs (M-84s) are 2000 lb air-dropped explosive munitions with the capacity to damage infrastructure and kill or cause severe injury hundreds of meters away. This study exam…

A decolonial anthropology
The 2022 meeting of the Group for Debates in Anthropological Theory (GDAT) Social Anthropology, University of Manchester. The motion is, of course, a riff on Audre Lorde's well-known 1984 claim that 'the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.' Lorde is asking about the tools of a racist and constitutionally excl…
How to write about African universities
He may have died tragically young, but Binyavanga Wainaina's brilliance lives on. His caustic skewering of white journalism - 'How to write about Africa' - was first published in Granta in 2005 (Wainaina 2005). It remains a vital anti-guide to sweeping generalizations and cheap condescension. By comparison, writing about African universities should be easy. After all, aren't most of us already insiders within, if not institutionalized by, higher …
To Chester and Beyond: Meaning, Text and Context in Early English Drama
Because its power remains naturalized
Indigenous people suffer earlier death and more frequent and severe disease than their settler counterparts, a remarkably persistent reality over time, across settler colonized geographies, and despite their ongoing resistance to elimination. Although these health inequities are well-known, they have been impervious to comprehensive and convincing explication, let alone remediation. Settler colonial studies, a fast-growing multidisciplinary and i…
‘The Towneley Plays’ or the ‘Towneley Cycle’?1 (1986)
Part 5
In this section, five authors reflect on Sue Wright's academic trajectory, her work in creating disciplinary and interdisciplinary networks and her engagement – as both an activist and scholar – in institutional change-making. They also reflect on her research on university reform, neoliberalisation and higher education futures
Post-continentalism
Difficult Folk?
How should we tell the histories of academic disciplines? All too often, the political and institutional dimensions of knowledge production are lost beneath the intellectual debates. This book redresses the balance. Written in a narrative style and drawing on archival sources and oral histories, it depicts the complex pattern of personal and administrative relationships that shape scholarly worlds. Focusing on the field of social anthropology in …
Decolonial perspectives on global higher education
The expansion of university systems across the planet over the last fifty years has led to the emergence of a new policy assemblage – 'global higher education' that depends on the collection, curation and representation of quantitative data. In this paper I explore the use of data by higher education policy actors to sustain 'epistemic coloniality'. Building on a rich genealogy of anticolonial, postcolonial and feminist scholarship, I show how de…
Applications of Anthropology
At the beginning of the twenty-first century the demand for anthropological approaches, understandings and methodologies outside academic departments is shifting and changing. Through a series of fascinating case studies of anthropologists’ experiences of working with very diverse organizations in the private and public sector this volume examines existing and historical debates about applied anthropology. It explores the relationship between the…
Getting by in a bibliometric economy
Why are Nigeria's universities launching a growing number of open access journals while simultaneously expecting their academic staff to publish 'internationally'? And what impact do these expectations have on Nigerian journals? Drawing on interviews with editors and publishers, we describe the emergence of a hyperlocal 'credibility economy' within the Nigerian academy. The great majority of Nigerian scholarly journals are excluded from Scopus an…
Admitting otherwise
The difficult work of decolonizing UK anthropology teaches us important lessons about our field. Rethinking the curriculum may be the easy part. Making university admissions fairer is a harder task. The biggest challenge of all is transforming the institutional cultures and demographic profile of anthropology’s students and faculty. The Covid-19 pandemic showed that rapid change is possible: its aftermath is an opportunity for more radical rethin…
Contribution of women’s fisheries substantial, but overlooked, in Timor-Leste
A greater understanding of gendered roles in fisheries is necessary to value the often-hidden roles that women play in fisheries and households. We examine women’s contributions to household food and income using focus group discussions, market surveys, and landings data in six communities in Timor-Leste. Women were actively fishing more days per month than men. Gleaning was the most frequent activity and 100% of trips returned with catch for foo…
Opening up knowledge systems for better responses to global environmental change
Linking knowledge with action for effective societal responses to persistent problems of unsustainability requires transformed, more open knowledge systems. Drawing on a broad range of academic and practitioner experience, we outline a vision for the coordination and organization of knowledge systems that are better suited to the complex challenges of sustainability than the ones currently in place. This transformation includes inter alia: societ…

Time for School'? School fees, savings clubs and social reciprocity in Uganda
The past 25 years have witnessed sweeping educational reforms in Uganda. The introduction of 'free' Universal Primary Education (UPE, in 1998) and Universal Secondary Education (USE, in 2007) has raised social expectations about access to quality education. Over the same period the population of young people in Uganda has also grown dramatically. As a result hundreds of new primary and secondary schools have been established across the country. T…

Have We Ever Taught Anthropology? A Hidden History of Disciplinary Pedagogy
This paper seeks to puncture three powerful myths about the teaching and learning of anthropology that have circulated within and beyond the discipline. Questioning this mythology, I offer some alternative histories of the discipline, uncovering forgotten debates about training for fieldwork, textbooks, and teaching anthropology in schools
Projected climate change impacts on skiing and snowmobiling
We use a physically-based water and energy balance model to simulate natural snow accumulation at 247 winter recreation locations across the continental United States. We combine this model with projections of snowmaking conditions to determine downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling season lengths under baseline and future climates, using data from five climate models and two emissions scenarios. Projected season lengths are comb…
Winter mortality in a warming climate
In temperate climates, mortality is higher in the winter than the summer. Most wintertime deaths are attributed to cardiovascular and respiratory disease, with hypothermia from extreme cold accounting for a negligible share of all recorded deaths. International and national assessments of the health risks of climate change often conclude that increased temperatures from climate change will likely reduce winter mortality. This article examines the…
Gender, disembodiment and vocation
Anthropologists have developed an important corpus of work on embodiment and social agency. But what of the academic bodies involved in the production and reproduction of these ideas? Is an institutional habitus of scholarly disembodiment one consequence of contemporary academic practice? Drawing on research and our own experiences, we describe what we see as the 'disembodied vocationalism' fostered by departmental and institutional cultures. Usi…
Life on the Hill
How will history judge British late-colonial efforts to export its model of higher education to Africa? In this article I challenge any simple interpretation of the 'Asquith Commission' university colleges - such as Makerere or University College Ibadan - as alien impositions or colonial intellectual 'hothouses'. Focusing on Makerere University in Uganda, and drawing on a variety of archival and personal sources, I show how its students and facul…

Teacher or Anthropologist? Pedagogy and Ethnographic Sensibility
Do we need a journal dedicated to teaching in anthropology? Despite spending much of their professional lives teaching, few anthropologists take the time to write about their own pedagogic insights and practices. This journal acknowledges the parallels between teaching and anthropology, seeks to promote research and reflection on pedagogy, and advocates a form of teaching informed by an ethnographic sensibility

Idea of Loyalty in Upper Canada, 1784-1850
Loyalty evolved as the central political idea in Upper Canada during the first half of the nineteenth century. It formed the basis of political legitimacy and acceptance into provincial society. David Mills examines the evolution and development of the concept of loyalty, placing special emphasis on the contribution of moderate reformers

Chester ceremonial
During the last two decades the interests of scholars of early drama and of urban historians have found common ground in the study of urban celebration and ceremonial. For the student of early drama the beginnings of this interest coincided with a redefinition of the area and nature of the study of early drama, a shift in emphasis from the textual and literary problems of the few extant dramatic texts to the circumstances and conditions of their …

Least‐Cost Planning and Electricity Industry Reform in Australia
Least‐Cost Planning played a key role in the development of the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries in the USA. It has not been widely used elsewhere, largely due to differences in other nations' regulatory environments and the emergence of competitive markets as the dominant paradigm for electricity planning. Least‐Cost Planning, however, may offer valuable insights for creating regulatory frameworks for competitive electricity mar…

Egyptian investment in the Sudan
The Condominium era of Sudanese history, 1899-1956, provides scholars with a unique opportunity to examine the complexities of nationalist movements. Because of prior Egyptian governance of the region, because Egypt financed and provided most of the military support in the reconquest, and because claims of restoring Egyptian control of the Sudan were useful in deflecting European criticism of British expansion in Africa, Egypt and the United King…

Made in Manchester? Methods and Myths in Disciplinary History
In this article, I demonstrate how Max Gluckman used his forceful and charismatic leadership to build the reputation of the Manchester School through collective research and writing practices. He created a distinctly anthropological genealogy for the case-study method that elided its earlier development within American sociology. He also championed a balanced use of ethnographic and quantitative research methods and a team-based approach to carry…
