Faith actors and social norms shifting for adolescent health
Across low-and-middle income countries, adolescents navigate social environments where norms shape their opportunities and life trajectories. Faith actors are deeply embedded within these systems and often influence expectations related to communication, sexuality, reproductive health, and marriage. While faith engagement is widely recognized as important for sustainable change, empirical evidence on how faith actors contribute to social norm cha…
‘Right support, right place, right time; right mess!’ Professionals' views on factors influencing the Send system and outcomes for children and families in England
The Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) system in England is under scrutiny. Critics highlight inefficient service design, poor implementation, and adversarial processes that cause family‐level distress. Unmet needs deprive children of learning, harming long‐term prospects. Legislative changes in 2014 mandated professionals from multiple sectors to produce integrated child‐centred support plans. Since then, little peer‐reviewed resear…
What are the emotional burdens of precarious educators working in the higher education sector? A scoping review
The use of precariously employed educators is increasing in the global higher education (HE) sector, with many struggling to gain long-term employment and experiencing emotional burden. Scholars report that unpredictable job security, ambiguous career progression, and inadequate remuneration can detrimentally impact precarious educators. This scoping review aimed to uncover and synthesize the literature related to emotional burdens for precarious…
How Do People Conceptualize Narcissism and Narcissistic Individuals
INTRODUCTION: Although past decades have seen notable advances in the conceptualization and assessment of narcissism, scholarship examining lay conceptualizations of the construct remains limited. METHOD: We report two studies utilizing bottom-up, participant-driven methodologies to examine public understandings of narcissism and narcissistic individuals. In Study 1 (n = 202), we thematically analyzed layperson definitions of narcissism and compa…
Norms shifting and behavior change in uncertain times
This commentary reflects on the current state of evidence on social norms interventions focused on improving health and economic outcomes for adolescent girls and young women in low- and middle-income countries. Drawing on a newly published global evidence review, it highlights how the field has evolved from narrow, individual-level strategies toward community-centered approaches. While conceptual clarity and implementation tools have improved, s…
Including the excluded
In Australia, just as most other settings, existing programs focusing on sexual and reproductive health of young people largely occur within formal school and clinical settings, thereby limiting accessibility to young people experiencing social vulnerabilities such as homelessness. This sub-population are often targeted through the specialist homelessness services (SHS) in Australia. However, growing evidence shows that youth service staff often …

The gender gap in expert voices
In economics, as in other domains, male experts are overrepresented in public debates. The underlying reason for this is unclear. A demand-side explanation is that female experts are less frequently asked to give their opinion; a supply-side explanation is that, conditional on being asked, female experts are less willing to give their opinion. Analysing an existing panel of expert economists, all asked for their opinions on a broad range of issue…
Agency in Family Planning
Improving women's agency in family planning is an integral component of empowerment, requiring culturally relevant, reliable, and valid measures. Measuring agency—action towards the achievement of self‐determined goals—is key to tracking progress as highlighted by its inclusion in the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet, agency measurement within low‐ and middle‐income contexts has all too often involved applying measures developed and tested in h…
Shifting the paradigm
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) has been at the forefront of feminist struggles for equality; however, movements to prevent VAWG have been depoliticised, particularly by Western voices, with processes rooted in colonialism and patriarchy. Despite a growing movement to decolonise violence prevention and centre voices and experiences of the Global South, many continue to navigate power-imbalanced partnerships. To dismantle power imbalances …
Beyond Transactions
The co-authors have framed this article as an emergent learning journal of sorts, summarizing observations, findings, and key takeaways; walking the reader through the process, key tensions, and classic myths they identified; and highlighting principles they uncovered that underlie and lay the groundwork for imagining more equitable ways for evaluation consultants and foundations to act in relationships

Clothes shopping is a chore
The body positivity movement has called for greater inclusion of diverse body types within the fashion industry. Although a growing number of high street womenswear brands now include plus-size ranges and employ curvier models to represent them, UK menswear is still trailing far behind. Fashionable clothing for larger men is scarce, and the lack of research literature on the clothes shopping experiences of UK plus-size male consumers reflects thi…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mental health and viral suppression among persons living with HIV in western Washington
The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures elevated stress levels globally, exacerbating mental health challenges for people with HIV (PWH). We examined the effect of COVID-19-related stress on mental health among PWH in western Washington, exploring whether social support and coping self-efficacy were protective. Data on COVID-19-related stress, mental health, social support, and coping self-efficacy were collected using online surveys…
Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Persons Living with HIV in Western Washington
Pandemic-related stressors may disproportionately affect the mental health of people with HIV (PWH). Stratified, purposive sampling was used to recruit 24 PWH who participated in a quantitative survey on COVID-19 experiences for in-depth interviews (IDIs). IDIs were conducted by Zoom, audio recorded and transcribed. Thematic analysis was used to develop an adapted stress-coping model. Participants experienced acute stress following exposure event…
Growing up, moving out, going on
This article examines what we term the ‘un/making’ of friendships: the complex, sometimes non-linear ways in which friendships start, are maintained (or not) and break down (or not). In doing so we seek to open out some of these complexities and explore how they interact with the form of these relationships. Drawing on repeat, in-depth interviews and ethnography with a friendship group of young people in rural community in the English Midlands, t…
Digital home-lessness
Millions of individuals in the United States without a computer or broadband at their residence must rely on public libraries for their Internet access. Drawing on a rich data set of interviews and participant observation at three public libraries, we explore how individuals navigate these complex settings and how they profoundly shape their digital lives and experiences, one we characterize as digital home-lessness. In this article, we identify …

Adolescent risk and protection profiles for violence perpetration
Youth violence continues to be a major developmental and health concern. Preventative resources at individual, family, and community levels may reduce risk, yet the extent to which youth violence perpetration differs by patterns of risk and protective factors remains unknown. Using data from the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey ( N = 4630; 49% female; M age = 14.69), we conducted person‐centered, latent profile analyses to identify four patte…
Social inequity in administrative burdens
Administrative burdens in government programs are common and may exacerbate inequity in government service provision and access. Work requirements represent an onerous administrative burden as they entail substantial effort in complying and documenting compliance. We investigate whether state politics and race influence local Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) work requirement restrictiveness. To measure restrictiveness, we leverage…
Notes from a field
There is a burgeoning interest in human-animal relations across the social sciences and humanities, accompanied by an acceptance that nonhuman animals are active participants in countless social relations, worthy of serious and considered empirical exploration. This article, the first of its kind as far as the authors are aware, reports on an ongoing qualitative exploration of an example of contemporary human-animal interaction on the fringes of …
The Mediation of Family Context and Youth Depressive Symptoms by Adolescent Emotion Regulation
During adolescence, young people develop crucial capacity for emotion regulation, and family context can be a risk or protective factor for adolescents developing affective disorders. We leveraged data from the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey ( N = 7664) to propose adolescent emotion regulation as a mediator between family conflict, family protection, and adolescent depressive symptoms in the social development model. Latent moderated struct…
Interrogating nonsuicidal self-injury disorder through a feminist psychiatric disability theory framework
This article explores the proposed psychiatric diagnostic category of nonsuicidal self-injury disorder (NSSID) through the lens of feminist psychiatric disability theory. Mobilising insights from labelling theory's accounts of stigma and recovery, in conjunction with critical and feminist disability theory's attention to emotional and physical pain, we suggest that a feminist psychiatric disability approach to NSSID can illuminate the limits of a…
Beyond the lockdowns
Anticipated future reductions in aerosol emissions are expected to accelerate warming and substantially change precipitation characteristics. Therefore, it is vital to identify the existing patterns and possible future pathways of anthropogenic aerosol reductions. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted abrupt, global declines in transportation and industrial activities, providing opportunities to study the aerosol effects of pandemic-driven emissions cha…

Welfare Reform and Lone Parents in the UK
A series of reforms to help low income families with children were introduced in the UK in 1999, including in-work tax credits and welfare-to-work programmes. Lone parents were a key target for these reforms - they comprised 22% of all families by 1998 but 55% of families with children in poverty. Previous studies have shown that the reforms raised employment among lone parents. This article extends the analysis of the effect of the reforms to co…
Peer Effects in Charitable Giving
There is a widespread belief that peer effects are important in charitable giving but little evidence on how donors respond to their peers. Analysing a unique data set of donations to online fund‐raising pages, we find positive and sizeable peer effects: a £10 increase in the mean of past donations increases giving by £2.50, on average. Donations respond to both very large and very small amounts and to changes in the mode. We find little evidence…

Herding Cats? Management and University Performance
Using a tried and tested measure of management practices that has been shown to predict firm performance, we survey nearly 250 departments across 100+ UK universities. We find large differences in management scores across universities and that departments in older, research-intensive universities score higher than departments in newer, more teaching-oriented universities. We also find that management matters in universities. The scores, particula…
The Retirement‐Consumption Puzzle and Involuntary Early Retirement
This article uses data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) to shed further light on the fall in consumption at retirement (the 'retirement-consumption puzzle'). Comparing food spending of men retiring involuntarily early (through ill health or redundancy) with spending of men who retire voluntarily, it finds a significant fall in spending only for those who retire involuntarily. This is consistent with the observed fall in spending bei…
Accountability and sexual exploitation and abuse in peace operations
In March 2016, the United Nations Security Council adopted its first resolution devoted entirely to the prevention of peacekeeper sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) in peace operations. This article examines resolution 2272 by drawing on past practice and the perspective of those at mission sites—namely, Timor-Leste—arguing that the mechanism it establishes—repatriation—is limited in its capacity to prevent SEA and provide justice outcomes. The …

Pension Incentives and the Pattern of Early Retirement
This mix of state and private pension provision in the United Kingdom provides a rare degree of variation in pension incentives for retirement. Using a sample of individuals from the UK Retirement Survey, the paper models the probability of retirement in terms of the incentives underlying the individual’s pension plan as well as other socio-economic factors. It follows an option value approach and allows a separate role for pension wealth, for sp…

I'm Not a Bloody Slave, I Get Paid and if I Don't Get Paid Then Nothing Happens
Sex work remains a contentious area of debate. Whether or not sex work is considered to be a form of labour is in itself contested. As discussion is often about rather than with sex workers, this article brings Sarah's experiences of being both a student and a sex worker, in two different areas of the UK, to centre stage. This candid account highlights the precarious and competitive nature of being self-employed within the current neoliberal clim…

A different Women, Peace and Security is possible? Intersectionality in Women, Peace and Security resolutions and national action plans
This article examines the incorporation of intersectional perspectives – using intersectionality as theory and method – into the Women, Peace and Security agenda. We conduct a content analysis of the ten Women, Peace and Security resolutions and 98 current Women, Peace and Security national action plans. The analysis shows that intersectionality has been integrated into the Women, Peace and Security agenda to only a limited extent, despite more r…
Booms, Busts and Retirement Timing
Cyclical fluctuations—which affect both asset and labour markets—can have an ambiguous effect on retirement. We explore this empirically using data from the British Household Panel Survey, exploiting small area geographic identifiers to match local house prices, earnings and unemployment to respondents. We match stock prices via the date of interview. Our results show little evidence of any positive wealth effects despite large spatial and tempor…

Exploring the value and role of creative practices in research co-production
Over the past two years, COVID has illustrated how research benefit can be accelerated when need, resources and opportunity coincide. It has also demonstrated the challenges of implementing even relatively simple evidence-based interventions, such as mask wearing and vaccines. The global pandemic response has repeatedly shown that evidence use is a complex social process determined by multiple financial, political, ethical, technological, ecologi…
The Production of Legitimacy
Peace operations have increasingly sought to demonstrate their legitimacy in the face of critiques that characterize them as top-down impositions with limited impact and which entail a host of unintended consequences. Each book under review explores in depth the institutional consignment and attribution of legitimacy to certain spaces, actors, and bodies, which can serve to confirm and embed hierarchical relations of power. Von Billerbeck delinea…
Trampolines and Minefields
This paper is based on a research study which explores Social Workers’ feelings about professionals touching children during statutory child protection visits to clients’ homes in one part of a southern English county.The study focussed on Social Worker visits to children aged between two and ten years who were subject to child protection plans following Section 47 enquiries of the Children Act 1989. A convenience sample of ten completed question…
The Labour Supply Effect of the Abolition of the Earnings Rule for Older Workers in the United Kingdom
High effective tax rates on work at and around state pension age deter participation. An example is the ‘earnings test’ operating in several OECD countries. The United States abolished its test for the 65+ age group in 2000. The United Kingdom offers a ‘natural experiment’ of this reform, as it abolished its test, known as the ‘earnings rule',in 1989. We examine the effect of this change, taking account of the opportunity to defer pension rights.…

Keeping Time
My first inclination to this prompt, what of Black temporalities in crisis, was to ask a small group of Black familiars (friends and colleagues) to talk with me about their current experience of time in quarantine, and under the present articulations of racial injustice and economic crisis. Many remarked on awaiting moments of dance and embodiment, or the body after surgery during COVID, to the forms of mutual aid arriving, just on time. Others e…
When “gender” started’
This article examines gender mainstreaming processes in successive UN peacebuilding missions in Timor-Leste, with a focus on the relationship between these missions and the national women's organizations who were vehicles for implementation. Apparent frictions occur in this process and the article suggests that the gender rhetoric and practice incorporated into UN peacebuilding since 2000 can have potentially destabilizing effects for women's act…

Meanings of “Conservation”

To this, I received comments similar to the statement made by one volunteer and participant, "conservation is
Human Trafficking in Florida
Human trafficking is a pervasive issue in the United States (Florida State 2003:16). While an estimated 18,000-20,000 persons are trafficked across the nation's borders each year, this may be a dramatic underestimation of actual occurrence due to the hidden nature of human trafficking crimes and the fact that this number does not include domestic trafficking incidents (Florida State 2003:16). Federal anti-trafficking legislation defines "traffick…

HIV-related stigma
An estimated 11% of the adult population in Malawi, Africa, is living with HIV/AIDS. The disease has taken a toll on communities, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Malawian women carry the burden of being caretakers for individuals infected with HIV while also worrying about their own health. However, little is known about how HIV/ AIDS affects psychological functioning among Malawian women in areas hit hardest by the epidemic. To that e…
