  • The Coloniality of Data: Police Databases and the Rationalization of Surveillance from Colonial Vietnam to the Modern Carceral State

    Open Access•C Hughes•ARTICLE•British Journal of Sociology•2025•References: 26

    Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally-assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of colonial racial capitalism-from the Age of Imperialism through the Cold War and into the historical present. S…

  • Probing a Neural Network Model of Sound Change for Perceptual Integration

    Open Access•C Hughes, Cerys Ashley Hughes•ARTICLE•Proceedings of the Annual…•2023

    The cross-linguistic tendency for contrast shifts to occur between some cues more than others has been investigated typologically and experimentally (Yang 2019), but with less attention in computational modeling. This paper adapts a human experimental paradigm (Kingston et al. 2008) to the speech perception component of a neural network model of sound change (Beguš 2020) to better understand how it processes acoustic cues in the context of Yang’s…

  • Conditional Cash Transfers and Migration: Reconciling Feminist Theoretical Approaches With the New Economics of Labor Migration

    Open Access•C Hughes•ARTICLE•Demography•2021•Cited by: 3•References: 31

    In 2019, I published a study titled “Reexamining the Influence of Conditional Cash Transfers on Migration from a Gendered Lens,” to which Oded Stark has since issued a formal comment. This response has been written to address the major themes of Stark's comment. While the first three sections focus on specific items related to framing, selection bias, and endogeneity, the fourth and final section tackles a more substantive theoretical debate betw…

  • When Does Social Capital Matter for Migration? A Study of Networks, Brokers, and Migrants in Nepal

    Open Access•Nathalie E Williams, C Hughes et al.•ARTICLE•International Migration Review•2020•Cited by: 6•References: 39

    The study of social capital has been one of the strongest areas of recent advance in migration research, but there are still many questions about how it works and why it has varying effects in studies of different places. In this article, we address the contextual variation in social capital’s effects on migration by considering migration brokers. We argue that destinations for which migration is logistically difficult to arrange give rise to bro…

  • Family Obligation Attitudes, Gender, and Migration

    C Hughes, Prem Bhandari et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Sociology•2020•Cited by: 2•References: 18

    This study focuses on attitudes related to fulfilling family obligations and their relationships to migration behavior. We hypothesize that men who highly value fulfilling family obligations will be more likely to migrate in order to fulfill material obligations while women who highly value fulfilling family obligations will be less likely to migrate in order to fulfill care obligations. The empirical analysis examines data from the Chitwan Valle…

  • Influences of Material Aspirations on Migration

    Open Access•Arland Thornton, Nathalie E Williams et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•2019•Cited by: 9•References: 63

    In this article, we investigate the influences of material aspirations on migration in Nepal, positing that material aspirations may have important influences on decisions to migrate and where to locate. We discuss a theoretical model explaining how these aspirations might be key influences in the migration decision. Using detailed continuous migration histories from the 2008–2012 Chitwan Valley Family Study, we estimate logistic and alternative-…

  • Reexamining the Influence of Conditional Cash Transfers on Migration From a Gendered Lens

    Open Access•C Hughes•ARTICLE•Demography•2019•Cited by: 6•References: 34

    Past research on the influence of conditional cash transfers—widespread antipoverty programs—on migration has tended to focus on beneficiaries as a homogenous unit. Drawing on feminist critiques of the contemporary international antipoverty agenda, this article views both conditional cash transfer programs and migration patterns from a gender-sensitive lens. Conditional cash transfers rely on a gendered division of labor in which the informal wor…

  • Re-turning feminist methodologies: From a Social to an Ecological Epistemology

    C Hughes, Celia Lury•ARTICLE•Gender and Education•2013•Cited by: 21•References: 16

    This paper proposes an ecological methodology in order to re-think the concept of situatedness in ways that can take into account that we live in relation to, and are of, a more-and-other-than-human world. In doing so, the paper proposes that situatedness should be understood in terms of processes of co-invention that, fractally and recursively, open onto other co-inventions that include the non-human. The paper illustrates this through the conce…

  • Young Socialist Men in 1960s Britain: Subjectivity and Sociability

    C Hughes•ARTICLE•History Workshop Journal•2012•Cited by: 1

    This article examines the political, social and psychological experiences of a group of young working-class men who in the early-to-mid 1960s became active members in branches of the Labour Party Young Socialists. Concentrated in London's East End, these branches had become increasingly open to the politics of International Socialism, a tiny libertarian Trotskyist group that provided these young men with a political education and a social circle,…

  • Pleasure, change and values in doctoral pedagogy

    C Hughes•ARTICLE•Studies in Higher Education•2011

    This article explores pleasure in terms of the values of independent judgement, writerly authority, originality and singularity associated with doctoral study. It also considers how pleasure can be understood as a mode of experience that acts as a force for change. Here, the article takes a broad Deleuzian approach that is concerned with our capacities to affect and be affected. The data presented illustrates the complexity of pleasure in academi…

  • Gender, craft labour and the creative sector

    This paper responds to a resurgence of interest in craft labour as an integral aspect of policy generation in the creative sector. It highlights the local, and industrial, cultural, and political histories and processes that create divisions and distinctions within craft economies. Drawing on research with designer makers in Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, the paper demonstrates how gender infuses the responses of policy actors in their regeneratio…

  • The Methodological Impact of Feminism: A Troubling Issue for Sociology

    Open Access•Ronald L Cohen, Rachel Lara Cohen et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2011•Cited by: 7•References: 19

    As British sociology seeks to overcome a historical distaste for quantitative research methods, one of the discipline's most dynamic sub-fields may prove troublesome. Feminist research thrives both within and outside sociology. As such it provides new insights and enriches the discipline, something recognized by the 2010 Benchmarking Review of Sociology. Yet feminist research has long been associated with an antipathy towards quantitative methods…

    We are delighted to be presenting this special issue on the topic of feminism and quantitative methods. We believe that such an issue is exceptionally timely. This is not simply because of ongoing debates around quantification within the field of feminism and women‟s studies. It is also because of debates within the wider research community about the development of appropriate methodologies that take account of new technological and philosophical…

  • The pleasures of learning at work: Foucault and phenomenology compared

    C Hughes•ARTICLE•British Journal of Sociology of…•2007•Cited by: 1•References: 12

    This paper provides a comparative account of two conceptualisations of pleasure. The first draws on Foucault’s analysis of bio‐power. The second provides a phenomenological account where pleasure is viewed as an aspect of our immediate consciousness. These conceptualisations are illuminated through an analysis of employees’ accounts of learning at work. Overall, the paper demonstrates how, in a Foucauldian analysis, pleasure disappears as it beco…

  • The Equality of Social Envies

    Open Access•C Hughes•ARTICLE•Sociology•2007•Cited by: 3•References: 18

    Although envy is commonly understood as such a vice that it is listed as one of the seven deadly sins, envy is a site where concerns over inequalities and exploitation are articulated. In addition, although we often correlate envy with the expression of illegitimate resentments, this is not necessarily always the case. Cer tain forms of envious feelings can be viewed as arising quite legitimately in response to distributive inequalities. However,…

    Open Access•C Hughes•ARTICLE•European Journal of Women s Studies•2004•References: 1

    In this ‘Open Letter’ the author raises a number of concerns about the role of critique in feminist writing. She does this by exploring an article that represents, for her, a particularly bad case of the lack of generosity that can arise in the treatment of another’s work. The author argues that, to develop greater generosity in our critical engagement with each other’s work, we should make greater use of our reflexive imaginations in order to ta…

  • Tongue Sandwiches and Bagel Days: Sex, Food and Mind‐Body Dualism

    Open Access•Lynne Baxter, C Hughes•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2004•Cited by: 6•References: 8

    The substantive content of our paper is that of mind‐body dualism, which we explore through food metaphors. However, our primary aim is to use these food metaphors to explore the difficulties in going beyond dualistic thinking. We do this by focusing on dualism as a learnt state of being. Accordingly, and using an analysis of pedagogies of the everyday that takes account of particular communities of practice, we seek to demonstrate the (re)produc…

    This article responds to concerns that research in the field of careers needs to bring together an action perspective with a recognition of the continuing impact of structural and cultural imperatives. To do so this article presents a symptomatic study. Through the concept of pedagogies of the everyday, this combines an action orientation with a recognition of how such pedagogies operate within networks of power. Specifically, the article argues …

  • Deconstructing Dissemination: Dissemination as Qualitative Research

    Open Access•Vivienne Barnes, Deanne Lynn Clouder et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Research•2003•Cited by: 5•References: 8

    This article offers a critique of dissemination models that are based on technical rationalist ontologies. We argue that such models privilege a particularly narrow set of meaning and in consequence preclude other ways through which we might imagine dissemination acts. Our article therefore seeks to deconstruct dissemination in order to illuminate the ethical, political and communicative issues that lie at the heart of dissemination practices and…

  • Writing on academic careers

    Loraine Blaxter, C Hughes et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Higher Education•1998•Cited by: 13•References: 14

    During the last two decades the higher education system in the UK has moved from an élite to a mass orientation, while academic careers have become less secure and more demanding, and a greater accountability has been imposed upon the system. In the light of these changes, it is appropriate to ask what is known about the nature of academic work. For the purposes of this article, academic work has been conceptualised as involving one or more of fi…

  • The pleasures of learning at work: Foucault and phenomenology compared

    C Hughes•ARTICLE•British Journal of Sociology of…•2007•Cited by: 1•References: 12

    This paper provides a comparative account of two conceptualisations of pleasure. The first draws on Foucault’s analysis of bio‐power. The second provides a phenomenological account where pleasure is viewed as an aspect of our immediate consciousness. These conceptualisations are illuminated through an analysis of employees’ accounts of learning at work. Overall, the paper demonstrates how, in a Foucauldian analysis, pleasure disappears as it beco…

  • The Equality of Social Envies

    Open Access•C Hughes•ARTICLE•Sociology•2007•Cited by: 3•References: 18

    Although envy is commonly understood as such a vice that it is listed as one of the seven deadly sins, envy is a site where concerns over inequalities and exploitation are articulated. In addition, although we often correlate envy with the expression of illegitimate resentments, this is not necessarily always the case. Cer tain forms of envious feelings can be viewed as arising quite legitimately in response to distributive inequalities. However,…

  • Feminists really do count: The complexity of feminist methodologies

    C Hughes, Ronald L Cohen•ARTICLE•International Journal of Social…•2010•Cited by: 7•References: 12

    We are delighted to be presenting this special issue on the topic of feminism and quantitative methods. We believe that such an issue is exceptionally timely. This is not simply because of ongoing debates around quantification within the field of feminism and women‟s studies. It is also because of debates within the wider research community about the development of appropriate methodologies that take account of new technological and philosophical…

  • Pleasure, change and values in doctoral pedagogy

    C Hughes•ARTICLE•Studies in Higher Education•2011

    This article explores pleasure in terms of the values of independent judgement, writerly authority, originality and singularity associated with doctoral study. It also considers how pleasure can be understood as a mode of experience that acts as a force for change. Here, the article takes a broad Deleuzian approach that is concerned with our capacities to affect and be affected. The data presented illustrates the complexity of pleasure in academi…

  • Gender, craft labour and the creative sector

    This paper responds to a resurgence of interest in craft labour as an integral aspect of policy generation in the creative sector. It highlights the local, and industrial, cultural, and political histories and processes that create divisions and distinctions within craft economies. Drawing on research with designer makers in Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, the paper demonstrates how gender infuses the responses of policy actors in their regeneratio…

  • The Methodological Impact of Feminism: A Troubling Issue for Sociology

    Open Access•Ronald L Cohen, Rachel Lara Cohen et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2011•Cited by: 7•References: 19

    As British sociology seeks to overcome a historical distaste for quantitative research methods, one of the discipline's most dynamic sub-fields may prove troublesome. Feminist research thrives both within and outside sociology. As such it provides new insights and enriches the discipline, something recognized by the 2010 Benchmarking Review of Sociology. Yet feminist research has long been associated with an antipathy towards quantitative methods…

  • Young Socialist Men in 1960s Britain: Subjectivity and Sociability

    C Hughes•ARTICLE•History Workshop Journal•2012•Cited by: 1

    This article examines the political, social and psychological experiences of a group of young working-class men who in the early-to-mid 1960s became active members in branches of the Labour Party Young Socialists. Concentrated in London's East End, these branches had become increasingly open to the politics of International Socialism, a tiny libertarian Trotskyist group that provided these young men with a political education and a social circle,…

  • Re-turning feminist methodologies: From a Social to an Ecological Epistemology

    C Hughes, Celia Lury•ARTICLE•Gender and Education•2013•Cited by: 21•References: 16

    This paper proposes an ecological methodology in order to re-think the concept of situatedness in ways that can take into account that we live in relation to, and are of, a more-and-other-than-human world. In doing so, the paper proposes that situatedness should be understood in terms of processes of co-invention that, fractally and recursively, open onto other co-inventions that include the non-human. The paper illustrates this through the conce…
