Scouring for Prehistory”—An Opportunistic Methodology for Sea Floor Archaeology
Finding prehistoric sites, on the sea floor off the United States, has proven to be a difficult task. Over four decades of innovative attempts have produced few discoveries. This discussion outlines the difficulties in finding submerged prehistory on the sea floor, examines current methodology(ies), and presents a new methodology that demonstrates promise based on research conducted over the past decade. The purpose of this discussion is to outli…

Photovoice is a creative research approach that combines photography with qualitative methods to promote social justice and advocacy related to an issue or topic. Ten project partners from various backgrounds participated in this study for four weeks. Through qualitative analysis of focus groups, ninetee…
Following Orders or Following the Oath? Assessing Democratic Norm Endorsement Among Service Academy Cadets
How strongly embraced within the officer corps is the commitment to supporting and defending the Constitution and to the ethic of nonpartisanship? This article answers that question through a 2019/2020 survey of 1,470 service academy students, including with a list experiment. The results show that cadets engage in what we term “selective endorsement” of norms, whereby they endorse norms as long as they are not in tension with their partisan iden…
An Assessment of Program Eligibility Among Participants in Day Reporting Centers
Day reporting centers (DRCs) vary considerably in how participant eligibility is determined and to date, there is little to no knowledge whether criteria for DRC eligibly are appropriately applied in program entrance. This study examines a statewide sample of individuals in community supervision settings and compares DRC eligibility criteria between DRC and non-DRC participants to examine differences between DRC participants and non-participants.…
Deafening Whisper
The American public’s esteem for the armed forces creates a seeming paradox with regards to the military’s credibility in public debate. An important source of the power of military speech is the same one that has made it generally rare: a normative prohibition against military activism in political discourse. However, the more novel influence of partisan polarization requires a reappraisal of the influence of the military voice in the political …
No Time to Explain
Partisans may be exposed to very different information when rendering judgments about the military’s performance, but civil-military scholars still lack a clear understanding of how that “performance” is judged. Using the results of original survey experimentation exposing respondents to information about military failures, partisan subgroups exhibit starkly different cognitive sensibilities. While Democrats and Independents negatively evaluate t…
Return to Sender
If military speech can potentially influence those who trust the institution, what forces shape that trust? Civil-military scholarship has charted the impact of demography, culture, and shared political preferences on the sources of public trust in the military. But a widening “gap” between partisans over confidence in that same institution creates questions about how individuals evaluate the military’s performance. Using observational media repo…
Appendix
Delusions and Grandeur
The combination of partisan tribalism, deepening media “echo-chambers,” and the utility of military credibility seem to suggest an environment where traditional norms of civil-military relations are weaker than previously believed. Using the results of original survey experimentation on political activism by retired military officers, this chapter finds that the public does not principally sanction such behavior, instead only doing so when these …
Missing in Faction
This summation captures the key findings of the book’s empirical chapters, discusses exacerbating forces on continued military politicization, and offers a variety of policy recommendations for civilian and military leaders to address the challenge of politicization into the future. Due to the interconnected nature of politicization behaviors, increasingly extreme party position-taking, and reduced areas of political consensus, the military will …
That Fair and Warlike Form
Following a general decline in the public’s trust in government following Vietnam, Americans have grown increasingly warm toward the military and increasingly cold toward one another, particularly along partisan lines. The result of these concurrent trends is an environment ripe for politicization: actions that result in the belief that the military is averse (or amenable) to the preferences of a specific political party. This chapter develops a …
Dangerous Instrument
As increasingly contentious politics in the United States raise concerns over the “politicization” of traditionally non-partisan institutions, many have turned their attention to how the American military has been—and will be—affected by this trend. Since its nadir following the end of the Vietnam War, the US military has seen a dramatic reversal of fortune, becoming the most trusted institution in American society. However, this pattern is more …

What Makes a Military Professional? Evaluating Norm Socialization in West Point Cadets
Scholars have contended that norms of professionalism are critical to understanding how militaries interact with civilian leaders and when they intervene in politics. Yet, few studies have directly examined the normative structures of military officers. Through a survey of 1468 US Military Academy cadets, this study evaluates cadets' views toward professionalism, and in particular what is often presumed to be the dominant framework of those norms…
Indigenizing Engineering education in Canada
This article critically considers the work being done to bring Indigenous Peoples, Knowledges, and perspectives into the dominant structures of engineering education in Canada. We use Gaudry and Lorenz’s (2018. “Indigenization as Inclusion, Reconciliation, and Decolonization: Navigating the Different Visions for Indigenizing the Canadian Academy.” AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous PeoplesAlterNative 14 (3): 218–227. doi:10.1177/…
Reframing the problem and solutions
A dozen short essays in the form of personal reflections by distinguished people, the authors of which were all asked to consider the deeper implications of the pandemic and its significance for humanity's relationship with nature. The authors include former Presidents of two countries, two Nobel prize winners, two former Presidents of IUCN, several leading academics, and leaders of international conventions, national and international NGOs, Indi…
African Americans, Caribbean Blacks and Depression
Research suggests that African Americans may be more likely to experience depression, especially severe depression, than other racial or ethnic groups in the United States. Overall there is scant research comparing the relationship between ethnicity and depression among the U.S. Black population. The purpose of this study is to identify the most significant biopsychosocial factors social workers can address in the prevention and treatment of depr…
The Effects of Hopelessness on Chronic Disease Among African Americans and Caribbean Blacks
This paper examines the relationship between hopelessness on chronic disease in a national sample of African Americans (3570) and Caribbean Blacks (1438) Using the National Survey of American Life. A multivariate negative binomial regression examined whether chronic disease is associated with hopelessness, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Overall, 13.14% of the sample reported they were highly hopeless, and 31.5% indicated they w…
Opportunity beckons
Current trends point toward the marginalization of community practice in the field of social work and social work education. Since community practice education is heavily informed by trends in the field, the opportunity for educational expansion is immediate and great. This moment necessitates a move toward methods of community practice education that emphasize practitioner skill development in theory, creativity, collaboration, understanding, an…
The Dehumanization of Black Males by Police
Despite the contemporary public’s discourse regarding the embrace of human diversity within the United States, Black males still are perennially brutalized, killed, and negatively stereotyped. Recent events regarding police killings underscore the reality that even though Black males have the same constitutional and civil rights as all other citizens, in practice their rights are often violated or denied. The negative stereotypes of Black males i…
That’s My Number One Fear in Life. It’s the Police”
Black males are disproportionately the victims of police killings in the United States, yet few studies have examined their personal narratives of trauma and bereavement resulting from police violence. Informed by critical race theory and stress and coping theory, we used a modified grounded theory approach to conduct and analyze in-depth, semistructured life history interviews with 40 young Black men (aged 18-24 years) in Baltimore, Maryland. St…

Hands up-Don't shoot
Police shootings of young Black males that ultimately result in their death have become an all-too-common occurrence in this country. The deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Gardner have highlighted police relations with this population. Before viable solutions can be established, a number of areas need to be addressed that relate to the historical context in which police relations with this group exist that impact current relations between the poli…
Protesting Black Inequality
Using the theoretical scaffold of the relative deprivation theory, we present a commentary that delineates: (a) the 4 stages of social movements (e.g., emergence, coalescence, bureaucratization, and decline) and (b) sociopolitical and ethno-generational leadership, networks, narratives and tactics of the Civil Rights Movement compared with the Black Lives Matter. We provide a commentary on the 2 social movements' precipitating events during the e…
A Critical Race Perspective of Police Shooting of Unarmed Black Males in the United States
Recent high-profile killings of unarmed Black males underscore a stark reality in America: though Black men have the same constitutional rights as all other citizens of the United States, in practice their rights are often violated. The negative stereotype that all Black males are criminals has created an environment that perpetuates the killing of unarmed Black males by police officers as justifiable self-defense. In this article, critical race …

Food-Related Behaviors of Women in Substance Abuse Recovery
The aim of this multi-method qualitative study was to explore the eating behaviors and food choices of nine purposively sampled low-income women aged 29 to 40 years who were engaged in a residential substance use disorders recovery program. Findings were limited to photo-elicitation interviews with the women that focused on nutritional choices and issues outside their family context. Consensual data analysis revealed a recovery process that began…

Suffering in Silence
The invasion by another of a child’s inner self causes greater damage to the soul than perhaps any other type of abuse. Each year an estimated 90,000 children are victims of child sexual abuse. Many social institutions that are designed to help in healthy child development have failed to protect children from sexual abuse. The Black church is a major institution within the African American community that provides a plethora of supports for the co…
Moving Toward Healthy”
This study utilized participatory and potentially empowering qualitative research methods of photo-elicitation and face-to-face interviews to investigate food choices of mothers living with their children in a residential substance use disorder recovery program. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with nine women (25-40 years) living in a residential substance use disorder recovery program in the Southeastern United States. Each audio recorded…

Black Bodies on the Ground
This article tests the thesis that policing today is a consequence of its history with the Black community. The author provides a brief historical account of policing in America as it pertains to Blacks from slavery to the 21st century. An account of the role of the slave patrols and the various codes and laws enacted to control Blacks are also discussed. This research will examine the historical relationship between police and the Black communit…
