The Slow Genocide of Indigenous Nations and Peoples: Hiding in Plain Sight
British historian Patrick Wolfe opined that settler colonialism is not just an event in history but is structural and, by definition, eliminates to replace over time.Colonial rule and domination often seek the extermination of occupied nations and peoples through forced assimilation and attrition. Despite the fact that colonialism is at its core ethnic cleansing, forced assimilation, and slow genocide, the protracted colonial elimination of origi…
Perceived protective factors associated with cannabis use among HBCU undergraduates
The purpose of this study was to determine the protective psychosocial correlates of cannabis use frequency in a HBCU sample. The sample included 680 college students (mean age = 19.94, SD = 1.69), with 515 females. Participants completed an online survey that included self-reported cannabis use frequency and protective measures (i.e., Social Support, Self-Compassion, Life Satisfaction, and Ethnic Identity). Ethnic identity and life satisfaction …
Unearthing meaning within stylistically homogeneous ceramics: A study from Ntuusi, western Uganda
Does public justification face an ‘expert problem’? Some thoughts in light of the Covid-19 pandemic
Policies are often justified to the public with reference to factual claims that most people cannot easily verify or scrutinise because they lack relevant knowledge or expertise.This poses a challenge for theories of public justification which require that laws are justified using reasons that all can accept.Further difficulties arise in cases such as the response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic where the factual base of knowledge used to justif…
Commentary on Remaking the Late Holocene Environment of Western Uganda: Archaeological Perspectives on Kansyore and Later Settlers
Placemaking and infrastructure through the lens of levelling up for health equity: A scoping review
The planning and delivery of infrastructure influences how places create health equity. The scholarship on place and health has recently been developed into 'levelling up' principles for equity focussed policy and planning. We conducted a scoping review of the literature on infrastructure through urban regeneration and placemaking interventions. We interrogated the 15 final selected articles for their use of one or more of the five 'levelling' up…
How can political liberalism respond to contemporary populism
Populism – which positions a ‘true people’ in opposition to a corrupt elite – is often contrasted with liberalism. This article initially outlines the incompatibility between populism and normative theories of political liberalism. It argues that populism is an unreasonable form of politics by liberals’ standards because: it unfairly excludes those who are not deemed to be part of the true ‘people’; and it is objectionably anti-pluralist in the w…
Buses and Breaking Point: Freedom of Expression and the ‘Brexit’ Campaign
In the aftermath of the ‘Brexit’ referendum two pieces of campaign material used by the successful Leave campaign proved controversial: a slogan on the side of a bus fallaciously implying that leaving the EU would necessarily free up £350 million a week for the NHS; and a poster stating that Britain was at “Breaking Point” – purportedly due to an influx of migrants – that was redolent of Nazi propaganda. This paper analyses and develops some crit…
Does Regulating Hate Speech Undermine Democratic Legitimacy? A Cautious ‘No’
This paper critiques the version of the argument that the regulation of hateful speech by the state undermines its democratic legitimacy made by Ronald Dworkin and James Weinstein (hereafter the Legitimacy Argument). It argues that in some cases the harmful effects of hateful speech on the democratic process outweigh those of restriction. It does not challenge the central premise of the Legitimacy Argument, that a wide-ranging right to freedom of…
The Lake, Bananas and Ritual Power in Buganda
Constructing History in Uganda
This contribution seeks to explore the potential for historical archaeology in Uganda. By reflecting on where the potential strengths of such an approach may lie it is suggested that the most effective contributions will be made where there is a significant breadth and depth of historical sources. However, in Uganda the emphasis has tended to be on archaeological sites with distant or even dubious historical associations. The situation is further…
Archaeological ivory and the impact of the elephant in Mawogola
While the devastation of elephants due to the demand for ivory in recent centuries is well known, the use of ivory in earlier times in sub-Saharan Africa as well as the interaction with elephant populations is less well understood. This article considers the use of ivory and the long-term relationship between humans and elephants in one area, Mawogola, in south-western Uganda. Its scope extends from the initial encounters with elephants around 1,…
Commentary: Some reflections on ethical developments in African archaeology
Any consideration of ethics in African archaeology must recognise the huge transformations that the discipline has made in the last thirty years with the emergence of numerous African scholars and African teaching institutions. Furthermore, ethical considerations must recognise the very different conditions in which archaeology is practiced across the continent. The challenge for archaeologists in the future is to identify how to effectively enga…
The Emergence of States in Great Lakes Africa
The states that emerged in the Great Lakes region, which include Buganda, Bunyoro, Nkore, Karagwe, Rwanda, and Burundi, are important on a continental, and even a global, scale because they form the one region of incipient African state formation for which no impact from potential external influences has been credibly proposed. This article examines ceramic traditions, settlement dynamics and economy, and later kingdoms and their capitals. This r…
Physical Education, Cognition and Agency
Traditional analytical philosophy of education assigns a peripheral place to physical education, partly because orthodox epistemology finds its cognitive claims implausible. An understandable but dubious response to this state of affairs is the attempt to relocate physical education within the academic curriculum, with its characteristic emphasis on theoretical knowledge and formal assessment. Dissatisfaction with this response suggests an analys…
Cattle, identity and genocide in the African Great Lakes region
Archaeological research into the origins of the cattle-keeping people of southwestern Uganda has overturned long-held beliefs about the separate origins of the pastoral and agricultural pop ulations of the region. Study of indigenous political development and nineteenth-century colonialism shows that the present-day ethnic identities, which fu elled the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, are recent constructions
Developing interprofessional health competencies in a virtual world
Background: Virtual worlds provide a promising means of delivering simulations for developing interprofessional health skills. However, developing and implementing a virtual world simulation is a challenging process, in part because of the novelty of virtual worlds as a simulation platform and also because of the degree of collaboration required among technical and subject experts. Thus, it can be difficult to ensure that the simulation is both t…
Power of Criminal Attractors: Modeling the Pull of Activity Nodes
The spatial distribution of crime has been a long-standing interest in the field of criminology. Research in this area has shown that activity nodes and travel paths are key components that help to define patterns of offending. Little research, however, has considered the influence of activity nodes on the spatial distribution of crimes in crime neutral areas - those where crimes are more haphazardly dispersed. Further, a review of the literature…
Variability in single smelting episodes – a pilot study using iron slag from Uganda
A reconsideration of the figures from Luzira
A context for the Luzira Head
The Luzira head, a pottery figure discovered in a Ugandan prison compound in 1929, has remained curiously anonymous ever since. New archaeological work on the northern shores of (Lake) Victoria Nyanza has defined a formative period of political centralisation at the end of the first millennium AD. The authors show that this period of early to late Iron Age transition is where this remarkable object and related figurative material belongs. This ha…
Local communities, politics and the management of the Kasubi tombs, Uganda
The Kasubi tombs are the resting place of the previous four kings of Buganda. All four kings are buried within the Muzibu-Azaala-Mpanga, a unique structure which offers an unparalleled insight into the precolonial building traditions of Uganda. Being constructed almost entirely from various materials of botanical origin, there are considerable issues of preservation and conservation that have to be tackled at the site. Yet management of the site …

African Historical Archaeologies: An Introductory Consideration of Scope and Potential
Access to Cattle Resources in a Tswana Capital
Symbolism and the social contexts of iron production in Karagwe
Technology is intrinsically rooted within social contexts. Archaeological approaches which do not take this into account fail to fully understand technology. The social contexts of iron production are examined at Igurwa, an iron‐smelting centre within Karagwe, a nineteenth‐century African kingdom. At different levels within the society, power was derived from the control and manipulation of technical and ritual knowledge of iron production. Men e…
Variability in single smelting episodes – a pilot study using iron slag from Uganda
Tswana architecture and responses to colonialism
When considering the nature of culture contact and colonialism it is as important to study the continuities in the host society, as it is to study the impositions made by incoming peoples. The diverse relationships between colonised and colonising societies are likely to be played out in aspects of material culture. This study examines Ntsweng and Phalatswe, two Tswana settlements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the period o…
Cattle herds and the redistribution of cattle resources
This paper seeks to review approaches to the significance of mortality profiles of cattle herds represented by animal remains from archaeological sites in eastern and southern Africa. In particular, the focus is on prevailing interpretations of the presence of large numbers of immature animals at elite sites. First, the theoretical significance of faunai remains is reconsidered, suggesting that provision of meat for the court or capital was an im…

Folk Psychology, Neuroscience and Explanation in Physical Education
The traditional practices of physical educationists presuppose a framework of concepts and assumptions which is generally consistent with the common-sense or folkpsychological point of view. It might be supposed that this will in time be superseded by a revised conceptual framework, based on developments in neuroscience. This paper explores the possible relations between the folk and neuroscientific standpoints in terms of their explanatory adequ…

Bananas and the archaeology of Buganda
The Buganda state, which flourished on the northern shores of Lake Victoria from the 17th to the 19th centuries AD, is widely regarded as one of the most significant socio-political developments of the African continent, most notably having featured prominently in Frazer's The Golden Bough. In bananas, Buganda had a unique subsistence base, and its later history suggests an unusual urban trend of large capitals occupied over short periods of time…
