Decolonizing Schooling: Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers as Cultural Leaders in Australian Education
The Education Department of Western Australia advocates for culturally responsive schools. Aboriginal Indigenous Education Officers (AIEOs) are employed by schools to facilitate and enable the potential for Aboriginal school children to thrive in school settings. This article describes the values that AIEOs, parents, and teachers emphasized as being important in responding to Aboriginal students, through yarning circles organized in the first yea…
Gendered Paths To Cancer Knowledge and Screening Behavior among Black Adults: Results from a Community-Partnered Study
Efforts are needed to promote cancer knowledge and the uptake of cancer screening behaviors among Black Americans. Such efforts must be customized for the unique differences in facilitators/barriers among Black men and women. The present study leverages the potential of the UF Health Cancer Institute Community-Partnered Cancer Disparities Research Collaborative (CDRC) to identify the psychosocial and structural factors associated with cancer know…
Educating the educated: Embracing respectful responsibility
The Moombaki (where the river meets the sky) study hypothesises that increasing the knowledge and pride that Aboriginal children have of their identity will contribute positively toward their education, health and well-being outcomes. Through research yarning circles conducted at three urban primary schools in Boorloo (Perth), Aboriginal educators (Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers [AIEOs] and teachers) described how to respond to Aborig…
The slow rejection of mercury in Yukon’s small-scale gold mining industry
Technological innovation is supported by networks formed through dynamic formalisation processes. • A floating pool of professionals can emerge as key innovators driving community-led research and development. • Passive mercury rejection depends on geological, social, technical, and formalization pre-conditions. • Mercury rejection began as a technological shift and was later reinforced by changing social norms. • Public geoscience can simultaneo…

The predicament of pastoral sovereignty
This paper seeks to understand the conditions of possibility of “sanctuary” – the claiming of a “sacred” space of (humanitarian) exception - in the midst of civil war. Sanctuary codifies an exceptional space where sovereign and pastoral registers of power converge into a form of “pastoral sovereignty” that can temporarily “interrupt” the law of violence of sovereign power. In civil war this can enable civilians to be saved and protected from kill…

Anticipating and addressing the ethical implications of deepfakes in the context of elections
New media synthesis technologies are rapidly advancing and becoming more accessible, allowing users to make video and audio clips (i.e. deepfakes) of individuals doing and saying things they never did or said. Deepfakes have significant implications for the integrity of many social domains including that of elections. Focusing on the 2020 US presidential election and using an anticipatory approach, this article examines the ethical issues raised …
The Ecology of Experiences for African American Women in Clinical Doctoral Programs
African American women must navigate higher education, in particular, clinical doctoral programs, as a gendered racial minority. These women often endure multiple levels of discrimination to obtain their degree. Findings of this study highlight these experiences and suggest the importance of increasing supports for African American women in clinical doctoral programs. Practices and supports should be put in place so that students of color are not…
Aaron Douglas and Katherine Dunham: The Exploration and Legitimization of African and African Diasporic Roots
Aaron Douglas and Katherine Dunham were pioneers in setting a definitive course for African American artistic expression in the first half of the twentieth century. Their innovative positions revolved around the reclamation and integration of African and African diasporic sources into their work, which established the foundation for a new respect for African cultural inheritance. The two artists pursued this goal through their individual research…
Taking liberties and making liberty: Religious bounding and political violence in Sri Lanka
This paper argues that the relationship between religion and violent politics is best understood through a focus on religious practice. The case study of the Tamil Catholic Church within Sri Lanka’s civil war is presented against a back- drop of Buddhist monk participation in violent insurgency decades earlier. The discrete cases evidence a common preoccupation with management of physical borders and discursive boundaries as actors seek to reprod…
R(r)ose Sélavy as Man Ray: Reconsidering the Alter Ego of Marcel Duchamp
R(r)ose Sélavy may be the most provocative art production assigned to Marcel Duchamp, himself among the most challenging artists of the modern and postmodern periods. She tells us much about Duchamp's work, psychology, and collaborations, as well as his, and wider, cultural attitudes toward gender, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. The so-called alter ego of Duchamp, Sélavy was designated by him as “born” in New York in 1920, and she served him …
Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) and Elementary School Aged Children's Aggression: Results from a Cluster Randomized Trial
This study reports on aggressive outcomes from a cluster randomized trial of the Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) curriculum. Fourteen elementary schools were randomly assigned to intervention or control condition and third grade students were followed through the fifth grade. Teacher and self‐reports of student aggression, conduct problems, delinquency, acting out problems, and social information processing (SIP) variables were …
Sri Lanka - a divided Church in a divided polity: The Brokerage of a Struggling Institution
In different fields of academia today there is renewed interest in the relationship between religion and politics. However, this literature often focuses on beliefs such as extremism and nationalism at the expense of historically contextualized discussion about the organization and practices associated with religion. As analysts observe the 'retreat' of the promise of secular modernity, it is easy to be left with little or no grounded understandi…
The Lost Boys of Sudan: Coping with ambiguous loss and separation from parents
The Lost Boys of Sudan were separated from their families by civil war and subsequently lived in three other countries-Ethiopia, Kenya, and the United States. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 refugees about their experiences of separation from parents and ambiguous loss, and the coping strategies the youth used when they did not know if other members of their family were dead or alive. All of the youth reported using both emotion-focuse…
Cultural processes in parenting and youth outcomes: Examining a model of racial-ethnic socialization and identity in diverse populations
We review and summarize the findings across 7 studies contained in the special section titled, "Racial-Ethnic Socialization, Identity, and Youth Outcomes: Excavating Culture." These studies represent a significant advance for research in issues related to the impact of racial-ethnic socialization and identity on child outcomes. All 7 studies attempted to test in whole or part a hypothetical model in which ethnic-racial socialization in families o…
Transforming Caregiving: African American Custodial Grandmothers and the Child Welfare System
Growing numbers of African American grandmothers are raising grandchildren under the auspices of the child welfare system; however, little is known about the manner in which child welfare policies and practices impact custodial grandparenting. Based on focus groups with African American grandmothers who are raising grandchildren as formal kinship caregivers, this study explored the ways in which the new formalized relationship between the child w…
Correlates in Children's Experiences of Parents' Racial Socialization Behaviors
This study examined racial socialization processes among 94 African American parents of third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade children as they were predicted by children's ethnic identity exploration and unfair treatment as well as by parents' ethnic identity and discrimination experiences. Findings indicated that children's ethnic identity exploration and parents' perceptions that their children had been treated unfairly by an adult because of their …
Disentangling Poverty and Race
Race, class, and culture are inextricably linked in the lives of poor families. A perspective is provided for a disentangled view of these influences for the purposes of enhancing the effectiveness of practice, policy, and program design, as well as research. Deconstructing myths and beliefs about poor families of color with examples from African American and Hmong American life were key in the development of the approach. Three implications for …

Benefits and Obstacles of Health Status Assessment in Ambulatory Settings: The Clinician??s Point of View
In the past decade physicians have identified the need to expand patient assessment to include global function and quality of life. During the same period, the busy clinic has evolved into the location where this assessment seems most appropriate. Integrating functional health assessment into a busy clinical practice is difficult because the necessary steps require time, thought, recording, and follow-up. Attention to the office ecosystem is very…
