The gender of dependency theory
Samir Amin’s large body of work affords an opportunity to trace the ways in which he analysed class and gender in the workings of neocolonialism in the aftermath of independence in West Africa and globalisation after the end of the Cold War. Using two key texts, Neo-colonialism in West Africa (1973) and The implosion of contemporary capitalism (2013), this paper traces the way women, gender and dependency theory in Amin’s theoretical framework op…
Does healthcare inequity reflect variations in peoples’ abilities to access healthcare? Results from a multi-jurisdictional interventional study in two high-income countries
We showed that those at higher risk of social vulnerability are more likely to report problematic access and also have low scores on ability to seek, reach, pay, and engage with healthcare. Equity-oriented healthcare interventions should pay particular attention to enhancing people's abilities to access care in addition to modifying organizational processes and structures that reinforce social systems of discrimination or exclusion

Becoming (less) scientific: A longitudinal study of students' identity work from elementary to middle school science
Students' declining science interest in middle school is often attributed to psychological factors like shifts of motivational values, decrease in self-efficacy, or doubts about the utility of schooling in general. This paper adds to accounts of the middle school science problem through an ethnographic, longitudinal case study of three diverse students' identity work from fourth- to sixth-grade school science. Classroom observations and interview…
The Australian situation
Fear of unmediated touch between adults and children has become a feature of life in Anglophone countries, including Australia. Previous research has shown that this fear has had an impact on interactions between adults and children, particularly in education and early years care contexts. To assess the extent to which these fears have influenced Australians' willing to participate or allow their children to participate in junior sport 20 semi-st…
Teaching as Therapy
The 20th century saw a profound change to the model of humanity commonly accepted in the West. At the start of the century the tripartite model of personhood included the components of mind, body and soul, or the physical, mental and moral/spiritual aspects of being. By the end of the century, this had changed to physical, mental and emotional. This substitution of ‘emotional’ for ‘moral’ has had profound effects, not the least on teaching. The e…
Evaluability Assessment as a Tool for Research Network Development
Many research networks have emerged as means to increase research involvement, build research capacity, and develop a research culture, but little is known regarding their effectiveness. Evaluations require that networks have a clearly specified program theory and clearly specified objectives; many networks do not. This article describes the experience of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Education and Research Network of Alberta, a netw…
Time Out of Joint
In this article I examine Christopher Reeve's memoir Still Me, in which Reeve explores the painful and traumatic shift from his previous able-body to his present disabled body. I explore not only the way in which Reeve struggles with his public image as Superman, but also the way in which Reeve's narrative continually fast forwards through episodes of pain and suffering, in order to keep the strong and powerful image of the Super-Crip intact
The West Papua conflict and its consequences for the Island of New Guinea
Large demonstrations in Papua took place on 12 August 2005, during which Papuans expressed their discontent with the failure of the government to implement the 2001 special autonomy law. Refugees will continue to leave West Papua, and discontent with Indonesian rule will continue to mount until the legitimate aspirations of the indigenous Papuan peoples are taken account of, the territory demilitarized and the human rights of the people respected…
Ethics and knowledge in the contemporary university
The article focuses on the ethics and knowledge of intellectuals and redefining their roles in the present context. Intellectuals historically have been a source of controversy because of the political positions they have taken, today it is the pursuit of knowledge that has become problematic Hence the role of the intellectual has become increasingly controversial. This development has made life especially difficult for university researchers. Et…
