Exploring the role of yoga in teachers' professional identity and pedagogical approaches
Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, this study examines how teachers who completed yoga teacher training made sense of its implications for professional identity and classroom practice. Consistent with an interpretivist and hermeneutic phenomenological approach, the study focuses on how participants interpreted and attributed meaning to lived experience, rather than treating identity or pedagogy as directly observable constructs. Teac…
Sara Oscar, Counterfactual Departures (Bangkok Winter Gardens) and The Mute
This photowork presents extracts from a conversation between myself and Andrew Fisher, discussing two interconnected bodies of work: Counterfactual Departures (Bangkok Winter Gardens) (2023) and The Mute (2025). Both series use generative imaging platforms, Midjourney and ChatGPT as a form of speculative imaging practice. Counterfactual Departures is a series of synthetic images reimagining my Thai mother’s migration from Bangkok to Sydney as an …
Community-driven approaches to homelessness enumeration
Introduction The 2024 Thunder Bay Point-in-Time (PiT) Count represents an innovative, community-led approach to enumerating people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in a mid-sized Canadian city, co-led by the Lakehead Social Planning Council and the Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre. Grounded in cultural inclusivity, the initiative sought to enhance PEH enumeration through locally adapted methodologies.Methods This case study incorporated a …
Teaching and knowledge
In this paper we explore the connection between the act of teaching and the imparting of knowledge. Our overarching aim is to demonstrate that the connection between them is less tight than one might suppose. Our stepping off point is a recent paper by David Bakhurst who (on one reading, at least) takes a strong view, opposed to our own. On our reading, Bakhurst argues that there is a tight conceptual connection between teaching and the imparting…
Australian and New Zealand Veterinary Students' Ranking of Issues in Aquatic Animal Welfare and Ethics
The welfare of aquatic animals is receiving increasing attention around the world, and this should be reflected in the veterinary curricular. Veterinary students in Australia and New Zealand ranked the importance of five pre-selected topics on aquatic animal welfare and ethical issues for newly qualified veterinarians in an online survey. They ranked aquatic animals' health and welfare issues, husbandry techniques of farmed fish, and the use of a…
Trust in education
The philosophy of trust is a relatively small subfield. Nonetheless, it contains within it many important insights. Our contention in this paper is that careful study of this subfield can bring with it many insights that can and should be used to reconsider a variety of arguments that have been brought forward in the literature on the philosophy of education and other areas of educational research. Our focus is largely destructive in section 2 of…
Readmission Rates and Diagnoses Following Total Hip Replacement in Relation to Insurance Payer Status, Race and Ethnicity, and Income Status
Big Hunger
How to focus anti-hunger efforts not on charity but on the root causes of food insecurity, improving public health, and reducing income inequality. Food banks and food pantries have proliferated in response to an economic emergency. The loss of manufacturing jobs combined with the recession of the early 1980s and Reagan administration cutbacks in federal programs led to an explosion in the growth of food charity. This was meant to be a stopgap me…
The Metal Scene and The Bible
This article examines the question “how should we understand the use of the Bible in the metal scene?” In the first part, we explore the example of Black Sabbath against the backdrop of the use of the Bible in the band's contemporary society. We argue that the Bible had a particular role in the genesis of Heavy Metal through an–admittedly hazy–understanding of biblical morality shared between metal bands and their audiences. In the second part, w…
Ethics for A-Level
What does pleasure have to do with morality? What role, if any, should intuition have in the formation of moral theory? If something is â simulatedâ , can it be immoral? This accessible and wide-ranging textbook explores these questions and many more. Key ideas in the fields of normative ethics, metaethics and applied ethics are explained rigorously and systematically, with a vivid writing style that enlivens the topics with energy and wit. Indiv…
The Pacific Northwest
Despite decades of neglect by professional historians, the Pacific Northwest brings particular clarity to major themes in Native American history. On both sides of the Cascade Mountains and the US-Canadian border, Native communities have carried on the struggle for territorial integrity, political authority, economic viability, and cultural legitimacy that began in the late eighteenth century. Scholars, in turn, have broadened their studies tempo…

Photographic Scale
This article sets out to develop a critical and theoretical interpretation of what scale means in and for photography, an investigation provoked by the expansive character of photography in the context of networked digital culture that also involves questions relating to historical practices and theorisations of photography. Scale has many different meanings in these contexts and these are normally addressed separately in specialised discursive f…
Spiritual Care in Hospital and the Theology of Jean Pierre de Caussade
Until recently there has been a profound silence concerning world class spiritual writers like Jean Pierre de Caussade. This has led to a failure of discussion on the influence people like de Caussade might have on our present spiritual well-being. This critical reflection of a hospital chaplain's encounter with a patient reveals that de Caussade's life and teaching both influenced de Caussade's own time and still has something prophetic and powe…

Metaethics
Do moral facts exist? What would they be like if they did? What is the link between moral judgement and motivation? Can we know whether something is right and wrong? Is morality a fiction? Metaethics: An Introduction presents a very clear and engaging survey of the key concepts and positions in what has become one of the most exciting and influential fields of philosophy. Free from technicality and jargon, the book covers the main ideas that have…
Speech‐act theory as a new way of conceptualizing the ‘student experience’
This article has four aims. The first is to characterize the key features of speech‐act theory, and, in particular, to show that there is a genuine distinction between the sound uttered when someone is speaking (locution), the effect the speech has (perlocution) and the very act of speaking (the illocution). Secondly, it aims to demonstrate that illocutionary speech‐acts are an integral part of higher education, and thirdly, to specify the condit…
Imperial Subjects
Companions in Guilt
Meta‐ethics is a domain which thrives on the cross‐fertilization of ideas, and meta‐ethicists are often quick to look to other subjects such as mathematics, logic and science for companions in guilt and innocence. However, they do not normally reflect on this ‘looking’; this book does. It turns a rigorous analytical spotlight on the style of argument it calls ‘companions in guilt’ (CIG). This is a wholly worthwhile endeavour, and the book is a us…
Moral Fictionalism ? Mark Eli Kalderon
Kalderon argues that moral fictionalism is the most promising position in meta‐ethics, since it captures what is attractive about both realism and non‐cognitivism. In ch. 1 he argues that there are good reasons to accept non‐cognitivism, and in ch. 2 that there are good reasons to reject non‐factualism, the view that the content of a moral sentence does not consist in any moral proposition expressed, for it expresses none. In the rest of the book…
Good, God, and the open-question argument
In Finite and Infinite Goods , Robert Adams defends his metaphysical account that good is resemblance to God via an ‘open-question’ intuition. It is, however, unclear what this intuition amounts to. I give two possible readings: one based on the semantic framework Adams employs, and another based on Adams's account of humankind's epistemological limitations. I argue that neither of these readings achieves Adams's advertised aim
An Assessment of Norplant Removal in Indonesia
From 1987 to 1997, approximately four million Indonesian women had a Norplant insertion. Concerns have been raised about the timely removal of the implant within a few days of the user's request or at the end of the recommended five years of use and about the possibility of a large and rapidly increasing backlog of removal cases developing. This study of 2,979 Indonesian women in 14 provinces, all of whom had had Norplant inserted five or more ye…
Community food security and environmental justice
First Feed the Face”
Environmental justice and community food security represent parallel though largely separate movements whose linkage would help establish a new community development, environmental, and empowerment‐based discourse. Environmental justice has been limited by its risk discrimination focus, even as environmental justice organizations have shifted to a broader social justice orientation, eclipsing their earlier environmental focus. Community food secu…

Using Situation Analysis Data to Assess the Functioning of Family Planning Clinics in Nigeria, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe
Situation analyses conducted in Nigeria. Tanzania, and Zimbabwe have revealed problems in the functioning of many of the subsystems of family planning service delivery, namely in supplies of commodities; in facilities and equipment; in staffing and training; in information, education, and communication; and in record keeping. Although a clear pattern of clinic use exists, in that only a few service-delivery points provide contraceptive services t…
The Situation Analysis Study of the Family Planning Program in Kenya
A new, relatively "quick and clean" operations research approach called a "situation analysis" was developed for examining the strengths and weaknesses of the family planning program of Kenya. Field research teams visited a stratified random sample of 99 of the Ministry of Health's approximately 775 service delivery points. Observation techniques and interviewing were used to collect information on program components and on the quality of care pr…
Guidelines for Overcoming Design Problems in Family Planning Operations Research
This report is concerned with designs for field intervention studies utilized in operations research. Beginning with an overview of the objectives of operations research, the authors go on to review the difficulties associated with using "true experimental" designs. Proposed guidelines for designing quasi-experimental studies are then discussed. The guidelines focus on using multiple sources of data, multiple measurements over time, and multiple …

Family Planning Field Research Projects
This report discusses the experience of a two-year family planning and maternal/child health project in Nepal. Although the project was planned as an experimental field research endeavor, a series of unanticipated events repeatedly compromised the internal validity of the project and forced design changes. While unexpected events are common in the history of most field projects, they present the research evaluator with the fundamental dilemma of …

An experimental design including baseline and follow-up surveys supplemented by a continuous monitoring s…
Satisfied IUD Acceptors as Family Planning Motivators in Sri Lanka
In this study, government midwives were teamed with currently satisfied IUD acceptors to strengthen field motivational and recruitment efforts. The objective was to increase the number of new IUD acceptors. In the experimental study areas, a total of 3,019 new IUD acceptors were recruited. Time series regression analysis revealed a significant difference between the experimental and comparison areas that was over and above what might be expected …
