Response to Sarah Cate’s Review of Born Innocent: Protecting the Dependents of Accused Caregivers
John Witherspoon: Religious Educator to the American Founding Generation
The political theology of Rev. John Witherspoon (1723–1794) had a profound impact on the development of ideas on religion and government during the Founding Period as a prominent educator, clergyman, and signatory of the Declaration of Independence. This paper uncovers the far-reaching impact of Witherspoon’s political theology during America’s struggle for independence. Witherspoon shaped the views on religious liberty of his prominent students …
The Border Crossed Us: Enhancing Indigenous International Mobility Rights
In North America, a major impediment to Indigenous sovereignty and treaty rights to free movement involves the reticence of the Canadian government on the U.S.-Canada border, and the U.S. government on the U.S.-Mexico border, to allow Indigenous people the right to travel to live and work on both sides of a frontier imposed by settler states. In this article, I argue for enhanced mobility rights for all members of Indigenous polities in North Ame…
A limited defence of public health exit restrictions
Exit restrictions are viewed with suspicion in the literature related to migration, citizenship, and human rights. The international human rights project is devoted to defending the minimal proposition that a person should be able to leave their own country, with few exceptions. Public health emergencies constitute one of the few limits on this mobility right in Article 12 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Here, I offer…
Virtual sovereignty? Private internet capital, digital platforms and infrastructural power in the United States
Infrastructural power in the United States, which is the capacity to extract and deploy social resources and initiate and harness technological innovation, is increasingly generated by private internet capital and exercised by digital platforms. In this article we argue that while these private actors do not possess legitimacy, this is a form of 'virtual sovereignty' which complicates the capacity of the US state to exercise infrastructural power…
How we work: Reflecting on ten years of inclusive research
Inclusive research has gained momentum internationally. However important critiques of this approach query whether inclusive research reinforces perceptions of deficit and contribute to exclusionary practices. This paper presents a reflection on the practices within an inclusive research group over the past decade, with a focus on decision making and support. The authors used thematic analysis to critically review minutes, workshop presentations …

Labouring for Citizenship
This article draws from the lessons of the Mexican-American labour movement’s internal conflict during the twentieth century about how to respond to new co-ethnic migration to consider what new immigrants and citizens owe to one another as workers in the current US immigration reform debate. For much of the twentieth century, Mexican-Americans were divided about how the US government should respond to new unauthorized and temporary legal immigrat…
Australia, the utility of force and the society-centric battlespace
Greater uncertainty characterizes Australia's strategic environment. Power transitions in the Indo-Pacific test US primacy at a time when Australia as a major US alliance partner is encountering new asymmetric, society-centric threats from state and non-state actors in what is called the ‘cognitive battlespace’. This is a different kind of warfare, utilizing information as military force. Threats take the form of direct manipulation of interconne…
Sociology and Social Welfare
Originally published in 1987, Sociology and Social Welfare looks at the relationship between state and welfare in the context of a wider sociological analysis of state and society in post-war Britain. The book looks at two main concerns, the first suggests the ways in which the theory and practice of welfare might be made more reflective and self-conscious if located in sociological understandings of state, society, and welfare. The second sugges…
Beyond Allegiance: Toward A Right to Canadian Citizenship Status
Canada grants citizenship expansively to most persons born subject to its territorial jurisdiction. Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms also treats naturalized and native-born citizens as equals. But new distinctions have emerged that threaten the equal status and rights of Canadian citizens. Here, I argue that the reemergence of the dormant historical norm of citizenship as allegiance is being used to cast citizens deemed disloyal out from C…
Defending Family Unity as an Immigration Policy Priority
In this article, I make a policy argument in defense of family and relationship-based immigration preferences in U.S. immigration law that accounts for economic objections and calls for solidarity among socioeconomically disadvantaged U.S. residents on this issue. I begin with a historical account of policy arguments for limiting family-based immigration. I challenge the view that family-based immigration is a fiscal burden on the nation as a who…
Keeping the Golden Door Ajar: The Business Case for Mexican Labour Migration to the United States in the 1920s
This article highlights the role that US Chamber of Commerce lobbyists and border politicians played in limiting restrictions on Mexican labour migration to the United States in the 1920s. Together, they successfully resisted calls for stricter statutory limitations on the admission of Mexican migrants by emphasizing their economic and civic contributions

By right of service: The military as a pathway to earned citizenship
In this article, I use the civic republican tradition as a theoretical lens to examine how Mexican-Americans in a transnational community have drawn on their wartime service to demand equal treatment as citizens and legal residence as immigrants. I interpret this account through a frame of “Tejano republicanism” originating in the historical experience of civil rights groups led by South Texas veterans. Originating as Texas-based US citizen-only …
Legalizing Parents and Other Caregivers: A Family Immigration Policy Guided by a Public Ethic of Care
In this article, I consider the implications of an ethic of care for reforming U.S. family-based immigration admissions and waiver policies. Using an ethic of care as a starting point, I make a normative argument for extending family-based immigration benefits to the primary caregivers of resident and citizen-children. This policy reform would provide a basis for recognizing the social membership of the children of immigrants and rewarding the de…
Conditional Residence for Unauthorised Immigrant Parents
In this article, I argue that states have a long-term public policy interest in applying the best interests of the child standard that they use for domestic child welfare determinations in immigration cases that involve deportable non-citizen parents. But I also recognise that the interests of existing citizens in effective immigration regulation and enforcement need to be taken into consideration. The burden lies with parents who entered and con…

Rural versus Urban African-American Adolescents: Competence Scores and Environment
The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the differences between rural versus urban African-American adolescents on several scores of perceived competence in important areas of an adolescent's development. The sample included only African-American adolescents either living in urban public housing developments or a rural area approximately 40 miles away in the mid-south region. The Harter scale was utilized and the areas of competence incl…
Welfare Reform Transitions: The Effects of Emotional Well-Being on Job Status in Current Tanf Recipients
The research surrounding welfare-to-work programs suggests a number of potential factors that mediate welfare dependency including a person's emotional well-being. This study explored how emotional well-being measures of TANF recipients are related to current job type. Findings indicate perceived control self-efficacy and self-esteem were significantly correlated with jobs that paid more than minimum wage. This may suggest feelings of mastery and…
Conjoint Interventions for Adult Victims and Children of Domestic Violence: A Program Evaluation
This study documented the evaluation of a 9-week group intervention program designed to address the needs of both abused mothers and their children who have witnessed violence. The intervention was designed to increase parenting skills, address the needs of both parents and children regarding increasing coping abilities and safety planning skills, and decrease the effects of postviolence stress. Parents and children were divided into groups based…
The Motivational Implications of Characteristics of Exercise Bouts
The purpose of this research was to examine the psychological adaptations to two different exercise prescriptions. The dependent variables were three types of self-efficacy: task (for elemental aspects of the behavior); coping (for exercising under challenging circumstances); and scheduling (for arranging one's time commitments to exercise regularly). Participants were randomly assigned to one of two 12-week exercise prescriptions: a higher-inten…
Coping as a Communal Process
This paper argues for a substantial re-conceptualization of coping. The strong focus on emotional distress as the marker of coping efforts has masked the importance of social functions, processes and outcomes in coping with life stress, particularly the role of communal coping. Communal coping is a cooperative problem-solving process salient in coping with both individual and collective stressors. It involves the appraisal of a stressor as `our' …

Social Alienation in Gay Youth
The focus of this article is twofold; first, to review known risk factors for gay youth including: substance abuse, depression, suicide, and HIV risks, secondly, to determine the impact of social support factors; specifically parental, peer and religious support factors for this population. Evidence suggests that gay and lesbian youth are at high risk for isolation and subsequent psychological damage that results from social alienation. Insight i…

Alliances and War: A New Examination of an Old Problem
Within the empirical literature on international politics a perplexing-ly perennial research topic has been the relationship between alliances and war. Although much of the traditional literature of the balance of power argues that alliances are undertaken to offset aggressive powers and hence lead to peace through deterrence, most of the recent literature is derived from ideas which suggest that alliances are destabilizing and lead to war. To a …

Issues of Design and Analysis in Evaluation Research
This paper addresses the question of internal validity in quasi-experimental and nonexperimental social policy research.

Five different solutions to the problems of selection are discussed-randomization, covariance adjustment, gain scores, matching, and explicit selection-and we examine the conditions un…

Conference at the crossroads: Future prospects for the conference of the Committee on Disarmament
The Conference of the Committee on Disarmament (CCD), a 26-member committee chaired by the US and the USSR and reporting annually to the UN General Assembly, has been stalled for three years over two issues which neither super power wishes to agree on: chemical weapons and a comprehensive nuclear testing ban. As a result, the future viability of the world's only multilateral forum for negotiating arms control is in jeopardy. In recent years a mov…

Indian Attitudes on International Atomic Energy Controls
T HE NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY of i968 has been in effect since March 5, 1970, when the fortieth non-nuclear-weapon state deposited its instruments of ratification in Washington, Moscow, and London. Although almost a hundred nations have now signed the treaty, the lack of support by several threshold states will vitiate some of its significance. The most prominent recalcitrants are the two nuclear-weapon states, France and China, which ref…
