Akuamma Seed ( Picralima nitida ) Use in the U.S
Indigenous to West Africa, akuamma seed ( Picralima nitida ) is used in traditional medicine and demonstrates opioidergic activity. Little is known about its role in management of pain or other ailments among people in the United States. This study presents findings from a web-based survey conducted between December 2023 and July 2024. Summary statistics characterized individuals reporting lifetime akuamma seed use, including demographics, substa…
Mental health practitioners’ perceptions of online working
A move to online therapy, observed in counselling courses within the UK during the global Covid-19 pandemic, prompted a research team of counselling educators to undertake a rapid literature review to explore the perceptions and experiences of video therapy internationally (PROSPERO 2020 CRD42020204705). Four databases (CINAHL, Medline, PsychInfo, and Web of Science) were searched using 25 keyword-phrases. Over half the research identified focuse…
Privileging the spirit, voices, and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in dementia care
Data show that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experiencing dementia receive services at mainstream health organizations and from non-Indigenous health care providers. It is imperative that non-Indigenous health care providers are educated about culturally respectful and safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with dementia. The purpose of this research was to partner with Aboriginal Elders to co-design and …
The acceptability of the Good Spirit, Good Life framework for remote-living Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
The Good Spirit, Good Life (GSGL) framework is a culturally informed quality of life (QoL) model co-designed with and for older Aboriginal people in Australia. The framework comprises twelve domains: family and friends, Country, community, culture, health, respect, safety and security, supports and services, Elder role, spirituality, future planning, and basic needs. The framework has been validated for urban and regional-living older Aboriginal …
A comparison of cognitive and health assessment tools used in a dementia prevention and risk management program for urban-dwelling older aboriginal Australians (Dampaa)
In partnership with Aboriginal Elders and Aboriginal community-controlled organisations, we developed a dementia risk management and prevention program for Aboriginal Australians aged ≥45 years. In this study, we report neuropsychological assessment data for people who underwent eligibility screening and baseline assessment and explore associations between the cognitive assessment tools used. Fifty Aboriginal people living in metropolitan Perth, …
Place-Based Arts Engagement and Learning Histories
Artistic works informed by the global climate emergency are now common. Yet research typically focuses on the role of art in climate communication, rather than evaluating opportunities for large-scale public art to drive climate action and behavioral change amongst audiences. Indeed, arts, culture, and heritage are poorly integrated into Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) even though understanding whether, and how, art drives community engageme…
Adaptation of the Good Spirit, Good Life quality of life tool for remote Indigenous Australians
The adapted GSGL tool is an acceptable QoL tool for use in health and aged care with urban, regional and remote-living Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. When translating a tool, forward-back translation with an expert language committee is recommended to reach concordance in meaning. The adapted GSGL tool is suitable for use with an interpreter when required
Youth‐led theatre for climate resilience and action at COP26
The worst impacts of climate change will be felt by the most vulnerable in our society, including children and young people who will be both witness to and victim of its increasingly serious consequences. Structural power imbalances limit children and young people's agency to effect meaningful change. Presented with a unique opportunity to showcase collaborative work between academic researchers and the National Youth Theatre on the international…
Process Evaluation of a Dementia Prevention Program for Aboriginal Australians (Dampaa) Using a Theory of Change Framework
A co-designed, Aboriginal health practitioner-led dementia risk management program (DAMPAA) was implemented from 2021 to 2024 to address the growing concern of dementia among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Western Australia. Key features of DAMPAA included group walking and yarning sessions incorporating health and well-being education twice a week, alongside a six-month home program. A theory of change framework guided a parall…
Intertemporal Income Shifting and the Taxation of Business Owner-Managers
We use newly linked tax records to show that the large responses of UK company owner-managers to personal taxes are due to intertemporal income shifting and not to reductions in real business activity. Around half of this shifting is short-term and helps prevent volatile incomes being taxed more heavily under progressive personal taxes. The remainder reflects systemic profit retention over long periods to take advantage of lower tax rates, includ…
Serious gaming to explore and investigate disaster recovery gaps
Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the potential of serious gaming as an imaginative and creative method to collect data in disaster studies that address key concerns such as extractive research, power inequalities, and bridging the theory-practice gap in exploring post-disaster recovery. Design/methodology/approach Novel serious gaming approach deployed to connect theory-practice by identifying and co-analysing post-disaster reco…
Towards attentive, playful arts-based methodology with children
This paper shares methodological insights from our research which sought to centre children in the production of knowledge during the 2020 global pandemic to consider how this can inform research with children beyond the crisis. Drawing on our longitudinal participatory arts-based research with 30 children aged 9–12 during 2020–22, the paper illustrates our response to the shifting research landscape which included navigating social restrictions …
Counting the Ways That Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Older People Participate in Their Communities and Culture
The social lives of older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were characterized by widespread participation in cultural events and activities. These findings provide important insights into services as they support older people to live a good life

Tracking Color Through Time
A comparative study of four Etruscan terracotta urns from Chiusi, Italy, investigates their ancient polychromy and the urns’ trajectories through changing modern-day art market practices and museum conservation policies. The objects’ shared moldmade motif of a specific scene from Sophocles’ play Antigone makes this group particularly suitable for illustrating differences and similarities in their past and present materiality, uncovered by multisp…
Valuing indigenous quality of life
Indigenous perspectives of quality of life (QoL) are different to that of non-Indigenous populations. Determining how to identify and value what is important to QoL for people from diverse cultural backgrounds is crucial for assessing effective outcomes for quality assessment and health economic evaluation to guide evidence-based decision making. This is particularly important for older Indigenous people who have complex care and support needs wi…
Learning histories, participatory methods and creative engagement for climate resilience
The potential of place-based, historically-informed approaches to drive climate action has not yet been adequately interrogated. Recent scholarly work has focussed on climate communication and the role of arts and humanities-led storytelling in engaging people in climate narratives. Far less has been said about mobilising arts and creativity to build anticipatory climate action. Nor have archival material and pre-twentieth century histories of li…

Rethinking Visual Arts-Based Methods of Knowledge Generation and Exchange in and beyond the Pandemic
This inaugural special issue of 'Beyond the Text' brings together a collection of visual arts (animation, creative and fine art, film, photographs, and zines) produced by children, young people, families, artists, and academics as part of co-created research during the 2020-2021 coronavirus pandemic. Our aim, in making these pieces available in this new publication format, is to illustrate the potential of visual arts as a form of co-creation and…
Seeing as an Act of Hearing
Our Voices' is an animation co-created with children aged 9-11 during the 2020-2021 global pandemic. A short, stop-start animation of children's visual, audio and textual representations of their experiences offers a visceral account of the pandemic in England from their perspectives. In making available the animation in this inaugural issue of 'Beyond the Text', we have two key aims. The first is to enable children, who have been barely seen and…
Creating online participatory research spaces
Our article draws on research undertaken with children during the 2020–21 COVID-19 pandemic in order to consider the potential of digitally mediated participatory research for child-centred research practice. Our specific focus is on how children’s inclusion can be centred in the absence of opportunities to meet in person. We reflect on how we sought to support children’s engagement through offline and online creative activities and explore how t…

Consuming Katrina
Parker Horrigan's slim but densely layered volume presents multiple viewpoints of narratives that emerged from citizen's experiences during Hurricane Katrina. Echoing the methodologies deployed in recent socio-hydrology and/or flood studies, notably Surviving Katrina and Rita in Houston (SKRH) and When They Blew the Levee, the book's interrogation of these narratives suggests 'a more ethical approach' to circulating and understanding survivor exp…
An Introduction to Early Childhood Studies
New and enduring narratives of vulnerability
The role of vulnerability in relation to mechanisms of governance and social welfare practices has received growing interest, but how ‘vulnerability’ is operationalised in asylum policy is less well understood. This paper explores narratives of vulnerability in relation to the figure of the refugee. Taking a narrative approach to stories told about refugees across Europe, it puts forward the argument that access to asylum has gradually moved away…
Lesbian brides
The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of lesbian representations in European and North American popular culture, particularly within television drama and broader celebrity culture. The abundance of “positive” and “ordinary” representations of lesbians is widely celebrated as signifying progress in queer struggles for social equality. Yet, as this article details, the terms of the visibility extended to lesbians within popular culture ofte…

Amidst Things
The review engages with three recently published works, which represent a cross-section of different approaches to studying processes related to the material world. The works consider the emergence of global systems of cotton manufacturing and its relationship to capitalism, the growth of tea consumption in Britain and its social, cultural, and economic impacts, and histories of consumption over a broad chronological and geographical span, respec…
Shopping Around
Over the Great Recession, UK households reduced real food expenditure. We show that they were able to maintain the number of calories that they purchased, and the nutritional quality of these calories, by adjusting their shopping behaviour. We document the mechanisms that households used. We motivate our analysis with a model of shopping behaviour in which households adjust shopping effort and the characteristics of their shopping basket in respo…
The Importance of Product Reformulation Versus Consumer Choice in Improving Diet Quality
Improving diet quality has been a target of public health policy. Governments have encouraged consumers to make healthier food choices and firms to reformulate food products. Evaluation of such policies has focused on the impact on consumer behaviour; firm behaviour has been less well studied. We show that the recent decline in dietary salt intake in the UK was entirely attributable to product reformulation; consumer switching between products wo…
Assessing cognitive impairment in Indigenous Australians
The Kimberley Indigenous Cognitive Assessment (KICA) was initially developed and validated as a culturally appropriate dementia screening tool for older Indigenous people living in the Kimberley. This paper describes the re-evaluation of the psychometric properties of the cognitive section (KICA-Cog) of this tool in two different populations, including a Northern Territory sample, and a larger population-based cohort from the Kimberley. In both p…

The East India Company at Home, 1757–1857
The East India Company at Home, 1757–1857 explores how empire in Asia shaped British country houses, their interiors and the lives of their residents. It includes chapters from researchers based in a wide range of settings such as archives and libraries, museums, heritage organisations, the community of family historians and universities. It moves beyond conventional academic narratives and makes an important contribution to ongoing debates aroun…
Sexualisation, or the queer feminist provocations of Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus has increasingly occupied debates at the centre of feminist engagements with popular culture. Evoking concerns around young women and 'sexualisation', Cyrus emerges as a convergent signifier of sexualised media content and the girl-at-risk. As Cyrus is repeatedly invoked in these debates, she comes to function as the bad object of young femininity. Arguing, however, that Cyrus troubles the sexualisation thesis in the provocations of h…
Imperial Families
This article critically engages with the concept of home to question what home meant and how it was constructed in eighteenth-century Britain. It particularly focuses on elite imperial families for whom ideas of home were significant, yet fragile as family members became dispersed across ever-greater distances. It uses letters as its source base to examine how families managed to construct a sense of home and belonging despite different locations…

Change, Continuity and Contradictions in May Day Celebrations in Northamptonshire
Most teachers and students of folklore and folkloristics will have encountered the widespread and persistent belief that “folklore,” including traditional beliefs and behaviours, customs and rituals, is dying. Indeed, this is a position that has characterised a great deal of folklore scholarship from the discipline's earliest days. Doubting the truth of the assumption that folklore is, almost by definition, a moribund (and slightly embarrassing) …

Cultures enfantines
Le voyageur, parfois dépaysé par l’immersion dans une autre culture, est au contraire aussitôt en terrain familier en observant un groupe d’enfants qui jouent. Pour autant, se souvient-il nécessairement des jeux de tape-mains qu’il pratiquait étant petit ? Sait-il si les enfants chantent encore « Am Stram Gram, pic et pic et colégram » quand ils « plouffent » ? Si certaines pratiques enfantines, de la cour de récréation à la rue, sont connues dep…

In Her Hands
This article examines the practices through which genteel women enacted distinctions between themselves and others in Georgian Britain. It explores how women used their hands as one object within an assemblage to present their identity. Alongside presentation, this article also considers the practices by which contemporaries read and recognized identities. By including these practices, this research demonstrates the ambiguous nature of identities…
Empire and the Country House in Early Nineteenth-Century Britain
This article explores empire's impact on British material culture. It does so by studying a particular site, the country house. The expansion of visitor numbers during the nineteenth century meant that the country house became a key site within which Britons interacted with sophisticated displays of material culture. As with texts, in "reading" for signs of imperial impact it is important to analyse not only the external aspects of objects and bu…

Contribution of Urban Water Supply to Greenhouse Gas Emissions in China
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from energy use in the water sector in China have not received the same attention as emissions from other sectors, but interest in this area is growing. This study uses 2011 data to investigate GHG emissions from electricity use for urban water supply in China. The objective is to measure the climate cobenefit of water conservation, compare China with other areas on a number of emissions indicators, and assist in de…

Return and Repetition
Repetition has long been an important tool in such fields of humanities research as literary studies and art history, in which scholars repeatedly return to texts and images to develop critically engaged understandings. Historians also need to adopt repetition as a distinct methodology, particularly in relation to the material world. Repetitive engagement with the material world has the potential to open up new research avenues for historians, th…
British Women and Cultural Practices of Empire, 1770–1940
Correspondence, travel writing, diary writing, painting, scrapbooking, curating, collecting and house interiors allowed British women scope to express their responses to imperial sites and experiences in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Taking these productions as its archive, British Women and Cultural Practices of Empire, 1770-1940 includes a collection of essays from different disciplines that consider the role of British women’s cultural pr…

Spirits of Community
In this book, K.D.M. Snell seeks to investigate the disquiets of modernity. The book examines how and when people recognised a decline in community and belonging particularly in rural settings, and how people came to represent such loss. Snell understands community as ‘social relations in a place or similar spatial area’ or ‘an occupational region or localized network’. Snell is keen to underline that the social relations under discussion may be …
