Implications of climate change impacts for emission and land use scenario development
Scenarios of future emissions and land use produced by Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have traditionally been developed without accounting for how climate change impacts could affect the emissions and land use trajectories themselves. This omission risks skewing our assessments of the plausible range of future emission pathways and associated Earth system changes. Beyond the salience for emission scenario development, a better integrated rep…
Australian Teen Voices on Age Verification and Age Assurance Measures
Age verification and age assurance technologies, including biometrics, facial recognition software and digital identification, have been explored as potential measures to restrict access of young people to social media and sexually explicit media (SEM), including pornography. However, there is limited data regarding how teens targeted by such restrictions feel about such strategies. Drawing on qualitative interviews with Australian teens and pre‐…
“I don’t think I’ve been permanently scarred or anything”
Introduction In 2021, the (Irish) “National Survey of Children, Their Parents, and Adults Regarding Online Safety” (NACOS) showed that 18% of 9- to 17-year-olds reported seeing sexual content on the Internet in the past year. For comparison, the “EU Kids Online” 2020 study of 19 European countries reported an average of 33% of 9- to 16-year-olds seeing such images in the past year, positioning Ireland very much at the lower end of the European sp…
Progressing children’s right to be heard in public decision-making
Children’s right to be heard is expressed in Article 12 of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. Mechanisms and methods to facilitate the inclusion of young people’s views have been developed by youth workers, advocates and policy-makers and include diverse consultation approaches, including surveys, polls, consultation meetings and formal structures such as youth parliaments. Even though social and digital media are now pervasive in th…
A framework for complex climate change risk assessment
Real-world experience underscores the complexity of interactions among multiple drivers of climate change risk and of how multiple risks compound or cascade. However, a holistic framework for assessing such complex climate change risks has not yet been achieved. Clarity is needed regarding the interactions that generate risk, including the role of adaptation and mitigation responses. In this perspective, we present a framework for three categorie…
Return to Fort Rock Cave
Oregon's Fort Rock Cave is iconic in respect to both the archaeology of the northern Great Basin and the history of debate about when the Great Basin was colonized. In 1938, Luther Cressman recovered dozens of sagebrush bark sandals from beneath Mt. Mazama ash that were later radiocarbon dated to between 10,500 and 9350 cal B.P. In 1970, Stephen Bedwell reported finding lithic tools associated with a date of more than 15,000 cal B.P., a date dism…

Peer Discussion and Client Motivation in Men's Domestic Violence Programs
Relationships Australia NSW and Baptist Community Services NSW & ACT, through its BCS LifeCare Counselling & Family Services program, collaborated to explore client perceptions of men's domestic violence programs. Recruitment targeted male clients and their female partners, across six locations in New South Wales, Australia. In total, 63 qualitative interviews were gathered from 28 participants, between 2007 and 2009, at program intake, program c…
Revitalising Audience Research
The revitalisation of audience studies is not only about new approaches and methods; it entails a crossing of disciplines and a bridging of long-established boundaries in the field. The aim of this volume is to capture the boundary-crossing processes that have begun to emerge across the discipline in the form of innovative, interdisciplinary interventions in the audience research agenda. Contributions to this volume seek to further this process t…

Using Written Vignettes in Focus Groups Among Older Adults to Discuss Oral Health as a Sensitive Topic
When the mouth yields pain and distress, it can impact psychosocially the lives of older adults and might constitute a sensitive topic for open disclosure. In this article, we describe our use of a written vignette in focus groups for discussion of oral health and disablement. Six focus groups were conducted with 42 older men and women with an average age of 75 years who were purposefully selected through advertisements posted in community center…
Where next with global environmental scenarios
Scenarios have become a standard tool in the portfolio of techniques that scientists and policy-makers use to envision and plan for the future. Defined as plausible, challenging and relevant stories about how the future might unfold that integrate quantitative models with qualitative assessments of social and political trends, scenarios are a central component in assessment processes for a range of global issues, including climate change, biodive…
Anthropogenic Drivers of Ecosystem Change

Toward Social Justice
Social work is committed to promoting social justice, inclusion and the empowerment of people. Qualitative research methods offer exciting possibilities for operationalizing this commitment. Drawing predominantly on constructivist and/or critical paradigms for understanding, qualitative research fosters a rebalancing of power within the researcher/researchee relationship and encourages a focus on marginalized understandings and experiences.

“… We Didn't Connect at All …”
This article presents a case study of an episode of service delivery in which a gay man sought counseling in relation to his sexuality from an AIDS service organization. The design was based on institutional ethnography, a research approach that focuses on discovering links between the experiences of marginalized people and the influence of oppressive ideologies on social institutions. Using a narrative approach to data analysis, I show concretel…
Lifting the veil
This article examines the role played by broadcasting in Irish artistic and cultural life from independence in 1922 to 1960 with the onset of formal modernization. It examines the cultural context for the arts in early independent Ireland in which a mood of ambivalence and sometimes outright hostility to high culture prevailed. Rather than a profound disjunction between pre- and post-modernizing phases of Irish history, however, this article argu…
Institutional Ethnography
As new approaches to the development of knowledge emerge in the social sciences, there is a need to judge their appropriateness for use in social work research. Using criteria for assessing the goodness of fit between theories and social work values, this article evaluates institutional ethnography, a strategyfor studying institutions which is based on feminist standpoint theory. The author holds that the use of institutional ethnography in socia…
Factors Associated with Observed Safety Belt Use
Death and injury in motor vehicle crashes can be greatly reduced by the use of safety belts. Studies based on claimed use result in inflated estimates of use and questionable correlations with social and other factors. This study of visually observed driver's use or nonuse of safety belts found education, comfort and convenience ratings of safety belts, having had a friend injured in a crash, and not smoking while driving to be additively associa…
Blood Alcohol Levels in Drivers Not Involved in Accidents and the Lognormal Distribution
Recent conclusions, based on lognormal probability distributions, concerning the proportion of impaired drivers in nonaccident-involved populations are shown to be mathematically incorrect. The distribution of blood alcohol concentrations from one gronp of nonaccident drivers is significantly different from the best fitting two-parameter lognormal distribution. Reducing the mean of all drivers' blood alcohol concentrations will not necessarily re…
