A Forgotten Migration
Eroding Protections, Expanding Enforcement
Executive Summary Since 2021, over 468,000 unaccompanied children have been apprehended by US immigration agencies and transferred into the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. According to the most recent data from the Office of Homeland Security Statistics (2025), more than 370,000 unaccompanied children’s cases are still working their way through the complex US immigration legal system. Unaccompanied children have long been identified a…
UK resident preferences on tax reform
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, has described the UK economy as being in its worst state since 1945. Unlike the Labour Government of 1945, Reeves has rejected Beveridge-style public investment, in part because of claims of public support for fiscal restraint. We report findings of innovative, iterative mixed-methods survey (1) n = 693; 2) n = 10; 3) n = 2200) analysis of a programme for progressive tax reform designed to achieve c…
These Words Are My Own
English is the lingua franca not only for academia but also for almost all international infrastructures and global communications. It comes as no surprise, then, that the dominant and assumed normative voice in archaeology is standard British English (SBE) for narratives of various times and places. This language is ‘majoritarian’—by this we do not mean that it is spoken by most of humanity, but that it is the imposed ‘ideal’ others are measured…
That's none of my business
The contribution of large companies is needed to decarbonize energy systems and the production of goods and services. Many companies respond actively to increasing pressures for contributing to the Paris Agreement's temperature goal, but is this more than greenwashing? A realistic assessment of companies' climate responses proves methodologically challenging. Previous literature highlighted a loose coupling of “symbolic” and “substantive” measure…

Preconditions of coordination in regional public organizations
Involving several levels ranging from policy-making to service delivery, the coordination of regional public organizations is a complex matter. This paper explores how relational preconditions affect regional public organizations' coordination activities and outcomes. A model is developed that links relational preconditions to coordination outcomes. Even though the coordination mechanisms and instruments are used, the coordination outcome might v…

Peri-conceptional diet patterns and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in South Indian women
Objective: To identify peri-conceptional diet patterns among women in Bangalore and examine their associations with risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Design: BAngalore Nutrition Gestational diabetes LifEstyle Study, started in June 2016, was a prospective observational study, in which women were recruited at 5–16 weeks’ gestation. Peri-conceptional diet was recalled at recruitment, using a validated 224-item FFQ. GDM was assessed by a …
Send a Soldier to Parliament”
The spectacular collapse of the Liberal Party in Britain has often been regarded as the result of a crisis in Liberal values, supposedly provoked by the unprecedented militarization of British society during the Great War. However, this interpretation typically fails to recognize the extent to which the most important and visible legacies of that process of militarization were accommodated within the Liberal Party itself. Between 1918 and 1929, m…
Protest and the Opacity of Literature
This article analyzes Paul Celan's translation of James Baldwin's "Everybody's Protest Novel" and considers the connections between the poetics of these two writers. In addition to their shared preoccupation with and rearticulation of terms such as human, creature, and darkness, the translation reveals how they explored the relationship between literature and reality at early and transitional moments in their careers. While rejecting regnant mode…

Food Promotion and Children's Health
Food marketing to children is ubiquitous and persuasive. It primarily promotes foods of poor nutritional quality, influences children's food preferences and habits, and is a factor in childhood obesity. Given that food marketing relentlessly targets children in traditional/digital media and the built environment, children need critical media literacy skills that build their understanding of food marketing's persuasive effects. However, little res…
A Change Will Do You Good
Superior corporate environmental performance (CEP) is considered to be an indication of well-managed firms. While previous empirical research has operationalized various environmental measurements, one aspect has remained under-scrutinized, namely, continuous improvement. We examine whether continuous CEP improvement is reflected in aggregated environmental scores provided by sustainability rating agencies. From a natural resource-based view, we …
Corporate carbon performance data
Corporate carbon performance (CCP) has become a central topic in political, financial, and academic domains. At the same time, several characteristics of CCP data, including comparability and consistency, remain unresolved. The literature has extensively covered issues regarding the comparability of CCP data from a firm‐internal perspective. However, it has not yet examined the consistency of CCP data between third‐party data providers. This arti…

Why has the Covid-19 pandemic increased support for Universal Basic Income
The onset of the 2020 global COVID-19 pandemic led to a marked increase in positive discussion of Universal Basic Income (UBI) in political and media circles. However, we do not know whether there was a corresponding increase in support for the policy in the public at large, or why. Here, we present three studies carried out during 2020 in UK and US samples. In study 1 ( n = 802, April 2020), people expressed much stronger support for a UBI polic…
Practical Active Learning Stations to Transform Existing Learning Environments Into Flexible, Active Learning Classrooms
Contribution: Practical active learning stations (PALSs)-equipped classrooms function similar to prototypical active learning classrooms (ALCs). They support student collaboration and active learning pedagogies but at a fraction of the cost. Background: Active learning pedagogies and active learning technology are revitalizing STEM education and their use has led to an increase in student performance and satisfaction with the learning environment…
Social Influence and Uptake of Couples HIV Testing and Counselling in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Social influences may create a barrier to couples HIV testing and counselling (CHTC) uptake in sub-Saharan Africa. This secondary analysis of data collected in the ‘Uthando Lwethu’ randomised controlled trial used discrete-time survival models to evaluate the association between within-couple average ‘peer support’ score and uptake of CHTC by the end of nine months’ follow-up. Peer support was conceptualised by self-rated strength of agreement wi…
Recreating the playing fields
The introduction of sport in captivity during the Second World War helped to transform the prisoner-of-war camp and the wider prison community into something more familiar. A significant aspect of this transformation was the physical recreation of playing fields in many camps. These fields had elements of familiarity which lessened the foreignness of the camp space. This article analyses how participation in sport helped New Zealand prisoners res…

Undermining Racial Justice
Identity and Remembrance in the New Zealand Ex-Prisoners of War Association after the Second World War
Captivity was the antithesis of what soldiers expected to experience during the Second World War. New Zealanders who were captured had to reconcile the difference between traditional narratives of wartime heroism with their experience of confinement, which, for some, included assisting the enemy war effort through forced labour. This paper examines the New Zealand Ex-Prisoners of War (POW) Association’s quarterly newsletter and argues that the as…
Incentivising wealthy nations to participate in the Covid-19 Vaccine Global Access Facility (Covax)
box Progress in developing COVID-19 vaccines has been rapid: the first clinical trial of a vaccine candidate began in Seattle, USA on 16 March 2020—just 63 days after China shared the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. As of 12 November 2020, there were 48 candidate vaccines in clinical trials.1 Given standard attrition rates, we can expect at least a handful of COVID-19 vaccines to eventually be launched. However, de…

Crossing paths or sharing tracks
Brings together over thirty of the leading scholars in Post Medieval archaeology and examines how this relatively new discipline has developed and where it is going. The impetus for this volume lies in the expansion of interest in Post Medieval archaeology in university, commercial, and voluntary sectors. The study of Post Medieval archaeology is a relatively new discipline but, within archaeology as a whole, it represents one of the fastest grow…

Reconstruction Art and Disciplinary Practice
Alan Sorrell is best known today as a ‘reconstruction artist’, employed between the 1930s and the 1970s by the Ministry of Works and other bodies to produce reconstructions of ancient monuments and re-creations of ancient life. The archive containing many of his papers, working drawings, correspondence and other material was temporarily loaned to the Society of Antiquaries of London for study in 2010–11, and is now publicly accessible via the Sor…

Communicating Politics
In the context of higher tuition fees, the Government’s employability agenda and growing concern for defined career development strategies among young people, there is a need more effectively for Politics programmes to foster the capacity to communicate politics. Without communicating the implications and relevance of politics the subject and the skills derived from studying within Politics the discipline, Politics departments may face recruitmen…
Male genital mutilation
For liberals like Martha Nussbaum, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) has come to mark the boundary of toleration. By impairing physical, sexual and psychological functioning, the likes of Nussbaum believe the non-western practice to fulfil, most clearly, the conditions for proscription according to the harm principle. However, those same liberals assume the western practice of male circumcision, generally, to be benign or, even, necessary. As there…

The Liberal War Committee and the Liberal Advocacy of Conscription in Britain, 1914–1916
The advent of conscription in Britain in 1916 was greeted with profound dismay by many in the Liberal party. At Westminster, however, a significant minority of Liberal MPs, who were members of the Liberal War Committee (LWC), were amongst the most enthusiastic advocates of compulsory service, from a surprisingly early stage in the war. It has usually been assumed that those Liberals who embraced conscription were effectively abandoning their prog…

A Political Ecology of the Medieval Castle
Recent work in castle studies has moved away from their military role, towards a stress on social life, aesthetics, symbolism, and "status." While this social-cultural turn is a marked advance, it has not always been thought through in an anthropological or theorized way; nor have social-cultural interpretations been related to everyday practices. Consequently, "social" analyses of castles have tended to be rather disembodied, and to be limited i…
Leading from the Front
The Great War was widely seen in Britain as a struggle for civilian and constitutional standards of government against the evils of ‘Prussian militarism’. Yet the British political class itself was by no means a purely ‘civilian’ caste. During the war 264 MPs—some 40 per cent of the membership of the House of Commons—volunteered to serve in the armed forces. These men occupied a unique and controversial position both within Parliament and in the …
The Growing Relevance of Special Operations Forces in U.S. Military Strategy
Special Operations Forces (SOF) have transitioned from a marginalized force structure to a prominent part of U.S. military strategy. The gradual increase in status for SOF has been a long road. Historically, conventional military leaders have been skeptical of SOF and reluctant to use such forces. Political leaders, in contrast, have traditionally had an almost intuitive understanding of the capabilities and potential benefit of SOF. For the firs…

Housing Culture
Housing Culture is an inter-disciplinary study of old houses. It brings together recent ideas in studies of traditional architecture, social and cultural history, and social theory, by looking at the meanings of traditional architecture in western Suffolk, England. The author employs in an English context many of the ideas of Glassie, Deetz and other writers on the American colonies. In so doing, the book forms an important critique and refinemen…

Towards a theory of cultural evaluation
From which evaluative base should we develop public policies designed to promote wellbeing among different cultural groups in different circumstances? This article attempts to advance an objective, universal theory of cultural evaluation grounded in a eudaemonistic account of human wellbeing. The approach evaluates cultures on the success with which they enable societies to promote the wellbeing of individuals through provision of needs and capab…
Ages of Reform
Kenneth Morgan is one of the most distinguished political historians of modern Britain. The present title brings together a number of his essays from the past four decades in a volume of powerful and engaging scholarship, exploring the ideas, institutions, and personalities that have shaped the British left over the past two centuries. The volume is divided into two parts, the first dealing with Victorian and Edwardian Liberals, and the second wi…
The Liberal Unionist Party
William Gladstone’s decision to take up the cause of Irish Home Rule in 1886 caused a political earthquake in Britain. It split the Liberal Party, which had effectively dominated politics for most of the previous quarter-century, and introduced a bitterness to public life and an intensity of party feeling that arguably had not been seen since 1832. The ‘Liberal Unionists’ who broke with Gladstone over his Irish policy formed the largest and longe…
The Edwardian Army
The Edwardian period was a challenging time for the British army. Setbacks experienced during the unexpectedly costly and protracted war in South Africa at the turn of the century provoked grave concern about the efficiency of the nation’s armed forces. The end of Britain’s ‘splendid isolation’ in Europe, characterised by new diplomatic arrangements with France and Russia, raised new questions about the army’s strategic role, while the industrial…
