Gendered resistances and emotions to neo-liberalism in a post-1992 university in England
Purpose In this paper we explore the gendered ways in which academic staff resistance and compliance is configured in a post-1992 University in England, including the emotions implicated in the navigation of neo-liberalisation and research intensification of their academic institution and its associated disciplinarian mechanisms. Design/methodology/approach We draw on data from an interview study of a diverse sample of 32 academics of different g…
How Partisan Is Local Election Administration
In the United States, elections are often administered by directly elected local officials who run as members of a political party. Do these officials use their office to give their party an edge in elections? Using a newly collected dataset of nearly 5,900 clerk elections and a close-election regression discontinuity design, we compare counties that narrowly elect a Democratic election administrator to those that narrowly elect a Republican. We …
John Clifford, (1836–1923)
This paper provides background and context for a day conference marking the centenary of the death of the Revd John Clifford, a leading British Baptist minister of the late 19th and early 20th century. Brought up in a working class home on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border, Clifford was trained at the Leicester General Baptist College, and spent his entire ministry at Praed Street/Westbourne Park Baptist Church in West London. There he studie…
Do citizens vote against incumbents who permit local immigration? Evidence from the Mariel Boatlift
Does exposure to a mass migration event cause citizens to vote against incumbents? I offer an answer to this question by studying one of the largest acute periods of migration in the US, the case of the 1980 Mariel Boatlift during which roughly 125,000 Cubans fled to South Florida. I estimate the change in support for Republican presidential candidates in Miami using the synthetic control method and fixed effects regressions with a panel of count…

How Partisan Is Local Law Enforcement? Evidence from Sheriff Cooperation with Immigration Authorities
Is local law enforcement conducted differently based on the party in power? I offer an answer to this question by focusing on a case in which law enforcement is elected and has meaningful independent discretion: sheriff compliance with federal requests to detain unauthorized immigrants. Using a regression discontinuity design in a new dataset of over 3,200 partisan sheriff elections and administrative data on sheriff behavior, I find that Democra…
A Triangular Conflict
The idea that the churches became agents of empire through their missionary activity is very popular, but it is too simple. Established Churches, such as those of England and Scotland, could certainly be used by government, usually willingly; so could the Roman Catholic Church in the empires of other countries. But the position of the smaller churches, usually with no settler community behind them, was different. This study examines the effects o…
Who Punishes Extremist Nominees? Candidate Ideology and Turning Out the Base in US Elections
Political observers, campaign experts, and academics alike argue bitterly over whether it is more important for a party to capture ideologically moderate swing voters or to encourage turnout among hardcore partisans. The behavioral literature in American politics suggests that voters are not informed enough, and are too partisan, to be swing voters, while the institutional literature suggests that moderate candidates tend to perform better. We sp…
Mothers’ self-reported grocery shopping behaviours with their 2- to 7-year-old children
Objective To assess relationships between mothers’ feeding practices (food as a reward, food for emotion regulation, modelling of healthy eating) and mothers’ willingness to purchase child-marketed foods and fruits/vegetables (F&V) requested by their children during grocery co-shopping. Design Cross-sectional. Mothers completed an online survey that included questions about feeding practices and willingness (i.e. intentions) to purchase child-req…

The Enlightenment, the late eighteenth-century revolutions and their aftermath
The word ‘secular’ originally distinguished parochial clergy from those in religious orders; more generally it distinguished civil political power from that of the church. ‘Secularisation’ was used to describe the appropriation of church property by the (secular) state, for example, Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in England. The word therefore presumes opposition. As scientific methods of inquiry became more sophisticated from the se…
Religion and the Political Imagination
The theory of secularisation became a virtually unchallenged truth of twentieth-century social science. First sketched out by Enlightenment philosophers, then transformed into an irreversible global process by nineteenth-century thinkers, the theory was given substance by the precipitate drop in religious practice across Western Europe in the 1960s. However, the re-emergence of acute conflicts at the interface between religion and politics has co…
Evaluation of a community-based participatory physical activity promotion project
A successful participatory program was associated with improvements in several CVD risk factors among school employees. Limitations of this study such as seasonal variation in the outcome variables and lack of a control group limit our ability to draw solid conclusions about the effectiveness of the intervention
Land-Use Change and Livestock Production Challenges in an Integrated System
Participatory rural appraisal techniques and a survey of 100 households were used to evaluate livestock production, and pastoral development of the Maasai in Mara. It was observed that patterns of land-use have principally changed from nomadic pastoralism to sedentary pastoralism, agropastoralism, and, in some cases, pure cultivation. These trends have adversely affected livestock production and the productive capacity of the Mara ecosystem. Dimi…

War, The Nation, and the Kingdom of God
The National Mission of Repentance and Hope, launched by the archbishops of Canterbury and York and led by the bishop of London in the autumn of 1916, has not been regarded as one of the more successful episodes in the history of the Church of England. Hensley Henson, who can always be relied upon for a suitable comment, called it ‘a grave, practical blunder’, whilst a very different type of churchman, Conrad Noel, called it ‘the Mission of Funk …

Church Extension in Town and Countryside in Later Nineteenth-Century Leicestershire
Studies of nineteenth-century urban religion have often been conducted with very little reference to the surrounding countryside.

Only through Methodism did the towns have…

Theological and Sociological Approaches to the Motivation of the Ecumenical Movement
‘Ecumenicalism is assumed to be the will of God, and is less discussed than eulogized.... In belittling old conflicts and veiling new, the ecumenical movement obscures past and present alike’. This assertion from the introduction to Robert Currie’s study of division and reunion in methodism constitutes a challenge to historians of the modern church which cannot be ignored. The significance of the ecumenical movement is acknowledged by both its pr…
The politics of the enabling act (1919)
I doubt whether any event in the constitutional history of Church and State (wrote Randall Davidson in February 1921) has ever been wrought out with so little friction, and on so smooth a current as this great change ... I think it is indisputable that if we had failed in December 1919 to get through Parliament what is popularly known as the Enabling Bill, we might have waited for it for many a long year with increasing and most harmful loss of e…
