Where Bad Teeth Come From
This study tests hypotheses about the origins of teeth and good In the process, we show how cultures exert causal force and produce what, following the lead of the dental professionals and dental patients who served as our research participants, we call bad teeth. We conducted a mixed method ethnography that integrated narratives from one set of diverse research participants (n=39) with structured interviews from a different set of diverse partic…
Why Violence? A Test of Hypotheses Representing Three Discourses on the Roots of Domestic Violence

Data on violence and affection between heterosexual domestic partners support the first and third hypotheses but not the second. The…

This paper shows that Antiguan women's birth trajectories are functions of their view of the moral economy of childbearing, which in turn is a function of the conjunction of improved employment opportunities and increased educational attainment.

The most frequently cited policy solution to such problems is…
