Medieval vagabonds to early modern rogues: Legal and cultural continuities in English mobility
The following article provides a reinterpretation of English vagrancy between c .1200 and 1600. It argues for a history defined by long-term continuities rather than ruptures. Scholarship has traditionally fragmented vagrancy into discrete moments, from the post-plague labour crisis to development of the Poor Laws in the sixteenth century. In contrast, this study demonstrates that a stable conceptual logic underpinned legal and literary treatment…

Do Not “Let Them Eat Cake”: Correlation of Food-Consumption Patterns among Rural Primary School Children from Welfare and Non-Welfare Households
Physical and financial access impacts food choice and consumption, while educational attainment, employment, income, gender, and socioeconomic status are also influential. Within this context, the aim of the paper is to examine the association between various foods consumed and eating patterns of children between low and higher income households. A paper-based survey was completed by parents/carers of children in 41 primary schools in rural and r…

Taxonomy and Why History of Science Matters for Science: A Case Study
The history of science often has difficulty connecting with science at the lab-bench level, raising questions about the value of history of science for science. This essay offers a case study from taxonomy in which lessons learned about particular failings of numerical taxonomy (phenetics) in the second half of the twentieth century bear on the new movement toward DNA barcoding. In particular, it argues that an unwillingness to deal with messy th…
Laws of Biology, Laws of Nature: Problems and (Dis)Solutions
This article serves as an introduction to the laws-of-biology debate. After introducing the main issues in an introductory section, arguments for and against laws of biology are canvassed in Section 2. In Section 3, the debate is placed in wider epistemological context by engaging a group of scholars who have shifted the focus away from the question of whether there are laws of biology and toward offering good accounts of explanation(s) in the bi…
Coherence, Consistency, and Cohesion: Clade Selection in Okasha and Beyond
Samir Okasha argues that clade selection is an incoherent concept, because the relation that constitutes clades is such that it renders parent-offspring (reproduction) relations between clades impossible. He reasons that since clades cannot reproduce, it is not coherent to speak of natural selection operating at the clade level. We argue, however, that when species-level lineages and clade-level lineages are treated consistently according to stan…
Nineteenth‐century French missionaries and fa'a Samoa
Catholicism was introduced into Samoa in 1845 by French Marists. The article gives an overview of the encounter between French Catholicism and Samoan culture in the 19th century. This includes ethnographic descriptions from Mission sources. The Catholic Mission confronted a Samoan culture in the throes of dealing with the intruding European world while entering a Samoan polity of intrigues and alliances. It sought to use these in its own interest…
Policing a Divided Society
Issues concerning policing policies, structures and practices — and the administration of justice in general — have been central to the polarisation of Northern Irish society since the establishment of the state, and they continue to divide the two communities. On the one hand, most unionists see the various institutional arrangements and legislative framework for the maintenance of law and order as essential to the preservation of the constituti…
Policing Northern Ireland: Current issues
This article identifies the key issues in the debate surrounding the future of policing in Northern Ireland—a debate that has intensified following the paramilitary ceasefires. It draws heavily on a forthcoming report of an ethnographic study that focused on community perceptions of policing within both Catholic and Protestant communities in three areas of Northern Ireland

Athanasius and the Simile of the Mirror
ATHANASIUS AND THE SIMILE OF THE MIRROR BY ANDREW HAMILTON, S. J. Athanasius' use of the simile of the mirror in Contra Gentes has been fully discussed in recent years.1 The simile has been taken to reflect a Platonist framework within which the soul is like God in its spiritual nature, sins by turning to material reality, and is able to return to God simply by turning away from the material. This portrayal of man's rela- tionship to God appears …
