State-led age-friendly urbanism in non-Western contexts: Evidence from transitional communities in Fujian, China
In 2020, China launched its national Age-friendly Community Assessment Programme, aiming to certify 5000 communities by 2025 and potentially reaching over 50 million people. However, how these state-led objectives are translated into community-level realities remains underexamined, particularly in transitional communities ( guoduxing shequ ), hybrid urban forms emerging from rural–urban integration. Drawing on six case studies from Fujian Provinc…
Classifying YouTube channels: Algorithmic approach to channel mapping
YouTube is one of the most influential platforms for news and political commentary; however, its vast scale makes it challenging to study the full range of content and communities that it hosts. Most existing research focuses only on the most popular channels, overlooking the large number of smaller creators who may reach sizable and politically engaged audiences. In this study, we introduce a new approach to identifying and classifying YouTube c…
Young women's travel safety and the journey to work: Reflecting on lived experiences of precarious mobility in three African cities (and the potential for transformative action)
The relationship between women's everyday lived travel experiences as daily commuters and their employment history and potential has not been adequately researched and documented in African contexts. This multidisciplinary study, utilising an innovative action research methodology, compares experiences of young women (18-35y) resident in low-income neighbourhoods of three diverse African cities - Abuja, Cape Town and Tunis. It examines the challe…
Engaging citizens from low-income communities in transport planning: Experiences from peer research studies conducted in three African cities
This paper draws on experience from a series of transport-focused studies built round peer research with community members resident in low-income neighbourhoods at the periphery of three major cities: Abuja, Cape Town and Tunis. These were conducted firstly with young women aged 18–35 in all three cities over a four-year period (2019–2022, i.e. spanning the pandemic), followed by a recently completed pilot with young men in the same age group (bu…
The lived experiences of women workers in Africa's transport sector: Reflections from Abuja, Cape Town and Tunis
This paper draws on ethnographic research conducted 2019–2022 in three quite diverse city regions - Abuja, Cape Town and Tunis - to understand women's lived experiences of work in the road transport sector. The strength of connection between male identity and motor-mobility in Africa is ubiquitous and has rarely been questioned by transport sector actors. Women are still largely absent from the story, constrained at least partly by hegemonic norm…
The dying patient: Taboo, controversy and missing terms of reference for designers—an architectural perspective
Contemporary society has grown seemingly detached from the realities of growing old and subsequently, dying. A consequence, perhaps, of death becoming increasingly overmedicalised, nearly one in two UK nationals die institutional deaths. In this article we, two architectural scholars engaged in teaching, research and practice and a nurse and healthcare scholar with a focus on end-of-life care and peoples’ experiences, wish to draw attention to a …
The Role of Men in Family Planning in the Philippines: An Assessment
This article discusses the results of a USAID/Philippines-commissioned assessment carried out in 2005 that sought to identify strategies and make recommendations to develop and/or expand existing programs to include men in family planning (FP), both in support of their partners and as users of family planning methods. The assessment found substantial recent and ongoing male involvement activities in research, policy guidelines, information educat…

Ten Thousand Tonga: A Longitudinal Anthropological Study from Southern Zambia, 1956-1991
The Gwembe Study was launched in 1956 to monitor the responses of 57,000 Tonga-speakers from the Middle Zambezi Valley to involuntary relocation. Since then, periodic censuses and frequent field visits have generated a wide variety of information. This article examines the demography of four Gwembe Tonga villages from 1956 to 1991, a period characterized first by relocation, then prosperity, and finally by economic hardship. White nuptiality does…
A Cross-Modal Assessment of Reading Achievement in Children
This study examined the predictive ability of the Listen and Look (LL) test of cross-modal perception and the Metropolitan Readiness Test (MRT) in relation to reading achievement (teacher rating, Systematic Approach to Reading Improvement, and reading grades) and to other achievement measures. Effects of child's age and sex on test scores and achievement also were investigated. Data from 79 first grade pupils were analyzed using linear regression…
The Social Competency Scale for Preschool-Age Children: Its Development and Factorial Validity
The Iowa Social Competency Scale-Preschool (ISCS-P) was de-veloped as a paper-and-pencil test for parents to measure typical be-havior of preschool-age children as they function within the family setting. After preliminary testing with 133 parents of preschool-age children, a 60-item test was administered to 436 rural and urban parents (250 mothers, 186 fathers). The results of a factor analysis for each sex suggested a five-factor, 34-item form …
The social composition of the Land League
The historical importance of the Irish National Land League lies primarily in its contribution to the politicization of Irish agrarian society. During the years 1879-82 the Land League conducted a tenant right campaign embracing virtually every county in the south and west of Ireland, and an extensive portion of the midlands as well. In these areas it organized an impressive network of local branches, which drew large numbers of farmers into poli…
