Health and access to healthcare among migrant agricultural workers in Spain
BACKGROUND: Migrant agricultural workers (MAW) play a central role in sustaining Spain's agricultural labor markets, yet they remain disproportionately exposed to precarious working and living conditions with implications for health and healthcare access. This study explored self-reported health status, healthcare access, and healthcare utilization among MAW in Spain. METHODS: This study adopted a participatory mixed-methods design and recruited …
Lived experiences of heat stress among migrant agricultural workers in Spain
Background Agricultural workers face high heat stress risk due to environmental and working conditions. Migrant agricultural workers (MAW) are especially vulnerable due to additional structural factors including irregular migratory status and high economic needs. Our study explores the lived experiences of occupational heat stress among MAW and its impact on health. Methods An interpretive, qualitative design was employed. Through purposive sampl…
Beyond the Shell of Home
Drawing on empirical and theoretical traditions that approach people's movement through spaces as stories about culture and possibility, this article considers how the conditions occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic rigidified societal institutions — such as the home and the relations it envelops — and articulates “queer roaming” as an integral method of queer ontologies of mobility. The authors’ analysis of interviews conducted during the pandemi…

Grounding infrastructure
International infrastructure projects are deeply ensconced in debates about power, intentions, and imaginaries of progress that also stir debate about what it means to decolonize international relations and projects that nominally build improvements in low-income environments. Traditional prioritization of technical expertise, the criticality of contextual knowledge, and the dynamics of uneven partnerships involved are all central elements of the…
Bridging across differences toward flourishing in the profession of medicine
Bridging is a facilitative process that advances human flourishing by providing a framework for engagement across groups and between individuals with different views. It aims to increase understanding and find common ground. When rooted in character, caring, and practical wisdom, and practiced intentionally and consistently, bridging has the potential to shape the ecosystems in which we live and work, fostering deep meaning and purpose. We propos…

A Tale of Two Tweets
As more of our lives take place online, it is increasingly common for public figures to have their current image tarnished by their mistakes and transgressions in what is often the distant past. Three experiments ( N = 2,296) found that judgments of a public figure who tweeted racist statements in the past were less harsh when more time had passed and when the public figure was younger at the time of the tweet. However, politics also played a pow…

The Possibilities of Indigenous Inquiry and Third Space Youth Development Work – Towards Decolonising Praxis
Despite theorisation and consistent Pracademic (academics who are also practitioners) contributions to the concepts of truth-telling and decolonising epistemologies in the fields of activist research, there remains ongoing need for articulating the everyday praxis and positionality of empirical work. This paper considers the practice of two intercultural Australian-based practitioners' examination of the ethical practices towards decolonising pra…

Partner Exclusion from Childbirth During Covid-19 in Canada
We explore partner exclusion from perinatal care in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants' narratives show that pregnant couples frame partner presence as a [human] right that was denied, and articulated this as denial of the "right to experience" and the "right to care." These restrictions deprived birth partners and families of an experience that is important to them, and represent a repudiation of the resurgence of birth as a socia…

Using call detail records to determine mobility patterns of different socio-demographic groups in the western area of Sierra Leone during early Covid-19 crisis
Human mobility patterns created from mobile phone call detail records (CDRs) can provide an essential resource in data-poor environments to monitor the effects of health outbreaks. Analysis of this data can be instrumental for understanding the movement pattern of populations allowing governments to set and refine policies to respond to community health risks. Building on CDR mobility analysis techniques, this research set out to test whether com…

Quantitative decision making for investment in global health intervention trials
Background: Partners from an NGO, academia, industry and government applied a tool originating in the private sector - Quantitative Decision Making (QDM) - to rigorously assess whether to invest in testing a global health intervention. The proposed NEWBORN study was designed to assess whether topical emollient therapy with sunflower seed oil in infants with very low birthweight <1500 g in Kenya would result in a significant reduction in neonatal …
‘Choice should be made through… educated decisions not regressive dictates’
BACKGROUND: Several governments have introduced taxes on products with high sugar content as part of their obesity prevention strategies. Bermuda is the first jurisdiction to apply such measures in the Caribbean - a region of small island developing states and territories with high obesity prevalence and substantial reliance on imported food products. This study examines how commercial and health actors framed the proposed introduction of a 75% i…

Methodological Reflections on the Use of Asynchronous Online Focus Groups in Health Research
The Internet is increasingly used as a tool in qualitative research. In particular, asynchronous online focus groups are used when factors such as cost, time, or access to participants can make conducting face-to-face research difficult. In this article we consider key methodological issues involved in using asynchronous online focus groups to explore experiences of health and illness. The written nature of Internet communication, the lack of phy…
Left-Right Ideological Differences in Blaming Victims
In the first of two experiments conducted with liberal and conservative university students (so designated on the basis of their scores on Tomkins' Polarity Scale) men and women made attributions of responsibility to a welfare client. Overall, conservatives blamed the victim more than liberals. The second study extended this finding to the victim of a theft. Liberals were particularly lenient when the victim was described as emotionally upset, su…
Cyborg Anthropology
The following is the text of a paper we presented at the 1992 Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association in San Francisco. It represents a first attempt at positioning cyborg anthropology in a late capitalist world that situates academic theorizing alongside popular theorizing. We view cyborg anthropology as a descriptive label that marks a cultural project rather than an elite academic practice. In other words, cyborg anthropolog…
Two Cities, Five Industries
Recent work has pointed towards the possibility that industries are not tied to their specific urban location as much as to their linkages with particular types of infrastructure and to their social and economic networks. Industries have similar clustering patterns even in very different cities. Using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, we conducted geographic information systems (GIS) analysis to compare cultural industries in Los Angeles and New Y…

The Emergence of Los Angeles as a Fashion Hub
The US fashion industry is a useful lens through which to view the transformation of the country’s urban economic systems. Initially an industrial vanguard, fashion has evolved into a more design-oriented sector and a central part of the ‘cognitive-cultural economy’. Fashion is also a clear demonstration of place-specific comparative advantage and specialisation, intensely linked to ‘place in product’. The paper traces the fashion industry’s evol…
The digital matatu project
In many of the world's growing cities, semi-formal buses form the basis of public transit systems. However, little open and standardized data exist on these systems. The Digital Matatus project in Nairobi, Kenya set out to test whether the geo-locative capabilities of mobile technology could be used to collect data on a semi-formal transit system and whether that data could be translated into the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data sta…
Masculinity in young men's health
Twenty-eight young men took part in two online focus groups exploring understandings of health, help-seeking and health service use. Techniques from Foucauldian discourse analysis were used to elucidate how the young men framed health-related practices within gendered identities in online environments. The discourses are discussed within three discursive themes: 'conceptualising health: everyday health versus "cover man" health', 'help-seeking: t…
Eating Disorders Patients' Views on Their Disorders and on an Outpatient Service
The objective of the study was to determine sufferers' views of outpatient treatment for eating disorders and provide practical recommendations for treatment practice. Twenty NHS outpatients participated in semi-structured interviews, which were subjected to thematic analysis. Respondents expressed ambivalence about whether their eating disorder is a way of exerting control or a disorder that controls them and this leads to them seeking treatment…
Meditations on Anthropology without an Object
These meditations, which begin with Stephan Schwartz and Mark Schroll's contested and contesting histories of the lineage and founding of the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness (below), contribute to the imagining of what Bethe Hagens calls "the relatively new interdisciplinary field of anthropology of consciousness." Ethnographic vignettes from fieldwork of anthropologists, as well as fieldwork of students studying that fieldwork, hig…

The unrealised potential for transformative reparations for sexual and gender-based violence in Sierra Leone
The conflict in Sierra Leone was known for the scope and severity of atrocities targeted at civilians, including sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) mainly perpetrated against women and girls. Post-conflict initiatives included the establishment of a hybrid criminal tribunal, the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL), and a truth and reconciliation commission (TRC). However, neither possessed a mandate for reparations to victims, yet both hav…
Transformative Reparations for Women and Girls at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia
1 Reparations programmes are one form of response to violence. However, scholars have criticized their tendency to focus on restoring victims to the position they were in before the conflict began, usually through awarding restitution, compensation or rehabilitation measures. Instead, critics have suggested that reparations should aim to transform the societal conditions that contribute to sexual violence and the inequality of women and girls thr…
Toward Open Source Kenya
To make good decisions about the future direction of cities we need data to contextualize and make recommendations that are based on past results and potential models for the future. Yet access to information including geographic information systems (GIS) is challenging, particularly as data are often seen as a commodity or source of power by those who control it, a dynamic more severe in contexts like Kenya. By generating GIS data for our own tr…
The Role of the Amicus curiae before International Criminal Tribunals
The amicus curiae brief has increasingly been used before international criminal tribunals. The practice of accepting or inviting amicus curiae briefs or submissions has been included in the rules of procedure and evidence of the ICTY, the ICTR, the Special Court for Sierra Leone and the International Criminal Court. This article examines the role of amicus curiae before international criminal courts, including: how and when amicus are granted pe…
The application of SLA research to interpreting
For many interpreters, at least one of their working languages is a second language (L2) i.e. acquired after early childhood. The status of L1 and L2 in relation to each other is an issue which has often been neglected; much research on interpreting has tended to focus on the processes involved, i.e. comprehension and production, on a structureal or semantic comparison of the languages involved, but not on their relation to each other within one …

A “shift in attitude”? Institutional change and sexual and gender-based crimes at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia
The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) has been slow to address sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) crimes perpetrated during the Democratic Kampuchea regime. However, there appears to have been a tentative “shift in attitude” at the ECCC toward the investigation and prosecution of these crimes. This article draws on feminist institutionalist theories, first to explain the ECCC’s initial failure to prioritize SGBV and the…

Abjection and Anthropological Praxis
Studying anthropologists and making the culture of culture professionnals into an object of research not only foregrounds the quandaries of feminist, postmodernist, and postcolonial critiques as cultural practice, but also demonstrates that such quandaries are coincident with the representational politics of anthropology. In this essay the ethnographic writing of the A. draws on theorizations of abjection to make intelligible the quandaries of he…

The Mismanagement of Talent
The challenge confronting governments around the world today is to enhance the employability of the workforce. Every effort must be made to expand access to higher education, disregard social circumstances, gender, and other such barriers to talent, and to harness human creativity and enterprise to meet the demands of the new economy. However, people who have attained higher education are having trouble finding jobs, with rising stakes for the wi…

Mobile Landscapes
The technology for determining the geographic location of cell phones and other handheld devices is becoming increasingly available. It is opening the way to a wide range of applications, collectively referred to as location-based services (LBS), that are primarily aimed at individual users. However, if deployed to retrieve aggregated data in cities, LBS could become a powerful tool for urban analysis. In this paper we aim to review and introduce…
Causes of Death Among Patients With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating illness affecting thousands of individuals. At the present time, there are few studies that have investigated causes of death for those with this syndrome. The authors analyzed a memorial list tabulated by the National CFIDS Foundation of 166 deceased individuals who had had CFS. There were approximately three times more women than men on the list. The three most prevalent causes of death were hear…
