  • Whiteness as freedom

    Andrew WellsARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies2026Citada por: 2Referencias: 31

    The attempt to view whiteness as a form of property encounters significant obstacles when applied to the colonial era in North America. This article examines the assumptions and arguments made by Cheryl Harris in her discussion of the historical background in “Whiteness as Property” (1993), and demonstrates that the complexity and variety of colonial societies ensure the notion that whiteness is a species of property has only limited purchase in …

  • The Influence of Mindfulness-Based Factors on Well-Being in an Academic Setting

    Open AccessRhonda Swickert, Samantha Tracey et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2025

    The mindfulness components of acceptance, decentering, and non-attachment allow individuals to be less defensive and to respond more adaptively to challenges in their environment. In an academic environment this could be helpful in mitigating the stress associated with failure, which in turn may allow for greater well-being. Therefore, the purpose of Study 1 was to examine whether these protective factors might allow students to feel less academi…

  • A Persistent Borderland

    Andrew WellsARTICLEZeitschrift für Anglistik und…2022

    Borderlands are not just zones bisected by a border but are also conceptual spaces and areas defined by ‘borderwork’ activities. Eighteenth-century Glasgow was one such area, in which the typical activities associated with borderlands – tax evasion, feuds, and violence as a hallmark of inter-community relations or resistance to an overmighty state and its lieutenants – shaped the effort to produce a new ‘British’ identity after 1707. This article…

  • So much weak and inconclusive reasoning”

    Andrew WellsARTICLEGlobal Intellectual History2022Referencias: 26

    The evaluative, pejorative category ‘pseudoscientific’ has, thanks to its questionable analytical value, been far less often applied to racial thought than in previous decades. Yet this tendency comes at the cost of obscuring one of the most interesting questions about racial ideas – how far were they not only conceivable, but respectable? This article makes the case for using the category of the pseudoscientific to describe early modern racial i…

  • A Dynamic Risk Management Approach for Reducing Harm From Invasive Bedside Procedures Performed During Residency

    Eric J Warm, Yousef Ahmad et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    Internal medicine (IM) residents frequently perform invasive bedside procedures during residency training. Bedside procedure training in IM programs may compromise patient safety. Current evidence suggests that IM training programs rely heavily on the number of procedures completed during training as a proxy for resident competence instead of using objective postprocedure patient outcomes. The authors posit that the results of procedural training…

  • Imperial Political Economy and Its Discontents in Colonial New York City, 1664-1763

    Open AccessAndrew WellsARTICLEAmerikastudien/American Studies2020

    Based on the apparent incongruity between the ideology of liberty within the British Empire and the extensive trade regulations that governed its economic life, this article explores efforts to circumvent the Navigation Acts undertaken in New York or by its citizens between the English conquest and the end of the Seven Years War. It argues that a remarkably wide range of evasive measures were employed, forcing us to re-examine both what it meant …

  • Global cities, glocal fauna

    Open AccessAndrew WellsARTICLEUrban History2020Citada por: 2Referencias: 14

    This article has two principal aims. The first is to assess the usefulness of ‘glocalization’ as a concept in the study of early modern global cities, using human–animal interactions as a test case. The second is to explore the reciprocal influence that human–animal interactions and the development of global cities had on each other. Exploration of these two issues interrogates the frequently contradictory, often ambiguous and always contested na…

  • Introduction

    Andrew WellsARTICLEPatterns of Prejudice2020

    This introduction to the forum outlines the events in Bristol that led to the discussion in the following pages, and makes the argument that, however satisfying it might be to remove celebratory monuments to figures nowadays deemed personae non grata, there are hidden dangers in too zealous an effort to correct urban memory landscapes. Eradicating the celebratory memorialization of those linked to colonial and imperial crimes, of which slavery is…

  • Race and Racism in the Global European World Before 1800

    Open AccessAndrew WellsARTICLEHistory Compass2015Citada por: 4Referencias: 27

    Histories of race and racism for the period before 1800 have been inclined to focus on the Atlantic world, particularly Africa and America. This focus has resulted in a tendency to think of race primarily in terms of slavery and skin colour. In addition, the problems of finding a suitable vocabulary for race and racism – one that is not anachronistic yet recognises the enormity of early modern slavery and genocide – have produced a degree of conf…

  • Sinking Feelings

    Open AccessAndrew WellsARTICLEJournal of British Studies2013Referencias: 3

    The apparent lack of representations of the Titanic disaster in Britain between the start of the First World War and the end of the 1950s was due, not to a lack of interest, but to active resistance to such representations. Shipping interests, the press, government, and the public all opposed portrayals of the catastrophe, but their opposition depended much on the medium by which the sinking was to be represented, on the broader international con…

  • Race Fixing

    Andrew WellsARTICLEHistory of European Ideas2010

    Scholarship on race in the eighteenth century continues to treat the concept as somewhat foreign to Britain itself. This essay, which reviews two new works that contribute to the ‘domestication’ of eighteenth-century ideas of race, suggests one way in which race was interwoven with the fabric of British culture in the period

  • Researching and Writing History with Jim Hagan

    Open AccessWell, Wells Wells et al.ARTICLELabour History2010

    This essay has two related purposes: the first is to understand how Jim Hagan practised the historian's craft; the second, to provide a glimpse into the personality and passions that motivated this productive and gifted historian. These two purposes are closely related: the method that historians adopt is typically shaped by the questions they pose - and these questions are deemed significant by the author's personality, interests and ideology (s…

  • Imperial Hegemony and Colonial Labor

    Open AccessAndrew WellsARTICLERethinking Marxism2007Citada por: 2Referencias: 7

    This paper explores Gramsci's theory of hegemony through an analysis of areas of colonial India and Indochina in 1860–1940. It investigates the commodification of labor under capitalism, arguing that the mass relocation of people through indenture was facilitated by state coercion. Such labor was allegedly consensual. However, in the colonies the state had to regulate plantation conditions to monitor the behavior of private companies. A new world…

  • In Defense of Mechanism

    Andrew Wells, A J WellsARTICLEEcological Psychology2006

    In Life Itself and in Essays on Life Itself, Robert Rosen (1991 Rosen's argument has been used to support critiques of computational models in ecological psychology. This paper shows that Rosen's attack on mechanism is fundamentally misconceived. It is, in fact, of the essence of a mechanical system that it contains closed causal loops. Moreover, Rosen's epistemology is based on a strong form of indirect realism and his arguments, if correct, wou…

  • Coastal dune ridge systems as chronological markers of palaeoseismic activity

    Open AccessAndrew Wells, James GoffARTICLEThe Holocene2006Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    A study of two shore-parallel dune ridge sequences in southwest New Zealand shows that tectonic activity has been the primary controlling influence in their formation since at least AD 1450. The timing of dune-building episodes at the mouths of the Haast and Okuru Rivers was determined using the ages of colonizing trees. Episodic dune formation was indicated by clear discontinuities in tree ages, with distinct cohorts having colonized successive,…

  • Algorists, Algorithms, and Complexity

    Andrew Wells, A J WellsARTICLEEcological Psychology2005

    The status of computational theory in ecological psychology has been and continues to be a source of controversy. Over a period of more than 30 years, Robert Shaw and his colleagues have developed a powerful negative critique of computation based in part on the idea that computational theory cannot capture central aspects of the coimplicative structure of the relations between animals and their environments. Two aspects of the Shavian critique ar…

  • Deploying insecurity

    Open AccessRachel Cornwell, Andrew Wells et al.ARTICLEPeace Review1999Citada por: 1

    United States military facilities and personnel in East Asia continue to inflict devastating harm on local communities, especially on women and children. Incidences of sexual violence and exploitation happen far too frequently to be dismissed as aberrations. Thousands of Amerasian children are abandoned by their U.S. military fathers and raised by single mothers, extended families or institutions in societies that discriminate against them. Incre…
