When Performance Takes Priority
Engineering education is at a critical juncture where supporting student mental health is essential for fostering persistence, equity, and the development of a resilient and innovative workforce. Yet, undergraduate engineering students experiencing mental health concerns are often unlikely to seek professional help. To identify factors that account for this gap in treatment, this project administered the Undergraduate Engineering Mental Health He…

The Republic of Armenia, Migration, and Diaspora in Times of Threat and Uncertainty
Young People's Attachment to and Sense of Belonging in Armenia amid War and Displacement
This article explores the sense of belonging in the Republic of Armenia since the 2020 44-day war between Azerbaijan and Armenia among young working-age Armenians who were born in the country and newcomers from Syria (since the start of the Syrian War in 2011) and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). The article focuses on the complexity of belonging in Armenia, examining both attachment to the physical territory of the Republic of Armenia and to a broade…
Ways out of the Void? Postcolonial and Decolonial Theories in Relation to Armenia and Armenianness
The application of postcolonial theory to former Soviet socialist republics is much debated. For Tlostanova (2012) , Western theorizations of colonialism consign former Soviet socialist republics, including Armenia, to an undifferentiated void, not fully part of the Global North or South. Spivak's (2008) discussion of the Armenian case highlights the inability of conceptualizations of colonialism focused on the nation-state to account for the imp…
Indicators of Integration
This article explores the factors that influence intentions to stay in Armenia among different groups of young newcomers (aged 18-35), including ethnic Armenians displaced from Syria and Artsakh. As such, it contributes to a small body of literature on return migration to and integration in the Republic of Armenia. Drawing on a mixed methods study (surveys, focus groups, and interviews conducted across the country in 2021-2022), we found that mos…
All the Missiles Are One Missile Revisited
This essay revisits one of Polish artist Zofia Kulik’s most important ‘photocarpets’, produced in a moment of hope, retrospection yet continuing war in 1993; seen by an international public in 1997. Visually, its composition is dominated by late Soviet sculptures symbolising Mother Russia and military aggression, yet the composition, ‘kilim-like’, with an additional reference to Polish Catholicism, involves bilateral and rotational symmetries whi…

Exploring Environmental Attitudes and Forest Program Uptake with Nonindustrial Private Forest Owners in Michigan
Government programs in the United States offer benefits and opportunities to help private landowners manage their forests; however, participation is very low. Currently, little is known about the barriers landowners may face in accessing information about these programs. Using a landowner survey across four counties in Michigan, we investigate this by (1) exploring current participation in forest programs and (2) analyzing if landowners experienc…
Modernist Communities across Cultures and Media
Building Kachin
In 2011, Myanmar started its political transition after decades of military rule. In Kachin State this coincided with the breaking of a 17-year ceasefire between the Kachin Independence Organization/Army (KIO/A) and the state army, the Tatmadaw. For youth living in Kachin State, this meant that opportunities for civic and political participation opened up while at the same time their context remained volatile and uncertain. Using citizenship theo…
Haunting and the knowing and showing of qualitative research
This article focuses on the representation of qualitative sociological research to academic and non-academic audiences. It argues that a broader, ethically informed consideration of the communication of findings is required, rather than the current, audit-shaped approach, to do justice to complex (affective) data and to research participants. An important catalyst for this article is the concern that the current predominance of peer-reviewed arti…
Delivery of alcohol brief interventions in community-based youth work settings
ABIs were feasible in a range of youth work settings with some adaptation. Acceptability to staff was strongly influenced by perceived benefits, and the extent to which ABIs fitted with their project's ethos. Young people were largely comfortable with such conversations. Future implementation efforts should be based on detailed consideration of current practice and contexts. Flexible models of delivery, where professional judgement can be exercis…
The Great Leveler
This text, looking to identify and problematize the “challenge of inequality” for society today through undertaking a global history of inequality from the Stone Age to the present, is very much one of our time, and arguably one for our time. It can be aligned persuasively with how an intensifying concern about social and actually human dimensions of key societal institutions—especially economic and political ones—has followed the “first crisis o…
Water Baptism and Spirit Baptism in Luke-Acts
Despite their disagreement on the interpretation of Acts regarding reception of the Spirit, both Evangelicals and Pentecostals operate from the assumption that the purpose of Acts is to provide a normative template of experience to be repeated in later Christians. Here it is argued that the purpose of Luke-Acts in reporting on the reception of the Spirit is not to provide an experiential norm at all, but rather to highlight the contrast between J…
Visual activism and social justice
Much critical social justice research, including work employing visual methods, focuses on young people's use of public spaces leaving domestic spaces relatively unexplored. Such research tacitly maintains modernist notions of the public/private distinction in which the private sphere is considered less relevant to concerns of social justice. However, UK crime and social justice policy has increasingly intervened in the home lives of the poorest …
Digital technologies, children and young people's relationships and self-care
Children's and young people's access to and use of digital technologies have received increasing attention in recent years. While influential UK media commentators have often focused on associated risks, researchers have taken a less exclusively problem-focused approach. Children and young people's use of, for example, social media and computer games to extend the spaces available to them in which to maintain relationships, to experiment with soc…
Ferranti. A history
This volume marks an important endpoint in at least two very important respects. Firstly it does, as stated at the outset, provide a narrative of the final six years of Ferranti's long existence. S
The Origins of Modern Financial Crime
The recent global financial crisis has been characterised as a turning point in the way we respond to financial crime. Focusing on this change and ‘crime in the commercial sphere’, this text considers the legal and economic dimensions of financial crime and its significance in societal consciousness in twenty-first century Britain. Considering how strongly criminal enforcement specifically features in identifying the post-crisis years as a ‘turni…
Using Secondary Analysis to Maintain a Critically Reflexive Approach to Qualitative Research
Maintaining a 'critical reflexivity' ( Heaphy 2008 ) or 'investigative epistemology' ( Mason 2007 ) in relation to the sedimented assumptions built up over the course of one's own research history and embedded in common research boundaries, is difficult. The type of secondary analysis discussed in this paper is not an easy or quick 'fix' to the important issue of how such assumptions can embed themselves over time in methods chosen and questions …
Sad to say but my whole life is on that computer’
This short paper argues that current policy discourse may serve to divorce discussion of various social phenomena including young people's consumption, from the social structures that influence their experience of those phenomena and present barriers to change. It provides tentative suggestions as to how concerned social scientists might address this concern

Spiritless Lutheranism, Fatherless Pentecostalism, and a Proposed Baptismal-Christological Corrective
Though bilateral dialogue between Lutherans and Pentecostals at first glance looks unpromising, their already entangled histories suggest that the time is ripe to proceed. Doctrinal concerns also suggest mutual profit from dialogue. The Spirit has long since disappeared in Lutheran theology despite its importance in Luther’s theology, and the result has been the chronic Lutheran errors of scriptural inerrancy, rationalism, and moralism. Likewise,…
Home, and not some house’
Drawing on recent work highlighting sensory experience of space, this paper argues that understandings of children's and young people's relationships, including difficult family circumstances, may be enriched by taking greater account of their embodied, sensory experience of the domestic spaces in which these relationships are lived. In a study of young people's family life in the context of parental substance misuse, we found that respondents of…
When you have children, you're obliged to live'1
Recent work on biographical disruption has emphasised the critical importance of timing and context to the understanding of the effects of illness on identity. This paper takes a different approach by examining the inter-relationship between illness and key sources of identity, in this instance HIV infection and motherhood. It is argued that, viewed in this light, biographical disruption remains a powerful analytic framework with which to explore…

Young people, biographical narratives and the life grid
Research into potentially sensitive issues with young people presents numerous methodological and ethical challenges. While recent studies have highlighted the advantages of task-based activities in research with young people, the literature on life history research provides few suggestions as to effective and appropriate research tools for encouraging young people to tell their stories. This article explores the contribution that may be made to …

The Consequences of Love
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of sociological work exploring the importance and meaning of kinship. Much of this work has criticized the 'individualization' thesis according to which changes in family structures over time have been interpreted as reflecting a fundamental decline in family values. Highlighting continuities as well as change in family life, this work has also suggested ways to move beyond the individualization debate…

Challenging Childhoods
Concern is increasing about children growing up in families where there are substance use problems but relatively little is known about the perspectives of the children themselves. This article reports on a qualitative study with young people who grew up in such families, exploring their accounts of their daily lives at home, school and leisure. The study focuses on the everyday interactions, practices and processes the young people felt helped t…

Law, Morality and Regulation
This paper examines Britain's experiences of financial crimes during the second half of the nineteenth century, but it focuses on the actual processes of criminalizing business activity which have been largely neglected by scholars. Through reference to three key criminal trials dating from 1850 to 1880, observations are made on the ways in which Victorian concerns about business activity translated into responses to financial crime. In doing so,…
Identity, Genealogy and the Social Family
In this paper I discuss whether or not biographical information concerning the sperm donor should be disclosed to children conceived through donor insemination. Policies of disclosure for example in the context of adoption, have been justified on the basis of a notion of identity which emphasizes genetic ties. This notion of identity and the policies of disclosure of information concerning biological parents based on it, have been criticized by m…

Joined up’ thinking? Unsupported ‘fast-track’ transitions in the context of parental substance use
Recent policy responses to the risks entailed in ‘fast-track’ school–work transitions have targeted careleavers and young people identified as ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET). However, this approach has been criticised as diverting attention away from the fragile circumstances of others who may receive little parental or service support. We draw on a qualitative study with young people affected by parental substance use to furth…
Dams, Dam Removal, and River Restoration
This article presents the results of a hedonic property value analysis for multiple hydropower sites along the Kennebec River in Maine, including the former site of the Edwards Dam in Augusta, Maine. The effect of the removal of the Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River in Maine is examined through consumer’s marginal willingness to pay to be close to or distant from the dam site. Data from both before and after the dam was removed are used to estima…

Réalismes - Entre Révolution et Réaction
Le Regard idéologique par Bernard Rancillac est une publication extrêmement importante. Alors que l’artiste, dont les célèbres peintures sont parfois violemment politiques, délibérément sardoniques —ou carrément en référence à Mickey Mouse—, donne l’impression d’un être timide et d’une grande modestie, il est le seul, associé au groupe de la Figuration narrative, qui ait entrepris d’en étudier les origines et d’en explorer le contexte. Les différ…
Realisms - Between Revolution and Reaction
Bernard Rancillac’s Le Regard idéologique is a tremendously important publication. While the artist, whose well-known paintings can be violently political, deliberately sardonic –or pure Mickey Mouse– comes across as shy and deliberately self-deprecating, he is the only artist associated with the Figuration narrative grouping to have attempted to investigate its origins and explore its context. Attempts to market the movement internationally have…

Satan's Rhetoric
According to Christian theology, fallen angels share key similarities with human beings because they share our outcast condition. Cast to Earth and wandering in search of respite, their chief activity is their engagement and dialogue with humanity. With this probing new contribution to the study of Christianity, Armando Maggi examines this dialogue, exploring how evil spirits interacted with mankind during the early modern period. Reading innumer…

Les Ecrits d'artistes depuis 1940
Edité à l’occasion du colloque qui s’est tenu à Paris et à Caen en mars 2002, cet ouvrage d’essais rend compte de la vitalité de l’histoire de l’art contemporain en France. La diversité des propos est impressionnante, avec notamment six contributions sur l’art américain et une attention particulière, fort bienvenue, portée aux femmes artistes. Françoise Levaillant a divisé l’ouvrage en trois chapitres et huit sous-chapitres : “Ecrire à la premièr…

The ‘risk gradient’ in policy on children of drug and alcohol users
Parental drug and alcohol problems can have a profound impact on children. There is a growing policy and practice focus on this topic in the UK. Most is concerned with children of primary school age and younger. Older children tend to be neglected in the debate, and young people of age 16 years and over are mostly absent from it. It is argued here that this reflects, and is reflected in, the construction of a ‘risk gradient’ in policy and practic…
Social Perspectives and Genetic Enhancement
This paper's account of the core issues at stake in relation to genetic enhancement is presented as an alternative to mainstream liberal defenses of enhancement. The mainstream arguments are identified as being associated with reproductive autonomy, individual choice, and a `neutral', passive interpretation of technology. The alternative account is associated with the perspective of `woman' or child-bearer, with a fundamental concern for social j…

"We're not short of people telling us what the problems are. We're short of people telling us what to do"
Healthy public policy depends on effective intersectoral working between government departments, along with better use of research evidence to identify policy impacts. This study identified barriers to both these. We also demonstrated an approach to rapidly appraising the mental health effects of mainly non-health sector policies, drawing on theoretical understandings of mental health and its determinants, research evidence and policy documents. …
