“Take back control”: Exploring the relationship between neoliberal inertia and far-right populism
This paper examines the connection between the persistent neoliberalism in today’s consumer culture and the rise of far-right politics, which offers a nationalistic alternative consumer society. Using Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) to analyse materials from the 2016 European referendum campaigns, our findings show that Remain discourse reinforces neoliberal globalist and individualist narratives, while Leave discourse promotes the …

Indigenous systems knowledge applied to protocols for governance and inquiry
This paper details the progress to date of the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab (IKS Lab) at Deakin University in establishing organisational processes and methods of inquiry grounded in Indigenous protocols. Continuity of traditional knowledge and practice in the Lab requires a deep‐time perspective of complex systems both local and nonlocal, ensuring that ancient psycho‐technologies are retrieved forward for context‐dependent, collectively resp…

Lessons From Learners: Adapting Medical Student Education During and Post Covid-19
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many medical schools suspended clinical clerkships and implemented newly adapted curricula to facilitate continued educational progress. While the implementation of these new curricula has been described, an understanding of the impact on student learning outcomes is lacking. In 2020, the authors followed Kern’s 6-step approach to curricular development to create and evaluate a novel COVID-19 curriculum for m…

Brexit: Potential impacts on the economic welfare of UK farm households
This paper estimates the effects of potential post-Brexit UK trade and domestic agricultural policy scenarios on the economic welfare (real income) of farm households, at both regional (devolved administrations) and national level. Results show that depending on the selected scenario, particularly the retention or elimination of direct payments as currently provided under Pillar 1 of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the impact varies signifi…
Time on a Tablet: Early Ivory Sundials Incorporating Wax Writing Tablets
This article offers the first comprehensive study of a newly discovered type of medieval sundial made of ivory which might well be the precursor of the well-known diptych dial form made from ivory and wood. These sundials are unique for the combination with a wax writing tablet (tabula cerata) on the reverse side, such as has been deployed as a reusable and portable writing surface in Antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages. Three previously unp…
Research with Children: Perspectives and Practices
This chapter was first developed from the Life As A Disabled Child project which was part of the Economic and Social Research Council’s (ESRC) Research Programme: Children 5-16 Growing Into The 21st Century Program. The project was carried out at the universities of Edinburgh and Leeds and this chapter discusses the experiences of the Edinburgh team in relation to research carried out in a special school for children with multiple impairments. By…
Pluralism and Anti-pluralism in Economics: The Atomistic Individual and Religious Fundamentalism
This short paper examines a possible connection between religion and economics in terms of the parallelism between the atomistic individual doctrine and the individual soul doctrine. The paper explores whether resistance to pluralism in economics as a methodological practice might be illuminated in terms of this connection. On this view, resistance to pluralism in economics is not a matter of economists holding methodological views about economic…

Complementary research methods in humanistic and transpersonal psychology: A case for methodological pluralism
Although experiences of positive psychological states such as self-actualization, love, happiness, meaning, authenticity, and spiritual connection are of interest to a number of psychologists, they are also difficult to study with rigorous scientific methods. This article argues that a complementary approach, or methodological pluralism, is appropriate and adequate for such study. The underpinnings of two approaches to psychological research meth…

Reflecting on Children and Young People's Participation in the UK
The article interrogates how children and young people's participation in public decision-making has been promoted in the UK. It considers critically the reasons typically (and persuasively) put forward for such participation, which can be categorized as: the promotion of children's rights; alignment with consumerism and service user involvement; enhancing democracy; and developing children's well-being and development. Each of these reasons can …

Anticipating Madam President
Madam President? The question is not if, but rather when the United States will elect a female president—but that may be the only certainty involved in shattering this most visible glass ceiling in U.S. society. Who will be included in the field of candidates for Madam President, and why? How will she have to position herself for a viable run at the Oval Office? Once in office, will she encounter gender-based biases in her handling of military an…
An overview of transpersonal psychology
An overview of transpersonal psychology is provided with specific focus on a number of its central themes (nonduality, intrinsic health, self‐transcendence, and inclusivity) and practices (meditation, ritual, and inquiry). The relationship of transpersonal psychology to both mainstream psychology and spiritual wisdom traditions is discussed. The field's implications for diversity issues, research, and service applications are also considered

The transpersonal dimensions of ecopsychology: Nature, nonduality, and spiritual practice
The author argues that an integration of ecopsychology and transpersonal psychology is useful for both. Empirical research on nature‐based transpersonal experiences is cited, and the contributions of Fox (1990) and Wilber (1995) are discussed. Nondual transpersonal states are found to be at the core of both fields. However, misunderstandings of nonduality have hampered this integration. A description of nondual dimensions of Being is presented, f…

Intelligence and Central Life Interests in Two Groups of Older Men
It was predicted that VA domiciliary members would differ from a comparable group of Senior Citizens with regard to psychological referents for two legal criteria used in selection of domiciliary members. Intelligence and pattern of central life interests were used as referents. When compared with the Senior Citizens group, the domiciliary members were lower in intelligence, more concerned with matters of physical self-maintenance and less concer…
