Enabling Spaces; Rethinking Materiality and the Invitational Character of Institutional Environments
This article explores how physical surroundings may be integrated as a supportive measure in social work efforts. Drawing on ecological psychology and the concept of liminality, the article presents a case study of Kofoed's School (KS), a social institution in Copenhagen, Denmark. In recent years, KS has undergone a major renovation, opening up previously sheltered workshops to the public. By creating liminal spaces of possibility, where students…
Writing the Balfour Declaration into the Mandate for Palestine
The Balfour Declaration was an important statement of intent, but it was only one of several wartime statements by British officials about Britain’s future plans for Palestine. It was the inclusion of the declaration in the text of the mandate for Palestine that gave this pledge the status of international law and set off two decades of argument over its fulfilment. This article tracks the process by which the declaration came to be included in t…
Teaching Digital Circuit Design With a 3-D Video Game: The Impact of Using In-Game Tools on Students’ Performance
Contribution: This article presents the design of in-game tools to support learning within an educational video game and investigates the impact of tool usage on engineering students' performance in an introductory digital circuit design course. Background: Despite the level of appeal of video games to college students, there is a lack of empirical evidence of how to design effective games to address educational goals. One component of games that…
Implications of Assessing Student-Driven Projects: A Case Study of Possible Challenges and an Argument for Reflexivity
Employing student-driven project work in a higher education setting challenges not only the way in which we understand students’ learning and how we define the expected learning outcomes, it also challenges our ways of assessing students’ learning. This paper will address this question specifically and illustrate with a case that highlights some of the challenges that may arise in practice when assessing student-driven, problem-based projects. Th…
Ben Pimlott Memorial Lecture 2018The Women’s Suffrage Movement in the Balfour Family
Given on the centenary of women's suffrage, this lecture explores the tensions and conflicts the claim for the vote raised among elite women already enmeshed in parliamentary and political circles. Drawing on the unbuttoned and sometimes angry correspondence among A.J. Balfour's suffragist sisters-in-law Lady Frances Balfour and Lady Betty Balfour, Frances' collaborator (and suffragist leader) Millicent Fawcett, Lady Betty's militant suffragette …
An International Regime in an Age of Empire
A century after the victorious Allied powers distributed their spoils of victory in 1919, the world still lives with the geopolitical consequences of the mandates system established by the League of Nations. The Covenant article authorizing the new imperial dispensation came cloaked in the old civilizationist discourse, entrusting sovereignty over "peoples not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world" to …
D aniel B rückenhaus . Policing Transnational Protest: Liberal Imperialism and the Surveillance of Anticolonialists in Europe, 1905–1945
In Policing Transnational Protest, Daniel Brückenhaus tracks how Britain and France constructed transnational policing practices and institutions in the first half of the twentieth century in order to monitor and combat anti-imperial movements that were, themselves, increasingly international. Indian and Indochinese activists had discovered even before World War I that anticolonial organizing might be less harshly repressed in the imperial metrop…
Historicizing affordance theory: A rendezvous between ecological psychology and cultural-historical activity theory
The aim of this article is to discuss how mutually enriching points from both affordance theory and cultural-historical activity theory can promote theoretical ideas which may prove useful as analytical tools for the study of human life and human development. There are two issues that need to be overcome in order to explore the potentials of James Gibson’s affordance theory: it does not sufficiently theorize (a) development and (b) society. We cl…
Youth Development as Subjectified Subjectivity – a Dialectical-Ecological Model of Analysis
The Guardians: The League of Nations and the Crisis of Empire
The First World War threw the imperial order into crisis. The land empires fragmented, while Germany's colonies and the Ottoman Empire's Middle East provinces fell into allied hands. All Allied powers wanted to keep those conquests, but Woodrow Wilson and millions around the globe afire for self-determination thought otherwise. At the Paris Peace conference it was agreed that the new conquests would be governed under ‘mandate’ from the League of …
Catholicism, Feminism, and the Politics of the Family during the late Third Republic
Independent social supports for all mothers—"the endowment of motherhood"— can be seen as the ultimate vision of maternalist feminism. The French institution of family allowances was one of the success stories of social intervention in the interwar period. Although the introduction of social insurance in France lagged twenty years behind Britain and forty years behind Germany, in the case of family allowances business interests complemented the p…
Samoa on the World Stage: Petitions and Peoples before the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations
One of the innovative aspects of the mandates system of the League of Nations, the oversight regime applied to the former German and Ottoman territories seized by the Allied Powers in the First World War, was that it included a right of petition. Inhabitants of any territory governed under mandate, or any interested outsider, could petition the League of Nations if they believed that the stipulations laid down in Article 22 of the League Covenant…
Getting Out of Iraq—in 1932: The League of Nations and the Road to Normative Statehood
ON OCTOBER 3, 1932, THE thirteenth annual assembly of the League of Nations voted unanimously to admit the Kingdom of Iraq to membership. Part of the Ottoman territory occupied by the Allied powers during the First World War and then turned over to British administration under League of Nations oversight, Iraq was the first—and would, in fact, remain the only—mandated territory to shed its tutelary status and be granted independence through colle…

Back to the League of Nations
For the two decades of its effective existence, the League of Nations was a favored subject of academic research. International lawyers, historians, and political scientists across the globe scrutinized and debated every aspect of its working; leading American scholars of the period—among them James Shotwell, Quincy Wright, and Raymond Leslie Buell—devoted much of their lives to investigating (and often to supporting) its ideals.1 The League's de…
What is Political History Now?
Of all forms of historical writing, political history is surely the one that needs no justification. Since it treats questions of power and resistance, authority and legitimacy, order and obedience, not only professional historians but everyone hoping to live out their days in a modicum of peace and prosperity has a stake in such scholarship. Questions of the ways in which political systems evolve and gain legitimacy, the character and actions of…

Hannah More Meets Simple Simon: Tracts, Chapbooks, and Popular Culture in Late Eighteenth-Century England
During the winter of scarcity of 1794, Hannah More wrote “a few moral stories,” drew up a plan for publication and distribution, and sent the package around to her evangelical and bluestocking friends. Their response was enthusiastic; even Horace Walpole abandoned his usual teasing to write back, “I will never more complain of your silence; for I am perfectly convinced that you have no idle, no unemployed moments. Your indefatigable benevolence i…
