Experience and perception of climatic hazards as drivers for adaptation strategies in coastal communities of Bangladesh
The adoption and implementation of adaptation measures has emerged as a major approach to reducing the impact of climate change and the associated risks to livelihoods. Individual perception is likely to influence considerably the willingness to adopt such measures in response to current and anticipated extreme climate conditions. This study analyzes factors intensifying climatic hazards-induced stress on livelihoods and the underlying motivation…
The darker angels of our nature: Early Bronze Age butchered human remains from Charterhouse Warren, Somerset, UK
Direct physical evidence for violent interpersonal conflict is seen only sporadically in the archaeological record for prehistoric Britain. Human remains from Charterhouse Warren, south-west England, therefore present a unique opportunity for the study of mass violence in the Early Bronze Age. At least 37 men, women and children were killed and butchered, their disarticulated remains thrown into a 15m-deep natural shaft in what is, most plausibly…
Scholarship and academic capitals: The boundaried nature of education-focused career tracks
Education-focused roles represent a large and rapidly increasing share of the academic workforce in UK higher education. This expansion has resulted in the emergence of dedicated career tracks running in parallel with established teaching and research routes. Role descriptors and promotion criteria for these roles typically require evidence of scholarship. Despite their establishment, academics on these tracks face considerable challenges in purs…
The instrumental academic: Collegiality and the value of academic citizenship in contemporary higher education
Collegiality and the contribution to the sustenance of the academy through academic citizenship are central to commonly held conceptions of what it is to be a university. This study investigates the articulation and recognition of academic citizenship through institutional promotion criteria, including both traditional research and teaching‐focussed career pathways. The study adopts a qualitative research approach and examines promotion criteria …
Orienting Australia: Response by David Walker
Defoe and Christianity
Daniel Defoe was raised as a Presbyterian, a Dissenter from the established Church of England, at a time when Nonconformists were persecuted for their faith. This chapter explores the intersections of religion and politics in Defoe’s lifetime and as they affected his career and writings. The evidence of Defoe’s early, unpublished poetic ‘Meditations’ (c.1683) is that he took the decision as a young man not to become a clergyman but instead to pur…
Fragile Sorge: Zumutungen und Konflikte während der Covid-19-Pandemie
Durch die Covid-19-Pandemie stand die medizinische und pflegerische Sorge im Krankenhaus zeitweise im Mittelpunkt der öffentlichen Aufmerksamkeit. Aufgrund der zeitweise sehr hohen Hospitalisierungszahlen von Corona-Infizierten mussten Stationen verlegt oder geschlossen werden und es wurden planbare Eingriffe verschoben. Zudem führten die bereits vor der Pandemie virulenten Personalengpässe zu erhöhten Belastungen des medizinischen Personals. Zus…
Economic analysis of exposure to the elevated level of PM 10 in Vietnam: A COI and WTP approach
To understand the harm caused by air pollution and attract attention from government agencies, this study estimates the exposure to the elevated level of PM10 and its effect on health. This study employed two distinct approaches: cost-of-illness (COI) and willingness-to-pay (WTP). The results revealed that people are willing to pay for risk reduction initiatives, and the difference between COI and WTP is negligible. The entire sum estimated from …
American Performances, Economies, and Genealogies of Constraint
In this collaboratively written exercise, the authors discuss the material significance of embodied sense perceptions and affects. Despite Protestant secularity’s claims to the contrary, sensation and affect are no more confined to interiorized subjective mental states than is religion merely belief
The Mormon Heel
Don Leo Jonathan was born 1931 to a Mormon family in Utah. During his professional wrestling career, Don Leo capitalized on certain anti-Mormon prejudices during a period of Mormonism’s erstwhile mainstreaming and clean-cut imagination in American culture, often performing as the "heel," or villain
The Story of Australia: A New History of People and Place
The Story of Australia provides a fresh, engaging and comprehensive introduction to Australia’s history and geography. An island continent with distinct physical features, Australia is home to the most enduring Indigenous cultures on the planet. In the late eighteenth century newcomers from distant worlds brought great change. Since that time, Australia has been shaped by many peoples with competing visions of what the future might hold. This new…

Factors influencing the perceived importance of oral health within a rural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in Australia
This paper highlights the high importance this rural Indigenous community gives to oral health. Its findings suggest that under-utilisation of oral health services is influenced by both major barriers faced in accessing oral health services; and the number and severity of competing health and social concerns within the community. The study results confirm the importance of establishing affordable, culturally appropriate, community-based oral heal…
A learning health systems approach to improving the quality of care for patients in South Asia
Poor quality of care is a leading cause of excess morbidity and mortality in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). Improving the quality of healthcare is complex, and requires an interdisciplinary team equipped with the skills to design, implement and analyse setting-relevant improvement interventions. Such capacity is limited in many LMICs. However, training for healthcare workers in quality improvement (QI) methodology without buy-in from …
Sex differences in scent‐marking in captive red‐ruffed lemurs
Primate chemical communication remains underappreciated, as primates are considered to rely on other sensory modalities. However, various lines of evidence suggest that olfaction plays an important role in primate societies, including the conspicuous scent-marking behavior of many strepsirrhines and callitrichines. Although lemurs typically show scent-marking, little is known about this behavior in red-ruffed lemurs (Varecia variegata rubra). We …
Yellow Perils: China Narratives in the Contemporary World
China's meteoric rise and ever expanding economic and cultural footprint have been accompanied by widespread global disquiet. Whether admiring or alarmist, media discourse and representations of China often tap into the myths and prejudices that emerged through specific historical encounters. These deeply embedded anxieties have shown great resilience, as in recent media treatments of SARS and the H5N1 virus, which echoed past beliefs connecting …
Higher Education Outreach: Examining Key Challenges for Academics
How should academic staff engage in outreach with communities outside of the university? The need of academics to answer this question has intensified in the UK given the changing priorities of academic job roles, shaped by increasing institutional concern for widening participation, graduate employability and research impact in an era of austerity and high tuition fees. While university outreach professionals, such as those in widening participa…
Brent M. Rogers. Unpopular Sovereignty: Mormons and the Federal Management of Early Utah Territory
The 1857 Utah Expedition is sometimes considered—if it is considered at all—a wasteful flexing of federal muscles in the Mormon West: a bloodless “war” with little lasting effect beyond deposing Brigham Young as territorial governor, enriching Utah merchants, and embarrassing President James Buchanan. In Unpopular Sovereignty, however, Brent M. Rogers claims that the expedition and its antebellum milieu of (anti-) Mormon concern were phenomena of…
Leveraging Communities' Capabilities to Increase Accountability for Health Rights: The Case of Citizen Voice and Action
Citizen Voice and Action (CV&A), a rights- and strengths-based social accountability approach developed in the global South, helps communities marginalized by unfair power relations to counter low accountability. By creating a dynamic of entitlement within communities and obligation by duty-bearers, it improves power relations and frees communities to build shared agency through reciprocity which advances health rights claims. After outlining cap…
An agonizing death”: 1980S U.S. policy on Iraqi chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq War
This study examines the rapprochement between the United States and Iraq in the period of 1981-1984 during the Iran-Iraq War. Severed since 1967, the reopening of full diplomatic relations between the two nations in November 1984 occurred under the cloud of Iraqi fielding of chemical weapons, stirring international and U.S. domestic criticism. The history of the years leading up to the reestablishment of relations has popularly implied or accused…
The politics of student engagement
Student engagement (SE) is currently a significant focus of attention in Higher Education (HE), but its underlying political character and the broader political-economic context have been overlooked. SE has not been considered from the perspective of the ‘Idea’ of the university. Bringing together the literature on SE, the marketisation of HE and the ‘Idea’ of the university, we argue that current policies and practices are based on a one-dimensi…

Unsettling the guardian: Quest religiosity and psychological type among Anglican churchgoers
Both psychological type and religious orientation have provided tools for understanding the make-up of church congregations and for examining the extent to which different styles of church services may appeal to distinct congregational profiles; however the relationship between the two instruments is relatively little studied to date. Some 390 individuals who attended a Christmas carol service in a Church of England cathedral completed both the F…
Staging a Cultural Collaboration: Louise Lightfoot and Ananda Shivaram's First Indian Dance Tour of Australia, 1947–1949
One of the most highly stylized of the Indian forms of dance-drama, Kathakali has also received the greatest amount of attention on the global stage. We argue that its international exposure began with the performances of Ananda Shivaram, as managed by the Australian impresario Louise Lightfoot, in a landmark intercultural collaboration. From 1947 to 1949, Shivaram, along with an ensemble of Australian dancers, successfully toured Australia, adap…
Promoting reflection in professional courses: The challenge of context

However, alongisde these positive initiatives have grown more disturbing developments under the general heading of reflection. They have involved both misconceptions of the nature of reflection which have led to instrumental or rule-following approac…

When Participation Meets Empowerment: The WWF and the Politics of Invitation in the Chimalapas, Mexico
Emerging out of radical theories about the uneven nature of power and underwriting practices that assist marginalized peoples in constructing their own development strategies, “participation” has recently come under fire for being co-opted and mainstreamed by governmental and nongovernmental agencies, part of a new development “tyranny” that betrays the concept's populist roots. The issues surrounding participation are nowhere more hotly debated …
Veiled Threats: Recurrent Cultural Anxieties in Australia
At the end of the nineteenth century white Australians found themselves in a turbulent and rapidly changing world. As British settlers in a vast, often-perplexing and under-populated continent, they were increasingly aware that they lived in a crowded and predominantly Asian neighbourhood. Their supposedly empty spaces seemed to invite the unwanted attention of hostile outsiders, fertile soil for speculation about vulnerable borders, invasion and…

Survivalist anxieties Australian responses to Asia, 1890s to the present
From the 1880s there has been speculation about Australia's Asian futures. The contexts in which Asia has been invoked and the constructions of both a ‘generic Asia’ and specific countries in the region have played a critical role in defining the limits and possibilities of Australian nationhood. While there has been a persistent anxiety about Australia's vulnerability to Asia (our empty north, our unguarded coastline) there have long been advoca…
Porfirian Labor Politics: Working Class Organizations in Mexico City and Porfirio Diaz, 1876-1902
Most studies of relations between government and organized labor in Mexico stand firmly on the supposition that the Revolution of 1910 marked a sharp break with the past. The labor policies of the Díaz regime have alternately been described as either brutally repressive or as neutral and aloof in keeping with nineteenth century liberal doctrine (especially before 1906). If either of these somewhat contradictory characterizations are true, then th…

The Humbug in American Religion: Ritual Theories of Nineteenth-Century Spiritualism
This essay examines critical modes and dependencies of mid-nineteenth century spiritualism. It looks at the relationship between the ritual dynamics and promotional framings of rappings and séances, and it considers the contested location of those practices within nineteenth-century theories of religion. The argument is threefold: that components of spiritualist practice are better understood alongside certain commercial enterprises; that their e…
Nervous outsiders: Australia and the 1955 Asia-Africa Conference in Bandung
In 1955 29 Asian, African and Middle Eastern nations gathered in Bandung, Indonesia, to discuss a range of issues including colonialism, racialism, economic development, war and peace. India's Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was one of the key figures at the conference, but the Chinese Prime Minister, Chou En-lai, was the primary focus of world attention and media interest. The conference raised awkward questions for the Australian government. …

HE royal tobacco monopoly in New Spain was created by decrees in 1764 and 1765 as an emergency measure to finance Spain's bankrupt treasury in the aftermath of the Seven Years' War. The monopoly proved to be a fiscal bonanza, generating $120 million in net revenues between 1766 and i8io. With annual gross sales sometimes exceeding $8 million, the monopoly was the largest commercial and manufacturing enterprise in New Spain. As an agency of the go…

General Cariappa encounters ‘White Australia’: Australia, India and the commonwealth in the 1950s
There have been a number of studies of the White Australia policy and some examination of white Australia's relationship to the new, multiracial Commonwealth that emerged after the Second World War. Drawing extensively on Indian sources, this article examines how Australia was viewed by India's high commissioner to Australia and New Zealand, General K. M. Cariappa. In the period from September 1953 to April 1956 he sparked considerable controvers…

Low visibility on the inside track
The critique of ‘spin’ in recent autobiographical accounts of political reporting from Westminster is deficient because it fails to ask questions about political journalists' own ideologies and practice. Without greater self-reflexivity on the part of these journalistsas-political-actors, government may systematically be misunderstood
