Hero's Legacy
This article examines the Roto Chileno war memorial in downtown Santiago as a complex site of Chilean identity making in the republican era. Conflating two separate nineteenth-century military victories over the combined forces of Bolivia and Peru, the memorial was a physical manifestation of an intricate process of identity construction that celebrated the mestizo heritage of average citizen-soldiers while also emphasizing the idea that Chileans…

Cultural Consensus Analysis of Stakeholder Beliefs toward Coastal Restoration in Southeast Louisiana
Coastal land loss is a singular threat to the people, economies, and biodiversity of Louisiana. Though opinion polls indicate broad support for restoration efforts, aspects of current plans remain contentious for some stakeholders. We used cultural consensuses analysis (CCA) to go beneath the surface of restoration policy debates and identify shared beliefs about coastal land loss and restoration efforts among select occupational stakeholder grou…

The Impact of a High School‐Based Positive Youth Development Program on Sexual Health Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Although positive youth development (PYD) programs have demonstrated effectiveness in improving adolescent reproductive health outcomes, there is a lack of evidence on effective school-based interventions designed especially for high school settings. This study examined the efficacy of Peer Group Connection (PGC-HS), a school-based PYD program, in improving sexual health outcomes for high school participants. METHODS: A total of 1523 …

The executioner's shadow
Scholars such as Nancy Leys Stepan, Alexandra Minna Stern, Marius Turda and Aaron Gillette have all argued that the rejection of coerced sterilization was a defining feature of "Latin" eugenic theory and practice. These studies highlight the influence of neo-Lamarckism in this development not only in Latin America but also in parts of Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. This article builds upon this historiographical framework to e…
Stereotyping by omission and commission
This paper explores the way in which announcers created spectacle in the Eurosport coverage of the men’s and women’s tennis singles semi-finals and finals at the Australian Open 2015. This was an event where gender representations were under global social media scrutiny after two female players were asked to ‘twirl’ for the audience. We used a two-phase thematic analysis. Semantic thematic analysis showed that more personal descriptions were dire…
Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Programs and Research
The authors argue that researchers and developers need to revisit the theory of planned behavior, social cognitive theory, and the social, psychological theories that are predictive of sexual behavior, and it mentions innovations and research involving adolescent pregnancy prevention programs in America. Funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Adolescent Health is examined, along with the efforts to reduce adolesc…
Impact of an Intervention Designed to Reduce Sexual Health Risk Behaviors of African American Adolescents
Objectives. To replicate an evidence-based HIV risk reduction program and assess its impact on 2 behavioral outcomes—inconsistency of condom use and frequency of sex—6 months after the program. Methods. The study was an individual-level randomized controlled trial in which we randomly assigned 850 youths (aged 14–18 years) to 1 of 2 conditions. The treatment (Becoming a Responsible Teen) is a group-level sociocognitive and skills training sexual …
Hazards, Risks and Disasters in Society
Effects of a Sexual Risk Reduction Program for African-American Adolescents on Social Cognitive Antecedents of Behavior Change
Results are promising, though insignificant results may diminish the program's behavioral impact. More research is needed to determine the extent to which outcomes are related to short and long term risk behaviors
Marius Turda and Aaron Gillette, Latin Eugenics in Comparative Perspective
In their comparative study of early twentieth-century Europe and Latin America, Marius Turda and Aaron Gillette investigate what they define as ‘Latin’ eugenics. Examining eugenicists in countries as diverse as France, Romania and Argentina they contend that, ‘[c]ontrary to Nordic and Anglo-Saxon eugenics, Latin eugenics relied less on race and class and more on individual and the national community’ (p. 1). As such, Turda and Gillette argue that…
Painkiller Misuse among Appalachians and in Appalachian Counties in Kentucky
The misuse of prescription medications is a growing problem in Kentucky (Bunn and Slavova 2012). However, the burden of prescription drug abuse is not borne equally throughout the commonwealth. This article will discuss the issue of prescription painkiller misuse and present original research on self-reported use and perception of use to demonstrate the wide disparity between Appalachians and residents of Appalachian counties and statewide averag…
You're Just Treating Us as Informants!’ Roles, Responsibilities and Relationships in the Production of Children's Services Directories
Local authorities in England are required to make directories of services available to practitioners working with children and young people. This is against a background of continuing reforms intended to ensure that services are joined-up around the needs and choices of children, young people and their families. There are high expectations that more of these services will be delivered by organisations from theVoluntary and Community Sector (VCS),…
Re-Mixing Digital Economies in the Voluntary Community Sector? Governing Identity Information and Information Sharing in the Mixed Economy of Care for Children and Young People
This article critically examines the governance of identity in the context of children's social care. There is a widespread assumption in government policy and technical practice that information can be integrated across organisations and sectors. This article questions these assertions using a case study (‘Mary's story’). It draws on a range of insights from the philosophy of Charles Pierce, information systems practice and social theory. This p…
Seeing the full picture? Technologically enabled multi-agency working in health and social care
The implementation of local e-government in England touched all public services and affected front-line workers across local authorities and partner agencies. Professional ‘cultures’ are invoked rhetorically as barriers to the translation of this policy into practice. We propose that the concept of ‘street-level bureaucrats’ offers a more nuanced and grounded framework to think about local responses to centrally driven change
Mediating Voices
In the United Kingdom, information and communication technologies are being used to e-enable multiagency community services for children. Public policy advocates that practitioners as well as users should be involved in the shaping of services including the information systems used in their delivery. This article discusses how a group of social and computer scientists developed the social formation methodology to facilitate nonexpert community pa…
