University handprint framework: Quantifying the positive impacts of university-led sustainability action research
Purpose This study aims to introduce the University Handprint Framework – a novel method for quantifying the external positive impacts (“handprints”) of sustainability actions undertaken by higher education institutions. It aims to fill a critical gap in current sustainability tracking systems by enabling universities to measure their contributions to societal and environmental outcomes beyond campus boundaries. Design/methodology/approach The st…
Savagism, silencing, and American settlerism: Commemorating the Wyoming battle of the American Revolutionary War
This article explores the role played by savagism in American historical consciousness, focusing on its appearance in settler accounts of the Battle of Wyoming (1778) of the Revolutionary War. The story of Wyoming is told each year in the small town of Wyoming, Pennsylvania in one of the longest-running historical commemorations in the United States. Rather than emphasizing a British foe, however, these celebrations revel in gruesome descriptions…

Settler Colonialism and the Revolutionary War
The centerpiece of New York State’s 150th anniversary of the Sullivan Expedition of 1779 was a pageant, the “Pageant of Decision.” Major General John Sullivan’s Revolutionary War expedition was designed to eliminate the threat posed by Iroquois allied with the British. It was a genocidal operation that involved the destruction of over forty Indian villages. This article explores the motivations and tactics of state officials as they endeavored to…
Measured, opportunistic, unexpected and naïve quitting: A qualitative grounded theory study of the process of quitting from the ex-smokers’ perspective
Quitting typically included elements of spontaneity (impulsive behaviour) and preparation (reflective behaviour), and, importantly, the investment of time and cognitive effort by participants prior to quitting. Remarkably few participants quit completely out-of-the-blue with little or no preparation. Findings are discussed in relation to stages-of-change theory, catastrophe theory, and dual process theories, focusing on how dual process theories …
Revealing the complexity of quitting smoking: A qualitative grounded theory study of the natural history of quitting in Australian ex-smokers
Quitting should be viewed as a process drawing on elements of assisted and unassisted quitting rather than a stand-alone event that can be labelled as strictly assisted or unassisted
Finding Qualitative Research Evidence for Health Technology Assessment
Health technology assessment (HTA) agencies increasingly use reviews of qualitative research as evidence for evaluating social, experiential, and ethical aspects of health technologies. We systematically searched three bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Social Science Citation Index [SSCI]) using published search filters or "hedges" and our hybrid filter to identify qualitative research studies pertaining to chronic obstructive pulmona…
Interlopers of empire: The Lebanese diaspora in colonial French West Africa
The arbitrary nature of colonial-era racial classification schemes is sometimes best revealed through an exploration of intermediary populations. In Interlopers of Empire, Arsan offers such an anal
Thoroughly Mixed Yet Thoroughly Ethnic: Indexing Class with Ethnonyms
This article considers the roles played by ethnic mentions, or ethnonyms, in the discursive reconstruction of a former neighborhood in E aston, P ennsylvania, “Syrian Town.” We argue that these labels engage in the production of ethnic difference by depicting a social world composed of discrete types while presupposing a local class divide and a contrasting neighborhood imagined as elite and privileged. In this way, speakers narrating stories of …

Thinking About Makin’ It: Black Canadian Students’ Beliefs Regarding Education and Academic Achievement
Heteroglossia, "common sense," and social memory
In this article I analyze internally contradictory narratives articulated by former settlers of Algeria. By adopting a discourse-centered approach to these stories of colonial assimilation, I show that what are often described as "commonsense" forms in popular memory can be viewed as examples of Bakhtinian heteroglossia. Passages from taped conversations illustrate multiple voices in dynamic interaction. Research in cognitive anthropology and psy…

Europe's Invisible Migrants: Consequences of the Colonists' Return
Following the decolonization movements that swept the globe after World War II, between four and six million people were 'returned' to Europe from the colonies. From an exporter of people, Europe turned to a site of immigration for the first time in the twentieth century. Until now, these migrations have been overlooked as scholars have highlighted instead the parallel migrations of former 'colonized' peoples. Europe's Invisible Migrants corrects…
