Du Bois on sociology, double consciousness and imagination
This article explores Du Bois’ specific understanding of Sociology, arguing that he utilized and developed a specific form of active imagining. Du Bois’ use of imagination is a process of reimagining, grounded in his experience of racialized modernity. He uses sociological narratives to redirect the imaginations of his audiences by teaching them to see what they have been trained to ignore. Simultaneously, he develops and deploys ways of thinking…
Examining the effectiveness and economic benefits of home fire safety visits
Home safety visits form an important part of fire prevention strategies adopted by fire and rescue services. However, to date, limited research focus has been directed toward examining whether this prevention activity is effective in achieving the aim of reducing accidental dwelling fires (ADFs) or the social and economic value of this. Accordingly, focusing on one region of England (Merseyside), the following study adopts outcome evaluation and …
Reading the Sensual in James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room
In The Fire Next Time, African American writer James Baldwin describes the sensual as, “respect[ing] and rejoice[ing] in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of bread” (1998c 311). Baldwinian sensuality is divorced from its hedonistic interpretation, instead expressing a form of knowledge and a practice of living in openness to each other and the complexity of our hum…
Distinguishing Cyberattacks by Difficulty
Some discussions of cyberattacks paint them broadly as low cost and widely available, failing to distinguish cyberattacks by difficulty. However, as the literature has long recognized, cyberattacks are not all alike. The most sophisticated attacks require greater capabilities, including noncyber capabilities, that are commanded by only by a handful of states. Assessment of the difficulty of cyberattacks therefore requires a broader view of a cybe…
Spaghetti
In the mid-2000s, the United States Army was embroiled in counterinsurgency missions in Iraq and Afghanistan that required deeper understanding of local social systems. The Army turned to systems thinking and design thinking to model and understand the world, define problems, and develop approaches to strategic and operational challenges. However, the Army’s approach as expressed in publications and doctrine encourages the development of complica…

Can the World Bank Enforce its Own Conditions
In the 1980s, the World Bank stepped up policy-based lending, making loans conditional on government policy and institutional reforms in the borrower country. In 2002, policy-based lending (or adjustment loans) accounted for 64 per cent of total commitments. Some critics have argued that conditionality has failed because borrowers do not comply with conditions, and that borrowers do not comply because donors do not enforce the conditions, due to …
Getting Debt Relief Right
Today 41 of the world's poorest are bankrupt. These nations, identified by the World Bank as heavily indebted poor countries (hipcs), owe some $170 billion to foreign creditors, while half of their 600 million citizens get by on less than $1 a day. Nine often hipcs cannot sustain their debts, given their low export earnings and GNPs. Unless some of this debt is forgiven, they will be paying in perpetuity. Their creditors, on the other hand, inclu…
