Digital twins as space media
NASA scientists have claimed that the rescue of the stricken Apollo 13 spacecraft in 1970 created the first digital twin system. In this article, I examine NASA’s narrative, which is gathering consensus as the origin story of digital twin technologies, with two main points of focus. First, through an examination of the dynamics of control and error, I scrutinise the ways in which the NASA ethos and worldview may be embedded within contemporary us…
Reimagining digital inclusion through platform economies in Brazil
This article considers how community-led organisations in Brazil are reformulating debates surrounding digital inclusion in the face of the consolidation of platform capitalism. It does this through exploration of how two NGOs cultivate spaces for exchange and dialogue in rural and urban areas of the country’s Southeast. The first, SILO, works with communities in rural, peripheral and protected areas to respond to local challenges using art, scie…

Navigating Physical and Digital Environments: Latin American Video Game Studies in Practice
This article reflects on developments in research into Latin American video games two decades after the first studies in the field. In particular, it fills a gap in research by reflecting on the pedagogical uses of video games, focusing both on their value in the undergraduate classroom and on the design of educational games for use by school children, asking to what extent games might afford their players impactful embodied experiences and ways …
Gaming Race in Brazil: Video Games and Algorithmic Racism
This article argues that video games can function as a critical platform from which to intervene into the conjunction between embodied experiences of racialisation and the production of race as a category within the cybernetic forms of identification of platform capitalism. Through analysis of the role played by race in video game cultures in Brazil, I explore both the affordances of video games and the limitations of their use in the fight again…
Large sardine resource discovered off south-eastern Australia: Potential risks, challenges and benefits of establishing a new fishery
This paper documents the discovery of a large sardine (Sardinops sagax) resource off South-eastern Australia. We use information from three ichthyoplankton surveys for jack mackerel to apply the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM) to the South-eastern sardine stock. Mean daily egg production was estimated from survey data. Spawning area was estimated from the surveys and using a habitat suitability model to predict presence/absence of eggs in unsu…
An Agenda for Hope: How Education Cultivates and Dashes Hope among Youth in Nairobi and Karachi
Education is considered a key vehicle for creating hope among youth. This is important not only for hope’s sake, but because increased hope is thought to reduce participation in various forms of violence. But while other goals for education in mitigating participation in violence involve special programming and step-by-step theories, hope is generally presumed to emerge spontaneously via education. We investigated the relationship between educati…
Twins and Recursion in Digital, Literary and Visual Cultures
The tale of twins being reunited after a long separation is a trope that has been endlessly repeated and reworked across different cultures and throughout history, with each moment adapting the twin plot to address its current cultural tensions. In this study, Edward King demonstrates how twins are a means of exploring the social implications of hyper-connectivity and the compromising relationship between humans and digital information, their env…
The impact of indirect questioning: Asking about you versus your friends
Indirect questioning attempts to overcome social desirability bias in survey research. However, to properly analyze the resulting data, it is crucial to understand how it impacts responses. This study analyzes results from a randomized experiment that tests whether direct versus indirect questioning methods lead to different results in a sample of 8,426 youths in Kenya and Pakistan. Through an examination of differential item functioning and regr…
The World Historical Novel
Joseph Conrad’s Nostromo as inaugural reconfiguration of the historical novel, most political of literary forms, in which the world-system of capital rather than the nation state emerges as point of reference
Combining the Theory and Practice of Peace and Conflict Studies through an Experiential Conflict Analysis Activity
How can political science classes best prepare undergraduate students for the field of peace and conflict studies (PACS)? We argue that well-designed experiential learning activities provide opportunities for students to embrace complexity and practice adaptability, fusing the theoretical and practical in ways that prepare them to engage in PACS. This article presents one such experiential learning approach: a conflict analysis activity. Through …

Diversity, Violence, and Recognition: How Recognizing Ethnic Identity Promotes Peace
When considering strategies to address violent conflict, an enduring debate concerns the wisdom of recognizing versus avoiding reference to ethnic identities. This book asks: Under what conditions do governments manage internal violent conflicts by formally recognizing different ethnic identities? Moreover, what are the implications for peace? Introducing the concept of “ethnic recognition,” and building on a theory rooted in ethnic power configu…
Seeing like students: What Nairobi youth think about politics, the state and the future
While Kenyan youth comprise the majority of the Kenyan electorate, they are typically either stereotyped as criminals or marginalized, rather than taken seriously as politically important actors. The importance of youth in Kenya, and the gaps in our knowledge about this group, prompt us to investigate their views at the cusp of political becoming. Reporting on a survey of 4,773 secondary school students in Nairobi, we argue that understanding thi…
Education at the intersection of conflict and peace: The inclusion and framing of education provisions in African peace agreements from 1975-2017
International actors have called for greater inclusion of education provisions in peace agreements given the important symbolic and practical roles peace agreements play post-conflict. Yet, the inclusion, framing, and roles of education in peace agreements remain understudied. This paper investigates the trends in education’s inclusion in African peace agreements from 1975–2017. We provide a descriptive quantitative analysis of education trends o…
Minorities and mistrust: On the adoption of ethnic recognition to manage conflict
An enduring debate in the conflict management literature concerns the wisdom of recognizing versus avoiding reference to ethnic identities in institutions to manage ethnic conflict. Understanding why ethnic recognition occurs is crucial for informing this debate. We develop a theory based on functional and political mobilization effects of recognizing ethnic groups. Contrary to reasoning that minority leaders would be most interested in recogniti…
What Kenyan Youth Want and Why It Matters for Peace
The international aid community presents education and employment programs as the keys to mitigating youth participation in violence. Yet, existing evidence suggests that faith in such programs may be misplaced. This study investigates this disconnect between faith and evidence. It argues that education and employment programs are commonly built on an economically-focused "dominant discourse" that makes presumptions about youth and their interest…
Virtual Orientalism in Brazilian Culture
Virtual Orientalism in Brazilian Culture explores orientalist discourse in Brazil as an expression of anxieties about the re-structuring of time and space in the digital age. This book discusses representations of Japan in Brazilian culture, which emerge in relation both to the history of Japanese immigration to the country and to the increasingly global interest in manga and anime. These orientalist texts hesitate between contrasting notions of …
Fast-Track Institution Building in Conflict-Affected Countries? Insights from Recent Field Experiments
This paper synthesizes evidence from four recent “community-driven development” field experiments undertaken in countries affected by violent conflict and assesses prospects for “fast-track” institution building. Conflict-affected environments are presumed to be settings that combine extraordinary need and opportunity for building institutions. The substantive and methodological consistency of the field experiments (Afghanistan, DRC, Liberia, and…
Violent conflicts and natural disasters: The growing case for cross-disciplinary dialogue
Comparisons between disasters and violent conflicts are often noted by political figures and in the news media, and those responding to conflicts and disasters witness similarities on the ground. In contrast, the academic fields studying violent conflicts and so-called natural disasters have developed separately and practitioners usually separate the two phenomena as soon as the emergency response is over. This paper, based on interviews with pra…

Occupied Airwaves: Determinist Fantasies in the Radio Projects of Occupation and Anti-Occupation
In this article, I think about some of the ways in which the designs and fantasies surrounding radio infrastructures were shared by political and cultural movements either side of occupation, with particular attention to Algeria and Ireland. I ask what characterized these fantasies? How did they imagine new relations of space, time, and cultural integration? What kinds of assumptions about geography, people, and technology underpin these initial …

Group aggression among school children in three schools
Mobbing", i.e. school children repeatedly ganging up on the same victims, was studied among 434 12-16 years old children in three schools in Finland. A group of bullies and a group of victims were selected on basis of peer ratings. 13.7% of the boys and 5.4% of the girls were involved in mobbing behaviour. The children's personality variables were studied with questionnaires. The victims had low self-esteem, were subjectively maladjusted, and exp…
From Data Problems to Data Points: Challenges and Opportunities of Research in Postgenocide Rwanda
While interest in conducting fieldwork in conflict and postconflict societies continues to grow, literature addressing the specific challenges and dilemmas of this kind of research remains scarce. Based on four months of fieldwork and approximately seventy interviews, this article explores the complexities of conducting research in postgenocide Rwanda. I argue that what at first may appear to be data problems can also be important data points; pr…

Educating for Conflict or Peace: Challenges and Dilemmas in Post-Conflict Rwanda
In Rwandan classrooms today, survivors of the genocide sit beside returned refugees or the children of those imprisoned for war crimes. The schools in which they are being taught were often sites of mass atrocities. New textbooks and other learning resources are in short supply and those that do exist-written prior to the 1994 genocide-promote highly divisive stereotypes between Hutu and Tutsi students. Current Rwandan leaders, however, claim to …
