What Multiple Theories Can Illuminate in Qualitative Research
Our aim in this paper is to help scholars better understand theory’s purpose in qualitative research, how it is employed in data analysis, and the strengths and limitations of the insights it can reveal. We do this by sharing our practice using multiple theories to make sense of a common data set in an advanced doctoral class focused on theory in qualitative research. For the class final project, students chose different theories to analyze one c…
‘Major Monsoon’ and the Tizona of Béjar: The provenance of a late medieval sword in the British Royal Collection
In a letter of Robert Southey, the first English translator of the Cantar de Mio Cid, appears a curious anecdote concerning the theft of the eponymous hero’s sword Tizona from the castle of Béjar during the Peninsular War. Contemporary memoirs identify the alleged culprit as Colonel William Mayne of the Loyal Lusitanian Legion, while suggesting a more benign interpretation of the episode. The actual weapon in question can be traced in records of …
Years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK)
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered faunal remains. A particularly intriguing aspect of the human remains is the evidence of butchery, …
“False Positives, Re-Entry Programs and Long Term English Learners”: Undoing Dichotomous Frames in U.S. Language Education Policy
At the core of contemporary U.S. language education policy is the dichotomous dividing of bilingual students into English Learners (ELs) who are entitled to extra support and non-ELs who are not entitled to this support. In this article, we genealogically trace the normative assumptions that go into this framing of the issue. We begin by examining the historical development of this dichotomous grouping of bilingual students within the remedial fr…
There is enough gold for all of us
A ‘Chinese’ Street (Un)Scripted and (Re)Imagined: Material Shifts, City-Making and Altered Ways of Living in Suburban Johannesburg
Derrick Avenue in Cyrildene, is a striking example of clichéd Chinese (street life) atmosphere in Johannesburg. Owing to its visible markers and demographics, this activity node sparks visions of a spatialised elsewhere. Standing in sharp contrast to a surrounding quiet and mostly residential neighbourhood, Derrick Avenue has been viewed as exceptional, different and closed, resulting in a spatial and cognitive divorce from the rest of the area. …

Wake up, This Is Joburg
A single image taken from a high-rise building in inner-city Johannesburg uncovers layers of history—from its premise and promise of gold to its current improvisations. It reveals the city as carcass and as crucible, where informal agents and processes spearhead its rapid reshaping and transformation. In Wake Up, This Is Joburg, writer Tanya Zack and photographer Mark Lewis offer a stunning portrait of Johannesburg and personal stories of some of…

Med venner i lys vi tale: John Wesleys og NFS Grundtvigs konvergerende teologier (‘With friends in the light we converse: The convergent theologies of John Wesley and N. F. S. Grundtvig’)
Students who have at some point in their academic careers ever signed up for a course in church history have most likely experienced a common exercise, often referred to as ‘a meeting of the minds’. It entails a kind of role play where prominent theologians from various points along the space-time continuum hypothetically converse around salient issues of faith and life. This form of role playing not only enables the student better to understand …
Prehistory of the British Isles: A Tale of Coming and Going
It is now recognised that Britain has not always been geographically isolated from Europe and, for most of the last one million years, formed an extension of the northwest European landmass. During most of this time, Britain was accessible to migrating humans and animals, although climatic conditions varied greatly from Mediterranean-like through to glaciations and extreme cold, making Britain a difficult place to settle for any length of time. T…

From truncated to sociopolitical emergence: A critique of super-diversity in sociolinguistics
Sociolinguists have always been leaders in advocating for the legitimacy of all language practices. Recently, sociolinguists have begun to question whether frameworks that have historically been used as part of this advocacy are adequate for describing the language practices that have emerged as part of contemporary globalization.

Manganese coating of the Tabun faunal assemblage: Implications for modern human behaviour in the Levantine Middle Palaeolithic
Volcanic ash layers illuminate the resilience of Neanderthals and early modern humans to natural hazards
Marked changes in human dispersal and development during the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition have been attributed to massive volcanic eruption and/or severe climatic deterioration. We test this concept using records of volcanic ash layers of the Campanian Ignimbrite eruption dated to ca. 40,000 y ago (40 ka B.P.). The distribution of the Campanian Ignimbrite has been enhanced by the discovery of cryptotephra deposits (volcanic ash layers t…

Army Transformation and the Junior Officer Exodus
This article examines the elevated rate of voluntary attrition from the junior officer corps of the United States Army between 1995 and 2001 to consider how it relates to the army's vision of the future. There was a conflict between the army's need for numbers of officers in the short term (to overcome the captain deficit) and its need for high-quality officers in the long term. Army transformation is predicated on the presence of mature, experie…

An Investigation of Worldmindedness, Satisfaction, and Commitment for Hirers of Foreign Student Exchanges
Sampson and Smith's Worldmindedness scale is a 32-item disagree-agree inventory designed to assess worldminded values in individuals. This procedure, developed and tested in the United States, has here been applied to a Canadian sample of 91 company hirers of foreign students and 21 company nonhirers of such. In doing so, the stability of previous findings for USA students and the reliability of the instrument have also been assessed. Also, using…

Warring States Political History
The two and a half centuries commonly known as the age of the Warring States (481–221 B.C.) witnessed the creation of the major political institutions that defined early imperial China. The old league of cities ruled by the Zhou nobility was replaced by a system of territorial states built around unchallenged monarchs who commanded a large number of dependent officials. These in turn were employed to register and mobilize the individual peasant h…
Morphological and taxonomic affinities of the Olduvai ulna (OH 36)
The OH 36 ulna derives from Upper Bed II in the Olduvai Gorge, and is dated to circa 1.1-1.2 Myr. Multivariate analyses incorporating data from samples of modern humans, common and pygmy chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and two other early hominin ulnae, Omo L40-19 and KNM-BK 66, suggest that OH 36 belonged to an individual with powerful forearms consistent with a locomotor repertoire that included arboreal locomotion. However, there is no comp…

The Sequence of the Human Genome
A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion bp DNA sequence was generated over 9 months from 27,271,853 high-quality sequence reads (5.11-fold coverage of the genome) from both ends of plasmid clones made from the DNA of five individuals. Two assembly strategies—a whole-genome assembly and a regional chromosome assembl…
