Allies in action: Co-creating cinematic narratives to explore intersectional empathy
In times of international humanitarian crises in Gaza, Ukraine and elsewhere, empathy building is a vital concern. Thus, in the spring of 2024, our practice research project Allies in Action empowered students from diverse backgrounds to collaborate in a manner promoting cultural sensitivity and empathy building. It applies a novel conceptual framework that deploys interconnected multiple concepts, founded on the African philosophy, Ubuntu, along…
The American Red Cross and Disaster Relief in the 1960s: Nonprofits and Mass Philanthropy in an Era of Rising Expectations
Hurricane Camille, a devastating Category Five hurricane which hit the Gulf Coast of the U.S. in August, 1969, prompted a reassessment of U.S. disaster relief policy. The American National Red Cross, which had played the dominant role in disaster relief for individuals in the U.S. since the turn of the century, saw its role in disaster relief challenged on a number of fronts. Facing failures in its response to Camille, financial challenges in mee…

Knowledge partnerships between schools and universities: Modelling the process of connection and relations
The purpose of this paper is to throw light on sustained research–practice collaborations (called ‘schemes’ here) aimed at improving educational outcomes. The empirical work combines a survey of thirteen school–university knowledge-exchange schemes in six European countries, with four case studies drawn from these. Three theoretical models of knowledge use are employed to aid analysis of these cases. It is suggested that a judicious mix of the th…
The Fierce Urgency of Now: Lyndon Johnson, Congress, and the Battle for the Great Society
Julian E. Zelizer has established himself as one of the most prominent public interpreters of American political history. In this new book he addresses Americans' appetite for “great man” history with a corrective to the broad public understanding of the nature of Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society—and to the public's expectations of contemporary presidents and their ability to bring about significant political change. Writing into a mass market d…
Supporting a Design Driven Approach to Social Inclusion and Accessibility in Transport
This paper presents research into the area of public transport and accessibility, addressing the support of practitioners in achieving socially inclusive solutions to the mobility issues of diverse populations. For decades, social policy has been underpinned by a stereotyping of populations into simplified sub groups: old, young, disabled, etc. and thus solutions often fail to properly address the richness of human variability. These shortcomings…
How the State and Labor Saved Charitable Fundraising: Community Chests, Payroll Deduction, and the Public–Private Welfare State, 1920–1950
Payroll taxes and payroll deductions became ubiquitous in the United States by the mid-1940s, crucial to the financing of the emerging “mixed” welfare state as well as World War II. While scholars have firmly established the importance of elements of the warfare/welfare state such as Social Security, employer-based pensions and health insurance, and the mass income tax, voluntary sector institutions have garnered less attention. The history of pa…

Monica Prasad. The Land of Too Much: American Abundance and the Paradox of Poverty. Michele Landis Dauber. The Sympathetic State: Disaster Relief and the Origins of the American Welfare State
One of my favorite parts of Monica Prasad's new book is the story of the hypothetical American farmer who joined a sociological tour of Europe—one of those earnest excursions offered up to American reformers in the early twentieth century (as Daniel Rodgers's Atlantic Crossings: Social Politics in a Progressive Age [1998] has memorably explained) to display advances in social welfare in Western Europe that might serve as examples to the backward,…
Politics and Partnerships: The Role of Voluntary Associations in America's Political Past and Present
With the diminishment of public social programs in the United States over the past thirty years, nonprofit and voluntary organizations have taken on new visibility and significance in debates about the maintenance of the social safety net. These political and policy shifts have invited scholarly analysis of the contemporary and historical role of such organizations. The eleven historians, sociologists, and anthropologists assembled by Elisabeth S…
The impact of injuries study. multicentre study assessing physical, psychological, social and occupational functioning post injury - a protocol
This study will quantify physical, psychological, social and occupational functioning and health and social care utilisation following a range of different types of injury and will assess the impact of psychological disorders on function and health service use. The findings will be used to guide the development of interventions to maximise recovery post injury
Psychic aftershocks: Crisis counseling and disaster relief policy
Though crisis counseling following disasters has become a commonplace in the 21st century, we have little to no sense of how and when it became part of federally supported disaster relief services. In 1974, as part of a broad overhaul of federal disaster policy, an authorization to fund counseling services, and mental health training to disaster relief workers, was inserted into the Disaster Relief Act passed in that year--despite little to no em…

Evidence initiatives: Aspects of recent experience in England
English This article examines aspects of the debate in British education about the role that research evidence can play in policy making and practice, stressing the wide spectrum of views held by different stakeholders including researchers, policy makers, institutional leaders and practitioners. Responses to the evidence agenda have come from central government, the research community and professional bodies, and include the establishment of the…
The Voluntary Sector's War on Poverty
In 1970, Elizabeth Wickenden, a longtime activist on behalf of public social provision and a broker between voluntary social welfare agencies and the federal government, despaired of a quiet revolution occurring in social service provision. “Virtually unchallenged and undebated,” she observed, “the principle established with the first large-scale federal welfare program, the Federal Emergency Welfare Administration [ sic ], that public funds shou…
The International HapMap Project
The goal of the International HapMap Project is to determine the common patterns of DNA sequence variation in the human genome and to make this information freely available in the public domain. An international consortium is developing a map of these patterns across the genome by determining the genotypes of one million or more sequence variants, their frequencies and the degree of association between them, in DNA samples from populations with a…
Vehicle crashworthiness and the older motorist
This study examines the relationship between age and the injury outcomes for belted drivers in road vehicle crashes in the United Kingdom. The sample of 1,541 drivers was divided into three age groups: 889 drivers were aged 17–39 years (young drivers); 515 were 40–64 years (middle-aged), and 137 aged 65–84 years (older drivers). Both frontal and side impact crashes in which the vehicles sustained sufficient damage to be towed away from the scene …
Native Songs and Dances: Southeast Asia in a Greater Chinese Sporting Community, 1920–48
In the 1920s and 1930s, Republican Chinese thinkers viewed modern sports and traditional martial arts as important ways of invigorating the Chinese nation and race, and institutions in the ROC used both in attempting to extend the nationalist impulse to the Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. These alternative physical culture models provide insights into both the diversity of thinking and the shared modernist assumptions that inspired projects d…
To Make the Four Hundred Million Move: The Late Qing Dynasty Origins of Modern Chinese Sport and Physical Culture

Zhou Ming, Head Coach, PRC National Swim Team, 1997.There is little doubt that, after a century's exposure, Chinese have absorbed and understand quite clearly the greater meanings of the realm of sport-the connections between competitive athletic endeavor, imperialist bluster, and economic standing in the world communi…
Same mission, same methods, same results? Academic and religious outcomes from different models of Catholic schooling
A study of comprehensive schools in one English local education authority shows two Catholic schools at opposite ends of the effectiveness spectrum in helping pupils achieve examination success. Subsequent investigation of their understanding and interpretation of Catholic education finds them to represent two paradigms of Catholic school. Some possible causal relationships are explored between their values, attitudes and practices and their pupi…
