Can the social network bridge social distancing? Social media use during the Covid-19 pandemic
Desperate or desirable? Perceptions of individuals seeking dates online and offline
Past research suggests that people who use the Internet to pursue romantic relationships have been stereotyped negatively—as unattractive, desperate, or creepy. It is possible, however, that as finding dates online has grown in popularity, individuals who have themselves used online methods to meet a partner are less likely to apply these negative stereotypes than non‐users. In addition, as options for dating online have proliferated, it is not c…
Maximizing Women's Motivation in Domains Dominated by Men
Two studies ( n = 1,522) examined the impact of role models in sport and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) domains where gender discrimination has resulted in a lack of high-profile women. We examined the role of gender matching of personally known and famous exemplars on women's and men's motivation. Participants nominated a woman or man in sport (Study 1) or STEM (Study 2) who was either famous or known to them personally…
Love under lockdown
With the onset of COVID-19, governments around much of the world implemented strict social distancing and stay-at-home orders that profoundly affected the amount of time many couples were spending together. In the present research, we examined whether perceptions of a change in time spent with a partner were associated with stress, and whether stress levels in turn predicted relationship commitment and satisfaction, both in the short term (Time 1…
Mom always liked you best!”
In two studies (N = 488), we examined whether negative effects of sibling comparisons are exaggerated among individuals whose self-worth is contingent on parental approval. In Study 1, participants who made spontaneous references to parents (35%) when describing a time they were outperformed by a sibling (i.e., made an upward comparion) also recalled more negative effects of these comparisons on their self-evaluations. In Study 2, participants wi…
She Needs to See it to be it
When every day is a high school reunion
Although past research has shown that social comparisons made through social media contribute to negative outcomes, little is known about the nature of these comparisons (domains, direction, and extremity), variables that determine comparison outcomes (post valence, perceiver's self-esteem), and how these comparisons differ from those made in other contexts (e.g., text messages, face-to-face interactions). In 4 studies (N = 798), we provide the f…
Cosmotopia Delineated
This article seeks to establish the value of the concept of cosmotopia to historians of intercultural connections through presenting a case study of the Calcutta Unitarian Committee, which was active between 1821 and 1828. In tandem, it aims to enhance understanding of the origins of one particularly sustained set of intercultural connections: the interfaith network which developed between an influential group of Hindu religious and social reform…

Anti-slavery and the roots of ‘imperial feminism’
This chapter sketches the relationship between female anti-slavery campaigning, colonial reform and the emergence of organised feminist campaigning. It compares the perspectives of female anti-slavery campaigners of the 1820s and 1830s with the 'imperial feminists' of the 1865-1915 period discussed by Antoinette Burton. The chapter argues that female anti-slavery was a form of Western protofeminism, which provides one of the main roots out of whi…
General editor’s introduction
Cosmopolitan Lives on the Cusp of Empire
This book looks back to the period 1860 to 1950 in order to grasp how alternative visions of amity and co-existence were forged between people of faith, both within and resistant to imperial contact zones. It argues that networks of faith and friendship played a vital role in forging new vocabularies of cosmopolitanism that presaged the post-imperial world of the 1950s. In focussing on the diverse cosmopolitanisms articulated within liberal trans…
Women in Transnational History
Women in Transnational History offers a range of fresh perspectives on the field of women's history, exploring how cross-border connections and global developments since the nineteenth century have shaped diverse women's lives and the gendered social, cultural, political and economic histories of specific localities

Mary Carpenter and the Brahmo Samaj of India
This article, offering a transnational perspective on Mary Carpenter's promotion of female education in colonial India, seeks to foster the writing of new histories of social reform in the nineteenth-century world and fresh analyses of global women's history in the age of empire. It roots Carpenter's engagement with India in her involvement in a transoceanic web of British, Indian and American religious liberals and social reformers and explores …

Transoceanic Commemoration and Connections Between Bengali Brahmos and British and American Unitarians
This article traces the history of the commemoration in Britain, India, and America of leading Bengali religious and social reformer, Rammohun Roy, from his death in Britain in 1833 through to the publication of the first substantial account of his life and work in 1900. It reveals the vital part that commemorative processes played in creating a sense of imagined community among liberal religious groups who were in the vanguard of social reform m…

British Abolition and Feminism in Transatlantic Perspective
This chapter examines abolition and feminism in Britain in comparison with the abolitionist/feminist movement in the United States and links the British abolitionist movement's formulations of race and gender to influences of the British empire. It shows that the reluctance of British abolitionists to embrace American feminism could be attributed to important differences in the two nations' political cultures. It also highlights the importance of…
Feminism and Empire
Feminism and Empire establishes the foundational impact that Britain's position as leading imperial power had on the origins of modern western feminism. Based on extensive new research, this study exposes the intimate links between debates on the 'woman question' and the constitution of 'colonial discourse' in order to highlight the centrality of empire to white middle-class women's activism in Britain.

Gender and Slave Emancipation in the Atlantic World
Edited collections can sometimes disappoint as little more than a rather disparate set of specialist articles. One of the great strengths of this book is that it is much more than a sum of its parts. The excellent essays on specific regions are framed by an extended introduction and a useful bibliographic essay covering the field as a whole. The introduction effectively delineates the ways in which emancipation was a highly gendered process and s…
At Home with the Empire
This pioneering 2006 volume addresses the question of how Britain's empire was lived through everyday practices - in church and chapel, by readers at home, as embodied in sexualities or forms of citizenship, as narrated in histories - from the eighteenth century to the present. Leading historians explore the imperial experience and legacy for those located, physically or imaginatively, 'at home,' from the impact of empire on constructions of woma…

From Supporting Missions to Petitioning Parliament
Between 13 February 1829 and 29 March 1830 a total of fourteen separate groups of women from around England sent petitions to Parliament calling on it to abolish sati, or rather what they described as 'the practice in India of burning widows on the funeral piles of their husbands'.1 Amongst the earliest examples of female petitioning, and directly preceding women's more extensive petitioning for the abolition of colonial slavery, this interventio…
