Power Motivations and Risk Preferences
In the present research, we sought to examine the relationship between the social power motives (dominance, prestige, and leadership) and risk preferences. In study 1, individuals high in the dominance motive were overall more likely to take risks, judge risks as beneficial in their results, and less likely to perceive risks as risky. Similarly, dominance demonstrated robust and unique predictive utility across all measured subdomains of risk tak…
An uneasy union: The moral and ideological divides of territorial identification in post-Brexit Scotland
Value differences are often implicated as drivers of European identity, yet little is known about how moral values shape divisions over European identity in multi-level polities. We assess how patterns of moral values are associated with Scottish, British and European identification in post-Brexit Scotland. Fielding an online survey, we use Bayesian regression to evaluate our pre-registered hypotheses about moral expansiveness, moral foundations,…
The Eventfulness of Place
For more than two decades, relational approaches to place have proliferated in geography. The most influential account remains Doreen Massey’s, which conceptualizes place as an “event” produced by relations and processes that stretch across time and space. Yet places are not just constituted by relations. The opposite is also true: places make relations. They gather people, things, and stories into a variety of configurations, with effects disper…

Caregivers of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma: Who provides care, what care do they provide and what burden do they experience
Caregivers provide essential care for those with MPM. We show caregiving for patients with MPM involves a range of burdensome tasks that impact caregivers' emotional health and work reflected in ZBI and WPAI scores. Innovations in the management of MPM must account for how caregivers may be impacted and can be supported to carry out this important role
The Significance of W.E.B. Du Bois’s Decolonial Geopolitics
W.E.B. Du Bois was one of the most important intellectuals and activists of the twentieth century. His influence continues to range widely today, from sociological and postcolonial theory to urban and critical race studies. This article suggests that Du Bois was also a significant geopolitical thinker and actor, especially concerning the intersections of race, empire, and White supremacy, though to date this fact has not been recognized by politi…

Peace geographies and the spatial turn in peace and conflict studies: Integrating parallel conversations through spatial practices
Scholarship on the dynamics of peace and conflict is in the midst of a geographic renaissance. Within the discipline there is growing interest among political geographers in theorizing and exploring "geographies of peace". At the same time, the interdisciplinary field of peace and conflict studies is experiencing a "spatial turn" whereby geographic ideas are increasingly engaged. This article provides an overview of these parallel conversations a…
Compensating empire's labour
What does the U.S. owe the global army of workers that labour on its behalf in warzones? This is not a question that comes up when discussing the costs of its various wars. But it should. One reaso
Illegal Housing in Medellín: Autoconstruction and the Materiality of Hope
Drawing on ethnographic research in El Oasis, a highly precarious self-built settlement in Medellín, Colombia, this article examines the illegal practice of autoconstruction as a material expression of hope. It focuses on the multilayered, symbolic meaning of self-built housing, as it represents the pursuit of dignity, permanence, and agency-as opposed to poverty, uncertainty, and lack of agency-and an active and material form of hoping for a bet…
Constructing a Sense of Purpose and a Professional Teaching Identity: Experiences of Teacher Candidates with Disabilities
Using grounded theory, we examined the ways in which undergraduate teacher candidates with disabilities developed a sense of purpose and constructed professional identities. Our findings suggest K-12 experiences with advocacy as well as exclusionary school experiences influenced their emerging professional identities. Resistance to a deficit view of disability was central to teachers’ professional identities and influenced their desire to become …
Empire's Labor: The Global Army That Supports U.S. Wars
In a dramatic unveiling of the little-known world of contracted military logistics, this book examines the lives of the global army of laborers who support US overseas wars. The book brings to the reader the experience of the hundreds of thousands of men and women who perform jobs such as truck drivers and administrative assistants at bases located in warzones in the Middle East and Africa. It highlights the changes the U.S. military has undergon…

Localizing Peacebuilding: The Arizona Market and the Evolution of U.S. Military Peacebuilding Priorities in Bosnia
This article examines peacebuilding localization, in particular how encounters with local contexts and actors shape external peacebuilders' priorities and practices. My vehicle for exploring this dynamic is the rapid emergence of a massive black market in northeast Bosnia, the ‘Arizona’ market, which developed on territory controlled by U.S. peacekeeping forces. I argue that the military's relationship with the market contributed to a shift from …
Fair Is Fair, or Is It? Territorial Identity Triggers Influence Ultimatum Game Behavior
Fairness perception underpins the concept of societal solidarity and is central to regime cohesion, collective identity, and popular legitimacy. The European Union faces challenges on all of these fronts. Perceptions of intergroup (un)fairness and of being “left behind,” for example, provided much of the momentum behind the U.K. Brexit decision. Fairness perception is not, however, an objectively reliable measure. In/outgroup alignments, includin…
Repensar a Escala Como Uma Categoria Geográfica: Da Análise Para a Prática
Nas últimas duas décadas, os geógrafos humanos teorizaram fortemente a escala, e intensificaram as afirmações de que ela é um elemento fundamental da teoria geográfica. No entanto, concomitante a este movimento há uma preocupação crescente de que a escala tenha se tornado um conceito pesado, carregado com significados múltiplos, contraditórios e problemáticos. Eu partilho dessa inquietação e argumento que um debate semelhante sobre a utilidade da…
US military logistics outsourcing and the everywhere of war
US military logistics outsourcing and the everywhere of war. Territory, Politics, Governance. Over the past two decades a network-centric ‘revolution in military affairs’ has profoundly reshaped the geographies of war. No less revolutionary has been the US military’s increasing reliance on private companies that employ a global army of civilian labourers to provide logistical support for operations around the world. This article provides an overv…
College students with disabilities redefine activism: Self-advocacy, storytelling, and collective action
Despite rapid growth in the numbers of students with disabilities enrolling in higher education, there is limited research about their experiences in colleges and universities, and information about their collegiate activism is even more limited. Through a constructivist grounded theory study of 59 college students and recent graduates, we demonstrate the connection between activism and purpose in the lives of students with disabilities. Our find…
Tracing the US Military's Presence in Africa
In recent years there has been growing recognition of the militarisation of US foreign policy in Africa, especially following the establishment of a dedicated, regional combatant command (Africa Command, or AFRICOM) in 2007. At the same time knowledge of the extent and aims of US military activities in Africa remains murky, especially when compared to other regions such as the Middle East and Europe. This article begins by conceptualising AFRICOM…
Ethno-Territoriality and Ethnic Conflict
Ethno‐territoriality is an increasingly invoked term by those doing research on nationalism and ethnic conflict. Despite this, it has not been subject to detailed definitional and conceptual examination. This article develops a conceptual framework for thinking about ethno‐territoriality and ethnic conflict. It begins by briefly describing the relationship between territoriality, state sovereignty, and nationalist politics. I then provide a defin…
Peacebuilding in Practice: Local Experience in Two Bosnian Towns
In November 2007 Adam Moore was conducting fieldwork in Mostar when the southern Bosnian city was rocked by two days of violent clashes between Croat and Bosniak youth. It was not the city's only experience of ethnic conflict in recent years. Indeed, Mostar’s problems are often cited as emblematic of the failure of international efforts to overcome deep divisions that continue to stymie the postwar peace process in Bosnia. Yet not all of Bosnia h…

Rethinking scale as a geographical category: From analysis to practice
In the past two decades human geographers have intensely theorized scale, and extended claims that it is a foundational element of geographic theory. Yet attendant with this move has been a growing concern that scale has become an unwieldy concept laden with multiple, contradictory and problematic meanings. I share that concern, and argue that a similar debate about the usefulness of `identity' as a conceptual category in social science offers in…
The Eventfulness of Social Reproduction
The work of William Sewell and Marshall Sahlins has led to a growing interest in recent years in events as a category of analysis and their role in the transformation of social structures. I argue that tying events solely to instances of significant structural transformation entails problematic theoretical assumptions about stability and change and produces a circumscribed field of events, undercutting the goal of developing an 'eventful' account…

Domain-general cognitive abilities and simultaneous interpreting skill
This exploratory study examined domain-general cognitive abilities that may serve as aptitudes for interpreting skill by comparing highly skilled sign language interpreters (those considered competent in most interpreting situations) and less skilled sign language interpreters (those considered less than competent in most interpreting situations) on various measures. Specifically, the current study examined the feasibility of predicting interpret…

Who Shalt Not Kill? Individual Differences in Working Memory Capacity, Executive Control, and Moral Judgment
Recent findings suggest that exerting executive control influences responses to moral dilemmas. In our study, subjects judged how morally appropriate it would be for them to kill one person to save others. They made these judgments in 24 dilemmas that systematically varied physical directness of killing, personal risk to the subject, inevitability of the death, and intentionality of the action. All four of these variables demonstrated main effect…
