Innovating military suicide prevention
Military suicide remains an urgent global concern, with Service members facing unique stressors including frequent relocations, postings to remote and regional locations where there is a lack of external facilities, reduced social connections, extended family separations, and operational demands that heighten psychological strain. In 2021, the Australian Department of Defence (Defence) partnered with SafeSide Prevention to enhance its Suicide Pre…
The effect of freshwater regulation on farmland values in New Zealand – ‘Dairy farming in Selwyn Waihora, Canterbury’
The intensity at which rural land is producing consumable goods has, over the last century, increased to meet the demand of growing world populations, and been enabled by advancing technology. For the land to produce more from a fixed resource, more nutrients have been applied, and the surpluses are finding their way into waterways. This generates undesirable consequences for the environment. Policymakers have acted by implementing regulation tha…
The Weight of Whiteness
“Check your privilege” is not a request for a simple favor. It asks white people to consider the painful dimensions of what they have been socialized to ignore. Alison Bailey’s The Weight of Whiteness: A Feminist Engagement with Privilege, Race, and Ignorance examines how whiteness misshapes our humanity, measuring the weight of whiteness in terms of its costs and losses to collective humanity. People of color feel the weight of whiteness daily. …
On Gaslighting and Epistemic Injustice
Social justice demands that we attend carefully to the epistemic terrains we inhabit as well as to the epistemic resources we summon to make our lived experiences tangible to one another. Not all epistemic terrains are hospitable—colonial projects landscaped a good portion of our epistemic terrain long before present generations moved across it. There is no shared epistemic terra firma, no level epistemic common ground where knowers share credibi…
European farmers’ incentives to promote natural pest control service in arable fields
Tracking Privilege‐Preserving Epistemic Pushback in Feminist and Critical Race Philosophy Classes
Classrooms are unlevel knowing fields, contested terrains where knowledge and ignorance are produced and circulate with equal vigor, and where members of dominant groups are accustomed to having an epistemic home‐terrain advantage. My project focuses on one form of resistance that regularly surfaces in discussions with social‐justice content. Privilege‐preserving epistemic pushback is a variety of willful ignorance that many members of dominant g…
Fatalism Moderates the Relationship Between Family History of Cardiovascular Disease and Engagement in Health‐Promoting Behaviors Among At‐Risk Rural Kentuckians
PURPOSE: In rural communities that experience high rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality, family history education may enhance risk awareness and support engagement in healthy behaviors but could also engender fatalism. This study was conducted to assess if the relationship between family history and adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviors is moderated by fatalism. METHODS: Baseline data were obtained from 1,027 adult par…

An investigation into the effect of play-based instruction on the development of play skills and oral language
The current study investigated the influence of a play-based curriculum on the development of pretend play skills and oral language in children attending their first year of formal schooling. In this quasi-experimental design, two groups of children were followed longitudinally across the first 6 months of their first year at school. The children in the experimental group were attending a school with a play-based curriculum; the children in the c…
Uptake of agri-environmental schemes in the Less-Favoured Areas of Greece
An industry viewpoint on the role of farm assurance in delivering food safety to the consumer
Empirical Test of an Agricultural Landscape Model
Developing models to predict the effects of social and economic change on agricultural landscapes is an important challenge. Model development often involves making decisions about which aspects of the system require detailed description and which are reasonably insensitive to the assumptions. However, important components of the system are often left out because parameter estimates are unavailable. In particular, measurements of the relative inf…
Rural Appalachian Perspectives on Heart Health
Comprehensive intervention guided by a social ecological framework is needed to address CVD risk reduction in Appalachian Kentucky communities
Determining the cost of in-field mitigation options to reduce sediment and phosphorus loss
Evaluation of field wetlands for mitigation of diffuse pollution from agriculture
Reconceiving Surrogacy
My project here is to argue for situating moral judgments about Indian surrogacy in the context of Reproductive Justice. I begin by crafting the best picture of Indian surrogacy available to me while marking some worries I have about discursive colonialism and epistemic honesty. Western feminists' responses to contract pregnancy fall loosely into two interrelated moments: post‐Baby M discussions that focus on the morality of surrogacy work in Wes…
On White Shame and Vulnerability
In this paper I address a tension in Vice’s claim that humility and silence offer effective moral responses to white shame. Vice describes these twin virtues using inward-turning language of moral self-repair, but she also acknowledges that this ‘personal, inward directed project’ has relational dimensions. Her failure to explore the relational strand, however, leaves her description of white shame sounding solitary and penitent. My response deve…
The Reproduction of Whiteness
Historically critical reflection on whiteness in the United States has been a long-standing practice in slave folklore and in Mexican resistance to colonial-ism, Asian American struggles against exploitation and containment, and Native American stories of contact with European colonizers. Drawing from this legacy and from the disturbing silence on “whiteness ” in postsecondary institutions, critical whiteness scholarship has emerged in the past t…

Privilege
This essay serves as both a response and embellishment of Marilyn Frye's now classic essay Oppression. It is meant to pick up where this essay left off and to make connections between oppression, as Frye defines it, and the privileges that result from institutional structures. This essay tries to clarify one meaning of privilege that is lost in philosophical discussions of injustice. I develop a distinction between unearned privileges and earned …
Locating Traitorous Identities
I address the problem of how to locate “traitorous” subjects, or those who belong to dominant groups yet resist the usual assumptions and practices of those groups. I argue that Sandra Harding's description of traitors as insiders, who “become marginal” is misleading. Crafting a distinction between “privilege-cognizant” and “privilege-evasive” white scripts, I offer an alternative account of race traitors as privilege-cognizant whites who refuse …

Mothering, Diversity, and Peace Politics
The most popular uniting theme in feminist peace literature grounds women's peace work in mothering. I argue if maternal arguments do not address the variety of relationships different races and classes of mothers have to institutional violence and/or the military, then the resulting peace politics can only draw incomplete conclusions about the relationships between maternal work/thinking and peace. To illustrate this I compare two models of moth…
