Children's food activism
Children as activists have become more prominent in recent years. Their activism is manifest in relation to conspicuously political topics such as Black Lives Matter, voting rights, being able to air their views or protesting against injustices related to race, culture and other identities. Less often, if at all, do children engage politically with issues related to food. In discussing questions of food activism, this article draws on reflections…
Humour as playful resistance
This article examines how humour functions in refugee ESOL classrooms as an affective, interactional, and pedagogical resource. Refugee learners may enter language classrooms with experiences of displacement, uncertainty, and linguistic marginalisation; yet humour in these settings remains under-theorised, especially in relation to trauma-informed pedagogy. Drawing on 85 hours of classroom observations, interviews with teachers and learners, and …
Theorising Respect and Disrespect by and About Children and Young People
Respect is a foundational moral and social value, yet its conceptualisation by and about children and young people remains underexplored. This systematic qualitative literature review examines how respect and disrespect are theorised, defined or conceptualised in relation to children and young people, and the extent to which their perspectives are represented in schools, higher education, care and community settings. Guided by PRISMA protocols, 1…
Where are the adults?’
Children's political participation is a well‐established theme in childhood studies. In this article we offer an original account of child activism that takes into account the entangled and emergent aspect of children as activists. We begin with a historical and a conceptual review, noting the importance of mid‐20th century developments such as May 1968 but tracing their roots to the earlier community‐derived activism of the US civil rights movem…

Bridging the theory and practice of eliciting the voices of young children
To foster children and young people's skills, dispositions and understanding that underpin a voice agenda, practices need to be developed that support this from the earliest age. This article explores issues relating to this complex, challenging and under-researched area from the perspective of practitioners working with children aged from birth to seven. Using vignettes of practice, we explore practical and pedagogical examples and take the oppo…
Collaborative, child-led philosophical inquiry in Religious and Moral Education
Situated in the context of the Scottish Religious and Moral Education (RME) curriculum, this article considers the practice of Community of Philosophical Inquiry (CoPI) and how it supports the RME curriculum. Sharing extracts from children’s CoPI sessions, the article reflects on the ways in which ten and eleven year-old children discuss religious and theological ideas philosophically. The child-led, collaborative approach demonstrates that the c…
Look who’s talking
Grounded in children’s rights, this article advances understanding of the affordances and constraints in implementing Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in educational settings with young children – those under 7. It starts from the premise that if we are to foster democratic skills and understanding in children and young people, we need to develop practices that support this from the earliest age. The article …
Building Bonding and Bridging Capital through the ‘China Club’
Out-of-school activities offered to young people can be discrete activities, completely divorced from school life and school curriculum, or they can offer extensions to normal school curriculum. This article reports on an ethnographic case study that investigated the effectiveness of a particular out-of-school activity, the ‘China Club’. It offered secondary school pupils in the West of Scotland opportunities to learn about Mandarin language and …
Philosophy with Children
In advancing children’s rights, and human rights more broadly, this article supports the view that participation through deliberation by children is desirable. Practising Philosophy with Children, through an approach such as Community of Philosophical Inquiry, is proposed as a powerful way forward as a rights-based means of supporting children to deliberate about matters affecting them in society. In considering that children are educated about, …
Being Children
Situated in the context of children’s rights, this article reports on a study involving children from 11 countries and 5 continents in philosophical discussions about concepts of child and childhood. Here we focus on seven of those countries. In a previous study, two of the authors explored in what kind of society children would like to live. The present study directly addresses one of the issues arising from that study: to investigate what child…
Promoting Human Rights through Philosophy with Children
Whilst much has been written about children’s rights and children’s human rights, little appears to have been said about the place children have in the promotion of human rights. This article considers the concept of child in conjunction with citizenship education to take forward children’s promotion of human rights. It is proposed that one approach, where individuals explore views and come to this through reason, dialogue and community engagemen…
A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Discrimination on the Acculturation Strategies of International Students
The current study investigated the impact of discrimination on the acculturation strategies of international students in the United Kingdom. In a longitudinal study that followed students ( N = 113) for 1 year, the authors drew on social identity theory to understand the processes by which discrimination affects their acculturation strategies. Specifically, the study examined an indirect effect by which perceived discrimination affects acculturat…
Well‐being in cross‐cultural transitions
Two studies examined the effect of acculturation–contact discrepancies on well‐being. Specifically, we tested the prediction that well‐being will be compromised when cultural minorities' acculturation preferences are not met by the intergroup and intragroup contact in a new society. Study 1 found that for Polish immigrants ( n = 55) acculturation–contact discrepancies were associated with compromised well‐being. Study 2 followed a cohort of inter…
A longitudinal investigation of the rejection–identification hypothesis
The rejection–identification model (RIM; ) is supported by a number of previous studies (e.g., ; ). This suggests that rejection by an outgroup can lead minority group members to identify more with their ingroup, thereby buffering them from the negative effects of discrimination. However, contradictory findings have been produced by other research (e.g., ; ; ; ), suggesting that the relationship between rejection and identification is far from be…
Children’s Status, Children’s Rights and ‘dealing with’ Children
Several models of child exist, each maintaining child as something other to adult. Stables asserts: “...how we think about [children] does affect how we deal with them” (2008: 1). Seeing children as becomings is a problem. Here, I would like to consider the recommendations from the most recent United Nations’ report card on the implementation of the UNCRC in the UK and place these against the question of how society ‘deals with’ children and whet…
An experimental manipulation of female perceptions of the status of women
We tested the relationships between female status and mate preferences demonstrated in previous correlational studies in an experimental manipulation of female perceptions of the status of women. To achieve this, 147 female undergraduate students considered either the advantages (positive condition) or disadvantages (negative condition) experienced by women as a result of belonging to the female gender and reported their mate preferences. We hypo…
Female reproductive strategy predicts preferences for sexual dimorphism in male faces
The aim of the current studies was to test an assumption that variation in female preferences for sexually dimorphic male facial characteristics reflects strategic optimisation of investment in offspring. A negative relationship was predicted between ideal number of children and preferences for masculine male face shapes, as the benefits of securing paternal investment should outweigh the benefits of securing good genes as the costs of raising of…
Helping to Improve the Group Stereotype
Three studies consider a basis for intergroup helping. Specifically, they show that group members may help others to disconfirm a stereotype of their own group as mean. Study 1 shows that Scots believe they are seen as mean by the English, resent this stereotype, are motivated to refute it, and believe out-group helping is a particularly effective way of doing so. Study 2 shows that increasing the salience of the English stereotype of the Scottis…
Female Status Predicts Female Mate Preferences Across Nonindustrial Societies
Most studies demonstrating the contribution of economic constraints on women to sex differences in mate preferences have used samples from postindustrial societies with similar social structures. The authors investigate the effects of female status on female mate preferences in a subsection of the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample. Whyte's (1978) codes provide indicators of female status, and mate preferences are obtained through qualitative analysi…

Saving Bulgaria's Jews
This paper investigates the arguments used in public documents to mobilise Bulgarians against the deportation of Jews in World War II. We focus on the key documents relating to the first wave of mobilisation in 1940–1941 as provided by Todorov in The Fragility of Goodness ( 2001 ). We demonstrate that these documents are based on three types of argument. The first, category inclusion, treats the Jews as part of a common ingroup rather than as con…
Perceived Discrimination Among Ethnic Minority Young People
Because of difficulties in objectively determining discrimination, attention has turned to individual differences in perceptions of discrimination. This study aimed to build on such work by investigating the role of psychological variables in predicting perceived discrimination (PD) in a UK sample of ethnic minority young people (n= 154). A series of multiple regression analyses yielded 3 pathways leading to PD. There was a direct effect of gende…
Perceived Discrimination and Psychological Distress
The current study aimed to draw on two theoretical models to examine the relationship between perceived ethnic discrimination and psychological distress in a sample of ethnic minority young people (n = 154). Analysis provided no support for the hypothesis derived from the self-esteem theory of depression that self-esteem (personal and ethnic) moderates the discrimination-distress relationship. There was, however, partial support for a mediating r…

Identity Change in Northern Ireland
This two-wave longitudinal study followed a cohort of young people in Northern Ireland (N = 124) to examine how the transition to university impacts on identity change. Drawing on Stryker's (1968, 1987) identity theory, we examined salience, affective and interactional commitment for five identities: family member, friend, student, national and religious identity. The relative salience of national and religious identities did not change over time…
The good body
An important cultural question is, "What is a 'good'--desirable, beautiful, impressive--body?" The answers are legion; here I examine why bigger bodies represent survival skill, and how this power symbolism is embodied by behaviors that guide larger persons toward the top of the social hierarchy. bigness is a complex concept comprising tallness, boniness, muscularity and fattiness. Data show that most people worldwide want to be big--both tall an…

Assessing Identity Change
The impact of a major life transition on identity change is examined in this longitudinal study. Drawing on a framework provided by symbolic interactionism and identity theory (Stryker, 1968, 1987), we examined global self-esteem, interactional commitment and the identity hierarchies of a group of students while they were in secondary school and, again one year later, when they had made the transition to further or higher education. Overall, the …
Public Beliefs about the Amount of Fiber in Foods
Despite the current interest in fiber in foods and dietary recommendations to increase fiber consumption, relatively little attention has been paid to public beliefs about fiber in foods. We used a mail questionnaire in a sample of 478 adults to assess public beliefs about the amount of fiber in 40 different foods and compared these beliefs with laboratory data about fiber content. Almost all respondents had heard of both fiber and roughage, and …

Probable malignancy in a Sadlermiut Eskimo mandible
The mandible of a Sadlermiut Eskimo woman, age at death 28 to 30 years, displays numerous well‐formed foramina concentrated bilaterally around the mental foramina. Differential diagnosis identifies this lesion with highest probability as a metastatic cancerous lesion; of less likelihood are sarcoma, hyperparathyroidism, hemangioma, and osteomyelitis. The specimen deserves attention because identification of malignancy in paleopathological materia…

Consumption and use of the winged bean by Sri Lankan villagers
The objectives of this study were to investigate the production, preparation, consumption and use of the winged bean by Sri Lankan villagers, to identify their perceptions of its value as a food, and to assess the potential for its increased production and consumption in Sri Lanka. The investigators found that the winged bean plant is well known and integrated into the foodways of the Sinhalese, Buddhist Sri Lankan, but that only the tender, imma…

Dieting foods
While use of the term “dieting” is frequent in the United States, little is known about its relevance as a category for classifying foods — which foods are considered dieting foods, how often people eat and avoid such foods and why foods are categorized as “dieting.” A sample of 374 undergraduate university students exhibited considerable consensus in naming specific foods as dieting foods and delineating foods they regularly consumed and avoided…

Public perceptions of fiber in foods
The nutritional value of consuming fiber has received much recent attention, yet little is known about how the public perceives fiber in foods. We asked a sample of 517 adults to name foods which are high and low in fiber and to explain what made a food a high‐fiber food. Nine in ten could name at least one high‐fiber food, and three in four could name at least one low‐fiber food. The most frequently named high‐fiber foods were grains, followed b…

Identities in Northern Ireland
The conflict in Northern Ireland is often described in terms of a clash of identities, national and religious. This study aimed to determine the relative importance of these identities using a multidimensional approach to examine the identity structures of students (N = 216). Analyses revealed that national and religious identities were accorded low salience and centrality relative to other identities. The study also investigated relations betwee…

Self‐Categorization and Bystander Non‐intervention
This paper outlines a new approach to the study of bystander intervention. Using insights derived from self‐categorization theory (Turner, Hogg, Oakes, Reicher, & Wetherell, 1987), we explore the social category relations among those present in the context of physical violence. The paper describes two experiments that manipulate the social category relations between (a) bystander and fellow bystanders, and (b) bystander and victim. Analysis indic…
