Collaborative co‐design in action: Reimagining teacher professional development for crisis‐affected contexts
This paper focuses on the opportunities and challenges of conducting implementation research when co‐design is central to the project being implemented. A participatory co‐design methodology is proposed to evaluate the co‐design and implementation aspects of a teacher professional development course. The project aim was to co‐create evidence about the effectiveness of Co‐designed, Massive, Open, Online Collaborations (CoMOOCs)—an educational inno…
Sociotechnical Imaginaries of Sharing and Emerging Postdigital Meaning-Making Practices in the Astronomy Community
For decades, science communities have had digital technology embedded in their everyday work. However, new research infrastructures are amplifying the presence and use of digital technologies for scientists. In that respect, radio astronomy is undergoing a major transformation causing the community to enter a phase of postdigital work, due to the construction of the most sensitive telescope, the Square Kilometer Array Observatory (SKAO), which sc…
Meat politics at the dinner table: Understanding differences and similarities in Canadians’ meat-related attitudes, preferences and practices
Few food groups are subject to the same depth and scope of critique as meat. Yet little is known about how the Canadian public feels about meat production and consumption. In other jurisdictions, meat has been a politically polarizing topic; thus, we focus our analysis on political differences (and similarities) in orientations toward meat. In this paper, we draw on survey data collected on a quota sample of Canadians (n=2328) in order to address…
Anthro x Journo: The Value of Ethnography for Solving Journalism's Challenges
Today's working journalists are experiencing friction in stereo: both readers and sources don't trust them to get the story right. This friction between media and the communities they cover has always existed, but today's turbo-charged antagonism has brought this to a personal level for modern journalists just trying to do their jobs. For our democratic society to thrive, we need journalism in top form. In this presentation, trained anthropologis…
Gender and the lived body experience of academic work during Covid-19
The rapid transition to online teaching in response to Covid-19 presented unprecedented challenges for academic communities. Staff had vastly different experiences of engaging with technology, and these experiences are shaped by factors including gender, (dis)ability, socio-economic resources and caring responsibilities. We report findings from an intersectional interview examination of how 412 staff in a large London-based university adapted to …
Quantifying the Relationship between Large Public Events and Escort Advertising Behavior
We study online escort advertisement responses to large scale public events using a time series anomaly detection framework. We analyze advertisement volume, approximations of advertiser volumes, and further devise a measure for movement derived from the spatio-temporal behavior amongst related advertisements. Our results imply that a variety of events correlate with unusual increases in sex worker activity, including an influx of providers that …
Association between Rice Consumption and Selected Indicators of Dietary and Nutritional Status using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2008
The present study was aimed at evaluating whether white rice, brown rice, and rice flour consumption has any association with selected measures of dietary intake and nutritional status, including various variables of energy intake, major vitamin and mineral intakes, weigh status, blood pressure, cholesterol level, and serum folate level for adults 20 years and older. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-200…
Leveraging Publicly Available Data to Discern Patterns of Human-Trafficking Activity
We present a few data analysis methods that can be used to process advertisements for escort services available in public areas of the Internet. These data provide a readily available proxy evidence for modeling and discerning human-trafficking activity. We show how it can be used to identify advertisements that likely involve such activity. We demonstrate its utility in identifying and tracking entities in the Web-advertisement data even if stro…
Myths of nation in the Champions League
The UEFA Champions League (UCL) tournament has become a showcase for the most elite and well-resourced clubs in Europe. In this paper, we explore whether the European flavour of this competition and the multi-national composition of the teams involved influence the sport media’s well-documented nationalistic discursive traditions. The analytical frame draws on Barthes’ work on mythologies and Wenner’s conceptualization of communicative dirt to an…
Teens’ social media use and collective action
This research examined how social self-efficacy, collective self-esteem, and need to belong can be used to predict teens’ use of social media. The particular focus was on how these social psychological variables together with social media use account for variation in teens’ participation in a flash mob – an exemplar of 21st-century collective action. Empirical data come from a survey of teens in a major Midwestern city in the USA. Teens’ need to …
‘It was my thought … he made it a reality’: Normalization and responsibility in athletes’ accounts of performance-enhancing drug use
Despite the widespread interest in athletes’ use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in track and field, the voices of the athletes who use banned substances have seldom been heard. Interviews with competitive athletes were conducted to explore their relationship to doping. Two themes emerged from the interviews. Firstly, the athletes presented doping as a normalized part of competitive sport, inevitably involving the participation of coaching …
Nutrition and culture in professional football. A mixed method approach
An adequate diet is essential for the optimal performance of professional football (soccer) players. Existing studies have shown that players fail to consume such a diet, without interrogating the reasons for this. The aim of this study was to explore the difficulties professional football players experience in consuming a diet for optimal performance. It utilized a mixed method approach, combining nutritional intake assessment with qualitative i…

Teacher-researchers promoting cultural learning in an intercultural kindergarten in Aotearoa New Zealand
This article discusses six teaching strategies identified by teacher-researchers as supporting their goal to improve learning and teaching for all children in the intercultural setting of a kindergarten in Aotearoa New Zealand. As a Centre of Innovation, the kindergarten received government funding for a 3-year action research project focused on the participation of Samoan children, who also attended a nearby Samoan language immersion early child…
Sonic Sport: Sound Art in Leisure Research
Starting from the premise that sound is an important aspect of leisure experience neglected within existing research, this article presents a discussion of a creative project to explore ways of encouraging sensitivity to sound in televised sport. We discuss a short film, Super cfc, in which sound and image samples of televised soccer were electronically manipulated and recombined resulting in the de-familiarization of conventionalized audio-visua…
Leap for London’? Investigating the affective power of the sport spectacle
This paper investigates the London 2012 Olympic Bid Campaign, which succeeded in winning the contest to host the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games for London, UK in 2012. Starting from the premise that the highly stylised ‘Leap for London’ campaign itself formed a sport spectacle, we use discourse analysis and autoethnographic research to explore the meanings attached to the bid campaign. Drawing on discourses of race, gender and class, the bid …
Space Invaders at Wimbledon: Televised Sport and Deterritorialization
This analysis of the televising of the 2005 Wimbledon Tennis Championships in the United Kingdom and United States explores how the space of Wimbledon is communicated to different national cultures. The theoretical framing draws on the concepts of deterritorialization developed in Tomlinson’s (1999) work and space invaders as understood by Puwar (2004). A discourse analysis of newspaper reports and television broadcasts demonstrates ways in which…
The WIC program: A classic example of where individuals do make a difference
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is viewed as one of the most successful public health nutrition programs in the United States. Senator George McGovern, at the May 2000, National Nutrition Summit, referred to WIC as the perfect program. Despite the broad, bipartisan support the program has enjoyed, WIC has had an often stormy history. This paper chronicles the events that were instrumental in shapin…
She Wants to be a Sledgehammer: Tennis Femininities on British Television
This article presents a semiotic analysis of the representation of the Wimbeldon Championships on British television. It considers televised sport as a gendered genre, arguing that a gendered narrative exists within the televising of Wimbeldon. There is contradiction within this narrative: female tennis players escape an easy identification with a singular character function. The article draws on feminist film theory to explore the ambivalence of…
You Talk a Good Game: Football and Masculine Style on British Television
This article represents one aspect of an inquiry into the gendered character of the address of British televised sports. To answer the research question, 'Why are televised sports disproportionately popular with a male, and not female, television audience?' football is chosen for analysis as one sport whose appeal has traditionally been limited to men. Using semiotics to enable the elicitation of a gendered address to a television audience, a mat…
Bad Boys and Gentlemen: Gendered Narrative in Televised Sport
This article considers television sport as a gendered genre. Drawing on film theory and feminist media studies, it illuminates the essential masculinization of the hero function within the narrative of televised sport, and suggests that the presence of a number of characteristics (clarity, banter and obscenity) may account for television sport's address to an overwhelmingly male audience. However, not every sport attracts the same audience, and w…

Are pre‐schoolers from female‐headed households less malnourished? A comparative analysis of results from Ghana and Kenya
This article compares household income level and pre‐schooler weight‐for‐age across household groupings that are differentiated by female headship variables which are reflective of the heterogeneity of female‐headed households. Data from Kenya indicate that it is the interaction of income and female headship at low‐income levels which promotes pre‐schooler nutritional status. For Ghana, incomes have to be quite large (in the upper tercile of the …

The Impact of Drought on Production, Consumption and Nutrition in Southwestern Kenya
In this paper I compare the effects of the 1984 drought on agricultural production, income, food consumption, and nutrition of farm and non-farm households in South Nyanza District, Kenya. Survey work covered the period 1984 to 1987. It was the late arrival of the long rains in spring 1984, rather than an absolute shortfall in rain, that caused most of the fluctuations in agricultural production. Agricultural households who were least affected by…
