Economic equity and people with disabilities
Here, we develop two new social indices: the ADA PARC Absolute Economic Opportunity Index and the ADA PARC Relative Economic Opportunity Index. These indices allow us novel examinations of economic equity between people with and without disabilities within a U.S. state and between people with disabilities in different states using aggregations of multiple component economic indicators. These represent the first efforts to offer U.S. indices of th…
Unsung heroes in health education and promotion
Rural communities are noted as having poor health outcomes. Rural areas experience barriers to care primarily due to a lack of resources, including education, health insurance, transportation, and social support. Additionally, poor health outcomes are a consequence of poor health literacy skills. Community Health Workers (CHWs) are utilized as a resource to combat these issues. This study focused on a CHW led Self-Management Blood Pressure (SMBP)…

The Voiceless Animal Cruelty Index and its relationship to per capita purchasing power parity and inequality
The Voiceless Animal Cruelty Index (VACI) calculates three indices for deliberate or willfully ignorant animal mistreatment in 50 countries with high agricultural output. These are animal slaughter (Producing Cruelty), animal consumption (Enabling Cruelty), and laws protecting farmed animals (Sanctioning Cruelty). The rankings of Producing, Enabling and Sanctioning Cruelty are combined to form the final VACI rank. Weighted values for animals slau…

The Stories We Tell
This Special Issue examines ethical challenges in community psychology research and practice. The literature on ethics in community psychology has remained largely abstract and aspirational, with few concrete examples and case studies, so the goal of this Special Issue was to expand our written discourse about ethical dilemmas in our field. In these articles, researchers and practitioners share stories of specific ethical challenges they faced an…
Complicating Narratives
In this concluding essay, we review the case studies presented in this Special Issue and examine whether community psychology has a distinctive approach to defining and resolving the core ethical canons of the Belmont Report (1979): Respect for Persons, Beneficence, and Justice. For two of these Principles—Respect for Persons and Beneficence—community psychologists elaborate upon and extend their definitions to consider their meaning in community…
Knowledge and Ideology
Ideology critique generally seeks to undermine selected theories and beliefs by demonstrating their partisan origins and their insidious social functions. This approach rightly reveals the socially implicated nature of much purported knowledge, but also brackets or bypasses its cognitive properties. In contrast, Michael Morris argues that it is possible to integrate the social and epistemic dimensions of belief in a way that preserves the cogniti…
The superfluous revolution
Despite our common self-conceptions, we philosophers have our myths, heroes, and guiding narratives. Our work may emphasize conceptual clarity and deductive arguments, but these more sober and disc
Are Some Countries More Prone to Pressure Evaluators Than Others? Comparing Findings From the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland
Pressure on evaluators has been investigated recently by surveys in the USA, the UK, Germany, and Switzerland. This study compares the results of those studies regarding pressure on evaluators in different countries. The findings suggest that independence of evaluations does not exist for many respondents. Moreover, the person who commissioned the evaluator for evaluation is identified by all studies as the primary influencing stakeholder in the …
Linking Social-Problem Models to Needs-Assessment Methodology in the Teaching of Evaluation
More Than the Beatles
This essay explores the implications of the zeitgeist that emerged in the United States during the 1960s for the conceptualization of ethical issues in evaluation and community psychology, and how perspectives from the latter field might enhance ethical practice in the former. Special attention is paid to articulations of social justice, professional standards, and cultural competence, and how general exhortations for ethical, just behavior in ev…
You Want Me to Do What? Evaluators and the Pressure to Misrepresent Findings
Evaluators' experiences with being pressured by a key stakeholder to misrepresent findings were investigated in an anonymous survey of a random sample of over 2500 American Evaluation Association members; a response rate of 37% was obtained. Overall, 42% of the respondents had encountered misrepresentation pressure, with 70% of this subgroup having faced it on more than one occasion. Misrepresentation pressure usually focused on making evaluation…
The Good, the Bad, and the Evaluator
This essay explores the contributions of Evaluation Practice and the American Journal of Evaluation to our understanding of evaluation ethics. The review is organized according to the five Guiding Principles for Evaluators (Systematic Inquiry, Competence, Integrity/Honesty, Respect for People, and Responsibilities for General and Public Welfare) and identifies key themes within each domain. The value of case-based ethical analysis is highlighted,…
Middle Earth, Narnia, Hogwarts, and Animals
The way that nonhuman animals and other nonhuman sentient beings are portrayed in the Christian-based Harry Potter series, C. S. Lewis's Narnia series, and Tolkien's Middle Earth stories is discussed from a Christian animal liberationist perspective.Middle Earth comes closest to a liberationist ideal, in that vegetarianism is connected with themes of power, healing, and spirituality. Narnia could be described as a more enlightened welfarist socie…
The Fifth Guiding Principle
Five Fictions in Search of Truth
This book considers five works of fiction: two by Gustave Flaubert, two by Henry James, and one by Vladimir Nabokov. The book declares itself as being ‘in praise of literature, and in particular of literature as a way to know, to discover the truth’ (p. 5). Its central claim is that it is precisely in fiction that truth can be known. The kind of truth pursued by these writers was not thought by them to be ‘any single absolute truth, but a truth t…
Routledge philosophy guidebook to Wittgenstein and the Tractatus
This text presents an introduction to the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, the only book Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. Morris introduces & analyses the brief & sometimes cryptic text, including Wittgestein's life, the background to the Tractatus, & the importance of Wittgenstein's work in philosophy today.

Animal Liberationist Responses to Non-Anthropogenic Animal Suffering
Animal liberationists generally pay little attention to the suffering of animals in the wild, and it is arguable that this is a significant proportion of the total amount of animal suffering. We examine a range of different responses of animal liberationists to the issue of non-anthropogenic suffering, but find none of them entirely satisfactory. Responses that lead logically to the conclusion that anthropogenic suffering should be eliminated can…
Akrasia in the Protagoras and the Republic
Although it is a commonplace that the Protagoras and the Republic present diffent views of akrasia, the nature of the difference is not well understood. I argue that the logic of the famous argument in the Protagoras turns just on two crucial assumptions: that desiring is having evaluative beliefs (or that valuing is desiring), and that no one can have contradictory preferences at the same time; hedonism is not essential to the logic of the argum…
Ethical Challenges
The Ethical Challenges scenario in the June 2004 issue of the American Journal of Evaluation focused on an evaluator-client disagreement concerning the wisdom of having consumer representation on a steering committee that would help plan and oversee an evaluation in an agency providing community-based residential services to the chronically mentally ill. In her response to the commentaries on this case, Gillian Kerr encourages us to explore in gr…

The analysis of Bronze Age barrow sites excavated as long ago as 25 years can provide information on more significant and wide ranging topics than basic funerary rites. At Buckskin no primary burial rite was recorded nor any high status artefacts found. The analysis, of stored soil samples and animal bones however, produced evidence for ceremonial activity and feasting prior to the construction of the barrow mound. This encourages discussion on b…

The Question of Value in Social Marketing
Economic theory fails to recognize value in social marketing, it is argued, because these beliefs are widely held: (1) social marketers do not consider consumer needs, (2) they are motivated by social welfare, (3) the price mechanism does not fully operate in the social sphere, (4) there is usually insufficient competition, and (5) social marketing is less effective in market control. Based on quality-of-life (QOL) theory, several normative princ…

Socrates' Last Argument
The last argument of Plato's Phaedo has always fascinated philosophers. Though speciously smooth, it is naggingly hard to understand, and persistent failure provokes persistent interest. But the real importance of the argument lies in what it reveals about Plato's metaphysical theory, and about his view of the nature of metaphysical enquiry. If we are to see exactly what is going on, we need a formal analysis of the argument, a precise location o…

Causes of Behaviour
A huge variety of kinds of human behaviour can be explained by revealing a subject's beliefs and desires. What kind of explanation is this? It seems both plausible and suggestive to say that it is causal explanation, that beliefs and desires are causes of behaviour. Indeed this seems so natural that Davidson can regard the onus of proof as resting on someone who denies that the connexion is causal

The competent community revisited
This case study analyzes an attempt to develop the ability of community organizations and groups to coordinate their efforts in implementing state legislation for the deinstitutionalization of status offenders. The intervention was carried out by a “networker,” whose responsibilities closely resembled those associated with the “ombudsman” role proposed by Sarason and Lorentz (1979). Using a strategy emphasizing locality development (Rothman, 1968…

Towards an archaeology of navvy huts and settlements of the industrial revolution
Around any great construction enterprise, whether Victorian railway viaduct or contemporary motorway, there will be a passing scatter of huts and buildings, swept away when the project is complete and the builders have moved on. In the unmechanized age, this meant large numbers of hands and large settlements, which have their archaeological trace
