The Threads of Campus Life
Higher education scholars and practitioners recognize the essential role students’ relationships with others play in learning processes, yet research that examines how campuses shape social structures and their effects using relational methods appears limited and disconnected. We systematically review literature from 2010–2023 that has applied social network analysis (SNA) to the study of undergraduate students to identify the research questions,…
Listen up
This study explores how middle school youth engage in collaborative game design to question and reimagine the social structures that shape their everyday educational experiences. Conducted through a multi-day game jam, the project invited participants to create digital games that reflected their lived realities and challenged dominant narratives in schooling. Guided by the concept of pedagogical ruptures, understood as moments in which learners d…

Framing conflict in Kazakhstan
Experts who study conflicts in Kazakhstan believe that local and foreign news outlets played a significant role in the construction of the social reality of these conflicts. This study identified the frames used to report news of the January 2022 riots in Kazakhstan. The study examined news reports from Kazakh, Russia, and British news sources to identify how news was framed, and how evidence was used. Twelve frames were identified, with a few th…
Radical exposure
This article considers a hitherto neglected sexual scandal involving the Congregational minister William Bengo’ Collyer and two young men at a public swimming baths in Camberwell (then in Surrey) in the spring of 1823. It explores the relationships between Congregationalism, and Evangelical Dissent more generally, and the cultures of contemporary masculinity and political radicalism. In so doing, it reveals how radical political figures, notably …
Campus Ecological Networks
Collegiate environments that aim to support equitable learning are rarely conceptualized and studied in a manner that is explicitly relational and structural, leaving room for theorizing about how social constructions of meaning and power operate on campus. We apply social network theory and methods to campus ecological frameworks to develop a campus ecological network model. Rather than focusing on sets of individuals, a network-oriented stance …
We need a curricular cooperative
The curriculum marketplace Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) claims that 85% of educators in the United States use the site. Despite substantial evidence that TPT offers low quality materials, little research has explored the impact of TPT on curriculum-making. We analyze 76 TPT seller sites from assignments submitted by teacher candidates in an elementary social studies methods course to understand how teacher education candidates encounter and make s…

May I Contribute Some Data to the Discussion?”
We present a historical case study of “data-driven” general education policy reform at the City University of New York, where within-system transfer issues prompted the need for curricular reform that was debated and eventually implemented from 2011 to 2017. Through an empirical examination of artifacts such as meeting minutes, internal memoranda, institutional reports, speeches, testimonies and position statements, and recordings of public meeti…
How Constructions of Interpersonal Responsibility Shape Undergraduate Student Networks in Times of Social Distancing
Since Spring 2020, college students have experienced rapid and unpredictable shifts in their social and academic worlds. As institutions implemented social distancing policies, students had to navigate unstable norms related to peer interaction while negotiating what it meant to act responsibly to ensure their own safety and help their communities. Drawing on a network-based approach to pro-social behavior, we conducted a study of undergraduate s…

On My Head About It
Given the widespread use of social media among adolescents, online interactions that facilitate high school students' college knowledge acquisition could have a transformative impact on college access patterns, especially for underrepresented students. Our study uses interview data collected from Black high school students in Detroit ( N = 24) to examine their experiences and perceptions as they prepare for the transition to post-secondary educat…
Rural College Graduates
Many rural communities throughout the United States have experienced brain drain or the out-migration of educated young people. Explanations for why college-educated adults leave rural communities have relied on economic rationales; however, the effects of social identities, community context, and place attachment have also been shown to influence migration decisions. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (…
A sonic step closer
The preservation risks surrounding music master tapes—the high-quality sources of most commercial recordings between the 1950s and 1990s—were dramatically highlighted in recent coverage of Universal Music’s 2008 vault fire. Other challenges include storage costs, chemical instability of tape stocks and technological obsolescence of playback equipment, with the industry’s ability to tackle these still unclear. This article examines an emerging sol…

Seeing students at scale
Despite their increasingly widespread adoption in post-secondary education, scholars and practitioners know very little about the impact of digital data displays on instructors’ sense-making and academic planning. In this manuscript, I report the results of comparative case studies of five different introductory physics instructors at three institutions who used data dashboards as part of an active learning approach called ‘Peer Instruction’. Ins…
Research to Translation
BACKGROUND: The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model is an evidence-based comprehensive framework to address health in schools. WSCC model use improves health and educational outcomes, but implementation remains a challenge. METHODS: Working with 6 schools in 2 districts in the Midwest, we used a mixed-methods approach to determine the people, systems, and messages needed to activate WSCC implementation. We report on social net…
Travel guides, urban spatial imaginaries and LGBTQ+ activism
In this paper we focus on LGBTQ+ travel guides and the creation of a North American LGBTQ+ urban imaginary as forms and facilitators of activism. Specifically, we consider one of the few continuously published sources detailing such an imaginary in the mid-20th century and its construction of an 'epistemological grid' onto which entries were placed. We briefly situate the guides in the context of an emerging (and frequently politicised) mid-20th-…
Whose Data? Which Rights? Whose Power? A Policy Discourse Analysis of Student Privacy Policy Documents
The proliferation of information technology tools in higher education has resulted in an explosion of data about students and their contexts. Yet, current policies governing these data are limited in their usefulness for informing students, instructors, and administrators of their rights and responsibilities related to data use because they are based on antiquated conceptions of data and data systems. To understand how data privacy policies conce…

Rob Boddice. The Science of Sympathy
The history of emotion has been around for a long time, but it is only in relatively recent years that it has been possible to speak of an emotional “turn.” In this book we can begin to see the fruits of such an approach for the histories of science and medicine. The central argument of Boddice’s concise and highly engaging study of late Victorian Britain is a simple yet powerful one; from the 1860s onwards and, more particularly, following the p…
Urban Politics as the Unfolding of Social Relations in Place
Recent debates in urban politics stress the need to broaden conceptions of what counts as urban politics, as well as of where they take place. This means shifting attention to include more quotidian and prosaic social relations, including those taking place in spaces of civil society. We answer this call with a case study of the relations between an emerging gay male community in mid-twentieth-century Seattle, USA and the local public health depa…

Landscape and Settlement in Late Bronze Age Cyprus
Pyla-Kokkinokremos is a fortified hilltop settlement in Cyprus founded towards the end of the Late Bronze Age. It has played a prominent role in discussions concerning the c. 1200 BC ‘collapse’ in the wider eastern Mediterranean. Results from survey and soundings (2007–09) provide significant new information about the site and its relationship to the surrounding landscape. This includes the discovery of a large intramural feature in the form of a…
Queer Diffusions
Critical perspectives on space and spatiality have been underdeveloped theoretically and underapplied empirically in the context of queer studies (including queer theory). In this paper we demonstrate how critical perspectives on one form of spatiality, diffusion, can enhance understandings of queer cultures, identities, and politics. We begin by reviewing traditional approaches to diffusion within geography and explicating a specifically queer a…
Ironies of Distance
Sociospatial distances fostered by recent geographies of AIDS are critiqued in this paper through cultural criticism and my own ethnographic work on AIDS politics in Vancouver, Canada. Specifically I note the tendency of medical geography and spatial science to distance themselves from gay men and their spaces, I argue this distancing is perpetrated by: (1) a focus on the virus, with gay men's bodies serving as vectors of transmission; and (2) an…
Gender and sexuality II
I consider the iconic place of the urban gay neighborhood across the literature. Noting, but also qualifying, its early preponderance, I trace its relative decline as both an empirical concern and also a theoretical one. I argue that this trend reflects a queer pluralization of ‘sexuality’ as well as a growing sophistication of how geographers handle place and scale. There has been a resurgence of interest in the ‘gayborhood’, however, within and…
Hospice and the Spatial Paradoxes of Terminal Care
The purpose of my paper is to offer an understanding of home hospice from a perspective of political geography. Informed by critical political theories of care, and recent work on the geographies of public and private spheres, I explore one set of consequences of the spatial shift towards home death in metropolitan Seattle, Washington. Terminal hospice care done in the home creates an especially paradoxical home space. By blurring public-private …

Where Has Welfare Gone? Introductory Remarks on the Geographies of Care and Welfare
Urban Geography Plenary Lecture—Public Health as Urban Politics, Urban Geography
In this plenary, I call for urban geographers to frame public health as a form of urban politics, theorized as governmentality and biopower. I interpret the politics of venereal disease (VD) in Seattle during the mid-20th century this way, detecting a series of dualities in key dimensions of the governance of VD, thus extending geographers' work on these concepts. There was an epistemic duality between biomedical and social framings of disease, a…

Reconceptualizing public and private in urban regime theory
Regime theory is a means by which scholars study governance in the city. Governance is defined as a productive exercise of power ('the power to') resulting from the normative and actual arrangements (the 'regime') between public and private spheres in a liberal democratic community. To date, the public-private couplet has been conceptualized as the state and market institutions respectively. In this paper I show that this definition is but one pa…

Bestiality and the Queering of the Human Animal
We provide an account of a bizarre sex panic from rural Washington State, USA. There, a man died after having sex with a horse and a panic ensued because there was no law against human - animal sex. Quickly a law was placed on the books outlawing bestiality, but only after a series of interlocking-yet-disparate arguments enjoined the local public sphere over just why a law prohibiting sex with animals was necessary. We deconstruct those shifting …
Dying Epistemologies
Within the debate between medical and health geographers there are often calls for methodological and philosophical conciliation. The purpose of this paper is to detail some of the epistemological difficulties in ever achieving that aim. We do so by offering a foundational scientific analysis of home death in Washington State, and then turning to a postmedical deconstruction of that scholarship within the space of a single paper. Although the res…
Sedgwick’s geographies
Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (1950—2009) was one of the founders of queer theory and a significant contributor to the fields of literary theory and philosophy. The four papers in this forum consider the impact and influence her work has had on diverse fields of research in human geography. Specifically, the papers examine how her work on the epistemology of the closet has been materialized and contested by geographers of sexualities; how her queer theor…

Moral regulation
This paper introduces a special issue on the historical geography of moral regulation and scale. The paper examines the rich and varied work of geographers on moral geographies before looking at wider work on moral regulation influenced by Michel Foucault. Highlighting the significance of the neglected dimension of scale, the paper introduces the themes examined in the subsequent papers

Quintessentially Modern Heroes
There is a rich longstanding literature examining the rise of surgery as the medical treatment of choice in the late nineteenth century. This has been added to in recent years by examination of the ways in which bodily knowledge was used as the basis of governance in industrial societies. There is likewise now a significant modern literature on exploration and colonialism. Here we link these two domains; using the examples of Africa and North Ame…
Observations on Workers' Perceptions of Risk in the Dangerous Trades
In the 1910s, Alice Hamilton, one of the first American specialists in the field of occupational disease, began her work on the risks of the trades.' Today, occupational risks are the focus of increased evaluation, much of it centering on the effects of exposure to chemicals that are indispensable to the industrial economy. Industry in the United States uses an estimated 63,000 commercial chemicals in all aspects of manufacturing, processing, and…

The American Connection of Canadian Jews
Its French and English antecedents notwithstanding, Canada is an American country. From 1759 to 1776 Canada was merely the fourteenth American colony of Great Britain. Had the fortunes of war been different, Canada might well have become part of the United States, or part or all of the United States might have remained British, joined with the northernmost colony. The Treaty of Paris made formal in 1783 the division between Canada and the other t…
Psychological Level Communication in Transactional Analysis
Discusses and illustrates role of psychological level communication in transactional analysis, emphasizing that this “level of communication is present in every transaction and the outcomes of transactions are determined at” this level. Develops an approach which integrates the theory of transactional analysis with the principles of M.H. Erickson's techniques of hypnotic communication and with the mechanistic procedures of neurolinguistic program…

Vile Times’
The Scotichronicon is the greatest product of medieval Scottish historical writing. Composed by Walter Bower, the abbot of the religious house on the isle of Inchcolm in the Forth, Scotichronicon tells the story of the Scot tish people in sixteen books, beginning with the mythical origins of the Scots and ending in Bower's own lifetime. During the last decade Bower's achievement has been made more apparent and accessible by the publi cation of a …
