  • The British POW experience in Hong Kong and Oeyama, Japan: The memoirs of Frank Evans (1917–1996) and Joseph Henry Newman (1914–2002)

    Open AccessMark NewmanARTICLEWar & Society2025

    Exceptionally among British enlisted men held captive in Hong Kong and Japan during the Second World War, Evans and Newman wrote post-war memoirs about their captivity in both places, mostly in the same camps, enabling a direct comparison between them. Their endurance suggests that although acceptance, resilience, self-discipline, focusing on the present, and maintaining hope were crucial, survival greatly depended on luck and chance and uncontro…

  • “Racial Discrimination Can in No Way Be Justified”: The Vatican and Desegregation in the South, 1946–1968

    Open AccessMark NewmanARTICLEJournal of American Studies2022

    Although the Vatican pragmatically accepted the establishment of segregated Catholic institutions in the Jim Crow South during the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, its condemnation of Nazi and fascist racism and espousal of the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ rejected racial distinctions. This article argues that Rome's postwar transnational interest in countering international communism and appealing to the gl…

  • The Catholic Way: The Catholic Diocese of Dallas and Desegregation, 1945–1971

    Mark NewmanARTICLEJournal of American Ethnic History2022References: 7

    Neglected in the many studies of Dallas, Bishop Thomas K. Gorman and Catholic religious orders that staffed schools and churches in the Diocese of Dallas led the way in desegregation and achieved peaceful change ahead of secular institutions. Gorman and religious orders formulated, supported, and implemented desegregation policies without fanfare or publicity that might divide Catholics and arouse segregationist opposition from within and/or outs…

    An individual's physical activity substantially impacts the potential for prevention and recovery from diverse health issues, including cardiovascular diseases. Precise quantification of a patient's level of day-to-day physical activity, which can be characterized by the type, intensity, and duration of movement, is crucial for clinicians. Walking is a primary and fundamental physical activity for most individuals. Walking speed has been shown to…

  • One in Christ: Chicago Catholics and the Quest for Interracial Justice

    Open AccessMark NewmanARTICLEJournal of American History2019

    In One in Christ Karen J. Johnson explores the efforts of African American and white Catholic laity in Chicago, sometimes with clergy support but often against clerical opposition, to challenge racism within and outside the Catholic Church. Johnson argues that the doctrine of the mystical body of Christ, which “emphasized humanity's unity,” inspired and sustained Catholic interracial activists who “popularized the doctrine” and identified their e…

  • What Designers Talk About When They Talk About Context

    Jared S Bauer, Mark Newman et al.ARTICLEHuman-Computer Interaction2014

    Context has long been considered an important component of design, but as technology becomes more capable of inferring the user's behavior and environment, what constitutes context has become an increasingly pressing concern to designers. Although design frameworks and models have been proposed for context-aware computing systems, there has not yet been research that focuses on understanding context empirically from the perspective of the designe…

  • Rapid evidence assessments of research to inform social policy: Taking stock and moving forward

    James Thomas, Mark Newman et al.ARTICLEEvidence & Policy2013Cited by: 7References: 2

    There is a tension between conducting comprehensive systematic reviews and completing them in time to meet policy-making deadlines. The ‘rapid evidence assessment’ has been proposed as a solution to this; offering rigorous reviews in a condensed timescale. While used frequently in healthcare, this mode of reviewing presents considerable challenges in social policy. We describe some potential problems and suggest reviewing strategies that can over…

  • The Structure and Dynamics of Networks

    Mark Newman, Albert-László Barabási et al.BOOKStructure and Dynamics of Networks2011Cited by: 88

    From the Internet to networks of friendship, disease transmission, and even terrorism, the concept--and the reality--of networks has come to pervade modern society. But what exactly is a network? What different types of networks are there? Why are they interesting, and what can they tell us? In recent years, scientists from a range of fields--including mathematics, physics, computer science, sociology, and biology--have been pursuing these questi…

  • Burning Faith: Church Arson in the American South

    Mark Newman, Christopher B StrainARTICLEJournal of American History2009

    In a book “part history, part mystery, and part investigative journalism,” Christopher B. Strain attributes a marked increase in American church arson in the 1990s to “an absence of community” resulting from the “disappearance of civility” and lack of a “sense of connectedness” (pp. xii, xiii, xiv). Influenced analytically by Robert D. Putnam's Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community (2000), Strain chooses as primary sources…
