Returning the dead: The experience of repatriation and the heritage of racial science in Finland and Ireland
This article examines the contemporary return and reburial of human remains in two European contexts – Inishbofin, Ireland, and Pälkäne, Finland – to analyse how communities of descent experience, articulate and mobilise claims to ancestral dead. While international debates on repatriation have largely centred on Indigenous peoples, these cases illuminate how majority or non-Indigenous European communities also engage with the legacies of racial …
Rotten roots: The colonial genealogies of Irish enslavers
This article reinterprets Irish links to Atlantic slavery as a problem of kinship, inheritance, and family memory. It focuses in particular on genealogy as a technology of memory within enslaver families. Responding to a call from Calvert and O’Riordan (2024) to produce ‘messier’ Irish family histories, the article argues that genealogy functions as a familial technology through which households curate status, manage embarrassment, and negotiate …
Analysing the impact of complex multimorbidity on health-related quality of life
This paper presents independent associations between complex multimorbidity and health-related quality of life using the EQ-5D-5L instruments. Identifying the decrements in utility associated with complex multimorbidity is of value for economic evaluation and health technology assessment. Data from the population normative dataset from the Irish EQ-5D-5L study were combined with baseline data from the SPPiRE (Supporting Prescribing in Older Adult…
America in Ireland: Culture and Society, 1841–1925
While the impacts of Irish emigration to America following the Great Famine of 1845–1852 have been well studied, comparatively little scholarly attention has been paid to the effects of reverse migration on Irish culture, society, and politics. Inspired by the work of historian David P. B. Fitzpatrick (1948–2019) and forming a companion to his final published work The Americanisation of Ireland: Migration and Settlement 1841–1925 (Cambridge, 2019…
When algorithmic management was new: Engineered standards and the managerial prerogative in Australia
In this article we analyse the significance for critical logistics studies of a neglected chapter in industrial relations history, the introduction of so-called ‘Engineered Standards’ into the Australian food and groceries sector in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We argue that this episode was decisive in establishing the conditions which have allowed algorithmic management to flourish in Australia in more recent years. We argue for the signific…
New worlds of logistical labour: Spaces, places, technologies, workers
This Special Issue offers new research on the dynamic interaction and interdependence of global logistics with spaces of labour, including work, workers, organisations and workers’ communities. It presents ten articles that emphasise the changing nature of logistical labour in the context of radical technological transformation and changing spatial and social configurations. Spanning diverse geographical contexts across five continents, the colle…

A Colony to Themselves”: Scottish Highland Settler Colonialism in British North America, 1770–1804
This article explores the links between anti-Catholicism in the United Kingdom and the acceleration of settler colonialism in British North America, and it does so by considering two group migrations from Catholic districts in the North West Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Occurring over 30 years apart, the Glenaladale settlement (1772) in Prince Edward Island and the Glengarry settlement (1803) in Upper Canada offer instructive insight into h…

Examining the transnational preventive healthcare utilisation of a group of Eastern European migrants living full-time in another European state
Migrants in Europe are shown to have consistently lower uptake of preventive healthcare compared to European host populations. This paper examines how the transnational preventive care use of Eastern European migrants in their country of origin may be associated with preventive care uptake in their European host country. Preventive care use data in Ireland was collected on 119 Polish migrants and 123 native Irish from June 2018 to September 2019.…

Direct healthcare costs of sedentary behaviour in the UK
BACKGROUND: Growing evidence indicates that prolonged sedentary behaviour increases the risk of several chronic health conditions and all-cause mortality. Sedentary behaviour is prevalent among adults in the UK. Quantifying the costs associated with sedentary behaviour is an important step in the development of public health policy. METHODS: National Health Service (NHS) costs associated with prolonged sedentary behaviour (≥6 hours/day) were esti…

Haptic media and the cultural techniques of touch: The sphygmograph, photoplethysmography and the Apple Watch
This article draws upon cultural techniques theory to propose an approach to studying haptic media as media technologies which train or discipline touch and which serve to produce touch itself as a coherent and ‘proper’ communicative technology. This article analyses the different forms of touch which have coalesced around the sphygmograph, a nineteenth-century pulse writing technology, and photoplethysmography, a contemporary heart rate–measurin…
Public History, Invisibility, and Women in the Republic of Ireland
It seems that Ireland is lagging behind other nations in gender balance in promoting and exhibiting its history. This article seeks to interrogate current representations of women within what can be called “public history” in Ireland. It will also contextualize the integration of women as both creators and subjects of history over recent years. It will point to inadequacies, of course, but also examples of great practice that bodes well for the f…
Taylorism, the European Science of Work, and the Quantified Self at Work
While the Quantified Self has often been described as a contemporary iteration of Taylorism, this article argues that a more accurate comparison is to be made with what Anson Rabinbach has termed the “European Science of Work.” The European Science of Work sought to modify Taylor’s rigid and schematic understanding of the laboring body through the incorporation of insights drawn from the rich European tradition of physiological studies. This “sof…
Urban–rural differences in cancer-directed surgery and survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Clinically appropriate cancer-directed surgery is an influential and significant prognostic factor. In a population-based study, we determined how urban/rural residence was related to surgery receipt for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. We assessed the relationship between relative survival and patients' area of residence, taking into account surgery receipt and area…
Negotiating public history in the Republic of Ireland: Collaborative, applied and usable practices for the profession
Since the nineteen-seventies public history has emerged as an increasingly coherent discipline in North America, Australia, New Zealand, the U.K. and, latterly, in a wider European context. In all of these places it has had a connected but distinctly different gestation, and the nature of how history is applied, constructed, proffered or sold for public consumption is unique to each society. In Ireland, and within the history profession connected…

Catholics of Consequence: Transnational Education, Social Mobility, and the Irish Catholic Elite 1850-1900
Based on comprehensive and new archival research at over a dozen schools across Ireland, Britain, and France, 'Catholics of Consequence' traces the lives and education of over two thousand Irish children in the nineteenth century, examining how this affected Irish life, and the history of education
Structural Change in the NHS and Gp Utilization in England Under New Labour, 1997–2003
In this article we compare the pattern of service utilization in the period preceding the health‐care reforms introduced by New Labour with service utilization following the refoms. Data from the 1997 and 2003 waves of the British Household Panel Survey are used to estimate a series of utilization functions. These show that GP utilization overall fell, for women more than men and for the sick more than others. The results suggest that GPs respond…

Returning the dead: The experience of repatriation and the heritage of racial science in Finland and Ireland
