Embedding sustainability in law curricula
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report and reflect on the design of a new unit of learning in the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) degree at Queensland University of Technology, Australia. The unit embeds a sustainability mindset approach, which aims to equip graduates with the knowledge and skills they will need to respond to the ongoing and future complexities associated with sustainability. The paper shares our unit design to provide an exam…
Resistance towards increasing gender diversity in masculine domains
Efforts to increase diversity can often be met with resistance amongst high-status groups. Despite this, little is known about majority-group responses towards increasing gender diversity, and the psychological mechanisms underlying them. Across five studies, we extended intergroup threat theory to advance understanding of resistance towards gender diversity amongst men in masculine domains (Studies 1–3 and 5) and amongst women in feminine domain…
Powerful Methodologies/Powerful Pedagogy
Autoethnography and dialogic interviewing are valued qualitative research methodologies across multiple disciplines. However, their use in college classrooms as a focal point of student writing, learning, and empowerment is less documented than its use in research studies despite being powerful learning tools. I describe my use of these methodologies in a women’s and gender studies course. Grounded in compelling examples from students’ autoethnog…
Trading tree growth for soil degradation
This study assessed the effects of two vegetation management treatments (black polyethylene mulch and a control treatment) on tree growth, fine root biomass of trees and of competing vegetation, earthworms, and physiochemical soil properties in a 10 year-old agricultural riparian buffer planted in southern Québec (Canada) with five trees species: Populus × canadensis Moench (hybrid poplar), Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh. (red or green ash), Quercu…
Global Recharge
hronic respiratory diseases (CRD) are highly prevalent in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). People living with CRD are often disabled by breathlessness which can result in reduced health-related quality of life, including reduced exercise tolerance, significant psychological morbidity and reduced ability to work. Implementing clinically and cost-effective interventions to tackle these problems can be challenging in low-resource settings. P…
Associations between brain drawings following mild traumatic brain injury and negative illness perceptions and post-concussion symptoms at 4 years
Characteristics of patient's drawings have been linked to short-term health-related outcomes across a range of health conditions. This study examined associations between brain drawings at 1 month and illness perceptions and post-concussion symptoms at 4 years in 92 adults following mild traumatic brain injury. Greater damage depicted at 1 month was correlated with perceived greater impact on life, duration of injury, symptoms of brain injury, em…
The Incidence of Torus Mandibularis in Malay Peoples
The incidence of torus mandibularlis is known to vary in world groups. The object os this study was to determine the incidence of torus mandibularis in Malay peoples. Comparison of the data with the known incidence is other world groups showed that the incidence of this trait in Malay people is not unusally high
Empowerment, Social Justice, and Feminist Self-Defense
Empowerment-based self-defense (ESD) training is an effective intervention for the prevention of violence, can increase feelings of self-efficacy and confidence, can reduce levels of depression and anxiety, and is protective against traumatic stress symptoms, thereby reducing the harm of violence as well as its prevalence. Like other interventions developed from empowerment theory, ESD challenges the prevailing cultural narrative of weak, passive…
Co - Producing Mobilities
In an experimental session entitled Co-Producing Mobilities held at the 2014 Royal Geographical Society-Institute of British Geographers Annual Conference, 20 mobility scholars travelled around London on foot, by bus and by Tube to investigate how mobilities could be considered co-produced. In this paper, 18 participants reflect on this collaborative experiment and on how it influenced their thinking about mobilities, geographical knowledge and p…
Responding to Domestic Minors Sex Trafficking (DMST)
Over the last decade, modern slavery has emerged as a major social-justice issue. Many new organizations in the United States have begun serving survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST), while others have expanded their services to include this vulnerable population in their mission. This qualitative study describes the principle-based practices that emerged from structured interviews with staff employed at five well-established organiz…
Students and sex work in the UK
Available evidence suggests that changes in the funding of UK higher education in recent years have been accompanied by an increased student presence in the sex industry, ostensibly for financial reasons and to make ends meet. The current study comprises a sample of students (N = 200) drawn from several universities in the UK. Data were gathered on financial and employment circumstances, a range of measures of psychological well-being, attitudes …
A forgotten tweet
Several studies highlight the power of social media outlets to raise awareness, funds, and further recovery efforts in disaster-prone areas, but few have investigated where social media have been ineffectual. Although the long-running humanitarian crisis in Somalia receives only sporadic news coverage, the country is not without a social media presence. This study uses Coombs’ SCCT Model to evaluate the crisis response message strategies put fort…
Go “Heavy” or Go Home
This study uses a multimethod approach to examine links between societal attitudes about one extreme sport, snowboarding, and gender cues present in 2010 Winter Olympics broadcasts. Results of a nationwide survey of 718 adults found that viewing time emerged as the main predictor variable for attitudes. Respondents who watched more men's coverage rated the sport as more masculine, and those who watched more women's coverage rated the sport as mor…
The Transition from the Scottish Office to the Scottish Executive
Dying Homeless but Not Alone
This article provides an integrated examination of the process of death among the homeless and the integral role that shelter staff and residents play in this process. Several brief case studies illustrate a variety of ways in which shelter staff and friends who provide support networks in the final stages of life often are excluded by families and others from the rites and rituals of death. The authors suggest that the reliance of homeless peopl…
