The good, the bad, and the complex
Singlehood is often described as a binary: some single people struggle, while other singles thrive. Yet, single people likely experience challenging and beneficial aspects of singlehood simultaneously. We used qualitative approaches to provide insight about how single people navigate aspects of singlehood that are challenging and aspects that offer opportunities to thrive. Eleven single adults took part in 30-45-minute semi-structured interviews.…
Mental Health Needs, Substance Use, and Reincarceration
This article examines the role of mental health, substance use, and comorbidity in relation to time to reincarceration. Our study included all people released from provincial correctional facilities in British Columbia, Canada, from 2012 through 2014 ( N = 13,109). Using data from a mental health screening tool, we examined the relationship between four diagnostic groups (mental health needs alone, substance use disorders alone, co-occurring diso…
You’re Never Really Safe
Studies exploring perception-based sexual violence risk across the United Kingdom are limited, but research that examines how mothers consider their daughter's risk is even more uncommon. This interview-based study compared the experiences of 10 mothers with 10 young women based in the United Kingdom to understand their perceived sexual violence risk, and how they manage such risks. Findings indicate conflicting ideas of risk perception, yet simi…
Indigenous” Nature Connection? A Response to Kurth, Narvaez, Kohn, and Bae (2020)
An Interview with Dr. Andie Tucher, Columbia Journalism School
Columbia School of Journalism professor Andie Tucher talks about her forthcoming book on the history of fake news in the United States. She explains how, despite the fact that fake news has a long history in America, earlier incarnations were far less harmful than our current "post-truth" era. She also defines and examines what she calls "fake journalism," which uses the conventions of objective journalism but in deceptive ways to mislead people …
Making Identity on the Swahili Coast
Situated at a crossroads of trade in the late nineteenth century, and later the economic capital of German East Africa, the thriving caravan and port town of Bagamoyo, Tanzania is one of many diverse communities on the East African coast which has been characterized as 'Swahili'. Seeking an alternate framework for understanding community and identity, Steven Fabian combines extensive archival sources from African and European archives alongside f…
Locating the local in the Coastal Rebellion of 1888-1890
This article reopens debate and discussion about the so-called Abushiri Uprising of 1888. Previous scholars have examined the origins of the rebellion, or the motivations of its participants. This article focuses upon the way in which the rebellion unfolded along the central East African coastline. As a means of interpretation, it looks at the influence of local factors such as the significance of place, and the attachments of particular groups t…
East Africa's Gorée
A tourist visiting Bagamoyo, Tanzania, today would be hard pressed not to come away with the impression that this idyllic, seaside port was once the centre of the East African slave trade. Local museums, interpretive signposts, and amateur tour guides throughout the town claim that tens of thousands of enslaved Africans were brought to Bagamoyo each year before being shipped off across the Indian Ocean. In 2006, the Tanzanian government applied t…
Journey out of darkness? Images of Africa in American travelogues at the turn of the millennium
Research analysing images of Africa in western travel literature from the nineteenth century is vast, but little commentary has been offered for the twentieth. While popular media such as cinema, television and the news have replaced travelogues as the predominant source of images about Africa in the west, over the past thirty years travelogues, now mostly written by American journalists, have become ‘authoritative’ sources offering western audie…
