Digital Identity, Datafication and Epidermalisation in Mae La Refugee Camp
Biometric cash transfers are becoming ubiquitous in the aid sector driven by donor demands for audit and cost efficiencies and as humanitarian organisations turn to technological solutions to address complex logistical challenges. What is often overlooked is the perspective of refugees themselves. Drawing on a mixed-methods study including 80 interviews and participatory action research, our paper examines biometric cash transfers as exemplars of…
Drawing beyond silence
Exploring the everyday lives of encamped refugees presents ethnographers with a delicate task. While semi-structured interviews and participant observations are valuable, they have limits. I argue that, as researchers, we must keep exploring alternative approaches to ensure we engage with our participants in ways that work best for them. I contend that participant drawing is not simply a complementary method to interviews but a form of knowledge-…
Right to Work or Right to Vote? Labor Policy and American Democracy
There is growing attention to the role of organized labor in maintaining and expanding democratic institutions in the United States. In this article, we investigate the effect of right-to-work laws on electoral democracy in the states. We theorize a series of mechanisms by which labor unions contribute to the maintenance and expansion of democratic institutions, including contributing money to campaigns and influencing the electorate. Right-to-wo…
Predictors of recovery in a medium secure service
BACKGROUND: Research to date has failed to examine the effectiveness of MSUs in facilitating recovery, or the influence that mental health policy may have on this process. Examining predictors of short-term clinical outcomes during inpatient admission and the effects of policy changes may inform future policy, treatment planning and may improve service user outcomes. AIMS: To examine whether service user admission characteristics and length of st…
Age-group identity and political participation
In many ways, American democracy seems to work better for older citizens than younger citizens, and one explanation is that young adults vote at much lower rates than their older counterparts. Yet while the existence of the age gap in turnout is well established, there remains uncertainty as to what drives it. In this paper, we explore age as a potentially important group identity and evaluate whether strength of age-group identity predicts polit…
Physical immobility and virtual mobility
This article reflects on how offline and online everyday life coexists for encamped, young Karen living in protracted displacement. As part of the special issue ‘Cultures of (im)mobile entanglements’, edited by Earvin Cabalquinto and Koen Leurs, I centre the voices of young Karen living in Mae La refugee camp in Thailand and unpack how personal and social relationships are built and maintained physically in the camp, as well as in digitally media…
Which States Adopt Election-Subversion Policies
Research highlights a growing divergence among U.S. states in their costs of voting, the partisan balance of their legislative districts, and the responsiveness of state policy to public opinion. Less is known, however, about a new and acute threat to democracy at the state level: policies that increase the states' vulnerability to election subversion. In this article, we investigate recent trends in state legislation that transfer election admin…
Rock the Registration
Studies find that same day registration (SDR) laws increase turnout, but less is known about which kinds of voters are most affected. Young people are disproportionately burdened by traditional registration laws because they frequently change addresses and infrequently interact with government agencies providing registration services. SDR laws, which lower the cost of registration, should increase turnout most among young people. Laws that lower …
Poetic resistance
This article investigates a concern among encamped elder Karen refugees (an ethnic minority from Myanmar) living along the Thai–Myanmar border that the youth are disconnected politically and culturally. I argue that Karen youth are creative, active participants reimagining and revitalising Karen politics and culture in their image. I explore how displaced youths have found a voice in Karen rap and how they express this voice in the digitally medi…
All-mail voting in Colorado increases turnout and reduces turnout inequality
Weight gain in secure psychiatric settings
III. Fusion and Conflict in Lesbian Relationships
Great Britain and the Saar Plebiscite of 13 January 1935
The Saar Basin, 730 square miles with a population in excess of 800,000, was uniformly German in race, speech, traditions and culture. The traces of French civilization imposed on the area during the Great Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century had all but disappeared before the advent of the first world war. Yet the French Government, determined on compensation for the heavy losses during the fighting, eyed the region keenly as the sour…
