Churchill and Chartwell
This special issue paper highlights the role of Chartwell – the country house purchased by Winston Churchill in 1922 – as a site of informal diplomacy. During the decade of his ‘wilderness years’ (1929–39), Churchill used Chartwell as a site to both cultivate and deploy international contacts. As the paper shows, these encounters could serve a variety of purposes for, from gaining information on ongoing international developments to exercising po…
From The Fresh Prince to The Politician
Television has the potential to be a vector for mainstream audiences to learn about climate change and feel motivated to act. Comedic framings of climate change, while well-studied in television news and late-night comedies, remain under-explored in scripted television comedies. The goal of this study was to use frame analysis to understand temporal trends in climate comedy and analyze how the framing of climate change in comedy impacts action. I…
Climate change summit
Climate change decision-making happens at the intersection of knowledge, values, and experience, usually requiring action with incomplete information.

Snapshots of History and Life in Cape Verde
The streets of Cape Verde are filled with people talking, working, and playing. Children shoot marbles and wind strings around their hands, women swap gossip and news, and men deal cards and drink beer. Even a quick glance at Cape Verde, however, shows women at the center of the picture. Everyday women are outdoors cleaning fish and washing clothes by hand. Other women carry baskets of fruit, vegetables, or fish on their head for sale, shouting a…
Cape Verdean Women and Globalization

Creole in Cape Verde
■ Cape Verde is an island country 450 kilometers off the coast of Senegal, West Africa. Creole is the common language throughout Cape Verde but Portuguese is the official language, the language of its colonizer. Through surveys and interviews, this article reveals the power inequalities that exist among Cape Verdeans because of language use. We particularly explore the perceptions of the significance of speaking Creole in order to fully understan…
