Meta-Analysis for Math Teachers’ Professional Development and Students’ Achievement
Background: Recent research emphasizes the need to synthesize empirical studies on “K–12” math teachers’ professional development (PD) programs and their impact on student learning. Objective: This meta-analysis examines how teachers’ participation in PD programs affects students’ math achievement, analyzing the influence of program characteristics, such as duration, PD teaching approach, modality, grade level, type of math content, PD category, …
Popular Culture Forms: Zoos
The number of zoos (zoological gardens) around the world grew dramatically during the twentieth century from 120 in 1920, to 309 by 1959, to 883 by 1978, though their visitor numbers peaked in the 1960s. By the 1980s, however, zoos still rivaled most other leisure attractions. San Diego and Washington zoos are both visited by over 3 million people annually, London Zoo by over 1.3 million, Berlin Zoo by 2.5 million, Ueno Zoological Gardens in Toky…
The Routledge International Handbook of More-than-Human Studies
This chapter reviews how ethical claims have been mobilised in more-than-human studies over the last 25 years. It outlines a braided historical sketch of the field’s ethical gestures: revealing hybridity through the mixing of nature and culture; encountering contaminating difference through particular species and places; the promise of mutual flourishing and alliance through world-building and care. I then assess how successfully these ethical ge…
The Separation
This chapter first introduces a vibrant and ambitious research field that revolutionised and reorientated the sciences and the humanities simultaneously. It includes an introduction to the more-than-human field of research, identifies its origins, defines its principal characteristics, variants, scope and objectives, and provides a concise introduction to the book’s global coverage and authors. But this research field was called into existence by…
Carnival Relocated? Popular Culture and the Carnivalesque in Colonial Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania)
This article re-evaluates the historical research on the carnivalesque rituals that arrived in Van Diemen's Land (VDL) with British convicts, their colonial minders and free settlers. The revaluation deploys more theoretically informed understandings of carnivalesque ritual (using Bakhtin, Zemon Davis, le Roy Ladurie, Bristol, Underdown, Durston and others), coupled with more recent historical understandings of carnivalesque ritual in Britain at …
I am more than just my label: Rights, fights, validation and negotiation. Exploring theoretical debates on childhood disability with disabled young people
Through the creation of safe spaces in which to explore and challenge dominant negative views of disabled children and young people, this co-written paper presents unique insight into the meaning and impact upon disabled young people's lives of medical lenses and deficit models of disability. Bodies of work and dominant debates in medical sociology, disability studies and childhood studies have so far largely overlooked the experiences and positi…
Places of belonging, loneliness and lockdown
We report new data from a survey of loneliness in Australia during the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020-21, in order to identify those age groups most at risk of increased loneliness. Counter-intuitively, proportionately fewer elderly Australians experienced increased loneliness as a result of lockdowns, as compared with 44% of those aged 19-29 and 31% of those aged 40-49. To explain this pattern, we investigated how lockdowns disturbed the complex con…

Editorial
The Adelaide Festival and the development of arts in Adelaide
This paper asks: why, given the Australian city of Adelaide’s early intervention to embed a flagship arts festival, has it failed to develop as an arts city with a more democratized cultural terroir, with greater diversity and inclusion? We argue that part of the answer lies in the continuing influence of its flagship Adelaide Festival, which, from the beginning, was not of, and for, the entire city, nor “art for all,” but very much the opposite.…
Young, Disabled and LGBT: Voices, Identities and Intersections
‘You're not sure that you are gay yet’: The perpetuation of the ‘phase’ in the lives of young disabled LGBT + people
Contemporary discourse on sexuality presents a picture of fluidity and malleability, with research continuing to frame sexuality as negotiable, within certain parameters and social structures. Such investigation is fraught with difficulties, due in part to the fact that as one explores how identity shifts, language terms such as ‘phase’ emerge conjuring images of a definitive path towards an end-goal, as young people battle through a period of co…
The medicalisation of disabled children and young people in child sexual abuse: Impacts on prevention, identification, response and recovery in the United Kingdom
Understandings of disability are situated within social, political and economic circumstances. Internationally, medical conceptualisations of disability prevail, influencing policy and practice, creating a discourse which encourages categorisation, diagnosis and prescribed ways of understanding behaviour. This body of knowledge has a profound influence, providing powerful explanatory models of disability. Such discourse excludes other ways of kno…
Young disabled and LGBT: Negotiating identity
Disabled people are historically de-sexualized and labelled as non-sexual, incapable or uninterested in sex/relationships. This perception does much to reinforce social inequalities and misconceptions about disabled sexuality and gender. For young people who are LGBT + the task of negotiating their identity and making sense of who they are is challenging. Not only is their sexuality and gender invalidated by wider society, they are also marginali…
Challenging dominant notions of participation and protection through a co-led disabled young researcher study
Purpose In the UK, the Children and Families Act aims to create one assessment process for children with special educational needs or disability, through Education, Health and Care Plans. It also aims for greater participation from children and young people in decisions about their own lives. Current evidence suggests that children’s needs and desires across education, health and social care are not being fully met, partly because adult agendas d…
Towards an understanding of loneliness among Australian men: Gender cultures, embodied expression and the social bases of belonging
Recent quantitative investigations consistently single out considerable gender variations in the experience of loneliness in Australia, and in particular how men are especially prone to protracted and serious episodes of loneliness. In 2017 the Director of Lifeline implicated loneliness as a significant factor in suicide among Australian men - currently three times the rate of suicide among women. Compared to women men also struggle to talk about…
Children with albinism in African regions: Their rights to ‘being’ and ‘doing’
BACKGROUND: Albinism is an inherited condition with a relatively high prevalence in populations throughout sub-Saharan Africa. People with oculocutaneous albinism have little or no pigment in their hair, skin and eyes; thus they are visually impaired and extremely sensitive to the damaging effect of the sun on their skin. Aside from the health implications of oculocutaneous albinism, there are also significant sociocultural risks. The impacts of …
Listening to Young People with Learning Disabilities Who Have Experienced, or Are at Risk of, Child Sexual Exploitation in the UK
This paper reports on a UK study which examined the identification of, and support for young people with learning disabilities who experience, or are at risk of, child sexual exploitation ( CSE ). CSE has received considerable attention in the UK , with evidence suggesting an increased risk for young people with learning disabilities. However, no study has specifically focused on this group, and their voices remain largely unheard. In‐depth inter…
Art tourism: A new field for tourist studies
This article argues the case for art tourism as a new field of tourist studies. At present, art tourism is currently obscured under cultural tourism’s voluminous bounds – which are as inappropriate as they are unwieldy and overloaded. More specifically, it cannot adequately contain art tourism’s distinctive origins, forms of experience and articulation between art worlds, cities and regions and tourism industries. In part, a more dedicated resear…
Aimless and Absurd Wanderings'? Children at the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona)
This article reports on the experience of children at the Museum of New and Old Art (Mona) in Hobart, Tasmania. Referred to by its innovative owner as a 'subversive adult Disneyland', Mona went further than most new contemporary art galleries in designing a radically new experience of art. It captured the imagination of people new to art in its own locality as well as a global art public. Favoured by leading international contemporary artists for…
Nature
The sociological analysis of nature as it is used in the modern west, by specific cultures and space(s), is fraught with definitional problems, notably the seemingly very different and overlapping senses of the word “nature.” Raymond Williams called it the most complex word in the language but is able to show that it is usually not difficult to distinguish its varied meanings. Three meanings can be distinguished: (1) nature as an essential qualit…
It's a Museum, But Not as We Know It: Issues for Local Residents Accessing the Museum of Old and New Art
The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), in Australia's island state of Tasmania, bears all the hallmarks of the new museology and a flagship museum. Located in a largely working class area, there are expectations of visitors from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, particularly local residents. However most visitors are tourists, middle-class, and highly educated. In this article, the authors ask, “What are the issues affecting accessibility to MONA…

Cultural Reproduction
Cultural reproduction is frequently considered to describe how cultural forms (e.g., social inequality, privilege, elite status, ethnicity) and cultures themselves are transmitted intact, from one generation to another. This idea emanates strongly from original work by Pierre Bourdieu in the 1970s on the role of the education process in reproducing class inequality and from ethnographic classics such as Paul Willis's Learning to Labour (1977), wh…
Popular Culture Forms: Culture and Icons
Sociologists have addressed a wide range of topics under the heading of popular culture. In fact, there are far too many to cover adequately in this encyclopedia. Thus, a decision was made to give at least a sense of this literature by sampling some of the key topics examined by sociologists and offering an indication of the way in which they have been covered. A variety of forms of popular culture are considered: the beach, hip‐hop, jazz, P2P, r…
The more-than-human city
That the modern city should be a purified space of human habitation, a humanist citadel, constructed for, and by humanity alone, was an implicit assumption in urban studies until recently. We might say that urban studies has always been part of this humanist fantasy since it is hard to find a time when non-human elements and actants were not important to the life chances of cities everywhere. Not surprisingly, in 1970 Ray Pahl paid little attenti…
The trouble with tourism and travel theory
We would like to take this chance to welcome readers to this new journal and sketch out some of its aims at what we think is an exciting and challenging time for work on tourism.The main impetus for founding a new tourism journal was that in our view and in the minds of many key contributors to the tourism field, tourism studies had become stale, tired, repetitive and lifeless. At a time when John Urry has just launched his Sociology Beyond Socie…

Tourism as an ordering: Towards a new ontology of tourism
This article offers an entirely different way of understanding the origins, significance and relational materialism of tourism. Borrowing from the emergent sociology of ordering, which combines aspects of Foucault’s notion of governance with ‘post-ANT’ insistence on relational materialism, it shows how tourism came to be a heterogenous assemblage ‘at large’ in the world, remaking the world anew as a touristic world; a world to be seen, felt, inte…

The Mangle in Practice: Science, Society, and Becoming
In The Mangle of Practice (1995), the renowned sociologist of science Andrew Pickering argued for a reconceptualization of research practice as a “mangle,” an open-ended, evolutionary, and performative interplay of human and non-human agency. While Pickering’s ideas originated in science and technology studies, this collection aims to extend the mangle’s reach by exploring its application across a wide range of fields including history, philosoph…
Be[a]ware of the Dog: A Post-Humanist Approach to Housing
Alongside much talk of the dissolution of a nature /culture binary view of the world, there is also, symmetrically, considerable change observed in the performance of relations with non-humans and the proliferation of hybrids (Latour 1993 Latour, B. 1993. We have never been modern, New York: Harvester Wheatsheaf. [Google Scholar], Haraway 2003 Haraway, D. 2003. The companion species manifesto, Chicago: Prickly Paradigm Press. [Google Scholar]). T…
Neo-Darwinian Leisures, the Body and Nature: Hunting and Angling in Modernity
Against most social constructivist accounts of hunting this paper seeks to identify an embodied account of hunting and angling as a means of understanding its paradoxical popularity in late modernity. It evaluates the significance of two pro-hunting and angling discourses, those of Isaak Walton and Neo-Darwinian writers and argues that the appeal of hunting and angling, as evidenced through their copious literatures, descends from Walton rather t…

The Tourist Syndrome: An Interview with Zygmunt Bauman
This interview with one of the world’s leading sociologists, Zygmunt Bauman, explores how his work on liquid modernity, consumerism, space, hospitality, the ‘full planet’ and extra territoriality impact on tourism theory. This interview launches perhaps a new concept, that of ‘the tourist syndrome’ and examines the importance of tourism in providing a platform for the exploration of difference and otherness. As with all of his work Bauman is keen…
Burning Cities: A Posthumanist Account of Australians and Eucalypts
In this paper I want to ask whether there is anything to be gained by taking seriously a posthumanist analysis of the relationship between humanity and the natural world, one that in fact extinguishes the dualism and produces only 'naturecultures'. I will examine this question through a new analysis of the relationship between gum trees and Australia. Most humanist accounts, such as those developed in 'traditional' social anthropology and sociolo…

Animals and modernity: Changing Human-Animal Relations, 1949-98
In this article we provide an empirical test of Franklin's (1999) recent contribution to the burgeoning study of human-animal relations. Drawing on the anthropological claim that animals are good to think with, Franklin used theories of reflexive modernization to explain a shift to increasingly zoocentric and sentimentalized relations with animals. After deriving a series of expectations from this account, we tested them through a content-analysi…
Australian hunting and angling sports and the changing nature of human-animal relations in Australia
While broad international currents of change affected human-animal relations in Australia, the precise course and pattern of change was influenced by changes specific to Australian society. The paper suggests that two discourses are especially significant in specifying the nature of change. First, a colonial dis course ( Britainisation), which sentimentalised British species and sought to implant them in Australia, and second, a nationalising dis…
Human-Nonhuman Animal Relationships in Australia: An Overview of Results from the First National Survey and Follow-up Case Studies 2000-2004
This paper provides an overview of results from an Australian Research Council-funded project "Sentiments and Risks: The Changing Nature of Human-Animal Relations in Australia." The data discussed come from a survey of 2000 representative Australians at the capital city, state, and rural regional level. It provides both a snapshot of the state of involvement of Australians with nonhuman animals and their views on critical issues: ethics, rights, …
On Fox-hunting and Angling: Norbert Elias and the 'Sportisation' Process
This paper examines Norbert Elias's thesis on the 'sportisation process' in the light of two hunting sports, fox-hunting and angling. While this analysis of fox-hunting is found unconvincing, his approach proves particularly useful in analysing the development of modern angling. The paper argues that Elias's thesis is too broadly applied and requires a more detailed analysis of the social milieu and culture of the players involved in changing and…
On why we dig the beach: Tracing the subjects and objects of the bucket and spade for a relational materialist theory of the beach
This article investigates the origins of the bucket and spade as a foundational element in the relational materialism of the beach as a space of vacationing. Using the intensification of Romantic beach painting through the early nineteenth century alongside prose descriptions and the development of photography at the beach, the article locates more precisely than ever before how the bucket and spade derived from the cohabitation of the beach by p…

Working-Class Privatism: An Historical Case Study of Bedminster, Bristol
Against those who have recently argued that the working class in England and Wales have increasingly retreated into the private sphere of the home, historical data are presented from Bedminster, Bristol where the opposite appears to have occurred. In Bedminster at least, the early part of the 20th century was characterised by restricted sociability, small networks, and a highly privatised, family-centred, home-based life-style. It is shown how th…
On loneliness
Contemporary Western societies are characterized by 'until further notice' relationships (and precarious or very loose social bonds), historically high levels of mobility of both capital and labour and growing numbers of single person households. As artefacts of freedom and choice these social arrangements do not inevitably give cause for concern but they may come at a price and that might involve more frequent and more sustained experiences of l…
Naturalizing Sports: Hunting and Angling in Modern Environments
This article investigates the paradoxical coexistence in late modernity of both heightened sentiments towards animals and the natural world, and the growing attraction of hunting and angling sports. The significance of this question can be gauged by the increase in parliamentary and electoral debates over the desirability of hunting and angling, by violent social conflict between hunters and anglers and their opponents and by debates over how bes…

A lonely society? Loneliness and liquid modernity in Australia
This paper reviews recent studies of loneliness in order to assess whether it is becoming endemic in Australian society. It develops the idea that loneliness is an embedded social structural feature of contemporary Australian life likely to affect people through the life course, creating psychological stress, ill health and social dysfunction. Zygmunt Bauman's writing on liquid modernity is used to trace a sequence of less binding social bonds fr…

Ethnography and housing studies
In recent years we have seen repeated calls for more in‐depth ethnographically styled research in housing studies. This emanates firstly from a general disquiet with structural theory which has dominated housing studies in the 1970s and early 1980s, and secondly from the recognition that the social survey has its limitations, particularly with regard to many contemporary debates and questions. Despite this new interest, there have been few studie…

Questions on "animal rights" in a cross-national survey conducted in 1993 provide an opportunity to compare the applicability to this issue of two theories of the socio-political changes summed up in "postmodernity": Inglehart's (1997) thesis of "postmaterialist values" and Franklin's (1999) synthesis of theories of late modernity. Although Inglehart seems not to have addressed human-nonhuman animal relations, it is reasonable to apply his theory…
