Souls shaped by our land – how rural communities have adapted infant mental health services to meet the needs of their population
There is an acceptance of the need for specialist infant mental health services in Scotland, with the Scottish Government pledging to support health boards in delivering expert care. To date, there is no available research on rural infant mental health services in Scotland. The authors of this paper conducted a systematic review of published literature about infant mental health services in rural communities, the results of which may be applicabl…
Political Trust and Democracy
Rising polarization, disinformation, and populist anti-system movements have contributed to a state of uncertainty for democracy. Some scholars suggest that many countries are experiencing democratic backsliding and declining public support for democracy, while others argue these trends are overstated or mismeasured. Alongside this debate, political trust is being examined with increasing concern, with cross-national research among democracies si…
International Canadian Studies
More than 10 years after the Government of Canada ended its support for the “Understanding Canada” program, international Canadianists have continued to contribute to teaching and conducting research on Canada. During this time, Canadian society has faced significant challenges, including the calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and academic debates have questioned the relevance of Canadian Studies as a field of…
Making Uncommon Sense of Laudable Research
In Australia, research resourcing might come from parties dedicated to addressing issues in the public interest, such as smoking cessation and alcohol regulation. The associations researchers have with those parties are regarded in quite different terms than, say, a research relationship that is forged with the tobacco or alcohol industries themselves. Agreeing to work with the latter ‘bad’ players would indubitably raise the liveliest of suspici…

Using the candidacy framework to conceptualize systems and gaps when developing infant mental health (IMH) services
The development of infant mental health (IMH) services globally is still in its early stages. This qualitative study aims to understand the challenges of setting up IMH services and explores the views and experiences of 14 multi‐disciplinary stakeholders who are part of the IMH implementation group in a large Scottish health board. Six major themes were identified through thematic analysis. This paper examines the most prominent theme “Systems” a…
Good organizational practices to encourage women high-performance coaches in sports
Women play a vital role in professional sport on and off the field. Globally, the dearth of women high-performance coaches in sport is a concern. For example, in Australia women represent 15% of high-performance coaches. One reason could be due to the lack of knowledge on good organizational practices that encourage women in this role and the overwhelming knowledge of practices focused on barriers for women high-performance coaches. The purpose o…
Management of alcohol and other drug issues in Special Health Accommodation during the Covid ‐19 Delta variant outbreak in Sydney, 2021
In response to community transmission of COVID-19 Delta Variant in New South Wales (NSW), patients were admitted to Special Health Accommodation (SHA) with often complex psychosocial and medical needs including addiction. SHA functioned as a subacute hospital in repurposed apartment blocks and provided integrated health care to people with COVID-19 or close contacts, if otherwise unable to isolate [1]. We reviewed the outcomes of patients who rec…

The Dislocation of Identity
This chapter explores the construction, use and contestation of community by the participants in a club for the elderly residents of a former coalmining town. Throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s coal-mining communities came to constitute a major obsession of scholars concerned with the study of the British working class. This was perhaps unsurprising. The history of British coal-mining is a history of industrial action. The vision of mining peo…
Migrants of Identity
Global movement is commonly characterized as one of the quintessential experiences of our age. Market forces, territorial conflicts and environmental changes uproot an increasing number of people, while mass communication, travel, tourism, and a global market of commodities, texts, tastes, fashions and ideologies place individuals more than ever in a global arena. As traditional conceptions of individuals as members of stationary, fixed and separ…
Migrants of Identity
Home and Movement
Quite a long time ago now, Gregory Bateson put it like this: the human brain thinks in terms of relationships. Things and events are secondary, epiphenomena: 'all knowledge of external events is derived from the relationship between them': from the relationships that the brain conceives between them. Even if the actors were nomads, their myths were regarded anthropologically as making of the environment through which they passed a known place, an…
The Topic and the Book
'Migrants of identity' was the phrase that Theodore Schwartz used in the mid-1970s to describe the continual search by American youth for an identity that they found 'acceptable and authentic'. Individual identity was always and everywhere dynamic, Schwartz suggested, always something 'problematic', something calling for a resolution that was never wholly acquired, because it was through the search that the individual per se came to be defined. A…
Workplace Intimacy
Amidst massive economic damage tension between the needs to save lives and save jobs has become the basis of a key political fault-line and a matter of daily on-the-ground management during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article we consider four especially salient changes to work-life wrought by the pandemic: (1) new workplace praxes pertaining to matters of touch; (2) erosion and degrading of the quality of erstwhile intimate relations in certai…
Ruined beings
In this article I consider what sense it makes to speak of a hybrid automobile ontology in contexts where its constitutive elements – driver, car and traffic system – are ruins. Then, on the basis of passenger-seat ethnography conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I explore the consequences of the oxymoronic quality of these ruins, which as ‘remains’ both endure and decay, for experiences and senses of being among drivers living under conditions o…
Identifying Predictors of University Students’ Wellbeing during the Covid-19 Pandemic—A Data-Driven Approach
To cost-effectively support student wellbeing through 2021 and beyond, universities should consider investing in internet- and tele- based interventions explicitly targeting perceived social isolation among students. Course-based online forums as well as internet- and tele-based logotherapy may be promising candidates for improving students' psychological wellbeing
A chip off the (im)moral block? Lay beliefs about genetic heritability predicts whether family members’ actions affect self‐judgments
The idea of heritability may have consequences for individuals’ sense of self by connecting identity to the actions of others who happen to share genetic ties. Across seven experimental studies (total N = 2,628), recalling morally bad or good actions by family members influenced individuals’ moral self among those who endorse a lay belief that moral character is genetically heritable, but not among those who did not endorse this belief (Study 1–5…

Migration, Exile and Landscapes of the Imagination
This chapter discusses situations in which migration and exile informs constructions of place and locality. Writing on migration and exile has thus far primarily focused on the experiences of those living in exile, i.e. individuals or groups who have either left their ‘home’ and/or those who see themselves as living in a state of separation from their ‘home’. The restaurant was in fact part of the family home, with guests served on the verandah s…
Microbial Intimacy
In this article, we highlight how COVID-19 has transformed, is transforming and may transform into the future human intimacies. This, we argue, is an appropriate focus for anthropological investigation particularly. We posit a scaler approach to the anthropological study of the transformation of intimacy in COVID-19, embracing multiple levels from human relations with microbes through to human relations with deities. Furthermore, we offer example…
Covid-19 and the Transformation of Intimate Inter- and Intra-National Relations
Based conceptually on Michael Herzfeld’s ideas of cultural intimacy and disemia, and empirically on lockdown auto-ethnography, this article considers how erstwhile intimate inter-and intra-national relations have been transformed by COVID-19. Its particular ethnographic focus is Australian–British post-colonial relations and the personal emergence of a hybrid Br-Australian consciousness
Disaster nativism
For the farming and tourism town of Anonyton that we research,1 2020 has been the year of disasters. The bushfires that led to loss of life and the COVID‐19 pandemic that threatens to do so again engender contrasting responses. Community was celebrated as the means by which local people survived and would be able to reconstruct their town in the fire’s aftermath. Overt coming together was, however, simultaneously undermined as locals blamed one a…
Social Intimacy
In this article, we highlight how COVID-19 has transformed, is transforming and may transform into the future human intimacies at several different social levels: between couples, within and between families, between citizens and states, among nations, and between people and their deities. We conclude by highlighting an uncertain future for intimacies that may entail the radical transformation of societies characterised by conversely new and libe…
Experiential Knowledge Affects the Visual Search Behaviors of Sprint Coaches and Sport Biomechanists
It is common for applied sport biomechanists and high-performance coaches to work closely together. A feature of this relationship is that both bring unique experiences and knowledge to the common goal of improving an athlete's performance. For sprint running, coaches and biomechanists place importance on different aspects of technique. The purpose of this paper was to determine if these differences in experiential knowledge impact coaches and bi…

Driven to sanity
This article reviews critically approaches to embodiment and the senses in contemporary automobilities research, highlighting particularly their critical representation of sensory disengagement in driving. In contrast, through passenger‐seat ethnography conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the article explores the roles of sensory engagement in driving in ameliorating post‐socialist and post‐war unease concerning namely identification, mistrust, …
State capacity and the political economy of child mortality in developing countries revisited
The capacity of the state to promote the rule of law is identified as a factor that potentially affects child mortality via causal mechanisms independent of the fiscal sociology aspect of state capacity — state size. Two potential causal mechanisms are proposed through which the rule of law may affect child mortality: by improving market efficiency and supporting civil society. As an initial test of these propositions, a cross-national time serie…
Why Marx Was a Bad Driver
Contemporary automobilities research is characterised by a fundamental paradox-recognition of driving as a sensate experience alongside a tendency to emphasise the driver’s sensory disengagement from, rather than engagement with the bodily, social and environmental contexts with which s/he interacts. In this article, which builds on previous empirical work I have published, only now in a more theoretical and comparative directions, I undertake th…
From Glittering Icon to
Several studies have been made of the so-called ssocialist city', most of which have been concerned primarily with the spatial arrangement and functioning of cities in centrally planned economies. Geographical analysis of the symbolism of the landscape of the socialist city has, in contrast, been limited. Similarly, several geographers have commented on the changes which have been occurring to the cities of Central and Eastern Europe since the fa…
Education and Ethnic Violence
Recognizing the limited body of empirical work analyzing the impact of education on ethnic violence, this article reviews different perspectives and provides an initial test of competing views. Through a cross-national time-series analysis, the article finds that three indicators of education are positively and significantly related to ethnic violence but that ethnically diverse and nonwealthy countries drive the results. The findings oppose popu…

Positionality and role-identity in a new religious context
This article reflects upon the participant observational method in light of fieldwork undertaken in the Amazonian community of Mapiá. Mapiá is the spiritual headquarters of the largest branch of the Brazilian new religious movement of Santo Daime. Noting how my ritual participation gave rise to the ascription of a qualified insider identity, the following explores how variations in the identity ascribed to me (viz. ‘provisional insider’, ‘potenti…

The Belief in State Legitimacy and Homicide
This study examines whether perceived state legitimacy contributes to the variation in the level of homicide across countries. I perform a statistical test of this relationship by creating a new cross-national time series data set of 86 countries. The analysis suggests a strong, negative, and robust relationship between widespread belief in state legitimacy and the homicide rate, controlling for the level of democracy and other relevant variables…

Post-fordist death
Building on work on post-Fordist affect, we argue that the group-based and person-centred forms of production in mining and milling respectively produce contingent conceptualisations of culture, identity and personhood and, in turn, of dying and death. The 'communal solidarism' characteristic of post-mining milieu engenders senses of dying and death entailing a communal merging of erstwhile individual selfhoods. In post-milling milieu dying and d…

Multiautoculturalism
Based empirically on a netnography of public forums related to news articles about car–bike conflicts and accidents on Melbourne’s roads, this article takes classic anthropological and sociological theory on ethnicity and mobility, respectively, into the new territory of explaining the mutual perceptions of drivers and cyclists. Furthermore, moving from ethnicity, we invoke multiculturalism in its senses as a descriptor for ethnic pluralism, a di…
Police Legitimacy and Homicide
This study tests the claim that police legitimacy affects the prevalence of homicide. Using a cross-national time-series dataset of 100 countries, I conduct a statistical analysis of the association between the extent to which the public perceives the police as legitimate and the homicide rate. The analysis suggests that police legitimacy has a substantial, negative association with homicide rates, consistent across different sources of homicide …
Life’s end
In this introduction to the special issue, Life's End: Ethnographic Perspectives, we review the field of anthropological studies of death and dying. We make the argument that, largely because of its sub-disciplining into the larger field of the anthropology of religion, ritual and symbolism, the focus of anthropological research on death has been predominantly on post- rather than pre-death events, on death's beginnings rather than life's ends. A…
Religion, Globalization and Modernity
Three aspects of the globalization – religion relationship are explored by this article. These three aspects are: growing religious diversity (as a macro-structural phenomenon); increasing organizational differentiation (as a mid-range institutional dynamic); and enhanced subjectivized religiosity (as a micro-social process). Discussion of these aspects is theoretically informed by the concept of ‘globalizing modernity’ which regards the networks…

The Social and Communal Aspects of Urban Spirituality
With reference to the urban context and the pastoral method of See-Judge-Act, this article explores the social and communal aspects of Christian spirituality.

The contribution of See-Judge-Act to the development of an urban spirituality is further explo…

The problem with asylum-seeker dispersal
Based on research in Hull, this article considers whether initial failings of national dispersal policy were merely transitional. Declining rates of ‘drift’, whereby asylum seekers voluntarily leave dispersal sites, suggests that this may be so. However, I argue that dispersal policy is unlikely to work in places like Hull that are relatively economically depressed and ‘monocultural’. The best that can be hoped for is that asylum-seekers experien…
New World, New Politics, New Labour
Tony Blair's vision of a ‘third way’ political programme is formative of New Labour's second term revisionism, claiming to transcend traditional left-right distinctions and embody the principles of ‘equal worth’, ‘opportunity for all’, ‘responsibility’ and ‘community’. Drawing upon a variety of sources, Anthony Giddens among them, the following material sketches the lineaments of the ‘third way’ agenda Having identified its political aspirations …
