Association between the number of social roles and self-rated health
Background Health effects of multiple role occupancy and their mechanism are not fully addressed. We examined (1) the association between the number of social roles and self-rated health (SRH) and (2) the mediation effects of ikigai (the sense of life worth living) and the size of close social networks to the association. Methods We analysed the cross-sectional baseline questionnaire data of the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study …
Weaponizing Nature, Naturalizing Violence
After decades of denial and obstruction, the global Right is increasingly willing to acknowledge that climate change is a threat to lives and lifeways everywhere. Moreover, some seize on the specter of ecological collapse to advance fascistic politics. Mass shootings by White men who propose that eliminating racialized people will ease environmental pressures—including in Christchurch and El Paso—have been the most spectacular manifestations of t…
The darker side of cat lives
This essay explores two different cases of #CatLivesMatter occurring between 2015 and 2022. By examining the discourses and effects of moral outrage that circulated within these controversies, I point to how the animal is used as an alibi that permits the blasting of white supremacist ideologies out into the open with unchecked speed, scale, and escalating calls to violence. Animal rights campaigns such as #CatLivesMatter thus not only co-opt the…
Trends in health and health inequality during the Japanese economic stagnation
Although this study was a case study of one country, Japan, and inference to other countries cannot be made with certainty, the findings provide evidence that low economic growth over two decades did not inevitably translate to unfavourable population health. Japanese health inequalities according to income were stable during the study period. Therefore, this study highlighted the possibility that for high-income countries, low economic growth ma…

Paradoxical nature of narrative in analytical psychotherapy
This study explored the changes, obstacles for changes and the sharing of narratives in psychotherapeutic case studies. Study 1 developed an index for analyzing the process of narratives in psychotherapy, based on 101 cases. In Study 2, 203 cases were evaluated using the index generated from Study 1. As a result, three paradoxical natures of narrative became evident. Narrative in psychotherapy is thought to include (1) recognizing the beginning o…
Gender Differences in Psychological Symptoms and Psychotherapeutic Processes in Japanese Children
Gender differences have been documented in the prevalence of psychological symptoms. Tic disorders and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more common in male clinical samples, while selective mutism and trichotillomania are more common in female clinical samples. In a review of 84 published case studies of Japanese children, this study explored gender differences in the prevalence of four categories of symptoms and expressions made in therapy for…
The Good Farmer
In Zimbabwe, land has always been a visible index of racial domination and oppression. Following independence in 1980, the redistribution of white property to black farmers emerged as one of the most contentious battlegrounds for refiguring citizenship and nationhood. This article explores how white farmers in a small community in western Zimbabwe fought to establish claims to belonging as they faced the threat of imminent land reform at the turn…
The Nature of Whiteness
"The Nature of Whiteness explores the intertwining of race and nature in postindependence Zimbabwe. Nature and environment have played prominent roles in white Zimbabwean identity, and when the political tide turned against white farmers after independence, nature was the most powerful resource they had at their disposal. In the 1970s, "Mlilo," a private conservancy sharing boundaries with Hwange National Park, became the first site in Zimbabwe t…

Whiteness in Zimbabwe
Drifting Rhinos and Fluid Properties
This paper presents and analyzes a number of tensions that arose in the shift from extensive livestock production to wildlife ranching and tourism in a dispersed community of white farmers in western Zimbabwe. It sketches the broader context of that shift and considers some of its effects, including those on the small (black)farmers of neighbouring Communal Areas. The tensions highlighted and manifested between the ranchers of Mlilo include the n…
