Changing view: Time and place in Sara Baume’s Seven Steeples
Climate policy and the ‘overshoot’ conjuncture: The Australian case
Category-dependent preferences and stochastic choice
We introduce a generalisation of (Aguiar’s 2017) random categorisation rule (RCR) that relaxes (Aguiar’s 2017) Acyclicity axiom to an Asymmetry condition. Unlike other alternatives to the RCR, such as the models of Brady and Rehbeck (2016) and Cattaneo et al., (2020), our generalised random categorisation rule (GRCR) relaxes the linearity of preference, rather than varying the random consideration process. We show that the GRCR is also equivalent…
A stricter canon: General Luce models for arbitrary menu sets
A theory of unanimous jury voting with an ambiguous likelihood
Social-ecological feedbacks drive tipping points in farming system diversification
Place-based Politics and Nested Deprivation in the U.K: Beyond Cities-towns, ‘Two Englands’ and the ‘Left Behind’
‘Place-based explanations’ of politics in the UK draw on survey data to tell sweeping narratives about ‘Two Englands’, or of sizeable regions of the country that have been ‘Left Behind’, reinforcing popular accounts of a North-South or city-town divide. We introduce the concept of nested deprivation—deprivation that may occur in just one housing estate or even one row of flats within neighbourhoods that are otherwise affluent. We report on intens…

Uses for ruins: Anne Enright's The Green Road
Since her early work, Anne Enright has manipulated national and gender stereotypes in a knowing and sometimes playful way. This article focusses on the use of the well-worn Irish tropes of the mother and the family home as they appear in The Green Road. In particular, it considers the ways alternative historical and social possibilities are coded into cliché and stereotype. Rather than appearing as a linguistic limitation or an exhaustion of mean…
Students’ perspectives of early assessment tasks in their first-year at university
Assessment plays an important role in first-year students’ transition to university, influencing how they learn. Poorly designed assessment can be demotivating and may even cause students to withdraw from university. An early low-stakes assessment task is recommended in first year, to provide information to students and staff on student progress, provide students with a positive experience and help them prepare for future assessments. This paper …

Using Cases in Political Science: Reflections on Keith Dowding’s The Philosophy and Methods of Political Science
This short response presses further on considerations about the N of cases and so-called qualitative and quantitative evidence in political research. I ask whether Dowding’s critique of the claims of causal process-tracing is relevant to case studies as they appear in real-life political science. I argue that choosing a case is an integral part of performing a case study and case studies in reality are always situated within research designs that…
Place, History and Story: Tony Birch and the Yarra River
This essay examines the three Yarra River stories in Tony Birchâ s short fiction collections. â The Sea of Tranquillityâ â The Chocolate Empireâ and â The Toecuttersâ all question the historical inscription of the Yarra that favours the culturally dominant account by placing it in relation to alternative stories. The torsion engendered by this questioning is apparent in the stories themselves. They are simultaneously discussions of class-based so…
Abstract homes: Deterritorialisation and reterritorialisation in the work of Colm Tóibín
Now that Ireland has well and truly set out on the modern journey, and come to a historical moment which requires the re-evaluation of its particular forms of modernity, what alternatives might be gleaned from contemporary Irish novels, especially those presenting a post-or anti-national position? In the journey from the ‘ex-isle of Erin’, what if homesickness strikes? What form would it take? In the present globalising moment, is home/land now m…
