Global health benefits of policies to reduce on-road vehicle pollution through 2040
Air pollution from road transport-related tailpipe emissions is a well-documented risk to human health. This study assesses the health impacts of these emissions under business-as-usual and various policy scenarios across 186 countries and territories, including 13 135 urban areas, until 2040, at a 1 km resolution. We evaluate emissions for 15 scenarios based on different combinations of key emission control measures. We use Goddard Earth Observi…
Phronetic genetics
Balancing technological innovation with social values remains an important, if understudied, topic for contemporary political theory. This paper explores the question of how clever but disruptive technologies like the gene-editing tool CRISPR can solve challenging technical problems while adhering to democratic values and governance. Like most tools, CRISPR can enhance human life or diminish it. We therefore need a way of distinguishing between v…
Proleptic Apologia and William R. Johnson's Ordination Rhetoric
Attuning to a significant, yet understudied, thread of early 1970s gay rights advocacy, this essay analyzes William R. Johnson's ordination rhetoric. Johnson became the first openly gay individual to become ordained in a mainline denomination in the United States, and his rhetoric represents a landmark example of queer Christian advocacy. During his ordination process, Johnson used proleptic apologia to minimize his sexuality as he developed an a…
Toward “Decolonizing” Clinical Social Work Practice and Education
There are many examples of colonization in social work practice: policing parenting practices of people from a range of cultural traditions using a Western notion of what is suitable and in the best interests of children (Miller, 2023;Roberts, 2020Roberts, 2022)), individualizing psychosocial problems in a decontextualized way (Miller, 2012(Miller, , 2023)), and the panoply of norms and practices of psychotherapy (e.g., weekly, 50-minute sessions…
Tobacco Industry Efforts to Respond to Smoke-Free Policies in Multi-Unit Housing
The tobacco industry's efforts to undermine clean indoor air policies in the hospitality industry, public spaces and workspaces is well documented, but less is known about their efforts to respond to the implementation of smoke-free policies in multi-unit housing (MUH). From 1988 to 2018, public and private multi-unit housing properties voluntarily implemented smoke-free polices in their buildings. We searched the UCSF's Truth Tobacco Industry Do…
The Cambridge Companion to Twenty-First Century American Fiction
Reading lists, course syllabi, and prizes include the phrase '21st-century American literature,' but no critical consensus exists regarding when the period began, which works typify it, how to conceptualize its aesthetic priorities, and where its geographical boundaries lie. Considerable criticism has been published on this extraordinary era, but little programmatic analysis has assessed comprehensively the literary and critical/theoretical outpu…

The politics of pronouns
Outgroup hostility and racialized language were the most important predictors of support for Trump in the 2016 election season. Some scholarship argues that outgroup hostility outweighs the importance of white ingroup attitudes. Using a mix-methods content analysis of Trump’s campaign speeches, this paper agrees that outgroup hostility was the primary rhetorical device used by Trump in his speeches in both the primary and general elections. This …
Prenatal Genetic Screening, Epistemic Justice, and Reproductive Autonomy
Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) promises to enhance women's reproductive autonomy by providing genetic information about the fetus, especially in the detection of genetic impairments like Down syndrome (DS). In practice, however, NIPT provides opportunities for intensified manipulation and control over women's reproductive decisions. Applying Miranda Fricker's concept of epistemic injustice to prenatal screening, this article analyzes how med…
The Four Pandemics
COVID 19 interacts with white supremacy, economic insecurity and politcal terrorism, adversely affecting many people and populations. This article considers the consequences of these four interacting pandemics and suggests that social work, particularly clinical social work, requires radical revisioning and decolonizing to be able to ethically and adequately serve affected people
The global burden of transportation tailpipe emissions on air pollution-related mortality in 2010 and 2015
Emissions from the transportation sector are a major contributor to ambient air pollution, the leading environmental health risk factor globally. This study aims to quantify the contribution of tailpipe emissions from global transportation, disaggregated by four sub-sectors, to the global disease burden associated with ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) and ground-level ozone in 2010 and 2015. We use the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport…

The Historical Presidency
Presidents obtained the power to maintain law and order when they used key executive branch institutions—such as the Department of War, U.S. Attorney General’s Office, and the State Department—to recover fugitive slaves. To date, there has been little discussion in political science about the development of the president’s power to maintain law and order. As a result of this gap, political scientists have missed how race has contributed to the in…
Disconnecting the Other
In 1931, Editorial Apolo released El enigma del despertar de China, an essay on contemporary China dealing with varied topics such as rituals, traditions, feminism, Christianity, pedagogy, Malthusianism, communism, and literature.

When There Are No Therapists
A social disaster is when categories of people are politically or socially targeted by virtue of their social identities and suffer ongoing targeting and oppression. Survivors of social disasters often experience similar traumatic symptoms as those of survivors of natural disasters but, unlike most other types of disasters, the threats that caused the trauma and the conditions that undermine survivor’s identity, safety, trust, and sense of contro…
Languages of Modern Jewish Cultures
This collection of essays brings to Jewish Language Studies the conceptual frameworks that have become increasingly important to Jewish Studies more generally: transnationalism, multiculturalism, globalization, hybrid cultures, multilingualism, and interlingual contexts. Languages of Modern Jewish Cultures collects work from prominent scholars in the field, bringing world literary and linguistic perspectives to generate distinctively new historic…
Reprobation as Shared Inquiry
Respect for victims requires that we have social systems for punishing and condemning (reproving) serious crimes. But, the conditions of social marginalization and political subordination of the communities from which an overwhelming number of prisoners in the United States come place serious barriers in the face of effective reprobation. Mass incarceration makes this problem worse by disrupting and disrespecting entire communities. While humanit…
Crashing, Chaos, Culture and Connection
This essay considers the experience of a seasoned disaster responder who encountered a personal disaster while traveling in Thailand. The resulting injury and helplessness led to new insights about mortality, vulnerability, culture and the significance of social trust-echoing lessons gained from professional experiences, but giving them new meaning and resonance

Accented America
This book is a study of prominent and less‐familiar works of U.S. literary modernism that reveals a long history of English‐only Americanism: the political claim that U.S. citizens must speak a nationally distinctive form of English. This perspective presents U.S. literary works written between the 1890s and the 1940s as playfully, painfully, and ambivalently engaged with language politics, thereby rewiring both narrative form and national identi…
Everything has Changed
In this qualitative study of the Vietnamese American community of Biloxi, Mississippi, conducted three years after Katrina, we attended not only to individual experiences but to the relationship of individuals to their collective and social worlds. The interlocked relationship of individual and collective loss and recovery are clearly demonstrated in respondents' narratives. The neighborhood and community of Little Saigon was significant not only…
Discourses for Social Justice Education
This article presents two conceptual frames to help with teaching about issues of race and racism. First the concept of the web of racism describes a matrix that helps students understand the depth of damage racism has instilled in contemporary U.S. society. Second, the web of resistance offers a model of anti-racist activities to help students participate in the fight to end systemic racism. The importance of placing racism in a historical conte…
The Web of Institutional Racism
This article identifies major forms of institutional racism in the United States today. It considers how taken together they form a web of oppression which obstructs economic, social, and political mobility for people of color while white people are issued passports of privilege. The implications of this enduring form of social inequality for social workers and other helping professionals are considered. Key Words: Institutional racismracismdiscr…

I. The Ghostly Body Politic
Talking when talking is tough
Conversations that involve aspects of social identity are important to engage in, yet challenging. They involve diverse experiences, worldviews and differential social power and privilege. This paper explores why it is important to engage in difficult conversations about social identity, what the consequences are of avoiding them, what makes them challenging, and how to create an environment where such conversations can occur

No Success like Failure
Norman Mailer, well known as a novelist, is not commonly thought of as a contributor to American political thought. Yet in The Armies of the Night, a fictionalized autobiographical account of the 1967 march on the Pentagon, Mailer develops a theory of "symbolic/existential" politics embodied in the politics of the New Left. This article explores Mailer's theory, showing how the symbolic politics of the New Left differed from the politics of the c…

A family's sense of power in their community
In this paper it is argued that the family's sense of its own power is highly contingent on its relationship to the surrounding community. Power is conceptualized as both an external situation and an internal process of constructing meaning. Traditional approaches to the study of power are reviewed, as well as relevant theoretical and research models. It is suggested that a social constructionist perspective, in‐depth interviewing, ethnography, a…

Societal neglect and violence towards children
There has been significant media coverage of violence by children towards other children. This article argues that such violence can be understood in the context of societal neglect and mistreatment of children. The interplay between the political economy, moral economy, and a public discourse that scapegoats and denigrates vulnerable people is examined. Ten ways that children are being neglected and harmed by society are described. The author ch…
"The Discourse of Denigration and the Creation of "Other
This paper attempts to reduce the distance between intellectual frameworks that inform different fields of social work practice by exploring the relationships between intrapsychic mechanisms, family dynamics, small group processes and such society wide phenomena as public denigration, scapegoating, and the systematic oppression of politically targeted population subgroups. Clinical theories are used to explore disturbing social trends such as the…
