Avoiding plastics at the household level: Household agency as a mechanism in transitions
Household innovation and agency in sustainability transitions
Household Plastic Waste Management and Gender Dynamics in Circular Economies
A circular economy has emerged as a promising solution for addressing plastic pollution. It directly impacts waste management practices in the household, which has long been considered a feminized domain. What are the hidden gendered costs of household plastic waste management? This paper systematically reviews extant knowledge on household plastic management in sociology and cognate disciplines. Noting the inadequate attention to gender in the c…
Household niche experimentation in sustainability transitions and everyday life: A novel framework with evidence from low-waste living in Melbourne
Role of local governments and households in low-waste city transitions
Local governments are placing greater requirements on households to sort and reduce their waste. The research draws on experimental governance scholarship to explore the transformative capacity of local government in low waste sustainability transitions and how this is given form through engaging households in new waste management initiatives. Australia, a high-income county with one of the highest per-capita rates of waste generation globally, f…
Household Sustainability Labour and the Gendering of Responsibility for Low Waste Living
This article explores the nature of domestic labour involved in sustainability transitions at the household level, with waste reduction as an exemplar. We draw on national survey data (N = 2717) from Australia, and qualitative data from a participatory action project working with 34 householders on experiments in low waste living. We found low waste living was challenging work mentally, physically and interpersonally and required information, ski…
Mountbatten, Cold War and Empire, 1945–79 by Adrian Smith
This book constitutes the sequel to Mountbatten: Apprentice War Lord, published by Adrian Smith in 2022, which covered Lord Louis Mountbatten's early career as a naval captain and then Britain's chief of combined operations, 1941–1943. Biographers have been fascinated by Mountbatten's royal pedigree—Queen Victoria and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia were among his godparents in 1900, and his great nephew, then Charles, Prince of Wales, called Mountbat…
Responsibility and innovation for low waste and circular economy transitions: What roles for households
The need for waste policy to embrace CE principles through measures to avoid waste generation and improve recycling rates can be understood within the broader context of sustainability transitions. We analyze three Australian waste policies to understand how households are framed as framing policy actors. Using a governance rationalities framework inspired by Hajer (2005) and Dryzek's (2013) work on environmental governance, we identified four di…
Educational management and leadership in Wales: Promise, performance and potential
This paper argues that educational policies and changes in Wales over the last thirty years have somewhat neglected issues concerned with management and leadership, in comparison with other countries and within the UK. More recently, however, leadership development has been provided and the Welsh National Academy for Educational Leadership has recently produced an organisational framework. Based on analysis of the Welsh educational, social and ec…
Anaphoric Islands and Anaphoric Forms: The Role of Explicit and Implicit Focus
Two experiments are reported in which people resolve references to sets of entities (e.g., lies) that have previously been introduced either explicitly into a text (“the lies”) or implicitly via a cognate verb (a form of the verb “to lie”). Previous work has show that pronominal references to such entities were judged as relatively unacceptable and required longer judgement times when judgements were positive compared with cases in which the ante…
Educating for Change: How Labor Education Centers and AFL-CIO Bodies Can Grow and Transform Together
In order to survive and prosper today, both labor councils and labor education centers need to rethink their mission, goals, and strategies. In this report, we examine how partnerships between these two types of organizations have fostered creative transformation for both. We examine the innovative relationships between labor education programs and their respective labor councils and state federations in five states (Oregon, Washington, Massachus…
Britain, the Two World Wars, and the Problem of Narrative
The concept of coming to terms with the past originated in post-1945 West Germany but such historical therapy is evident in all the belligerent countries. In that process, the two world wars are intricately connected, each seen refractively through the prism of the other. This article focuses on Britain whose national obsession with the two world wars is particularly acute. The first and second sections suggest that British public discourse has b…
The Cambridge History of the Second World War: Volume 2, Politics and Ideology
War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-eight eminent historians, Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war's origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers expressin…

Educational effectiveness research (EER): A state-of-the-art review
Research and scholarship into educational effectiveness research (EER) is comprehensively reviewed from the UK, The Netherlands, the US, Cyprus, Belgium, Sweden, France, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, and other societies, dating from the field’s origins in the 1970s. Issues include its history, methodological and theoretical advances, scientific properties of school effects, processes at school and classroom level behind these effects, the some…
Opportunity and Justice: Building a Valuable and Sustainable Educational Experience for Disenfranchised and Disengaged Youth
Building a valuable and sustainable educational experience for disenfranchised and disengaged youth remains a challenge for secondary schools. This article examines successful schools located in areas of deprivation through the lens of Rawlsianism, particularly those ideas stated in A Theory of Justice (1971). Case studies from 16 schools located in England and Wales are examined for characteristics identified by heads, teachers and pupils which …
The Cost of Geography: Europe's International History Between the Wars, 1918–1939
‘Geography costs – why does the map of Europe never stay put?’ The American poet Carl Sandburg posed that question in 1940 as the European continent was engulfed by another great conflict, the second in a generation. The course and conduct of the two world wars continue to dominate publishers’ lists but several recent volumes offer stimulating interpretations of Europe's international history during the intervening twenty years. They shed a sober…

Empire, Region, World: The International Context of Australian Foreign Policy since 1939
What have been the most important factors in international relations for Australian foreign-policymakers over the last sixty years? Five broad themes stand out: the end of empire; Cold War dependency; the changing nature of security; economic development; and race and national identity. Cumulatively, and often in intertwined ways, these themes have amounted to little short of a revolution in Australia's place in the world since the Second World W…
International History, the Cultural Turn and the Diplomatic Twitch
To many cultural and social historians, international history (an updated version of diplomatic history) may seem old hat. This essay looks at how the field has developed under pressure from changes in the historical discipline and examines the impact of the ‘cultural turn’ through recent work on gender, memory and ‘otherness'. But the essay also raises questions about this new ‘culturalist’ international history, especially what to do with the n…

From World War to Cold War: The Wartime Alliance and Post-War Transitions, 1941–1947
This review examines some of the recent British, American, and Russian scholarship on a series of important international transitions that occurred in the years around 1945. One is the shift of global leadership from Great Britain to the United States, in which, it is argued, the decisive moment was the fall of France in 1940. Another transition is the emergence of a wartime alliance between Britain and America, on the one hand, and the Soviet Un…
World War II and Modern Meanings
If, as Warren Kimball argues, U.S. diplomatic historians have been obsessed with the Cold War, that is not surprising. Competition with the Soviet Union defined U.S. politics, economy, and culture for a half a century to a far greater degree than for most of the NATO alliance. Outside the United States, however, World War II has not been marginalized from the agenda of history or politics. That is partly because writing about the conflict has bee…

The Past, Present and Future of School Improvement: Towards the Third Age
The article outlines the three phases that school improvement has been through since the mid‐1980s, paying particular attention to the characteristics of the recent ‘third age’ improvement paradigm. It is argued that these new models of improvement stand a chance of overcoming the difficulties that past improvement has had in affecting outcomes, and a number of areas of potential development for the paradigm are outlined for it to fulfil its prom…
Living Wage Campaigns as Social Movements: Experiences from Nine Cities
Ever since Baltimore passed its pioneering law in 1994, a living wage movement has come to life across the nation. Today, more than 63 municipalities have living wage ordinances in place— thanks largely to coalitions of unions and community and religious groups. In a recent article in Labor Studies Journal, Bruce Nissen raised the question of the extent to which these campaigns can be considered social movements. For his Miami case Nissen found t…

Coalition Politics: Insurgent Union Political Action Builds Ties Between Labor and the Community
Discussions for revitalizing the labor movement include a frequent call for build ing labor-community coalitions as well as reactivating a more activist brand of electoral politics. This paper illustrates how unions have used aggressive political action to establish lasting coalitions with the community. Our examples draw from the work of the fledgling New Party, Connecticut's Legislative and Electoral Ac tion Program, and the mushrooming living …

Using the reality of the grassroots upsurge which supported Jesse Jackson's 1988 campaign as a reference point, we sketch out three major aspects of the emerging potential: the expansion of the left's constituency, the co…

Changing comprehensive schools
After a slow start, in changing from traditional school models, comprehensive schools have more recently been changing in ethos, curriculum and organisation as shown by a local study in Wales.

This article considers what effects new educational policies may have on this ‘radicalisation’ of the comprehensive sec…

Fulcrum of the Twentieth Century
Reynolds’ argument is that the fall of France in 1940 was decisive in shaping the pattern of international politics after the Second World War. By drawing the United States and the Soviet Union into the European war, the German victory in France accelerated the rise of the superpowers in the postwar world and the development of the global Cold War competition. For the continental powers it discredited the assertion of national sovereignty and pro…

Beyond Bipolarity in Space and Time
In November 1990, George Bush made it official. “The Cold War is over,” the president proclaimed in Paris, finally echoing what had been Mikhail Gorbachev's refrain for more than a year.1 From a historical perspective, one might question the now-pervasive use of the term “Cold War” to embrace the whole post-1945 era. It is perhaps more correct to talk about alternating phases of Cold War and détente within an overall Soviet-American antagonism—he…
