Admissibility of confession evidence
The common law test of voluntariness has come to be associated with important policy rationales including the privilege against self-incrimination. However, when the test originated more than a century ago, it was a test concerned specifically with the truthfulness of confession evidence; which evidence was at that time adduced in the form of indirect oral testimony, that is, as hearsay. Given that, a century later, confession evidence is now mos…
Gendered powerlessness in at-risk adolescent and young women
In the United States, youth aged 13–24 comprised approximately 21% of new HIV infections in 2017; 13% of these infections occurred among women, the majority of whom (86%) acquired HIV through heterosexual contact (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2019a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Promoting Interdisciplinary, Participatory Approaches to Address Childhood Asthma Disparities in an Urban Black Community
Black children are twice as likely as non-Hispanic white children to have asthma due to an interplay of socioeconomic, historical, and industrial factors. The underlying socio-economic and structural inequities result in poor adherence to recommended asthma management treatments. National guidelines suggest asthma action plans (AAPs) as a tool for patient self-management, yet they remain underutilized. Boot Camp Translation (BCT), rooted in commu…
Choreographing pumping
The negotiation of employed mothers' identities as mothers and workers has often been theorized through separation, where women perform their maternal and professional identities differently and distinctly in the home and workplace. However, milk expression in the workplace, as a form of maternal embodiment at work, challenges this separation and the 'ideal' worker dedicated entirely to the goals and desires of the firm. This study analyzes how m…

Rethinking Lactation Space
The 2001 dedication of the Lactation Support Program at Virginia Tech launched an initiative meant to support the needs of breastfeeding employees and the progressive image of the university as a family-friendly institution. While the program created clean, comfortable, private spaces to express breastmilk, the institutionalization of lactation spaces in university construction policy was not accompanied by a planned education piece and consequen…
State parliaments' departure from the practice of standing orders
This article analyses the extent to which contemporary Australian state parliaments observe the procedures and practices of the British House of Commons and the potential reasons for departures from those procedures. It considers a recent example of significant divergence from House of Commons practice. In Western Australia’s state parliament, the speaker exercised the casting vote on a motion of closure (a ‘gag’ motion). The article examines thi…
Implicit Religion in Popular Culture
Studies of the relationship between religion and popular culture are not new, and the past decade has seen a dramatic burgeoning of interest in this relationship. Explorations of everything from Star Trek to Elvis have appeared in the scholarly literature, often making comparative arguments regarding the religious dimensions of popular culture. However, when scholars explore the religious dimensions of fan communities, analyses tend to pathologiz…
The Spirit(s) of Science
Language is but the means the spirit employs to give expression to itself [and] as the development of spirit progresses, words have to be laid aside, to give place to those more suitable to the growth of the spirit, as it advances in knowledge and refinement [but] whatever term may be applied to any condition of life, to give it comprehension in our minds, does not change the nature of the object spoken of ...

Spiritualists, Aliens and UFOs
One of the most striking innovations within contemporary North American Spiritualism is the adoption of extraterrestrials as spirit guides by some contemporary Spiritualists. It is here that the New Age fascination with extraterrestrials and UFOs has taken on a uniquely Spiritualist form. Extraterrestrials have come to represent for many Spiritualists the successful achievement of the ultimate Spiritualist goal: the union between spirituality and…
