  • Missing a Beat? Exploring U.S. State Legislative Coverage Beyond the Politics Desk

    Open Access•Meagan E Doll, Russell Hansen et al.•ARTICLE•Journalism & Mass Communication…•2026

    Existing research documents a loss in full-time statehouse reporters, inferring negative impacts on legislative coverage. However, little empirical work actually examines statehouse news content. Using Washington State as a case study, we analyze content produced by eight news organizations to examine what audiences receive as part of the current legislative reporting landscape. We find that nearly half of legislative reporting is produced by rep…

  • Explaining the Feminization of Statehouse Reporting in One American State: A Field Analysis

    Open Access•Russell Hansen, Russell W Hansen et al.•ARTICLE•Journalism Practice•2025•References: 7

    The talent and diversity challenge is much more pronounced at local/regional newsrooms, so the big brands could learn from (some) smaller players about innovative approaches to address the issue. Active recruitment schemes and different recruiting procedures will be a must for newsrooms.The "fishing from the top of the pile" approach needs to be retired.It is also not enough to "widen the pool of applicants" if structural forms of discrimination …

  • New life for statehouse reporting? The view from one American state

    Open Access•Matthew Powers, Meagan E Doll et al.•ARTICLE•Journalism•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 9

    This paper examines news organizations’ shifting editorial and commercial strategies towards statehouse reporting – an important but often neglected form of sub-national journalism in the United States. Through interviews with reporters, editors, and management in one state (Washington), we find that many news organizations are adapting their coverage to better align with transformations in both politics and journalism. The specific strategy an o…

  • From Merkelmania to Malaise: Germany in the Twilight of Atlanticism

    Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen et al.•ARTICLE•German Politics & Society•2025

    The article places the current malaise afflicting the Federal Republic of Germany in a post-war historical context. It argues that the recent reversal in Chancellor Angela Merkel's academic and journalistic fortunes-from darling to devil within a few short years-reflects a broader schizophrenia in the intelligentsia's views on Germany's economy. Since the early 1950s, opinion has swung, almost violently, from fawning adoration to dark pessimism. …

  • Human Trafficking in Germany: The Labor Exploitation at the Heart of the FRG's Economic Model

    Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen•ARTICLE•German Politics & Society•2025

    This article explores human trafficking for labor in Germany's meat industry. Journalists have often associated trafficking with Asia (above all Thailand) and with sex work. In fact, human trafficking for (non-sex) labor is more common globally, and it is endemic in the Federal Republic. The article argues that three features of the German economy make the country highly susceptible to labor trafficking: (1) its export-driven growth model reliant…

  • Immigration and the Brexit Catastrophe: Empire, Citizenship and Ignorance

    Open Access•Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen•ARTICLE•The Political Quarterly•2024

    The article examines British immigration policy in the run‐up to and after Brexit. It explains how the Conservatives presided over policies that demonised, demeaned and deported black Britons whilst admitting hundreds of thousands of immigrants they promised to keep out. This happened because of (a) how early postwar nationality policy interacted with subsequent immigration policy and (b) elite ignorance. The ensuing Windrush scandal resulted fro…

  • Turning Public Opinion on Immigration: The British Conservative Party and the Expulsion of Ugandan Asians in 1972

    Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen•ARTICLE•Journal of Migration History•2023

    This article examines the Ugandan Asians’ crisis of 1972, during which President Idi Amin expelled tens of thousands of Asian nationals from the country. It explains why Ugandan Asians held, against expectations and the UK government’s intention, British citizenship. Drawing on primary sources and the social science literature on ‘framing’, the article then explores how Britain’s Conservative government secured the support of an initially hostile…

  • You’ve never been welcome here: Exploring the relationship between exclusivity and incivility in online forums

    Russell Hansen, Russell W Hansen•ARTICLE•Journal of Information Technology…•2022•References: 13

    This paper investigates the underexplored relationship between norms of inclusivity and civility. It asks whether, in the context of online forums, groups with more exclusionary language in their rules statements will generate more uncivil comments, and whether political orientation of the most exclusive forums will affect incivility in comments. Sidebar data and one month’s worth of comments spanning between June and July of 2020 (n = 4,413,646)…

  • Making meaning of parenting from the perspective of alienated parents

    Open Access•Kristina M Scharp, Russell Hansen et al.•ARTICLE•Personal Relationships•2021

    More than 13% of parents identify as being alienated by at least one of their children. Parental alienation often occurs after divorce when one parent (un)intentionally persuades his or her children to distance themselves from or reject the other parent. This study, couched in relational dialectics theory, explores the meaning of parenting from the perspective of 40 alienated parents. This analysis yielded two competing discourses: the culturally…

  • The Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework: A Commentary

    Open Access•Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen•ARTICLE•Journal of Refugee Studies•2018•Cited by: 15•References: 4

    This article examines the Global Compact on Refugees—a UNHCR-led effort following recommendations by the United Nations. The article reviews the progress to date, focusing in particular on Annex I of the 2016 New York Declaration: the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF). It argues that two elements of the CRRF—its emphases on inclusion and self-reliance and its call for easing pressures on host societies—are necessary and commendable,…

  • Thomas C. Leonard. Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics, and American Economics in the Progressive Era

    Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen•ARTICLE•The American Historical Review•2018

    Eugenics—the practice of encouraging the breeding of the “fit” while discouraging the breeding of the “unfit”—has attracted extensive scholarly interest in the last thirty years. As Thomas C. Leonard argues in his fine book Illiberal Reformers, eugenics was not, as many continue to insist on believing, marginal pseudo-science. It was science, and not only its basic precepts (that “feeblemindedness” was hereditary and that feebleminded persons’ hi…

    What is the relationship between victimization by political violence against women in North Korea and later physical abuse of offspring? This article examines the relationships between victimization by political violence, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol abuse/dependence, and abuse of offspring after arrival in South Korea. A random sample of 204 female North Korean defectors was used to test hypotheses. An oral history conducted wit…

    This article provides a review of the economic, demographic and welfare effects of immigration in contemporary Europe. It argues that the economic benefits of migration are small but positive, its welfare effects minimal if not non-existent, and its demographic effects modest but real. It then provides a series of recommendations for governing migration policy in Europe: keeping the borders open but controlled; keeping employment high and income …

  • An Image of God: The Catholic Struggle with Eugenics

    Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen•ARTICLE•Journal of American History•2016

    For some seventy years dozens of American states, cheered on in the early decades of the twentieth century by some of the country's finest minds, promulgated and enforced eugenic sterilization laws, under which approximately sixty thousand Americans were forcibly sterilized. Throughout the period, eugenicists and eugenic sterilization proponents had a consistent opponent: the Roman Catholic Church. The only national organization that consistently…

  • State Controls: Borders, Refugees, and Citizenship

    Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen•CHAPTER•Oxford Handbook of Refugee and…•2014

    Forced migration and refugees are intertwined with the nation state and its borders. This chapter examines the relationship between the nation state, borders, refugees, and citizenship. It looks at asylum challenges to the nation state and considers borders and refugees in historical context. In addition, this chapter examines the link between the creation and maintenance of borders and the production of refugee movements. It also discusses how t…

  • Jordanna Bailkin. The Afterlife of Empire

    Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen•ARTICLE•The American Historical Review•2014

    Jordanna Bailkin has written an ambitious book, one that finds space in the crowded field of research on the British Empire and decolonization's effects on the UK. But Bailkin is interested chiefly in neither diplomatic history nor the well-covered relationship between decolonization and migration to the metropole. Rather, she seeks to understand how decolonization was “lived” by longstanding British citizens (to use an anachronistic term), newly…

  • Deficits, Democracy, and Demographics: Europe’s Three Crises

    Russell Hansen, Randall Hansen et al.•ARTICLE•West European Politics•2014•Cited by: 8•References: 10

    This article argues that the EU and, above all, the eurozone are facing not one crisis – an economic and fiscal one – but three: an economic crisis, a crisis of institutions, and a crisis of demography. These crises are not simultaneous; they are overlapping and self-reinforcing, and there is a high degree of feedback across all three crises. Economically, the euro inflated economic growth and government revenue in the peripheral economies, givin…

    This book is the first comprehensive analysis of eugenics in North America focused on the second half of the twentieth century. Based on new research, Randall Hansen and Desmond King show why eugenic sterilization policies persisted after the 1940s in the United States and Canada. Through extensive archival research, King and Hansen show how both superintendents at homes for the 'feebleminded' and pro-sterilization advocates repositioned themselv…

  • The Two Faces of Liberalism: Islam in Contemporary Europe

    This article addresses long-standing normative claims that liberalism—understood as the priority of economic and political liberty, neutrality in the public sphere, the universal application of human rights, and the requirement to treat all subjects equally—is inadequate in the context of deep, migration-driven diversity. Beginning with the assumption that liberalism-as-an-integration-paradigm must be evaluated empirically, the article examines t…

  • Globalization, Embedded Realism, and Path Dependence: The Other Immigrants to Europe

    Long confined to historians and sociologists, the study of immigration has garnered increased interest among political scientists. Two dominant schools—the globalization and embedded realist theses—have attempted to account for the gap between restrictionist intentions of governments and continuing immigration (the gap hypothesis). The globalization thesis argues that international norms and institutions limit governments' ability to control migr…

We argue that the (normatively informed) image of fortress Europe is an inadequate account of migration and migration policy in Europe in three respects: the movement of family members, asylum-seekers and labour migrants has been substantially positive; enlar…

    A burgeoning literature in comparative politics has sought to incorporate ideas into political analysis. In this article the authors categorize the main ways in which this incorporation has occurred—ideas as culture, ideas as expert knowledge, ideas as solutions to collective action problems, and ideas as programmatic beliefs—and explicate the different assumptions about causality and the permanence of ideas implied by these different frameworks.…

    This article examines reforms to citizenship, a highly politicized issue, in France and Germany in the 1990s. It begins with the fact that, against a dominant strain of scholarly thought emphasizing path dependence and policy continuity, nationality law was reformed four times in the two countries. Taking this puzzling outcome as its starting point, the article attempts to account for the evolution of nationality law in the two countries. The arg…

It examines the essential concepts comparable to 'social citizenship', as understood in British debates, and the role that they have played in the development of the French welfare state.

It examines the decision within the context of three issues: first, the existence and status of a pledge, allegedly made by Macmillan's last Conservative government, that the Asians' right to enter the UK would be respected; second, a decline in both major pa…
