Lessons and Perspectives from a 25-Year Bioelectromagnetics Research Program
The question of whether electromagnetic fields from electric power or telecommunications systems can be linked unequivocally to health detriments has occupied scientific research endeavors for nearly half a century. For 25 years, the bioelectromagnetic research group at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia, has pursued a series of investigations with relevant endpoints, such as neurophysiological and neuropsychological effects, cell calci…
Grotesque Faces and Figures”
One consequence of the technological improvements in mining coal in the nineteenth century was the increased use of child labour in Canadian collieries. Focussing on the major coal-producing province of the period, Nova Scotia, this article outlines how techniques of mining introduced during Victoria's reign encouraged the employment of boys, and how subsequent innovations in mining technology reduced the demand for boy labour after the turn of t…

Boys in the Pits
Beginning early in the nineteenth century, thousands of Canadian boys, some as young as eight, laboured underground - driving pit ponies along narrow passageways, manipulating ventilation doors, and helping miners cut and load coal at the coalface to produce the energy that fuelled Canada's industrial revolution. Boys died in the mines in explosions and accidents but they also organized strikes for better working conditions but were instead expel…
Sweated Labour
Until well into this century, the garment trades were one of the largest employers in manufacturing in Canada. The decline of artisanal clothing trades over the middle of the 19th century led to a marked growth in outwork and deteriorating labour standards. As the garment trades became rife with sweating, a process conditioned by the structured inequalities of class and gender, they became a major source of wage labour for women. Only in this cen…
