The Future of the NCVS: Findings From the Multiyear Effort to Design the New Instrument and Plans for Implementation
During the past 50 years, various changes and improvements to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) have occurred. During this time, the NCVS has provided important national data on personal and household victimization and has remained a key resource for understanding victims’ experiences. As the survey continues to evolve over time to address emerging data needs, this article provides details on the most recent multiyear effort to redes…

Status Fixity and Dirty Workers' Experiences of Recognition
Based on interviews with waste management workers, this study focuses on changes in low-paid/low-status workers' experiences of recognition during and after the pandemic. In this article, we explore these developments, drawing on the work of Honneth, Fraser, Neckel and Reckwitz. Our analysis challenges the rather romanticised treatment of recognition that persists in existing research on dirty work. In particular, though the pandemic heightened s…
Gendering Place and Affect: Attachment, Disruption and Belonging
Ready or Not: An Archaeological Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Needs Assessment
Debates about the best means of preparing archaeologists continue. This article reviews data from 674 archaeological job postings to assess in-demand archaeological knowledge, skills, and abilities. The needs assessment reveals American archaeology's demand for dynamic, highly skilled professionals capable of identifying, preserving, and protecting the past. The skills demanded in archaeology job postings are the skills necessary to not only succ…
When Two Worlds Collide: The Role of Affect in ‘Essential’ Worker Responses to Shifting Evaluative Norms
Concerns about devaluation and misrecognition are central for understanding the experiences of workers in stigmatised occupations. Yet contemporary approaches have been criticised for over-simplifying workers’ responses to mis/recognition. Povinelli’s concepts of ‘trembling of recognition’ and ‘social tense’ offer a useful starting point for extending existing understandings of mis/recognition by highlighting the contextual importance of temporal…
Where There’s a Will: Rural Enslavement and National Register of Historic Places Diversity
Three archaeological sites in the South Carolina Sandhills provide insight into the opportunities and challenges associated with the archaeology of rural enslavement. A consideration of the material culture and historical context of these sites raises questions about the National Register of Historic Places’ standards of significance and integrity and their applicability in historical environments of scarcity. By examining sites with quantitative…
A Compact in the Rough: Beauty and Material Culture of Agrarian Women in Postbellum South Carolina
Critical Material Culture Analysis in US National Register of Historic Places Significance Statements
Significance statements express the values of archaeological assemblages and effect the preservation of sites in the United States. Through an evaluation of 219 significance statements from the South Carolina Sandhills, this paper explores trends in the analysis of material culture in Section 106 and Section 110 assessments. A review of archaeological guidelines from 47 states contextualizes the patterns of material culture analysis observed in t…
Landscape and Work: Placing' the Experiences of Male Manual Workers in a UK Seaside Town
This article explores the experiences of white, male manual workers in Hastings, East Sussex - a mid-sized UK seaside town that has undergone long-term decline in employment opportunities. Informed by the theoretical insights from Bourdieu, it focuses on the role of place in shaping the employment paths of a group that has arguably been 'left behind' by local and global forces. Drawing on broader notions of place as landscape and highlighting the…
Living and working on the edge: ‘Place precarity’ and the experiences of male manual workers in a U.K. seaside town
Based on an ethnographic study of male manual workers in Blackpool, a large seaside town in the United Kingdom, and drawing on Bourdieu as a theoretical frame, this article explores the role of place in understanding conditions and experiences of precarity. With higher than average levels of deprivation, seaside towns have experienced particular employment challenges where precariousness is likely to be at the forefront of male manual workers' la…

Design/methodology/approach This paper draws on secondary sources to explore gender and COVID-19. Findings The authors show that contamination is rooted in structural disadvantage, reproducing classed, gendered and racial difference in terms of how it is encou…
Intermodal Calibration of the Body in Early Infancy
Three experiments are reported addressing the issue of what kind of visual-proprio- ceptive information is picked up by young infants when engaging in the visual exploration of self-produced movements of their legs projected onto a video display. Results of the first experiment indicate that 3- to 5-month old infants show discrimi- nation between a normal view of their own legs and a view that reverses the left-right location of both legs on the …
