Reckoning with Slavery
A systematic review of household energy transition in low and middle income countries
Facing the Realities of Pragmatic Design Choices in Environmental Health Studies
Objective: Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) investigators tested a complex, non-pharmacological intervention in four low- and middle-income countries as a strategy to mitigate household air pollution and improve health outcomes across the lifespan. Intervention households received a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove, continuous fuel delivery and regular behavioral reinforcements for 18 months, whereas controls were asked to …
Freedom's Captives
Colombia’s Pacific coast, especially the present-day Chocó Department, is often deemed a peripheral region. It is, to use Oslender’s phrase, an aquatic space, defined by mangroves, small rivers flowing through tropical forests to the Pacific, the Atrato river draining into the Gulf of Urabá on the Caribbean Coast, and extraordinary levels of rain.1 By centering the lives of the Black people of this region in the first half of the nineteenth centu…
Developing Visual Messages to Support Liquefied Petroleum Gas Use in Intervention Homes in the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (Hapin) Trial in Rural Guatemala
BACKGROUND: Household air pollution adversely affects human health and the environment, yet more than 40% of the world still depends on solid cooking fuels. The House Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) randomized controlled trial is assessing the health effects of a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove and 18-month supply of free fuel in 3,200 households in rural Guatemala, India, Peru, and Rwanda. AIMS: We conducted formative research in …
Aligning evidence generation and use across health, development, and environment
Although health, development, and environment challenges are interconnected, evidence remains fractured across sectors due to methodological and conceptual differences in research and practice. Aligned methods are needed to support Sustainable Development Goal advances and similar agendas. The Bridge Collaborative, an emergent research-practice collaboration, presents principles and recommendations that help harmonize methods for evidence generat…
Clean cooking and the SDGs
Development and implementation of clean cooking technology for households in low and middle income countries (LMICs) offer enormous promise to advance at least five Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 3. Good health and well-being; 5. Gender equality; 7. Affordable and clean energy; 13. Climate action; 15. Life on land. Programs are being implemented around the world to introduce alternative cooking technologies, and we are well on the way to a…
Conditional Clemency after the Golpe de Melo of 1854
This article examines indultos after the Golpe de Melo of 1854. While the government hoped that these acts of clemency would erase all traces of the rebellion, a flood of appeals for indultos ensured that the post-war reckoning went on longer than the war itself. Drawing on archival and published material documenting this phenomenon, the article documents post-war politics in New Granada. The tension between popular ideals concerning pardonable b…
Gilberto Enrique Parada García. Ley formal y ley material. La ley penal y su codificación en la construcción del Estado colombiano, 1819-1837
Even within the historiographical lacunae that exists for the years between the Independence and the Regeneration, the two decades between Bolívar’s final military triumphs in Gran Colombia and the War of the Supremes are understudied. Thus, Gilberto Enrique Parada García’s examination of the law and the development of the New Granada legal code during these years is a much needed study on politics and public life at the beginning of the republic…
Corrupción
The author or editor of over 30 books on various topics, Hermes Tovar Pinzón is best known for his pioneering work on Colombia's economic and statistical history and his ability to integrate such perspectives into social history. But with the publication of La batalla de los sentidos: Infidelidad, adulterio y concubinato a finales de la colonia in 2004, he made clear that, although he had not abandoned archival work or the power of quantitative a…
Joint China-US Call for Employing a Transdisciplinary Approach to Emerging Infectious Diseases
In the spring of 2013, a newly pathogenic H7N9 influenza virus emerged in people in China, likely associated with wild and domestic birds (Kageyama et al. 2013). Marking the exact scenario that public health experts had feared—people were being infected, getting sick, and dying without the source of the virus being rapidly and definitively identified. In the absence of a clear understanding of the mode of transmission, early control of this epide…

The Tyranny of Opinion
Climate Change and the Geographic Distribution of Infectious Diseases
Our ability to predict the effects of climate change on the spread of infectious diseases is in its infancy. Numerous, and in some cases conflicting, predictions have been developed, principally based on models of biological processes or mapping of current and historical disease statistics. Current debates on whether climate change, relative to socioeconomic determinants, will be a major influence on human disease distributions are useful to help…

The Hidden History of Capoeira
As capoeira erases the dichotomy between dance and martial art and its history unites stories of resistance and appropriation, Maya Talmon-Chvaicer has written across disciplinary divides to elucidate the history and meaning of this “battle dance” as a product of Central African, Yoruba, and “Catholic Portuguese” culture. She brings her concerns as a devotee to the art and a trained historian with an ethnographic eye to this inquiry into the art’…
