Evaluating the programme and behavior change theories of a community alcohol education intervention in rural Sri Lanka: A study protocol
Risky alcohol use is a major public health problem globally and in Sri Lanka. While a reduction in alcohol consumption can result in physical, mental, and social benefits, behaviour change is difficult to achieve. Effective, context-adapted interventions are required to minimise alcohol-related harm at a community level. THEATRE is a complex, community-based intervention evaluating whether a promising Sri Lankan pilot study that utilised arts-bas…
Photography, Humanitarianism, Empire
Focused on ‘the role of photography in shaping debates about Aboriginal Australians', Jane Lydon's work is fundamental to our visual-cultural history (xiii). Not only has she done the hard yards in the archive, as demonstrated by the vital Eye Contact (2005), but she has also worked with Indigenous scholars, elders and communities to produce meaningful 'bothways' accounts of Australian photographies, as in Calling the Shots (2014), which places e…
Tom Roberts: ‘End to a career – an old scrub-cutter’
Art history and exhibition making cannot escape time. It is a professional convention that every generation adjusts the canon, with individual artists reinterpreted in accordance with succeeding tastes and preoccupations. When I curated John Glover and the Colonial Picturesque for the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in 2003, it was almost thirty years after John McPhee’s Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery exhibition of 1974, and the show re-f…

The Gender Gap in Mathematics: Evidence from Chile
Using a large administrative data set from Chile, we find that on average boys perform better than girls in math. In this article, we document several features of boys versus girls’ relative performance in math. First, we note that the gender gap appears to increase with age (doubles between fourth grade and eighth grade). Second, we test whether commonly proposed explanations such as parental background and investments, unobserved ability, and c…

The Development of Strategic Thinking: Learning to Impact Human Systems in a Youth Activism Program
Human systems, including institutional systems and informal social networks, are a major arena of modern life. We argue that distinct forms of pragmatic reasoning or ’strategic thinking‘ are required to exercise agency withinsuch systems. This article explores the development of strategic thinking in a youth activism program in which young people worked for social change. These youth came to understand different human systems, the school board, t…

Farm Size and the Adoption of Rice Production Technologies in Taiwan
In this paper, we test a conventional predictive model of the diffusion of rice blasticides, using data from Taiwan. The model has modest predictive power, accounting for one third of the variation in adoption (R 2 = .334). The impact of farm size on the model is assessed under the assumption that it reflects the impact of social structural constraints on individual farmers. Except for the relationship between total production and adoption, farm …

Piri-Muridi in the Twin Cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan
Sufism, piri-muridi, in Pakistan is an overlooked aspect of Muslim religious experience. This article sheds light on how respondents of the Twin Cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan, relate to this overlooked aspect, and tries to situate changes to piri-muridi in a historical context. As this article finds, being orthodox does not necessarily hinder adherence to piri-muridi. Rather, people of all sects, and even non-Muslims, regularly att…
