Howard I. Kushner, On the Other Hand
This is a very engaging and informative book that will interest scholars but should also appeal to a much wider audience. Like the author I must declare a personal interest; although I am right-handed many of my closest relatives are not. Themes from the book provided many talking points over the holidays and the author’s insights and conclusions resonate strongly with my experiences of living with people who not only are left-handed but also reg…
Peace, Prosperity and Safety Nets in Timor‐Leste
Social protection cash transfers are a vital policy instrument in tackling poverty, and provide an affordable, broad‐based foundation for inclusive growth and social stability. Yet, international experience has shown that many countries have too many programs, but with coverage gaps and fragmented benefits which leave significant proportions of the population without adequate poverty relief or improved economic security. Here, we examine the desi…
John Stewart, Child Guidance in Britain, 1918-1955
This monograph is the latest addition to the impressive series Studies for the Society for the Social History of Medicine. Child guidance is an eminently suitable topic for inclusion because it raises questions that touch on many strands of the historiography dealing with medicine, psychiatry, psychology, education, childhood, child welfare, and the development of the welfare state. The book will be of interest to academics and students from any …

Articulations of Local Governance in Timor-Leste
In pursuing a decentralization policy that sets out to devolve elements of state authority to municipalities, the Government of Timor-Leste faces a key challenge: how to combine different types of governance systems that have legitimacy at local and state levels. In order to inform this process, this policy note looks at how communities and local government currently work together to plan and implement local development initiatives. It attempts t…
Trust, Authority, and Decision Making
This briefing note examines perspectives on trust, authority, and responsibility for decision making in Timor-Leste, using findings from the justice module included in an extension of the 2007 Timor-Leste Survey of Living Standards (TLSLS2) and a review of relevant social-science literature. It is hoped that this report will be a valuable resource for civil servants, civil society, and donor agencies working in Timor-Leste. This note examines rel…
Youth Perspectives on Community, Trust, and Conflict
This briefing note examines intergenerational aspects of community involvement, trust, and authority, and dispute participation/resolution in Timor-Leste, using findings from the justice module included in an extension of the 2007 Timor-Leste Survey of Living Standards (TLSLS2) and a review of relevant social-science literature. It is hoped that this report will be a valuable resource for civil servants, civil society organizations, and donor age…
Contrasting Municipal Responses to the Provision of Birth Control Services in Halifax and Exeter before 1948
Research exploring the development of the birth control movement in Britain continues to reveal new insights. Local case studies highlight the contentious nature of birth control debates and the significant obstacles that had to be overcome before services could be provided. Moving away from a focus on the activities of birth control campaigners and organisations, such as the Family Planning Association, this paper highlights other local actors i…
Delivering Justice to Sierra Leone's Poor
This report introduces findings from qualitative, case-study-based field research undertaken in late 2007 as part of a review of the work of Timap for justice (Timap), a not for-profit paralegal and advocacy organization in Sierra Leone. The analysis was intended to explain how and to what extent Timap has achieved its goals, in particular: 1) to help people achieve concrete solutions to justice problems; and 2) to increase the accountability and…

Implementing the 1902 Midwives Act
Many practitioner‐historians have noted the importance of the 1902 Midwives Act in securing the development of professional midwifery in England and Wales before the creation of the National Health Service. Other scholars contest the view that 1902–1948 represented a golden age for independent, autonomous midwifery and point instead to the constraints imposed by an act designed to protect the public rather than practitioners. This article suggest…

Revealing and Concealing Personal and Social Problems
Researchers from many disciplines have identified new forms of health and welfare services emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Attention has focused on the growth of direct provision by the local and national state, and new relationships between the statutory and voluntary sectors. The literature describes an important transition from the general workhouse to more specialist institutions, and the rise of community care. It also su…

Poor Health
Training for work
The preponderance of women patients in long-stay institutions has long interested historians. Examination of the path to the asylum has drawn attention to the control exercised by male-dominated professional groups over dependent and vulnerable females. Within the institutions the focus has been on the limitations of the care provided and the essentially dehumanising regimes of the total institution. Recently the historiography has started to rea…
