Evaluating a child abuse prevention programme’s influence on knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs
Background: Child sexual abuse confers immediate and long-lasting trauma on victims, their families, and communities. Prevention programmes focus on providing education and support to the victims, but service providers who work with children also need training and support in child sexual abuse prevention. Purpose: To assess the impact that a child sexual abuse prevention programme has on adults’ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about child sexua…
Inside Asylum Appeals
Appeals are a crucial part of Europe’s asylum system but they remain poorly understood. Building on insights and perspectives from legal geography and socio-legal studies, this book shines a light on what takes place during asylum appeals and puts forward suggestions for improving their fairness and accessibility. Drawing on hundreds of ethnographic observations of appeal hearings, as well as research interviews, the authors paint a detailed pict…
Fire's habit
This article weaves together text, photography, and audio recordings drawn from long‐term ethnographic research in northern Australia to ask what fire is becoming as its everyday, urban manifestations are tethered to the diacritics of catastrophic bushfire, on the one hand, and Indigenous expertise and cultural fire, on the other. In exploring both menacing and mundane facets of urban fire in northern Australia, the article and accompanying exege…
Histone deacetylase inhibitors mitigate antipsychotic risperidone-induced motor side effects in aged mice and in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
Antipsychotic drugs are still widely prescribed to control various severe neuropsychiatric symptoms in the elderly and dementia patients although they are off-label use in the United States. However, clinical practice shows greater side effects and lower efficacy of antipsychotics for this vulnerable population and the mechanisms surrounding this aged-related sensitivity are not well understood. Our previous studies have shown that aging-induced …
Humanities and Public Policy
This chapter explores the evolution of state, local, and federal policies to promote engagement with the humanities in the United States from the Early Republic through the contemporary moment. It focuses particularly on policymakers’ efforts to support or influence educational institutions, libraries, museums, and historic sites. The authors argue that over time, humanities policy has largely focused on the value of the humanities to cultivating…
Social Isolation in Older Adults
Physical distancing practices during the COVID-19 global pandemic contributed to a high degree of social isolation among older adults. To reduce loneliness and other ill effects of social isolation, public health experts recommended outdoor social gathering, with physical distancing. Adopting a case study approach, we explored how social aspects of group outdoor health walks (GOHWs) mitigate social isolation for older adults and improve individua…
Witnessing environments
This article offers a conceptual and historical introduction to the significance of witnessing in relationship to environmental questions for the Hau special section “Witnessing Environments.” The articles in this special section take as their focus the often fragmented ways in which witnessing gains traction—as both practice and ethos—across environmental interventions. They also chart the ways that the pairing of “witnessing” and “environment” …

The tribunal atmosphere
Vulnerable groups’ direct experiences and impressions of British courts and tribunals have often been overlooked by politicians and policy makers (JUSTICE, 2019). This paper takes a geographical, empirical approach to access to justice to respond to these concerns, paying attention to the atmosphere of First Tier Immigration and Asylum Tribunal hearings to explore the qualitative aspects of (in)access to justice during asylum appeals. It draws on…
To sing with another's voice
In northern Australia, elaborate forms of indirection and self-effacement shape the media play of young Indigenous Australians. Young people animate celebrity avatars and their iconic voices as kinds of camouflage, breathing life into the artifacts of social media across a range of online platforms and media networks. In turn, they are themselves addressed, affected, and animated by such media. Informed by widely distributed norms of communicativ…
Differentiating Difference
A Subject Deferred
From as early as the late 1970s anthropologists and ethnomusicologists have been both analysts of and advocates for institutional worlds of Aboriginal art and media. Keenly aware of the Faustian character ascribed to the Indigenous embrace of media, and attuned to the ironies of its governmental subvention, such work of necessity took shape in dialogue with specific institutional possibilities and Australian anxieties. This paper revisits the his…
The Voice and Its Doubles
Beginning in the early 1980s Aboriginal Australians found in music, radio, and filmic media a means to make themselves heard across the country and to insert themselves into the center of Australian political life. In The Voice and Its Doubles Daniel Fisher analyzes the great success of this endeavor, asking what is at stake in the sounds of such media for Aboriginal Australians. Drawing on long-term ethnographic research in northern Australia, F…
Sound and contingency in Tess Lea'sDarwin

The Anthropology of Radio Fields
This review surveys a resurgent ethnographic interest in radio media in order to identify the contours and potentials of an emergent anthropology of radio. We first locate such scholarship in relation to long-standing questions about the nature and power of technological mediation, as well as voice, sound, and aurality. This allows us to reveal how conceptualizations of a singular ontology of radio often implicitly underwrite most accounts of its…
Preface
Becoming the S tate in N orthern A ustralia
In A ustralia's N orthern T erritory, the L arrakia have been involved in a decades‐long effort to gain recognition as traditional owners through L and R ights and N ative T itle legislation. From one perspective, their claims have failed to achieve the entitlement and recognition grounded in these governmental regimes (Scambary 2007; Povinelli 2002). However, over the past decade the L arrakia N ation A boriginal C orporation ( LNAC ) and the L …

Running amok or just sleeping rough? Long-grass camping and the politics of care in northern Australia
In this article, I analyze efforts to remove Aboriginal people from town camps and public parks in Darwin, capital of Australia's Northern Territory. In early 2003, the territory government enjoined the corporate representative of Darwin's traditional owners to assert their prior title, thereby policing and reimagining public space by reference to this Aboriginal corporate custody. Public discourse, as reflected in news accounts, framed this move…

On gammon, global noise and indigenous heterogeneity
Gammon', a term derived from English and which can be glossed in Aboriginal Australia as meaning fake, cheap or broken, is shared across varieties of Aboriginal English and has become affectionately revered as icon of an intra-Aboriginal public culture. The shorter Oxford English Dictionary defines gammon as the distraction proffered as one's pockets are picked and, more generally, as humbug or nonsense - glosses which capture the playful dissimu…
Mediating Kinship
In Aboriginal Northern Australia, request programs are a ubiquitous, marked format for Indigenous radio broadcasting. Emerging from the activist drive of Indigenous media producers, and often instrumentally geared toward connecting prison inmates with their families and communities, such request programs invariably involve performative "shout-outs" to close and extended kin. These programs bring together a lengthy history of Aboriginal incarcerat…
Connectedness and Citizenship
Despite decades of deinstitutionalization, individuals with psychiatric disabilities living outside the hospital may be described as in the community, but not of it. To effectively address the persisting problem of social exclusion of persons with psychiatric disabilities, new conceptual tools are needed. To address this need, a new definition of social integration is offered.The definition is based on data from a qualitative study. Data collecti…
