Balancing utopian and dystopian paradigms: Trust, values, and AI literacy in generative AI adoption
How does a name shape a place? The performativity of urban branding in the case of Songdo, South Korea
Socially constructed urban branding not only revises the identity and structure of a city but also influences legislation, planning and policy mobility. To overcome the narrow view of the existing debate over whether or not Songdo is a smart city, a performative approach is adopted, focusing on the impact of a succession of urban branding slogans and the symbolic and discursive imaging of Songdo on the evolution of political processes of city dev…
We don’t talk about Trauma: El Salvadorians and Community Trauma
This article draws upon data from a Canadian study funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The focus was on how trauma has been experienced by three communities who have been historically marginalized: The El Salvadorian community, Indigenous peoples and those identifying as 2STLGBQIA+. The focus of this article is on the Salvadorian diaspora in Canada, which has the shared experience of historical colonial trauma; on-going…
Fascist aspirants: Fascist Forge and ideological learning in the extreme-right online milieu
Learning in extremist settings is often treated as operational, with little regard to how aspiring participants in extremist settings engage with complex and abstract ideological material. This paper examines learning in the context of the amorphous network of digital channels that compose the extreme-right online milieu. Through an in-depth qualitative analysis, we explore how well the prevailing model of extremist ideological learning (in ‘comm…

Ideological Transmission in Extremist Contexts: Towards a Framework of How Ideas Are Shared
Despite their centrality in academic and policy debates about radicalization and political violence, ideologies have been conceived narrowly, as cognitive, top-down, coherent and systematic. In general, those who have used the concept of ideology have failed to draw on ideological theory or on recent insights about its practice and embodiment, or location in space and time. Our interest is less in the content of ideology than in how it is shared …
Deriving the Derivative
The anthropology of finance has been dominated by ethnographic field research and the performativity thesis advanced by Donald Mackenzie and Michel Callon. This essay takes a different tack and proposes a semiotic framework to look at the central concept in derivative finance, that of volatility. Volatility has also been increasingly important in our contemporary culture and politics of volatility, suggesting that the implications of the concept …
Designing sustainable landuse in a 1.5 °C world: The complexities of projecting multiple ecosystem services from land
Land provides a range of critical services for humanity (including the provision of food, water and energy). It also provides many services that are often socially valuable but may not have a market value. Demand projections for land-based services, accounting for the significant requirement for negative emissions needed to meet a 1.5 °C pathway, may exceed what can be sustainably supplied. It is therefore critical to explore how to optimise land…
Informal Countermessaging: The Potential and Perils of Informal Online Countermessaging
Online countermessaging—communication that seeks to disrupt the online content disseminated by extremist groups and individuals—is a core component of contemporary counterterrorism strategies. Countermessaging has been heavily criticized, not least on the grounds of effectiveness. Whereas current debates are focused on the role of government and large organizations in developing and disseminating countermessages, this article argues that such app…
It’s not paranoia when they are really out to get you’: The role of conspiracy theories in the context of heightened security
Conspiracy theories have been seen as important supporting components in extreme political beliefs. This paper considers conspiracy theories in the counter jihad movement, an international network combining cultural nationalism with xenophobia towards Muslims. This paper evaluates the nature of conspiracy belief through the analysis of several key texts published by counter jihad activists, and of content published on a daily basis by three core …
Looking Out or Turning in? Organizational Ramifications of Online Political Posters on Facebook
Academic analysis of the growth and nature of political campaigning online has concentrated largely on textual interactions between politicians, parties, their members, and supporters, as well as voters more widely. In evaluating the shift from traditional to online campaigning techniques, the use of social media’s increasingly visual capabilities has been comparatively neglected in research. This article considers one type of online visual polit…
A Day in the “Swamp”: Understanding Discourse in the Online Counter-Jihad Nebula
The counter-jihad scene can be understood variously as a collection of parties, pundits, and movements all linked by a common belief that the West is being subjected to takeover by Muslims. In this article, I seek to improve academic understanding of this collection of movements, parties, and ideas by analyzing the discourse presented by a collection of online advocates whom I describe as the counter-jihad nebula. The findings suggest a need to a…
Macro Practice--Cornerstone of Our Profession
Since 1973, my journey as a social worker has woven through the macro and micro elements of our profession. As a newly minted BSW in 1973, I was eager to practice therapy, develop programming, and influence public policy that affected my role as a juvenile corrections counselor. My undergraduate program exposed me to both the micro (clinical practice) and the macro (policy, administration, community organization, and social planning) aspects of b…
Party organizational change and ICTs: The growth of a virtual grassroots
This paper examines the relationship between unofficial party blogs and official party sources in the UK using a mixed-method approach. Specifically we combine interview data with content analysis, user surveys and usage data, and finally hyperlink analysis to profile the emergence, popularity, audience and online prominence of four major party blogs since 2005. The core question posed is how far the blogs are challenging parties as the focal poi…
Global financial crisis and job satisfaction of atypical workers: The case of Taiwan
Since September 2008, global and regional employment markets have been seriously undermined as a result of the global financial crisis. This article analyses how the Taiwanese labour market, particularly the market for atypical labour, has been affected by the current global financial crisis and examines whether workers have experienced a significant difference in their level of job satisfaction (JS) as a result of the crisis. The path analysis f…

Our respondents consisted of 109 active female sex workers, mainly streetwalkers or sex workers who worked in villas. During a 30-minute interview, respondents were interviewed individually and were asked questions regarding their condom use practice. These questions were designed to measure various factors a…
Noninvasive technique for the repeated sampling of salivary free cortisol in awake, unrestrained squirrel monkeys
The use of noninvasive measures of hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis function is of growing interest among preclinical and clinical investigators. This report describes a method for the repeated assessment of salivary free cortisol in awake, unrestrained squirrel monkeys ( Saimiri sciureus ) based on a saliva sampling technique previously developed for rhesus monkeys. Individually housed adult male squirrel monkeys were trained to chew on…
Validity of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist‐25 amongst HIV‐positive pregnant women in Tanzania
Objective: To validate the Hopkins Symptom Checklist‐25 (HSCL‐25) for use as a depression screen amongst human immuno‐deficiency virus (HIV) positive pregnant women. Method: Amongst 903 (mean age 24.8 years) HIV‐positive pregnant women, a two‐phased design included measures for health‐related quality of life, perceived social support, and the HSCL‐25 screen for depressive (HSCL‐15 subscale) and anxiety symptoms. The Structured Clinical Interview …
