Excess Structure in the Constrained Hamiltonian Formalism
Gauge theories are often characterized as possessing ‘redundancy’ or ‘excess structure’. This, in turn, motivates reducing the gauge symmetries, commonly through ‘symplectic reduction’ in the Hamiltonian framework. However, there are multiple ways to formulate a Hamiltonian gauge theory. This paper examines the relationship between the formulation of a Hamiltonian gauge theory and the attribution of excess structure. I argue that one can formulat…
Do First-Class Constraints Generate Gauge Transformations? A Geometric Resolution
The Representational Role of Sophisticated Theories
Dewar (2019) argues that removing excess structure via “sophistication” can have explanatory benefits to removing excess structure via “reduction.” In this paper, I argue that a more robust reason to prefer sophisticated theories is that they have representational benefits
Mathematical Responses to the Hole Argument
We argue that several apparently distinct responses to the hole argument, all invoking formal or mathematical considerations, should be viewed as a unified “mathematical response.” We then consider and rebut two prominent critiques of the mathematical response before reflecting on what is ultimately at issue in this literature
The Non-equivalence of Einstein and Lorentz
In this article, I give a counterexample to a claim made in (Norton [2008]) that empirically equivalent theories can often be regarded as theoretically equivalent by treating one as having surplus structure, thereby overcoming the problem of underdetermination of theory choice. The case I present is that of Lorentz’s ether theory and Einstein’s theory of special relativity. I argue that Norton’s suggestion that surplus structure is present in Lor…
Anti-Trafficking (ILL-)Efforts
Global imaginations on human trafficking have been captured by a robust mythology that constructs the consenting Third World sex worker as simply a victim of trafficking for sexual exploitation. This anti-trafficking discourse has influenced Cambodia’s legal reform, which has resulted in an increase of abuse against sex workers and has denied Cambodian women their right to marry foreign men. Despite evidence indicating the diversity of the sex in…

Women's Power, Children's Labor
Data coded for 91 Standard Cross-Cultural Sample Societies are used to examine the sexual division of labor between adults and children cross-culturally. Results from cross-tabulations of 15 adults' and children's activities in these societies indicate that women are the main recipients of the benefits of children's labor. The gender of the child is the main determinant of children's work assignment. Children of both genders in most societies per…

The Sexual Division of Labor and the Value of Children
Multivariate analysis is used in a cross-cultural study to determine the relationship between the sexual division of labor in a number of subsistence tasks and the value of children. The results demonstrate that children's work is affected by the adult sexual division of labor. Furthermore, the presence of domesticated animals in a community may increase the value of children. Where large animals are present, men participate in animal husbandry, …
