From opposition to government: How populist parties change their political communication in Northern Ireland
Political communication is central to the electoral ascension of populist parties across the world. Several studies investigate how communication is used by populists to gain power, but we know very little about how the communication varies when moving between opposition and government office. The few studies on the topic focus exclusively on right-wing populist parties and neglect left-wing populism. This article addresses this gap in the litera…

Realigning Funds of Identity with struggle against capital: The contradictory unity of use and exchange value in cultural fields
The Funds of Knowledge (FOK) and Funds of Identity (FOI) approaches have demonstrated potential in engaging school curricula with the lived experiences of disadvantaged communities. However, both approaches are not without critique. Our own previous work (drawing on Bourdieu) highlights how FOK/FOI methodologies can result in surfacing exchange value (capital) in the home in ways that re-position some students’ access to the school curriculum, wh…

Photojournalism and the Moss Side Riots of 1981: Narrowly Selective Transparency
In the summer of 1981 a series of riots broke out across England. Here we look at the contemporary photojournalism of the Moss Side, Manchester, riots in the local newspaper, the Manchester Evening News, in order to better understand the riots and media representation of riots more generally. We begin by exploring the contradictory nature of photography (and news photography in particular) - what Susan Sontag refers to as photography's narrowly s…
Consensus framework for good assessment
Introduction: In 2010, the Ottawa Conference produced a set of consensus criteria for good assessment. These were well received and since then the working group monitored their use. As part of the 2010 report, it was recommended that consideration be given in the future to preparing similar criteria for systems of assessment. Recent developments in the field suggest that it would be timely to undertake that task and so the working group was recon…
Juvenile Age Estimation Using Diaphyseal Long Bone Lengths Among Ancient Maya Populations
Standards for diaphyseal lengths of the femur, humerus, and tibia that can be used in juvenile age estimation for the ancient Maya are presented. It is argued that these new standards are necessary given differences in stature and limb proportion in Mesoamerican groups compared to the prehistoric North American groups upon whom the current available standards have been developed. Using data from 96 juveniles in the protohistoric Maya series from …

Performance-Based Assessment: Lessons from the Health Professions
Performance-based assessment methods have been used in the health professions for centuries, and dozens of studies of their psychometric characteristics have been reported over the past several decades. During that period, the health professions have seen a variety of performance-based assessment methods come and go, and some hard lessons have been learned from the many studies and frequent missteps. This article shares some of those lessons, usi…
Assessment of Clinical Competence: Written and Computer‐based Simulations
Written and computer‐based clinical simulations have been used in the health professions to assess aspects of clinical competence for many years. However, this review of the dozens of studies of their psychometric characteristics fmds little evidence to justify their continued use. While studies of the fidelity of simulations have demonstrated that examinees feel they are realistic and have good face validity, reliability studies have repeatedly …
