The deepening divide In Japanese employment: The increasing marginalization of contract workers as explained by path dependence, vested interests, and social psychology
In Japan, contract workers have never been on par with regular workers in terms of pay or benefits for similar work. However, the disparity between contract workers and regular workers has seen a sudden and dramatic turn for the worse since 2018 when the unintended consequences of the 2012 amendments to the 2007 Labor Contracts Act took effect. Although employment numbers may appear consistent over time, in actuality, as of 2018, nearly all contr…
Performativity and a microbe: Exploring Mycobacterium bovis and the political ecologies of bovine tuberculosis
Learning spaces in the countryside: University students and the Harper assemblage
Using the concepts of affect and assemblage, this paper expands the boundaries of the geographies of education by shifting the student focus from the urban to the rural. Based on the findings of student interviews, it demonstrates how a multiscalar and diversely constituted network of material and non‐material things (including buildings, animals and plants) coalesces with students to create affective atmospheres of learning in a specialist agri‐…
Farmers and bovine tuberculosis: Contextualising statutory disease control within everyday farming lives
Framing bovine tuberculosis: A 'Political Ecology of Health' Approach to Circulation of Knowledge(s) About Animal Disease Control
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) remains a significant animal health problem with a global distribution. In addition to the ecological complexities, socio-economic and socio-cultural factors also affect efforts to control and eliminate the disease. Interrogating bTB from the author's positionality of being both a veterinary epidemiologist and a human geographer, this interdisciplinary engagement in the political ecology of health investigates the experi…
Responsible scientists and a citizens' panel: New Storylines for Creative Engagement Between Science and the Public
Uncertainties over emerging technologies and their potential effect on society and the environment often lead to controversy between scientists, policymakers and the public. Opening up the debates and involving citizens and social scientists early in the process of developing new technology is one way of responding to this issue of governance. By doing so, the hope is that the ethical implications and acceptability of new science can be more care…
Coalition Culls and Zoonotic Ontologies
Diseases which can pass between animals and humans (zoonoses) have been headline news several times in the last ten years. This paper looks at bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in the United Kingdom, which, although not a major health hazard for humans, has been problematic for farmers and the veterinary health institutions. At its current rate of spread, the disease will cost the authorities £1 billion in compensation to farmers for slaughtered animals …
The embeddedness of Japanese HRM practices: The case of recruiting
French Mother Tongue Transmission in Mixed Mother Tongue Families
Women's occupational attainment: The effects of work interruptions, self-selection, and unobserved characteristics
Language Retention Among Canadian Indians: A Simultaneous Equations Model with Dichotomous Endogenous Variables
This paper is an application of a method recently developed by Heckman and MaCurdy (1984) to estimate a simultaneous-equations model with dichotomous endogenous variables. The substantive issue is the determinants of native-language maintenance among the Canadian Indian population. A simultaneous-equations model in which retention of an Indian mother tongue and various aspects of labor-force activity have reciprocal effects is contrasted with a m…
