Role conflict and ‘regionness
Curriculum making in an age of crisis
This article discusses the geography curriculum in response to the current epoch. Epoch-typical issues include economic and environmental justice associated with climate change. The circumstances we describe are exacerbated, we suggest, by the broader social, cultural and political contexts and divisions stoked by post-truth politics and social media. We argue that this age of crisis calls for a positive, coherent and principled educational respo…
Religious Leaders’ Exposure to Suffering, Personal Spiritual Doubts, and Well-Being
The Flag that Does Not Exist—Yet? Imagining a New Symbol in Northern Ireland
There is a large amount of research on the use and meaning of existing flags in Northern Ireland, and more generally on symbols in violent identity conflicts. By contrast, this article explores the absence of a symbol that might be expected to exist—a unifying official flag in Northern Ireland. The article begins by considering the political and social psychological importance of shared symbols, especially in the aftermath of conflict. It then ex…
The international significance of the Northern Ireland peace process
This article revisits scholarly, political, and practitioner debates surrounding the international implications of the Northern Ireland peace process: the so-called lessons. It begins by reviewing the literature on the epistemological and political dimensions of comparing conflicts. It identifies three different approaches to learning from peace processes. These are termed analytical-technical, political-strategic, and educative-psychological. Th…
Transition television
This article shows how two recent television series can vividly illustrate for students key aspects of the condition of contemporary Northern Ireland and conflict-affected societies generally. The article begins by reviewing literature on the potential of popular culture as an aid to active learning. It then analyses scenes from Derry Girls, a comedy series set during the final years of ‘the Troubles’, and Blue Lights, a police drama set in the p…
Peace, Temporality, and Generations
There is relatively little research on long-term peace and the implications for a peace process of generational change. This article advances the sociology of peace by using the lenses of temporality and generations to understand the attitudes of people living within an enduring political transition. The article begins by developing the concept of peace time, meaning subjective perceptions of time and change during a post-conflict period. It then…
Trouble in Cyprus, Riots in Turkey
This article will analyse British influence campaigns that employed disinformation and propaganda to advance British interests during the Second World War and the early Cold War, with a focus on the role of Ian Fleming. It draws on declassified files at The National Archives in London, primary media sources in English and in Turkish, and secondary published research to help understand the extent to which British objectives were achieved in Turkey…
Relational trauma
This article presents findings on the impact of maternal imprisonment on wider relationships within the family. Previous research has detailed the significant impact that maternal imprisonment may have on mothers and their children. Relational theory suggests that connections and relationships may be more important for women and that this has an impact on desistance and recovery. This article applies relational theory to the wider impacts of mate…
‘Teaching for Sustainable Futures’
This article puts geography teachers’ professional development for teaching about climate change in the spotlight by explaining the ideas behind a free, online short course: ‘Teaching for Sustainable Futures’ (UCL-CCCSE, 2023a). The course – a result of collaboration between teachers, educators and academics – is designed to show the potential of geography to learn about climate change and for sustainable futures. The article first outlines the c…
Disability Ghosting in the Double Lockdown Institution of Covid-19
This paper surveys some of the voluminous journalistic coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health responses that ensued. While investigative reporting in newspapers and news programming played an important function, we expose the terms of the underreporting about the lockdowns in institutions for the disabled and elderly that ultimately changed little about public knowledge of the lives of disabled people who were always or already c…
You Realise We’re Not the Only Ones Stuck Living Like This’
One of the capacities of civil society in peace processes is the promotion of peace-oriented attitudes among citizens through peace education. This article investigates how civil society peace education may be enhanced through collaboration with counterparts in another conflict arena. The article begins by discussing the potential and pitfalls of the comparison of peace/conflict contexts. The empirical findings are based on interviews and focus g…
Rescuing reconciliation
A rich and complex literature on reconciliation has emerged in response to political transitions since the 1990s, yet reconciliation’s value as a concept within peace studies is unclear. Definitions are contested, impressionistic or overlap with other concepts, while ‘reconciliation’ remains politically contested in many conflict-affected societies. This article considers the four leading understandings of reconciliation: reconciliation as peaceb…
A “Stretchier” Kind of Witnessing
The article compiles the events marking the precarity of disabled peoples’ lives during the Second World War in Germany through an examination of the transition of Nazi psychiatric killing centers into memorials during the long twentieth century. As Judith Butler points out in Frames of War: When is Life Grievable?, recognizing the conditions of vulnerability calls us to a responsibility to alter abuse, suffering, and violence; yet it may also be…
Enhancing Teachers’ Expertise Through Curriculum Leadership—Lessons from the GeoCapabilities 3 Project
GeoCapabilities is a distinctive approach to teacher professional development which foregrounds the educational potential of geographical knowledge. This paper examines the effect of GeoCapabilities on geography teachers’ expertise. First, the paper explores a problem of teacher training which privileges technique for classroom effectiveness over geographical thinking. We then introduce the GeoCapabilities 3 project, presenting and discussing fin…
An Avalanche of Cultural Rejections
As Emily Violet Maddox explains about the work of disability in the writings of Walter Benjamin, “Redemption in a Benjaminian sense means that objects are ruptured from their place in the order of things. Thus, things or, as I will argue, bodies which have been ordered through their use values or their commodity value, can be redeemed by being used otherwise.”1 In making this argument, Maddox takes up a formative approach that guides many contemp…
Nurse practitioner scope of practice and the prevention of foot complications in rural diabetes patients
PURPOSE: Diabetic foot ulcers afflict a quarter of type-2 diabetes mellitus patients and are associated with higher mortality rates among people with diabetes. Routine primary and preventive care is essential to both prevent and treat foot ulcers before they can contribute to further adverse outcomes. One approach for expanding this care to people with diabetes in rural communities is increasing the practice authority of nurse practitioners. This…
Understanding the Psychological Well-Being of International Arrivals in a Purpose-Designed Australian Covid-19 Quarantine Facility
Equivocal evidence suggests that mandatory supervised quarantine can negatively affect psychological well-being in some settings. It was unclear if COVID-19 supervised quarantine was associated with psychological distress in Australia. The sociodemographic characteristics associated with distress and the lived experiences of quarantine are also poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the mental well-being of international arriv…

Sport and strategic peacebuilding
This article contributes to the growing body of scholarship on sport’s peacebuilding capacity by comparing the role of sport in two peace processes, Northern Ireland and Korea. Uniquely, the analysis is guided by the concept of strategic peacebuilding which goes beyond the much-criticised liberal peacebuilding ‘toolkit’ and emphasises the importance of coordinated action at all levels and by many types of actor. The empirical sections examine the…

Learning from a Peace Process
The goal of ‘learning’ from peace processes is widely expressed in conflict resolution scholarship and practice but inadequately understood. This article investigates what kinds of knowledge can be learned from a peace process, the theoretical and methodological bases of such learning, and what impact it may have. The article begins with an interdisciplinary discussion of reasons to learn, the kinds of lessons proposed in the peace process litera…
Making or Breaking Regions
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has gained worldwide attention, as the government of Xi Jinping has committed itself to globe the spanning connectivity project. Global in scope, the role of regions and regional organisations has been identified as being important elements in bringing the BRI to fruition, even though its execution has been based on bilateral agreements. This is true in those regions, notably South Asia, Southeast Asia and t…
Can Sport Build Peace After Conflict? Public Attitudes in Transitional Northern Ireland
The growth of the Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) movement has provoked considerable scholarly interrogation of the claimed social benefits of sport. However, little is known of public attitudes to the topic. This article reports research carried out in Northern Ireland regarding sport as a means of bringing divided communities together. Respondents viewed sport as effective in breaking down barriers, yet the demographic reach in terms of t…
The Eugenic Atlantic
In this analysis the authors fold disability into a cross-national equation by including disabled people as part of a trans-Atlantic discussion of otherness. In naming this new cultural space the ‘Eugenic Atlantic’, we take up Paul Gilroy's analysis of cultural crossings in order to recognise the social construction of marginalised populations designated by virtue of their presumed biologically-based inferiorities. The analysis of a ‘Eugenic Atla…
People have a knack of making you feel excluded if they catch on to your difference
While there is a growing literature in the field of gender, sexuality and sport, there is a dearth of research into the lived experiences of transgender people in sport. The present study addresses this research gap by exploring and analysing the accounts of transgender people in relation to their experiences of sport and physical activity. These are examined within the theoretical rubrics of social exclusion and minority stress theory. The findi…
Cooking the Fudge
This article examines the role of ‘constructive ambiguity’ in the 1998 Belfast Agreement and in its implementation, and demonstrates how it offers a particularly illuminating lens for analysing the persistence and then conclusion of political instability during the years 1998–2007. It begins with a description of what constructive ambiguity is and how it works. After outlining how constructive ambiguity featured in the Agreement, it then explores…
Non-Nationalist Politics in a Bi-National Consociation
Through a case study of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, this article examines the contention that consociational power-sharing, in its determination to include dominant and conflicting identity groups, exalts these identities and excludes others including gender, class and other ethnicities and nationalities. The article describes and assesses the Alliance Party’s arguments that the power-sharing arrangements in Northern Ireland are philo…
Body Solitaire
To sketch a quick contrast between disability in literature and disability in autobiography, I would begin by making two generalizations: in literature disability functions largely as a metaphor of social collapse, while in autobiography disability represents the coordinates of a singular subjectivity. The distinction is important because most literary critics in disability studies have argued that autobiography offers up a necessary antidote to …

[Every] Child Left Behind
Rather than expect that disabled students submerge their disability experiences in order to pass as non-disabled (the primary aim of inclusionism), a curricular cripistemologies methodology draws upon the latent disability knowledge available in the classroom. Through readings of long-taught texts whose stories turn on disability insights, the article identifies opportunities for making disability an active part of the learning environment. Crip …
Anatomy of Failure
The Bush administration's decision-making process leading to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 has been singled out for its many shortcomings: failure of intelligence; lack of debate concerning options; an insufficient invading force; and poor postwar planning. Contrary to the administration's claim that no one foresaw the difficulties of waging a war in Iraq, many concerns about the challenges the United States would face were raised inside and outsi…
Reconciliation through language learning? A case study of the Turas Irish language project in East Belfast
Language is frequently present in the conflictual symbolic politics of violent inter-group conflict. In Northern Ireland, the Irish language has long been contested and has been drawn into the maelstrom of cultural conflict since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement; hence the improbability of an Irish language learning/teaching initiative, operating since 2011, based in Protestant, pro-British East Belfast. This article offers the first academic analy…

Cultural Locations of Disability
In their book Cultural Locations of Disability they trace how disabled people came to be looked upon as biologically deviant. Using the eugenic period as a starting point they examine cultural spaces that have been developed exclusively on behalf of disabled people. Included in their understanding of cultural spaces are locations like the 19th century charity systems, institutions for the feebleminded (during the eugenics period), sheltered works…

Comparative consultation
Exchanges of expertise and experience between personnel involved in different peace processes are now a common feature of peacemaking worldwide. However, the goals, methods and impact of such interactions have been subject to little research. This article is the first scholarly analysis of what is here called ‘comparative consultation’. The article begins by conceptualising this work as a unique form of Track Two unofficial diplomacy, sharing the…

Does Context Matter? Advisory Systems and the Management of the Foreign Policy Decision-Making Process
In examining the management of the foreign policy process, scholars have determined that variations in management style have implications for how the policy process is organized and how policy is deliberated. The research has been less attentive to how management varies depending on the issue area. This study examines the decision making of the Bill Clinton administration and compares the management of foreign policy on concurrent international e…

The Importance of Being Important
Near the beginning of the last chapter of Life's Dominion , Ronald Dworkin expounds the following problem. Margo has Alzheimer's disease. She suffers from ‘serious and permanent dementia’ (p. 220). It transpires that some years ago, at a time when she was mentally fully competent, Margo executed an advance directive. In this formal document she expressed her wishes concerning what should happen to her if she were to develop Alzheimer's. Should th…

Internet Content Regulation in Southeast Asia
The movement of Internet content regulation from telecommunications regulatory regimes into the existing streams of media regulation can be seen all over Southeast Asia - from Australia and Singapore to Vietnam and Laos. This paper examines this movement, comparing regulatory regimes for internet content control in Vietnam, Singapore and Australia. It will show that these countries have moved to integrate internet content regulation within existi…

Theorising Disability as Political Subjectivity
Disability studies has shown how therapeutic professionals and people with disabilities occupy opposite sides of a deep cultural divide, one that artificially bisects normalcy from 'abnormalcy'. The philosophy of political subjectivity provides an opportunity to analyse the fraught nexus that exists between institutions and those who navigate them as professionals and 'clients'. Our essay seeks to theorise the subject positions that emerge as a r…

Three Tudor Silver Dress-Hooks
Since the Treasure Act (1996) came into force in England and Wales, museums have been able to acquire whole new categories of artefacts. One such category consists of sixteenth-century silver and silver-gilt dress-hooks, which have until now been poorly represented in public collections. In volume 82 of the Antiquaries Journal, Gaimster, Hayward, Mitchell and Parker presented a classification of these ornamental hooks and, through analysis of con…
