Green skills gap—A way ahead
This study looks at what has been called the "skills gap" in the UK and the EU in key renewable energy and allied fields, factors that might slow the development of green energy technology. Within this emerging sector, new skills training is evidently going to be an urgent requirement. But, although there will be a need for new people coming into the industry to have the right skills, there will also be a need to upskill the current workforce. Wh…
From a dark place to a blue space: Open Water Swimming Transformed Our Lives
This study focused upon two individuals who used open water swimming (OWS) as a therapeutic means of recovery from a significant period of acute mental ill-health, in which both had attempted suicide. A case study approach was utilised to explore the participant's backstories, mental ill-health, and subsequent recovery. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the field where each individual typically participates in OWS. In addition, the fie…
Has Methodism's 'White History' Determined Its 'Black Future'? African Traditional Healing and the Methodist Church of Southern Africa
Postcolonial discourses on religion have extensively explored the intersections of race and religion. Particular research within such discourses has been conducted to explore the intersection of Whiteness and Christianity in postcolonial contexts. The Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA) is an example of a postcolonial Christian denomination that seeks to assert itself as 'authentically African' whilst having a distinctly colonial, missiona…

The Impact of Corporate QE on Liquidity: Evidence from the UK
There is substantial uncertainty about the impact of quantitative easing on market liquidity. Identifying the impact is particularly challenging due to the potential for reverse causality, because liquidity considerations might affect quantitative easing purchases. We address this challenge by studying the Bank of England’s 2016–7 Corporate Bond Purchase Scheme. In particular, we use granular offer-level data from the Corporate Bond Purchase Sche…
Pain, Culture and Pedagogy: A Preliminary Investigation of Attitudes Towards “Reasonable” Pain Tolerance in the Grassroots Reproduction of a Culture of Risk
In recent years a considerable body of psychological research has explored the relationship between membership of socio-cultural groups and personal pain perception. Rather less systematic attention has, however, been accorded to how such group membership(s) might influence individual attitudes towards the pain of others. In this paper, immersion in the culture of competitive sport, widely regarded as being exaggeratedly tolerant of risky behavio…
Essential Shared Values and 21st Century Journalism
The digital era has created uncertainty about the need for journalism. Here I argue that technology brought about a paradigm shift for mass communication which resulted in a change in conventions and expectations for journalism, along with other types of communication. Despite this and other historical paradigm shifts, journalism is needed to be a trusted purveyor of balanced, accurate, relevant, and complete information that is needed by citizen…

Primary Groups
Primary group is a concept principally characterized by intimate, face‐to‐face, and geographically local social ties that tend to be enduring and to provide primary socialization and social support. Three main conceptual dualities – primary versus secondary groups, strong versus weak ties, and the psychological drive for safety versus the drive for competence and efficacy – along with the role of all of these in the development of the modern inst…
The Vietnamese War: Revolution and Social Change in the Mekong Delta, 1930-1975
A monumental work of research and analysis, this is a history of the Vietnam War in a single province of the Mekong Delta over the period 1930-1975. More precisely, it is a study of the Vietnamese dimension of the "Vietnam War, " focusing on the revolutionary movement that became popularly known as the "Viet Cong." There are several distinctive features to this study: (1) it provides an explanation for the paradox of why the revolutionary movemen…
Artistic Citizenship: Artistry, Social Responsibility, and Ethical Praxis
Artistic Citizenship: Artistry, Social Responsibility, and Ethical Praxis examines the many ways that artists (amateur and professional), community artist-facilitators, educators, and scholars in music, dance/movement, theater, visual arts, poetry/storytelling, and media and technology conceive and deploy their abilities to advance democratic citizenship and human flourishing in local, national, and international contexts. Among the questions thi…
The Alternative Technology Movement: An Early Green Radical Challenge

Pragmatism
Pragmatism began in 1871 with the formation of a discussion group of six Harvard graduates and scholars, among them the early pragmatist thinkers Charles Sanders Peirce and William James. The ideas of Peirce, including his doubt–belief theory of inquiry and theory of signs, and the ideas of James, especially his Principles of Psychology , were to influence the later Chicago or social pragmatists John Dewey and George Herbert Mead. Charlene Haddoc…

Media, Ethics of
Ethics of media may seem to be an oxymoron, particularly to anyone who has felt misused by media. But “media” refers to a diffuse collection of corporations. These include for‐profit and not‐for‐profit companies and companies that take as their primary description one of three basic thrusts: news/information, persuasion in the form of public relations or advertising, and entertainment. Each kind of company has its own social function and the resu…

Music, personhood, and eudaimonia: Implications for educative and ethical music education
This paper proposes that educative and ethical music making and teaching, which is based on a praxial philosophy of music education (Elliott and Silverman, 2014), can be carried out in a variety of ways that create places and spaces, in schools and community settings, for a variety of human values or 'goods' that include, but go beyond, making and listening to classical instrumental music, or any other kind of music, for 'the music itself.'One pr…

Primary Groups
Cooley (1909) coined the term primary group to denote intimate, comparatively permanent, and solidary associations of mutually identifying persons, and a century of sociological research has increased our understanding of primary groups in their variety of forms and multifaceted, contingent functions. According to Cooley, primary groups are primary in the sense of providing the first and (because of the greater openness and pliability of children…
Terrorism, Global Journalism, and the Myth of the Nation State
Citizens require independent reporting more than ever in the news coverage of conflict in the 21st century. The traditional role of national governments has been compromised both by terrorism and by technology that makes hard borders porous. It is unlikely that citizens or policymakers will cope with those changes unless they are reminded how the world has changed. That is an essential role for journalism, and provides a distinction between the t…

Vietnam: Institutional Development in a Time of Crisis
During the past three decades Vietnam had more than its share of crises, but 1978 may, in retrospect, be viewed as one of the most crucial and perilous years in its history as an independent state. Beset with external threats and internal problems, the leader ship of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV) faces what may be their most demanding challenge to date. It is not so much that the gravity of the challenge is any more serious than in the …

Motorcycle Theft, Helmet Legislation and Displacement
Most current theory, which treats crime as an expression of psychological or social malaise, would hold that displacement of offending undermines the value of measures to reduce opportunities for crime. However, a drop of more than 60% in motorcycle thefts in the Federal Republic of Germany, brought about by the introduction in 1980 of fines for failing to wear a crash helmet, was not followed by increases in thefts of cars or bicycles. This may …

Vietnam's 1991 Party Elections
election of the recent Central Committee of the Vietnamese Communist party at its Seventh Congress. The first is increasing fragmentation of power and balkanization of the political system. Second, the leadership group is a transitional one between the old and new generations, but more like the old guard than different from it. Vietnam has not yet discovered its political future. Examination of the composition of this new leadership group reveals…

Death and learning disability: A vulnerability perspective
People with learning disabilities often have to cope with death, dying and bereavement without being fully informed of the circumstances and sometimes without being told that death is imminent or indeed has occurred. This paper explores the issues associated with death and dying from the perspective of people with learning disabilities, and considers proactive ways of working in this sensitive area
