Prevention of commercial tobacco use among Native American youth
Objectives Culturally grounded approaches to commercial tobacco use (CTU) prevention among Native American youth remain limited. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of the Talking Circle Intervention (TCI) and explored preliminary trends in CTU and Native Reliance (cultural identity). Method A one-group pretest-posttest design was utilized with a community-based participatory research approach. A total of 20 Native Americ…

A pilot study of virtual Harm Reduction Talking Circles for American Indian and Alaska Native adults with alcohol use disorder
Prior research suggests that culturally aligned, accessible and lower‐barrier interventions are well‐placed to align with the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Taking into account community members' suggestions and the need for physical distancing during the COVID‐19 pandemic, our team developed a protocol for virtual Harm Reduction Talking Circles (HaRTC) to incorporate these points. The a…
A Cultural‐Based approach to address substance use among urban Native American young adults
Native American young adults residing in urban communities are particularly vulnerable to substance use. After leaving high school, the pressures and stress of continuing education, finding employment, and the responsibilities related to family and tribal community obligations predispose these young adults to substance use. This study used a pre/post test design to evaluate a cultural‐based Talking Circle intervention for the prevention of substa…
The Life-Course Perspectives of Mexican American Men With Mobility Limitation
The life-history narratives of 10 Mexican American men with mobility limitations, age 55-77 years (mean = 63.8, SD = 5.8), were explored using a qualitatively driven, life-history mixed-methods study to understand perceptions of mobility limitations over the life course. Within that methodological and paradigmatic framework, conceptualizations of alterity and masculinity guided interpretation of data. Through an iterative, thematic analysis, we d…
Situational selves of online identity and rationality in choosing – More examples of the college students’ online identity in China
The Internet has provided a new context for the exploration of the concept of identity. Different identities were expressed on different online settings, which indicates the feature of ‘situational selves’ of online identities. By comparing the differences among WeChat identity, Weibo identity and offline identity, more examples were introduced not only to explain ‘situational selves’, but also the ‘rationality’ in choosing among different online…
Is your online identity different from your offline identity? – A study on the college students’ online identities in China
This study took innovative perspectives in studying the college students’ online identities in China. Three modes of online identities were found to satisfy the participants’ different needs, which indicate the principle of what is lacking tends to appear online. The logic of ‘imagination–reflection circle’ explains these online behaviours and show the ‘rationality’ in choosing among different identities to fulfill the users’ different needs acco…

Addressing Substance Use Utilizing a Community-Based Program among Urban Native American Youth Living in Florida
This study was conducted in Florida among two urban Native American youth programs that are sponsored by urban Native American community organizations. Convenience and snowballing were used as a sample recruitment strategy. Assignment to the experimental condition (UTC) and the control condition (SE) was established by randomizing the two community youth program sites to the two conditions. Utilization of a culturally relevant theory, Native-Reli…
Sacred Connections
Native American (NA) youth report higher rates of alcohol, marijuana, and drug use than U.S. adolescents from any other racial/ethnic group. Addressing this health disparity is a significant research priority across public health, minority health, and dissemination and implementation (D&I) sciences, underscoring the need for empirically-based interventions tailored for NA youth. Effective D&I with NA youth incorporates NA cultural values and invo…
Masculinizing national service
As a conscription-based military, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) fulfils an important role in transforming Singaporean boys from various classes and ethnic backgrounds into adult men. At a time when there is interest in the production and performativity of military masculinities in countries that have abandoned conscription, this article examines how, as a rite of passage into manhood, compulsory enlistment in the SAF reproduces hegemonic mascu…
Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement and the promotion of deviance
As a social movement demanding universal suffrage, Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement mobilized thousands of young protesters and fomented radical views stridently subversive of mainland China's political interference. The social movement continues to promote further forms of deviance in the form of calling for independence. As the city and former British colony lacks the sovereignty of statehood and democracy, the movement's non-conformity to law nee…

Eurasian Emigration from Singapore
In the late modern era, emigration and concomitant citizenship renunciations in countries that do not allow dual citizenship can be the result of lifestyle preferences or better work opportunities. Although emigration is an integral dimension of cosmopolitanism in an era when national borders are porous, Singapore discourages the emigration of its citizens but prefers its new migrants to maintain cosmopolitan links. This is perhaps anomalous to i…
Cumulative Trauma Among Mayas Living in Southeast Florida
Mobile student to mobile worker
Universities, as part of the neoliberal regime imposed on them, are being co-opted into a 'war for talent', in which national economic success is heavily invested. We examine part of this 'war' that affects universities directly – the recruitment of 'the brightest and the best' internationally mobile students and their subsequent retention by the host country as high-skill workers. After an account of this war for talent and its implications for …
Student–parent attitudes toward Filipino migrant teachers in Indonesia
Using ethnographic data gleaned from a foreign-managed Christian school in Indonesia, this article situates the ethnic prejudices of Indonesian Chinese parents and students toward Filipino teachers within the organizational and cultural politics of private schooling. It is argued that the commoditization of education as a form of market consumption alongside the masculinized international curriculum help shape the feminization of teachers from th…

The postcolonial ambiguities of Eurasian pan-ethnicity in Singapore
There is a need to critically address the latent conceptual ambiguities in the pan-ethnic Eurasian label, and how it functions within the Singapore nation state’s ethno-racial regimes of representation. In response, this paper provides conceptual clarity by discussing the reaches and limits of this term as a floating signifier, as well as how it can be better operationalized as a modality of research. As a prelude to calling for a departure from …

Theories of Ethnic Humor
ETHNIC HUMOR HAS ALWAYS FORMED A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE WORLD OF American folklore and culture, partly because it provides pleasure, and partly because of its connection with mythical concepts of aggression, struggle, and our national passion play and ritual, Americanization. 1 Humor, moreover, is absolutely central to our conception of the world. Despite this fact, we tend to become suddenly solemn when we begin to write, particularly for schol…
Existentialist internationalisation and the Chinese student experience in English universities
Much of the ‘internationalisation’ that is currently observed in English universities is driven, whether directly or not, by economic and financial rationales associated with a particular neo‐liberal discourse of globalisation into which higher education has been subsumed. This is particularly true for the recruitment of international students into English universities. We present a case for the recasting of the higher education internationalisat…

International Examinations, National Systems and the Global Market
This paper is a report on preliminary investigations into the uses which national (as distinct from expatriate) students make of international school‐level qualifications. It reviews some of the qualifications that are available and the organisations that market them. Representative examples of data obtained from various schools offering these qualifications in different countries are presented and then discussed. Patterns from these examples ind…

it has meant to both policy-makers and practitioners: non-vocational courses which are voluntarily undertaken thus excluding technical training and 'merely recreational', activities. Dr Lowe holds this narrow conception fundamentally responsible for the lack of development of adult education compared to that in the United States and other European countries and urges the adoption of a more catholic definition. He stresses the need for greater co-…

Air pollution and human health
Approaches to measuring the impact of air pollution on human health are an important aspect of environmental benefit estimation. Existing U.K. and U.S. evidence is reviewed and some new evidence based on a cross sectional study in the U.K. is presented. This is based on the premise that the effects of air pollution should be evaluated not on directly caused deaths but on their general impact on the environment which may act synergistically with o…

Making the Curriculum Work
How can curriculum content be adjusted to tomorrow's needs? Can student assessment help make curricula more relevant? How can further training for teachers make their teaching more effective? These questions lie at the heart of curriculum reform, which is unanimously ranked among the top priorities in education, but often approached too narrowly. To be truly effective, curricula must be fully consistent with both teaching practice and education p…
