  • From Braemar to Hollywood: The American Appropriation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Pirates

    Open AccessR J Hill, Laura Eidam et al.ARTICLEHumanities2020

    The pirate tropes that pervade popular culture today can be traced in large part to Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 novel, Treasure Island. However, it is the novel’s afterlife on film that has generated fictional pirates as we now understand them. By tracing the transformation of the author’s pirate captain, Long John Silver, from N. C. Wyeth’s illustrations (1911) through the cinematic performances of Wallace Beery (1934) and Robert Newton (1950)…

  • Polydactyly in the prehistoric American Southwest

    Open AccessD Troy Case, R J Hill et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2006

    General surveys of skeletal collections from Arizona for evidence of trauma and pathology led to the identification of polydactyly in two subadults. Polydactyly is a congenital condition characterised by the presence of extra digits on the hands or feet. Both affected subadults exhibit a sixth digit in the form of a branching fifth metatarsal. One of the affected individuals is an infant from the Tapia del Cerrito site exhibiting Y-shaped fifth m…

  • Teaching electrodynamic levitation theory

    Open AccessR J Hill, R HillARTICLEIEEE Transactions on Education1990

    A theoretical approach to teaching the principles of electrodynamic levitation is described. Two theories are used to obtain analytical solutions to predict the performance of a simple MAGLEY arrangement. The first theory, based on Maxwell's equations and vector force relationships, is for a simplified model allowing for a finite-thickness track conductor. The second theory is for a thin plate track and is a straightforward calculation of the lif…

  • A New Academic Marketplace

    R J Hill, Dolores L BurkeARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1990

    This book examines faculty mobility in the 1980s from the perspective of process and market environment, and makes comparisons between current research findings and those reported by Theodore Caplow and Reece McGee in 1958 in The Academic Marketplace. The present study, like the earlier one, encompasses faculty recruitment, including search and selection procedures and effect, and the circumstances of termination, such as denial of tenure, volunt…

    During the past decade within sociology, the opportunity structures and the sizes of the professional pools have been different for women from those for minorities. Women have progressed within our professional ranks. The progress of minorities has been more limited. Our experience suggests that affirmative action strategies need review and revision

  • Segregation, Community Consciousness, and Black Power

    Open AccessCalvin J Larson, R J HillARTICLEJournal of Black Studies1972

    According to Carmichael and Hamilton (1967: 44), the fundamental premise of the black power thesis is that: Before a group can enter the open society, it must first close ranks. By this we mean that group solidarity is necessary before a group can operate effectively from a bargaining position of strength in a pluralistic As they see it, in order to radically improve economic and social well-being, black people must act to deliberately separate t…

  • Differential Ghetto Organization

    R J Hill, Calvin J LarsonARTICLEPhylon (19601971

    IN HIS VARIOUS CRITICAL ESSAYS on the nature of contemporary black militancy, Christopher Lasch poses the general question which this paper is addressed. Lasch writes: question is whether the ghetto sub-culture gives much support its members.' Lasch immediately provides his own answer this query. It is precisely because the chief characteristics of the ghetto culture are despair and self-hatred that black nationalism has arisen as a radical cultu…

  • French Strategy after de Gaulle

    Open AccessR J Hill, Rickey HillARTICLEInternational Journal Canada s…1968

    Attempts to estimate the nature of French strategy in the future suffer from difficulties common to all analyses of French policy at the present time. They turn on assessments of the nature of Gaullism and depend on evaluations of General de Gaulle's success in establishing his system of government in France. No one can say with absolute certainty that he fully understands Gaullist plans, or that he is able to set out all the priorities in French…

    Charles R Tittle, R J HillARTICLESociometry1967Cited by: 27

    The relation of attitude measures to other behavior continues to be problematic. This paper reanalyzes the issue from a methodological point of view. Reconsideration of available evidence suggests that the degree of correspondence observed is at least a function of (1) the measurement technique used, (2) the extent to which the criterion behavior constitutes action within the range of common experience, and (3) the degree to which the criterion b…

  • Social Conformity and Attitude Change Within Nonlaboratory Groups

    Lewis F Carter, R J Hill et al.ARTICLESociometry1967Cited by: 1

    The attempt is made to utilize the findings of experimental studies to account for conformity in non-laboratory, small groups. Conformity is examined in 42 training groups of supervisory-level, professional nurses. The results suggest that laboratory findings can not be applied directly to the non-laboratory situation. A model incorporating direction of deviance, change in group norms, and the social context surrounding the group is developed. Th…

    A content analysis of all issues of four of the leading sociological journals for the most recent five-year period indicates a lack of agreement and research continuity with respect to the use of measurement procedures. Of the 986 different scales and indices found, fewer than one-fourth were used more than once, and only 1.6 percent were used or cited more than five times
