Experiences of people with prediabetes in a self-compassion and physical activity intervention
Having a Type 2 Diabetes risk (i.e. prediabetes) is a call to action for health behaviour change. Physical activity can reduce one’s diabetes risk, but difficult emotions, stigma, and lack of support can prevent people with prediabetes from getting active. Self-compassion is a psychological resource that may help people cope with prediabetes and increase their physical activity. The MOVE IT program is an 8-week videoconferencing intervention that…

The World of Prometheus
For Danielle Allen, punishment is more a window onto democratic Athens' fundamental values than simply a set of official practices. From imprisonment to stoning to refusal of burial, instances of punishment in ancient Athens fueled conversations among ordinary citizens and political and literary figures about the nature of justice. Re-creating in vivid detail the cultural context of this conversation, Allen shows that punishment gave the communit…

The Prison of Athens
THE PRISON OF ATHENS HAS, on the whole, attracted little attention on the part of scholars. There is, for example, no full-scale study that makes use of all the ancient evidence to reconstruct prison life or even to identify who exactly was incarcerated there.' Instead, most scholars have allowed one issue, whether was a normal penalty, to influence, if not dominate, their discussions. For instance, Douglas MacDowell (1978: 257) ends his brief ac…

Gossip and the Politics of Reputation in Classical Athens
CLASSICISTS HAVE DEVOTED but scant attention to the phenomenon of gossip.1 This is a pity, for gossip has much to tell about the society that produced it. Or this is the view of anthropologists of small communities who have made gossip a serious study. There is one proposition especially that dominates their discussions: gossip is not a gratuitous of expression but one with its own rules, both socially and culturally determined (Gluckman 308-314;…
The Athenian Widow and her Kin
Evidence in Attic lawsuits, viewed in a cross-cultural perspective, reveals that the legal restrictions on women made it difficult for widows to achieve the kind of independence and power enjoyed by their counterparts in early modern Europe. Athenian widowsfunctioned mainly within the structure of the family. Peculiar to their position was the fact that they remained members of their natal family. Hence, though legally without rights of inheritan…

Past and Process in Herodotus and Thucydides
This is the first systematic attempt to compare Herodotus and Thucydides as contemporaries, that is, as pre- Socratic thinkers who employed rather similar concepts and intellectual tools and who worked within the same theoretical framework or space. The work also brings to the study of the ancient historians widely accepted and recognizable concepts derived from contemporary historiography and the methodology of the social sciences. Originally pu…
