When talk isn’t cheap: Language and safety In two states’ human services
This paper integrates the concepts of first and second stories as well as Symbolic Interactionism and provides a framework that emphasizes the local rationality of practitioners and the social construction of meaning within their organizations. This paper will first consider some of the assumptions that characterize today’s safety discourse(s) because they inform how CS works with clients. What Symbolic Interactionism provided here is not the bas…
The Little Engine That Could’: A Qualitative Study of Medical Service Access and Effectiveness among Adolescent Athletics Athletes Competing at the Highest International Level
Little is known about provision of medical services to adolescents prior to participating in international top-level sports. This study aimed to investigate experiences of medical service provision among high-level adolescent athletics (track and field) athletes from three continents. A thematic narrative analysis was applied to data collected from 14 athletes by semi-structured interviews. Although competing at the highest international level, t…
Risk and safety in large-scale socio-technological (military) systems: A literature review
Contemporary military practice relies more and more on technology and its artefacts and seem to have become, thereby, large-scale socio-technological systems; systems in which the social and the technological are closely tied together. An important issue in these kinds of systems, especially military ones, is how to safely use this technology. This paper reviews the literature for research on risk and safety in large-scale socio-technological sys…

The Raw is Cooked: Data in Intelligence Practice
This article looks at some common assumptions and associated work practices within a military intelligence community. There intelligence practitioners use the term "raw data" as a common sense category, as a word that describes information they want or have gained access to. The practical and organizational processes that inform the construction of the term raw data are unpacked here. Examples presented are based on interviews, field observations…
Studying up (and down) the cultural heritage preservation agenda: Observations from Romania
This article argues that researchers involved in cultural heritage preservation need to adopt an inclusive ethnographic research methodology that pays attention to how power, class and status shape communities. Based on field research in Ghimeş-Fǎget, Romania, it discusses the factors that influenced residents’ choice of ethnic identity and focuses on why the Hungarian identity was chosen as the most visible public representation of the town, whe…
IED casualties mask the real problem: It's Us
Casualty figures suggest that the US/Allied Counter Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) policy and the present allocation of national assets, resources, and intellectual capital have not been very successful. A number of explanations for why this has been the case are discussed and critiqued here. Keywords: bricolagebureaucracyIEDssocial network theoryWeber Notes 1. ‘Improvised Explosive Device Defeat (excerpt, chapters 1 through 5)’, Washington,…

Exploration of the life histories and future of war‐wounded Salvadoran and Iranian Kurd quota refugees in Sweden: A qualitative approach
This study explores the life histories of ten Salvadoran and twelve Iranian Kurd refugees. Both groups came to Sweden as war‐wounded quota refugees and their migration was forced. They had spent many years in guerilla movements and were experienced soldiers despite their youth. They were interviewed during hospitalisation shortly after arrival in Sweden, and followed‐up after two years. The findings suggest that repatriation is a recurrent theme …
Belief, Community, and Technology on the Internet
Technological failure is usually seen as precluding success in computer network projects. In Jay County, Indiana, technological failure in a rural, county-wide community networking initiative did not get defined as such. Because we had turned what was first seen as a purely technical project into a community-wide discourse on technological needs and issues, technological failure simply did not matter
Use of cortisol as a stress marker: Practical and theoretical problems
Human biologists have shown increasing interest in the use of cortisol as an objective marker of stress in recent years. This paper reviews both practical and theoretical problems raised by this approach. The methodology of cortisol assessment using urine, saliva, and plasma is considered. There are many practical problems involved in obtaining good measures of cortisol, although the availability of salivary assays offers a promising way forward.…
