On Your Mind, Not in Your Face
In this mostly conceptual article, we address calls to promote heterodox thinking within business schools to develop alternative approaches to management, alternative economies and organizations that can better address societal-level ‘grand challenges’ from social justice to ecological sustainability. We illustrate our thinking by discussing the ideas behind a project: Re-Organise. Drawing on the work of Sara Ahmed, we consider the performative d…
The end of alternative organising (just as we were getting to know it)? A conjunctural analysis of the prefiguration terrain
The last fifteen years have seen a rise in interest in alternative organising within CMS. Although this work covers a diverse world of organisational forms, this academic interest is commonly connected to the prefigurative turn in social movements. Yet the momentum of such movements has recently stalled, and academics and activists are increasingly rejecting prefiguration. This shift in the radical imaginary is hugely important, but CMS scholars …

Whose Geography, Whose History? Reimagining How We Teach the History of Geography
In this roundtable, we share our reflections on how to teach more critical histories of geography in Anglo-American institutions. Ashutosh offers a contrapuntal reading of the history of geography, looking for ways to represent both the forces of consolidation and resistance in telling the history of our discipline. Last considers how we might “re-expand” the history of the discipline through the teaching of countergeographies. Sundberg argues th…
Cultural Similarities in Rapport Judgments of Silent Interactions
Cross-cultural studies on rapport judgments have demonstrated considerable cultural similarities in those judgments. Previous research, however, asked observers in different countries to rate interviews conducted in their native and non-native languages; thus, language comprehension may have confounded the findings because observers could understand the verbal exchanges in interviews conducted in their native language but perhaps not others. To r…

Feasibility and Usability of a Post-Hospital Behavioral Intervention to Improve Mobility in Veterans
The strongest risk factor for readmission to the hospital is impaired physical function. We sought to determine the usability and feasibility of a post-hospital behavioral intervention to improve mobility in older adults with significant morbidity and functional impairment. We conducted a two-arm pragmatic pilot randomized trial of a behavioral economics-informed intervention to increase daily steps in Veterans, age 60 or older, receiving home he…

Cultural Similarities and Differences in Judgments of Rapport
Rapport is a fundamental building block of human relationships across cultures; yet, there is still a dearth of systematic, cross-cultural research on this important topic. This study contributes to a small but growing literature on the nature of rapport across cultures by examining judgments of rapport by observers from different culture/language groups of interactions involving investigative interviews conducted in different languages. Observer…
Incorporating Consciousness into an Understanding of Emotion and Nonverbal Behavior
We posit a model of emotion and nonverbal behavior (NVB) that incorporates a perspective of consciousness. We leverage an understanding of the neural pathways innervating NVB to describe the complexity of its neural architecture and the links between those pathways and mental states. We suggest that all NVB are activated by both cortical and subcortical structures, allowing for unconscious, coordinated movements across multiple channels as well a…
Effects of multiple discrete emotions on risk-taking propensity
State government saving over the business cycle
Incidentally elicited multiple, discrete emotions have differential effects on risky behavior
We present a novel theoretical framework called the Action Priming Perspective to predict effects of discrete emotions on judgment and decision‐making and report results from two studies examining five discrete emotions (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness) and neutral on a behavioral task of risky decision‐making. We tested two hypotheses concerning single and combinatorial effects of the emotions based on previous theoretical and empir…
A Half-Century Assessment of the Study of Culture and Emotion
Research on emotion and affective sciences is flourishing today like never before. The impetus for this surge is largely rooted in studies of emotion across cultures and coincides with the half century existence of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology (IACCP). Beginning with studies initially documenting the universality of the expression and recognition of certain facial expressions of emotion in the 1970s, cross-cultural …

Social Judgments of Rapport in Investigative Interviews Across Cultures
Rapport is a fundamental psychological construct and understanding it conceptually, including how it is perceived in social interactions, may have a crucial impact on human relations. Culture may be a key that can disentangle and elucidate dynamic characteristics about the nature of rapport as culture provides different and unique meaning systems. We examined cultural similarities and differences in social perceptions of rapport in a context in w…

The Matthew effect in political science
Are some countries better equipped from the onset of a democratization process to become democracies? We compared successful and failed episodes of liberalization over the period 1900 to 2018 to examine if starting state influences the probability of successful democratization. We show that liberalization in autocracies was more likely to succeed in countries that had the advantage of a better starting point concerning political institutions, GDP…

Moralising Space
Amidst the soot, stink and splendour of Victorian London, a coterie of citizen-sociologists set out to break up the British Empire. They were the followers of the French philosopher Auguste Comte, a controversial figure who introduced the modern science of sociology and the republican Religion of Humanity. Moralising Space examines how from the 1850s Comte’s British followers practised this science and religion with the aim to create a global net…
British Comtism and Modernist Design
Scholars of political thought, sociology, and the arts have yet to fully explore the impact of positivism on modernist design theory and practice. This paper offers an intellectual history of the works of three generations of positivist sociologists who built on each other's works. They are Auguste Comte and Richard Congreve, Frederic Harrison and Charles Booth, and Patrick Geddes and Victor Branford. These actors developed different types of soc…
Labour, utopia and modern design theory
Historians of modern design and sociology have shown little interest in the leaders of the ever resourceful and influential British Positivist Society. One of the aims of this essay is to show that the Positivist polymath Frederic Harrison (1831–1923) cultivated ideas and practices that are compatible with modernists’ aspirations to improve the lives of the masses. It is accordingly shown that Harrison was an ardent supporter of working-class cau…

Using Sequences to Model Crises
The logic of historical explanation obliges one to understand temporality as a moderator of various effects on political outcomes. Temporal problems remain in the empirical analysis of political phenomena, however, especially as it pertains to categorical data and long-term time dependence. Many theories in political science assert that sequencing matters or that political outcomes are path dependent, but they remain untested (or improperly teste…
Data and Methods Comparing Social Structure and Vegetation Structure of Urban Neighborhoods in Baltimore, Maryland
Recent advances in remote sensing and the adoption of geographic information systems (GIS) have greatly increased the availability of high-resolution spatial and attribute data for examining the relationship between social and vegetation structure in urban areas. There are several motivations for understanding this relationship. First, the United States has experienced a significant increase in the extent of urbanized land. Second, urban forester…

Vertical Landscraping, a Big Regionalism for Dubai
Dubai's ecologic and economic complications are exacerbated by six years of accelerated expansion, a fixed top-down approach to urbanism and the construction of iconic single-phase mega-projects. With recent construction delays, project cancellations and growing landscape issues, Dubai's tower typologies have been unresponsive to changing environmental, socio-cultural and economic patterns (BBC, 2009; Gillet, 2009; Lewis, 2009). In this essay, a …
The African American Historian
a black person, history is a challenge because a black person is supposed not to have any history except colonial one. We hardly know what happened to our people before time when they met Europeans who decided to give them what they call civilization. For a black person . . . from diaspora . . . it is a . . . challenge to find out exactly what was there before. It is not history sake of history. It is searching one's self, searching one's identit…

Whiteness in the novels of Charles W. Chesnutt
Charles W. Chesnutt (1858-1932), critically acclaimed for his novels, short stories, and essays, was one of the most ambitious and influential African American writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today recognized as a major innovator of American fiction, Chesnutt is an important contributor to de-romanticizing trends in post-Civil War Southern literature, and a singular voice among turn-of-the-century realists who wrote …

Vernon Lushington's “The State”
Over the past few decades , intellectual historians and political theorists have begun to uncover the immense influence Auguste Comte's Positivist ideology exerted on Victorian culture, which attracted sympathisers such as John Stuart Mill, George Eliot, Beatrice Webb, and William Morris (Bevir 57; Varouxakis 100–18; Wright 135, 175–220). Until recently, scholars believed that, within Comte's prolific society of British followers, Vernon Lushingt…

On the Material and Immaterial Architecture of Organised Positivism in Britain
Positivism captured the Victorian imagination. Curiously, however, no work has focused on the architectural history and theory of Positivist halls in Britain. Scholars present these spaces of organised Positivism as being the same in thought and action throughout their existence, from the 1850s to the 1940s. Yet the British Positivists’ inherently different views of the work of their leader, the French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798–1857), cause…

Militarism and Dual-Conflict Capacity
This research note examines how domestic institutions can moderate the relationship between domestic and interstate conflict involvement. Previous work has found that military dictatorships are more likely to become involved in either domestic or international conflicts, compared to party-based autocracies. We argue that the same institutional explanations for why military autocracies are more conflict-prone also make them less capable of success…
