Physiological synchrony amongst medical residents during crisis management simulation training and a video-based assessment of leaders’ performance
Complex learning dynamics exist in ecologically valid collaborative learning environments, such as medical simulation training. Although medical scenarios are known to elicit emotional responses, the role of these emotions in shaping team performance is often overlooked. Physiological synchrony (PS) offers a promising lens to explore these emotional dynamics and, when integrated with multimodal learning analytics, can enhance our understanding of…
A valued task makes students sweat: Investigating the link between situational motivational beliefs and electrodermal activity in collaborative learning
Current academic motivation research emphasizes the situational, contextual, and process-sensitive nature of motivation. However, evidence on changes in students’ motivational beliefs during learning situations, particularly in the context of collaborative learning, is lacking. Capturing these dynamic changes requires novel methods that can indicate students’ motivation unobtrusively throughout the learning process. This study aims to investigate…
Mixed Methods Examination of Challenging and Bothersome Events in Nursing Virtual Simulations: Comparing Screen-Based and Headset VR Modalities
Background: Virtual simulations (VSs) are increasingly utilized to train nursing students for clinical practice, yet few tools to evaluate VS quality, and little research has examined specific design elements that impact user experience across different modalities. Comparative evidence between screen-based VS and headset virtual reality (VR) within the same VS scenario is especially limited. Purpose: The primary goal of this study is to identify …
The role of leadership in medical trainee team-regulation dynamics in crisis resource management simulation education
Medical trainees' emotions and their effects on perceptions of performance and team mood in team‐based simulations
BACKGROUND: Emotions affect performance in learning contexts; however, their effects on medical trainees' performance in highly ecologically valid settings, like team-based simulation training, are not well understood. It is therefore imperative to know which emotions are experienced by medical trainees and the impacts of these emotions on perceptions of performance and team mood. AIMS: To extend the understanding of medical trainees' emotions in…
The Epistemic Violence of Transitional Justice: A View from Sri Lanka
In this article I explore the failures of transitional justice in post-war Sri Lanka. For most commentators this is simply explained in terms of a lack of political will. However, I argue that beyond this transitional justice in Sri Lanka is a story of epistemic violence. This is a result of its over-reliance on abstract, universalist liberal democratic theory that fails to properly grasp the historical, cultural and socio-political specificity n…
Privilege, Precarity and the Epistemic and Political Challenge of Covid-19
Much of my initial shock at lockdown was the result of a loss of privilege. As a middle class professional working mother and a transnational scholar, I have constructed a life based on movement and freedom. Yes, I have ties that bind me: I am a single parent and a recent migrant to London, meaning my support network is somewhat limited. But with money I have been able to secure childcare and my career has allowed me to live simultaneously across…
The Role of Victims in Transitional Justice: Agency, Cooption and Exclusion
Over the last seven years I have been working as a human rights researcher and practitioner in Sri Lanka, a context where debates about transitional justice (TJ) have been contentious and sustained. In this light I enthusiastically accepted to review the three books that are the subject of this essay. Their focus on the role and responses of victims was of particular interest as I watched the unfolding protests across Sri Lanka, in which families…

Human rights and everyday practices of policing in post-war Sri Lanka
The introduction of human rights as a core competency in policing has been witnessed globally. However, it has been even more strongly promoted in post-war/post-atrocity societies. Sri Lanka has been no exception as a site for initiatives aimed at promoting human rights within the law enforcement sector. In order to explore the impact of these post-war human rights training and reform initiatives in Sri Lanka, we conducted research between Februa…

Preventing Human Rights Violations 'From the Inside: Enhancing the Role of Human Rights Education in Security Sector Reform
Drawing on a current project working on the prevention of torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and punishment with the security sectors of two post-conflict developing societies -Nepal and Sri Lanka -this article explores the trends in human rights education and the theoretical, contextual and practical challenges arising from interventions, and proposes some preliminary thoughts on ways forward. We argue that while th…
Reclaiming the Voice of the ‘Third World Woman’: But What Do We Do When We Don't Like What She Has to Say? The Tricky Case of Ayaan Hirsi Ali
While conservative Somali writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali has become a widely recognized and acclaimed figure in the West, she has generally been ignored or derided by postcolonial feminists. This has largely been due to her extremely provocative and often offensive statements regarding Islam and Muslim immigrants in the West. While Hirsi Ali is clearly problematic, in this essay I argue that engagement with her is both necessary and useful. On the one ha…
The Protection of Sexual Autonomy under International Criminal Law: The International Criminal Court and the Challenge of Defining Rape
The express inclusion of various crimes of gender-based and sexual violence in the Rome Statute is closely connected with the increased international attention given to these crimes in recent years, most particularly in the form of prosecutions by the ad hoc tribunals. However, while these first prosecutions were celebrated as revolutionary, a conflict has emerged between the consent-based and the broader coercive circumstance approaches to rape.…
Australia, the Feminist Nation? Discourses of Gender, 'Culture' and Nation in the 'K Brothers' Gang Rapes
This paper examines the discourses of gender and nation that circulated in relation to a series of highly mediatised Australian gang rapes. The rapes, which took place in the suburbs of Sydney in the early 2000s, were widely reported as involving ‘young Muslim men’ raping ‘Australian girls’. These rapes and the legal trials that followed created two dominant responses. First, there was a generalised debate about the need for greater protection of…
Rape in Conflict, Rape in Peace: Questioning the Revolutionary Potential of International Criminal Justice for Women's Human Rights
The advantages and the changes that have been brought about the international criminal justice in the human rights and status of women in the society are critically analyzed. The various issues that are related to the method of prosecution currently specified by the international criminal law are also discussed
