What Do Successful Military-to-Civilian Transitions Look Like? A Revised Framework and a New Conceptual Model for Assessing Veteran Well-Being
Developmental theory indicates that success during a major life change requires attention to multiple life domains (e.g., physical health, mental health, employment, financial, and social). This study presents a revised conceptual framework and offers a new empirical model to assess the well-being of post-9/11 veterans as they transition to civilian life. Data from a large sample of post-9/11 veterans surveyed over 2.5 years revealed that post-9/…
Making Kin from Gold
Drawing on ethnographic research in the United Arab Emirates and India, this article explores relationships among Indian kinship, gender, and transnational migration through a focus on gold that migrant men buy for their sisters' or daughters' weddings. Gold, used as a key component of dowry, is often considered "traditional" in an Indian setting, but is actually shaped by liberalization, contemporary statecraft, and transnational migration. As m…
Women's experiences leaving abusive relationships
Intimate partner violence is a worldwide problem. South Africa has one of the highest rates of intimate partner violence and therefore requires effective and sustainable approaches to prevention and response. For abused women, the process of leaving an intimate partner is difficult and mired in an abundance of complex factors that influence decision making. This qualitative study explored women's experiences of leaving abusive homes and relations…

A sheep in wolf's clothing? The problematic representation of women and the female body in 1980s sword and sorcery cinema
The muscled, independent woman found in action-orientated cinema is a problematic figure that confronts customary perceptions of masculine and feminine representation and gender roles. The regularly applied active/passive dichotomy is challenged by the agency and skill of these women, but, simultaneously, their position is undermined by an emphasis on the body, relationships with male characters, and the demands of patriarchy. Indeed, Jeffrey A. …
Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Methods to Model Infant Feeding Behavior among Navajo Mothers
Anthropologists have long discussed the value and limitations of various methods of describing and understanding behavior. This article demonstrates that utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods can improve our understanding of complex behaviors. Ethnographic interviews were used to create a decision tree model of the choice of breastfeeding or formula feeding for Navajo women. This preliminary model was tested with reference to the in…
An Ethnography of the Navajo Reproductive Cycle
All aspects of the reproductive cycle were considered in a research project conducted on the Navajo reservation in 1978.1 The research, which focused on menopause, had two goals: (1) to describe menopause for a non-industrial society, and (2) to test hypotheses regarding potential cultural influences in the experience of menopausal symptoms. The Navajo were selected for this research because their
