Is the problem driven iterative adaptation approach (PDIA) a panacea for public financial management reform? Evidence from six African countries
This article assesses the application of the problem driven iterative adaptation (PDIA) approach to public financial management reform in six African countries. It draws on primary data collected using a mix of interviews, overt participation observations and a short survey. PDIA responds to shortcomings in orthodox approaches to reform and technical assistance in developing countries. It stresses local solutions to local problems, achieved throu…
Pedestrians with Disabilities and Town and City Streets
This article highlights the importance of ensuring that accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities, as required by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, is fully embedded in efforts to reduce the dominance of cars in city streets and promote more active modes of travel (including walking, wheeling and cycling) in line with global agendas. Drawing on emerging findings from the Inclusive Public Space research p…
The Anticipatory Reasonable Adjustment Duty
The anticipatory reasonable adjustment duty, introduced by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and now found in the Equality Act 2010, has been hailed as an innovative and proactive tool for embedding disability equality in services and public functions. Despite important successes, the duty has had a surprisingly low profile in academic scholarship and has struggled to fulfil its practical potential. We seek to understand how this has happene…
Association between Neighborhood Social Deprivation and Stage at Diagnosis among Breast Cancer Patients in South Carolina
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between neighborhood social deprivation and individual-level characteristics on breast cancer staging in African American and white breast cancer patients. We established a retrospective cohort of patients with breast cancer diagnosed from 1996 to 2015 using the South Carolina Central Cancer Registry. We abstracted sociodemographic and clinical variables from the registry and linked these d…

Out on the streets – Crisis, opportunity and disabled people in the era of Covid-19
Governments have responded to the Covid-19 crisis through various measures designed to reduce transmission and protect people judged to be at heightened risk. This paper explores the implications of such measures in the UK for disabled people, with a particular focus on measures designed to reduce and reshape the use of streets and public space. We divide UK measures into two broad categories. First, there are measures designed to reduce the use …
Multi-Scale Multivariate Models for Small Area Health Survey Data
We propose a general approach to the analysis of multivariate health outcome data where geo-coding at different spatial scales is available. We propose multiscale joint models which address the links between individual outcomes and also allow for correlation between areas. The models are highly novel in that they exploit survey data to provide multiscale estimates of the prevalences in small areas for a range of disease outcomes. Results The mode…
The social and human rights models of disability
This article aims to reorient thinking about the relationship between the long-standing social model of disability and the rapidly emerging human rights model. In particular, it contests the influential view that the latter develops and improves upon the former (the improvement thesis) and argues instead that the two models are complementary (the complementarity thesis). The article begins with a discursive analysis of relevant documents to inves…
Disability Law as an Academic Discipline
This article calls for a strengthening of Disability Law as an academic discipline and offers orientation for its future development. It argues that there is a need for enhanced cohesion among those already applying a critical disability perspective within disciplines such as Equality Law, Mental Health and Capacity Law, and Social Care and Protection Law and also for greater mainstreaming of this approach across the full breadth of sociolegal sc…

Spatial Environmental Modeling of Autoantibody Outcomes among an African American Population
In this study of autoimmunity among a population of Gullah African Americans in South Carolina, the links between environmental exposures and autoimmunity (presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA)) have been assessed. The study population included patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 10), their first degree relatives (n = 61), and unrelated controls (n = 9) where 47.5% (n = 38) were ANA positive. This paper presents the methodology use…
Accessibility Obligations in the un Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Article 9 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is an innovative provision which articulates, for the first time in a UN human rights treaty, a right to accessibility. Article 9(1) requires States Parties to take: appropriate measures to ensure to persons with disabilities access, on an equal basis with others, to the physical environment, to transportation, to information and communications, including inform…
Respiratory symptoms and lung function 8–10 months after community exposure to chlorine gas
Eight to ten months after acute chlorine exposure, the Graniteville health screening participants under-reported respiratory symptoms when compared to abnormal spirometry results. Sensitivity and specificity were low, and we determined that relying upon the self-report questionnaire was not adequate to objectively assess the lung health of our population following irritant gas exposure
Potential, principle and pragmatism in concurrent multinational monitoring
This article responds to some of the limitations of traditional human rights monitoring systems by identifying the potential for more dynamic methods of recording and reporting rights-based evidence. The paper distinguishes between ‘consecutive’ and ‘concurrent’ models of monitoring and between hierarchical and non-hierarchical monitoring systems. Using the example of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)…
An Emotional History of the Business Cycle
This article explores the homology between states of affect as represented in literary texts by Emerson, Poe, and Alcott, and the stages of the business cycle of 1832–1842. It argues that recurrent cycles of mania, panic, and depression served to habituate Americans to the business cycle and to naturalize market forces
Lascaux, Dordogne, France
This chapter describes Lascaux, considered the most famous decorated cave in France. Lascaux contains an estimated 1,963 individual figures or motifs. Of the overall total, 915 figures depict animals, two-thirds of which can be identified. Almost all of the identifiable figures belong to just four groups of grazing mammals. Horses are depicted most frequently (364 representations), and make up slightly more than 60 per cent of all identifiable im…
Disability equality, reasonable accommodation and the avoidance of ill-treatment in places of detention
This article focuses on the way in which disabled people who are deprived of their liberty are treated in places of detention. It argues that human rights law demands that disabled people should not be discriminated against while in detention and that the non-discrimination obligation includes a reasonable accommodation obligation. The nature of this obligation is explained, together with the heightened profile given to it in the context of place…
Painted Caves
Painted Caves, a beautifully illustrated introduction to the oldest art of Western Europe, charts historical background to the acceptance of a Palaeolithic age for the very ancient paintings found in caves. Offering an up-to-date overview of the geographical distribution of the sites found in southern France and the Iberian Peninsula, and examples known in Britain, Italy, Romania, and Russia, Lawson's expert study is not restricted to the art in …
Foreclosure Stories
This article examines how the foreclosure crisis has been represented in a range of narrative genres: the reportage of Paul Reyes's Exiles in Eden: Life among the Ruins of Florida's Great Recession (2010), Michael Moore's documentary film Capitalism: A Love Story (2009), and Paul Auster's novel Sunset Park (2010).These narratives attempt to contextualize the human beings caught in the center of the subprime mortgage storm, but in the process each…
Moby-Dickand the American Empire
This article explores the parallels between the narrative tropes of Moby-Dick and the conduct of the Mexican War of 1846–48. Drawing on the theories of Austin and Butler, the article develops an account of the performative speech acts deployed by President James K. Polk in order to secure Congressional support for the war, and the rhetorical power exercised by Ahab on the Pequod. It also examines in detail Melville’s use of the Biblical figures o…
William Faulkner
This review-essay explores the theoretical and methodological innovations of Richard Godden’s William Faulkner, arguing that it makes a signal contribution to historical materialism in literary studies. The article focuses on Godden’s concept of ‘generative structure’, and relates the term to earlier usages by Aglietta and Jameson. After summarising the close readings of Faulkner’s texts performed by Godden, the article suggests an expanded rôle …
A Noble Group of Barrows’
Two hundred years after William Cunnington and Sir Richard Colt Hoare’s excavations into Bronze Age barrows on Normanton Down, Wiltshire, we offer a fresh appraisal of this renowned cemetery, which lies within sight of Stonehenge. The paper focuses specifically on burial deposits of Early Bronze Age Period 3, seen as representing a dynastic succession that controlled access to Stonehenge for a while and presided over the ceremonies therein. Pre-e…
Class and Antebellum American Literature
This article discusses the formation and transformation of the elite, the middle class and the artisan class in the antebellum period. It then analyses the work of three major authors from each of these classes: Emily Dickinson, Nathaniel Hawthorne and George Lippard, showing how each author responded to the challenges and contradictions of their particular class location
On the Uses of Relativism
At Colonial Williamsburg, the idea that histories are interpretations that change in relation to changing social circumstances competes with a notion of history as "just the facts." The first approach, historical relativism, is more frequently enunciated in presentations of African-American history than in presentations of the history of the founding fathers. The museum thus asserts that black history is "conjectural," but it continues to present…

The EU Rights Based Approach to Disability
This article examines some of the implications of a rights based approach to disability which, it is argued, is a necessary pre-condition of an inclusive society in which people with impairments are valued and able to participate fully. It considers the main ways in which this approach is shaping current ED law and policy. It identifies a number of strategies which may prove useful to disability organisations and other campaigners wishing to esta…

The Prehistoric Hinterland of Maiden Castle
Maiden Castle, situated 3km south-west of the centre of Dorchester, Dorset, is probably the best known Iron Age hillfort in Britain. Excavations by Sir Mortimer Wheeler were published by the Society of Antiquaries in 1943, and although he may have considered this report as incomplete his vivid interpretations caught the public imagination so that the results have found their way into archaeological texts and children's history books alike. The va…
IV.—Shale and Jet Objects from Silchester
Silchester ( Calleva Atrebatum ) is the most extensively excavated of all Romano-British town-sites but the majority of the finds, now in Reading Museum, remain unpublished. Unfortunately these finds were not related stratigraphically to the site and therefore remained undated; insula and pit provenance is the most that was recorded, and then only occasionally, in the early years of excavation when the supervisors could find time
