    Open AccessRobin Wright, Paul S CasamassimoARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2017

    More pediatric dentists stated they offer childhood obesity interventions than in previous surveys reporting 6 percent, but respondents suggested that a child's weight is seen as a medical rather than dental issue.

    Robin Wright, Ramona Alaggia et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Service Research2014Cited by: 4References: 17

    Semistructured follow-up interviews were conducted with 32 Canadian youth ages 14 to 20 years old; 5 years prior, these youth had participated in a structured arts program. Given that little is known about the long-term effects of afterschool arts-based programs, interviews took a qualitative approach to delineate adolescents’ experiences with the program and their subsequent development. The findings from the qualitative interviews suggest that …

  • In Darkness and Secrecy: The Anthropology of Assault Sorcery and Witchcraft in Amazonia

    Strathern Andrew, Fausto Carlos et al.BOOKIn Darkness and Secrecy2004Cited by: 42References: 15

    In Darkness and Secrecy brings together ethnographic examinations of Amazonian assault sorcery, witchcraft, and injurious magic, or “dark shamanism.” Anthropological reflections on South American shamanism have tended to emphasize shamans’ healing powers and positive influence. This collection challenges that assumption by showing that dark shamans are, in many Amazonian cultures, quite different from shamanic healers and prophets. Assault sorcer…

  • Iran's New Revolution

    Robin WrightARTICLEForeign Affairs2000Cited by: 1

    A generation after it seized power, Iran's revolutionary regime is deeply troubled: fractured by intense political divisions, endangered by economic disorder, discredited by rampant corruption, and smothered in social restrictions no longer acceptable to large sectors of its changing population. To the outside world the Islamic Repub lic of Iran often appears to be at a precipice, its unique theocratic government on the verge of imploding from in…

Nine of the twenty-two lines that appeared on June 1, 1993, in the Des Moines Register reported on demographics about these relatives. Between the middle and last name was inserted, in quotation marks, the word Wolfman. The informat…
