  • High-investment human resource practices and firm performance in the context of national education systems and labor markets: A cross-national meta-analysis

    Open AccessJoo Hun Han, Saehee Kang et al.ARTICLEJournal of International Business…2026

    Organizations—especially multinational corporations (MNCs)—do not always realize comparable performance gains from investing in people across national borders. Prior research has attempted to explain such variation in the effects of high-investment human resource practices (HIHRPs) by emphasizing their fit with national cultural values, yet empirical support for this cultural fit perspective has been limited. To address this gap, we focus on nati…

  • What women want: Financing a gender-responsive clean cooking transition

    Open AccessOlivia Coldrey, Philip LaRocco et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2026References: 10

    Despite the clear health, socioeconomic and climate benefits of cooking with clean fuels, many people in low- and middle-income countries are unable to do so. Women and girls experience the effects of cooking poverty most acutely. This paper explores the nexus of clean cooking, gender and finance by investigating how the financial sector can be used as a lever of change to support a gender-responsive clean cooking transition. Expert interviews wi…

  • Invisible Landscapes, Invisible People: Juniper Picking at the End of the Line

    Open AccessI Vaccaro, Ariane Lorrain et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2025

    This article documents the activities of two of the last juniper berry pickers of the Catalan Pyrenees. We describe how their work has been affected by rural depopulation, hyperregulation, and climate change. Junipers mostly grow in open pastures that are being colonized by bushes and trees. Their berries are sold to one of the main Catalan gin-making companies. Juniper berry pickers, thus, conduct their work in transitional areas: pastures in th…

  • Feminist Cyberlaw

    Geni Achnas, Diana Allan et al.BOOKFeminist Cyberlaw2024References: 66

    This vibrant and visionary reimagining of the field of cyberlaw through a feminist lens brings together emerging and established scholars and practitioners to explore how gender, race, sexuality, disability, class, and the intersections of these identities affect cyberspace and the laws that govern it. It promises to build a movement of scholars whose work charts a near future where cyberlaw is informed by feminism

  • Collaborations across Cinematic Objects: A Conversation between Pong and Sensory Ethnography Lab, Mediated by the Graduate Research Training Group “Documentary Practices: Excess and Privation”

    Open AccessCynthia Browne, Diana Allan et al.ARTICLEVisual Anthropology Review2022References: 1

    This conversation brings practitioners together from two different milieus of media production to initiate a dialogue about documentary practices as collaborative work, understood through a reflexive lens that also attends to the power relations and social differentiations inherent within its fabrication. As such, our conversation explores how filmmaking emerges through contingent and negotiated relations between filmmakers and film subjects, dif…

  • Not the Songs but the Singing: Sounding Sense in Colonial Films from British Mandate Palestine

    Diana AllanARTICLESocial research2022

    This essay considers how Palestinian history and experience might be reclaimed from colonial films from British Mandate Palestine, and how sensory and synesthetic attention developed in experimental filmmaking might bear on archival footage. Analysis focuses in particular on the possibilities of sound. My reflections draw heavily on a current work in progress, Partition, which makes extensive use of found footage from Britain’s imperial collectio…

  • An expanded HIV screening strategy in the Emergency Department fails to identify most patients with undiagnosed infection: Insights from a blinded serosurvey

    Uriel R Felsen, Lucia V Torian et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    Screening for HIV in Emergency Departments (EDs) is recommended to address the problem of undiagnosed HIV. Serosurveys are an important method for estimating the prevalence of undiagnosed HIV and can provide insight into the effectiveness of an HIV screening strategy. We performed a blinded serosurvey in an ED offering non-targeted HIV screening to determine the proportion of patients with undiagnosed HIV who were diagnosed during their visit. Th…

  • The Long Turning: A Palestinian Refugee in Belgium

    Open AccessDiana AllanARTICLECultural Anthropology2020Cited by: 7References: 8

    This article considers the duration and meaning of insecurity-as it is experienced over the course of a life and moves over borders-through the narrative of a Palestinian woman from Shatila now seeking asylum in Belgium. Structured around one person's account of the asylum process, it considers what a singular case can reveal about a collective migrant condition, the inconstant line separating secure from insecure states, and the reconstitution o…

  • This Is Not a Politics

    Diana AllanARTICLESouth Atlantic Quarterly2018Cited by: 3References: 26

    Drawing on ethnographic material from Shatila camp in Beirut and the informal gathering of Jal el Bahr in Tyre, in southern Lebanon, this article explores the possibilities suggested by various forms of collaborative practice within these marginalized communities. As the Palestinian national movement weakens, and the refugee community becomes more fractured— spatially, socially, and politically—new forms of sociality and provisional association, …

  • A Tale of Three Cities: The Life and Times of Lord Daer 1763–1794, by Bob Harris

    Open AccessDiana Allan, David AllanARTICLEThe English Historical Review2017

    Basil William Douglas, Lord Daer, is unlikely to be a well-known figure even to professional students of eighteenth-century Scotland. A minor aristocrat, who never achieved substantial celebrity in his own time and who was in any case dead from pulmonary consumption at the lamentably young age of thirty-one, he would appear on the face of it to be an unpromising subject for a full-length biography—or, as Bob Harris wisely avers, for a rather more…

  • Watching Photos in Shatila: Visualizing Politics in the 2011 March of Return

    Diana Allan, Diana K AllanARTICLEVisual Anthropology2016Cited by: 3References: 7

    This article focuses on the 2011 March of Return in Lebanon and explores the epistemic gap between image and event, examining how nationalist iconography of the Israel–Palestine conflict informs and distorts popular understanding of the political concerns of refugees. News outlets and social media distilled the march’s political symbolism into one of determination and resolve, with refugee claims directed exclusively at Israel. Camp discussions m…

  • Visual Revolutions in the Middle East

    Mark R Westmoreland, Diana Allan et al.ARTICLEVisual Anthropology2016Cited by: 1References: 6

    Five years ago images from the Arab uprisings revealed a renewed investment in political visibility. Despite the brutal outcome of most of these revolts, the centrality of seeing for understanding the dynamics of political vision and struggle in the region remains salient. Images serve as important touchstones around which political narratives emerge and cohere. In this special issue on Visual Revolutions in the Middle East, seven scholars— Diana…

  • Commemorative Economies and the Politics of Solidarity in Shatila Camp

    Diana AllanARTICLEHumanity2013

    This article examines the politics of Nakba commemoration in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon and the instrumentalization of memories of the 1948 expulsion by NGOs and factions. It considers the role eyewitness accounts of the 1948 expulsion play in the production of Palestinian nationalism in exile, as well as the transformations occurring in the way younger generations relate to this critical event. It suggests that Palestine studies may h…

  • Adjustment and Coping in Spousal Caregivers Following a Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

    Open AccessAdele Dickson, Grainne O’brien et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2012Cited by: 6References: 32

    Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 spousal caregivers to people with a traumatic spinal cord injury and were subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Here, we present two inter-related master themes: (1) coping with the spousal caregiver role; and (2) putting the pieces back together again. Within these, the analysis describes how regular venting of emotion, social support and focusing on the positive aspects of…

  • On the Dangers of Pulling a Fast One: Advertisement Disclaimer Speed, Brand Trust, and Purchase Intention

    Kenneth C Herbst, E J Finkel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Consumer Research2012Cited by: 3References: 42

    Two experiments demonstrated that fast (vs. normal-paced) end-of-advertisement disclaimers undermine consumers’ purchase intention toward untrusted brands (both trust-unknown and not-trusted brands), but that disclaimer speed has no effect on consumers’ purchase intention toward trusted brands. The differential effects of disclaimer speed for untrusted versus trusted brands were not due to differences in consumers’ familiarity with the brands (ex…

  • The Mavi Marmara At The Frontlines Of Web 2.0

    Diana Allan, C Mackenzie Brown et al.ARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies2010Cited by: 8

    This essay reviews the "YouTube war" over the deadly raid on the Mavi Marmara in light of Israel's recent forays into social media. It explores the implications of state use of grassroots media platforms, examines the widespread perception that this has been a fiasco thus far for Israel, and critiques general claims that the rise of Web 2.0 entails a democratic "leveling" effect in information wars like that over Israel-Palestine

  • From Nationalist to Economic Subject: Emergent Economic Networks among Shatila's Women

    Diana AllanARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies2009References: 1

    This article revisits Rosemary Sayigh9s theory of ““culture as resistance”” and considers how primordial attachments of kin and village, and by extension nation, in Shatila camp are being reconfigured by deepening poverty and provisionality. Shifting analytical attention away from the discursive continuities of nationalism toward the contingencies of everyday material practice in its local environment, the article examines how dynamically evolvin…
