    Xavier Lafrance, Stephen Miller et al.ARTICLEL' Histoire2026

    Par la loi du 20 novembre 2023, le législateur avait donné pour mission au Conseil supérieur de la magistrature (CSM) de rédiger une charte de déontologie dont la dernière version avait été rédigée en 2019. La Charte de déontologie des magistrats de l’ordre judiciaire a ainsi été publiée le 12 décembre 2025.

  • Legacy in practice: J. William worden’s connections to suicide prevention

    Shari A Sinwelski, Shari Sinwelski et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2026References: 3

    This article honors the enduring legacy of J. William Worden and his lasting contributions to the field of death studies and suicide prevention, with a focus on how his work continues to shape current clinical practice. Worden's development of the Risk-Rescue Rating and his research on lethality and intent have laid the foundation for many of the tools used today to assess suicide risk and guide care. These approaches are now widely used in crisi…

  • The Sophia Morrison Collection of Manx Folk Charms

    Stephen MillerARTICLEIncantatio An International…2025

    Sophia Morrison (1859–1917) was the leading light of the Manx Language Revival in the Isle of Man in the 1900s and Secretary of the Manx Language Society (founded 1899). Folklorist, folk song collector, and pioneer of recording with the phonograph, she also had a deep interest in folk medicine and amongst her surviving personal papers as part of that research are some seventy charms recorded by her both in Manx (24) and English (46). This corpus …

  • Working Through Loss: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Physicians’ Grief

    Open AccessSarah Burm, Tanya Bierer et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2025

    Although grief is an unavoidable aspect of the human experience, it remains largely unspoken in the workplace, including healthcare. Physicians, in particular, minimize their grief due to professional norms and broader societal discourses, often viewing it as trivial or incomparable to the suffering they witness at work. This study examines how physicians narrate their grief to see which discourses are represented, enacted, and sometimes resisted…

  • Association of Right Ventricular Dysfunction with Risk of Neurodevelopmental Impairment in Infants with Pulmonary Hypertension

    Open AccessRossana Romero Orozco, Tazuddin Mohammed et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    (1) Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) increases pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular (RV) afterload. Assessment of RV systolic function in PH using RV fractional area change (RV FAC) as a marker directly correlates with mortality and the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). However, few studies have assessed neurodevelopmental outcomes. We hypothesize that cardiac RV systolic dysfunction with lower RV FAC is a…

  • The Flower and the Wall”: Poet‐Activist Wiji Thukul and Progressive Martyrdom in Post‐Suharto Indonesia

    Open AccessStephen Miller, Rifka SibaraniARTICLEPolitics and Governance2024Cited by: 1References: 8

    Since the fall of Major-General Suharto’s “New Order” regime, Indonesia has struggled to deal with its authoritarian legacy. This article argues that in the quarter of a century since his disappearance, the Indonesian poet-activist Wiji Thukul (1963–1998?) has become a martyr for the still unfulfilled progressive ideals of the Reformasi (reform) movement that helped to bring down that regime in 1998. Using the developing body of theory around “se…

  • Inquiétude dans les champs: Essai sur la gestion des exploitations agricoles dans l'espace francophone (vers 1730–vers 1830)

    Stephen MillerARTICLEAgricultural History2024

    Inquiétude dans les champs explores the outlook on agriculture of the peasants in charge of medium and large farms in northern France and in what is today francophone Belgium and Switzerland during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Fulgence Delleaux's evidence consists of the peasants' farm-management records of receipts, expenses, and dealings with multiple people. These writings offer an alternative to the viewpoint found in the te…

  • Patapsco Spirits: Eleven Ghost Stories

    Stephen MillerARTICLEJournal of American Folklore2024

    The ghost story genre has always made room for the inclusion of much more than just the invoking of “ghosts,” plain and simple, and Addison Hodges Hart fully embraces this appreciation in his latest book, Patapsco Spirits: Eleven Ghost Stories. In his note to readers, Hart lists the “demons, faeries, ghosts, goblins, fetches, tricksters, sprites, elementals, and angels,” teeming on these pages, “that have occupied our phantasmal folklore for mill…

  • The Transition to Capitalism in Modern France: Primitive Accumulation and Markets from the Old Regime to the post-WWII Era

    Xavier Lafrance, Stephen MillerBOOKThe Transition to Capitalism in…2023

    Historians, since the 1960s, argue that the French economy performed as well as did any economy in Europe during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries thanks to the opportunities for profit available on the market, especially the large consumer market in Paris. Whatever economic weaknesses existed did not stem from the social structure but from exogenous forces such as wars, the lack of natural resources or slow demographic growth. This book ch…

  • The Malagasy Folk-Lore Society (1876–87)

    Stephen MillerARTICLEFolklore2021References: 13

    The Malagasy Folk-Lore Society was founded in 1876 in Madagascar and counts as the first Folk-Lore Society to be so named. The holdings of SOAS University of London allow its history to be documented for the first time. Along with the South African Folk-Lore Society (1879), it was one established in the Global South. The Malagasy Folk-Lore Society and The Folk-Lore Society in London were to become linked through the figure of the Rev. James Sibre…

  • The origins of American capitalism: From colonial subsistence farming to agribusiness in the Northern United States in the nineteenth century

    Open AccessStephen MillerARTICLEÉtudes rurales2020Cited by: 3References: 20

    Colonial era American farmers diversified production for community subsistence. Output grew in step with the population with no developmental impetus. The colonial elite could not enforce levies or restrict access to uncultivated land. During the revolutionary era, in the 1770s-80s, households suddenly faced a state with the capacity to raise taxes, enforce debt payments, and regulate the frontier. Henceforth, in the nineteenth century, speculato…

Methods: We recruited students (N = 1060) from 29 alternative high schools into a prospective cohort study. We used multilevel Poisson regression models to examine whether exposure to e-cigarette commercials and perceptions of their appeal predic…

  • Decadence, Radicalism, and the Early Modern French Nobility: The Enlightened and the Depraved

    Stephen Miller, S M MillerARTICLEFrench History2018

    Chad Denton’s main point in this book is that the French nobility transformed itself during the early modern period from a class associated with landed estates and warfare to one legitimized through intellectual and social refinement. Nobles found a new purpose through a culture of royal service for which one qualified by means of education and elegance. The acquisition of learning became crucial to court life, where nobles secured lucrative posi…

  • Print is Much Safer than MS’: The Fate of Folklore and Folk Song Collections in the Isle of Man

    Open AccessStephen MillerARTICLEKULA knowledge creation…2018References: 2

    The Isle of Man in the 1890s saw remarkable activity in the collecting of folklore and folk song, both in English and Manx Gaelic. This was followed by a further wave of collectors in the next decade, enthused by the Celtic Revival. Much of the material collected has now been lost for a variety of reasons detailed in this article. The most significant loss was that of the cylinder recordings made by the Manx Language Society between 1905 and 1913…

  • The rural municipalities of 1787: The nobility, seigneurial regime and revolutionary politics

    Stephen MillerARTICLEEuropean Review of History Revue…2018Cited by: 1References: 1

    In 1787, the French monarchy invited rural residents to elect municipalités. These village administrations formed the lowest rung of a broader reform bringing the landed classes into provincial assemblies. The king and his ministers sought to enlist the support of royal subjects for fiscal reform. The monarchy’s archives regarding the rural municipalities bear directly on debates about the privileged orders in the origins of the Revolution. Noble…

  • Jeremy Hayhoe. Strangers and Neighbours: Rural Migration in Eighteenth-Century Northern Burgundy

    Stephen MillerARTICLEThe American Historical Review2018

    Recent generations of historians have shown that maybe more than half of all individuals and families moved away from their villages of birth in Old Regime France. Peasants constantly disappeared from the tax rolls. Yet because people migrated such short distances, the consensus is that French society cannot be considered mobile. Jeremy Hayhoe—having studied tax rolls and census data across the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as test…

    Gadi Benezer, Stephen MillerBOOKMigration Journey2017

    Between 1977 and 1985, some 20,000 Ethiopian Jews left their homes in Ethiopia and embarked on a secret and highly traumatic exodus to Israel. Due to various political circumstances they had to leave their homes in haste, go a long way on foot through unknown country, and stay for a period of one or two years in refugee camps, until they were brought to Israel. The difficult conditions of the journey included racial tensions, attacks by bandits, …

  • Do Piketty and Saez Misstate Income Inequality? Critiquing the Critiques

    George Mechling, Stephen Miller et al.ARTICLEReview of Political Economy2017Cited by: 6References: 3

    A large body of literature points to sharply growing income inequality over the past half century. The Piketty and Saez dataset that measures income distribution provides empirical support for this claim. Our article evaluates three prominent criticisms of this dataset as well as the responses of Piketty and Saez to these criticisms. One key argument against using their dataset is that Piketty and Saez do not control for income shifting by top in…

    The Folk-Lore Society between 1879 and 1930 published alongside its journal a monograph series known as the Extra Volume. While some thirty-six titles appeared, this activity of the Society has not received due attention. Presented here is a shelf-checked listing of these at times bibliographically confusing works together with an account of the series itself, a thematic overview of the titles, and a description of the financial cost to the Socie…
