I argue that Adorno and Horkheimer's articulation of an alternative…

Masculinity Matters for Meat Consumption
Previous research shows that men eat more meat than women. We explore the extent to which self-rated gender typicality explains differences in meat consumption intentions and behaviour.

Identifying Chicago’s High Users of Police-Involved Emergency Services
Objectives. To identify individuals at risk for behavioral health (BH)–involved encounters with police in Chicago, Illinois. Methods.

We identified at-risk individuals who accumulated at least 1 BH-involved ambulance and at least 1 arrest event between May 2016 and April 2017. We identified a high-use subgroup displaying most intensive ser…
