Are narrative story stem methods valid in “non-Western” contexts? A systematic review
Narrative story stem techniques (NSSTs) offer insight into attachment and other representational aspects of preschool to young school aged children’s inner lives. While the method moved into the academic and clinical mainstream some 35 years ago, their applicability to “non-Western” contexts remains little understood. This synthesis comprises 31 NSST studies of samples from parts of Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, and from …
Law Beyond the Legal Renaissance
The introduction to this special issue lays out its approach to the phenomenon of jurisdiction during the European central Middle Ages. Rethinking jurisdiction, we argue, is key to understanding the profound change the period underwent in terms of its law and legal culture. We explain, first, why ‘legal pluralism’ has not offered a meaningful structure to understand the creativity inherent in law-making (in all its senses) in this period. Second,…
Politics from Law or Law as Politics? Hugh of Poitiers’s Chronica and the Politics of ius in the Mid-twelfth Century
This paper considers the relationship between the modern concepts of law and politics and the twelfth-century concept of ius (‘law, right’) in a chronicle written by a monk, Hugh of Poitiers, between the 1140s and 1160s. This chronicle documented the conflict over Vézelay Abbey, which involved some of the major ecclesiastical, monastic, royal and comital players of Western Europe. The paper argues that, by focussing on the chronicler's use of the…
Lordship in the Later Middle Ages
Over the last few years, a number of articles have featured in Past and Present on the subject of late medieval lordship. Three were accepted within a four-month period between July and October 2023 (Christian D. Liddy, ‘The Making of Towns, the Making of Polities’; Tristan W. Sharp, ‘Seigneurial Predation in the Late Medieval Feud’; Frederik Buylaert, Thijs Lambrecht, Klaas Van Gelder, and Kaat Cappelle, ‘The Political Economy of Seigneurial Lor…
Identifying Opportunities for Early Detection of Cerebral Palsy
This study aimed to evaluate assessment and referral practices for the early detection and diagnosis of children at risk for or with cerebral palsy (CP) by health care and education providers in Maryland and Delaware. A secondary aim was to identify barriers for using early detection tools and identify opportunities for change to support early diagnosis and improve care. Seventy-two participants answered ≥ 50% of the survey questions. Most were o…
Student-feminist movement relationships in post-dictatorship Brazil and Chile
A lounge of one’s own
In this essay, the authors consider the recent discrimination law decision of the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in relation to the ‘Ladies Lounge’, an artwork by Kirsha Kaechele at the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart. The article first considers the question of whether there was unlawful direct discrimination before turning to the application of defences (referred to as ‘exceptions’ in the relevant legislation, the Anti-Discrimi…
Homage, Overlordship and the Consequences of Peace
This article re-examines the relationships between the kings of the English and the Scots during the period 1209–15 following the discovery of the main text of the Treaty of Norham in 1209. Analysing the lead-up to the treaty and its aftermath transforms our understanding of the political options available to William, king of Scots (1165–1214), towards the end of his long reign and, in so doing, highlights further the political wrangling which oc…
Religious schools
Discrimination laws have long contained exceptions for otherwise unlawful discriminatory conduct.An increasing site of tension has been the exceptions granted to religious schools.These schools maintain that they should be able to adopt an approach to education which reflects the faith-based ethos of the school community.However, there are concerns that some faith-based approaches can cause harm to, and exclude, LGBTIQ+ staff and students.An appr…
Co-authoring speeches, constructing collective identity
Youth movements rose in Brazil in the past decade, fighting for equitable access to education alongside plural – anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and feminist – struggles. This article examines interactions by which Brazilian youth activists organise, politicise, and define who constitutes a movement. It focuses on a 2019 public hearing to defend race- and class-based affirmative action. Taking a discursive analytic approach situated within a broade…
Common Law, Civil Law, and Colonial Law
Common Law, Civil Law, and Colonial Law builds upon the legal historian F.W. Maitland's famous observation that history involves comparison, and that those who ignore every system but their own 'hardly came in sight of the idea of legal history'. The extensive introduction addresses the intellectual challenges posed by comparative approaches to legal history. This is followed by twelve essays derived from papers delivered at the 24th British Lega…
A data-driven classification of outcome behaviors in those who cause concern to British public figures
Fixated individuals pose a significant threat to public figures. Previous research compares individuals labeled ‘approachers’ to those labeled ‘communicators.’ Typically, such studies compare a number of risk factors among the two groups to identify significant differences. This has impactful implications for the threat assessment and management of the pathologically fixated. The present study builds upon this established body of work by consider…
Richardson v Oracle more than half a decade on
In 2014, the decision in Richardson v Oracle significantly increased compensation awards for victims of discrimination and sexual harassment. Commentators referred to the decision as ‘ground-breaking’ and hypothesised that the floodgates would open for sexual harassment and discrimination cases. This article reviews these claims seven years on and asks: did the floodgates open? Case law review and analysis concludes that, while the ground did not…
The place of tattoos, beards and hairstyles in discrimination law
Traditional rationales for discrimination law often focus on the immutability of characteristics. Pursuant to these rationales, discrimination should be prohibited where it relates to a characteristic that a person cannot change, or where the characteristic is so connected to a person’s identity that they should not be forced to change. Thus, discrimination is wrongful where the characteristic is an ‘accident of birth’. But the reach of discrimin…
Scotland’s Second War of Independence, 1332–1357, by Iain A. MacInnes
One of the main strengths of Iain MacInnes’s book on Scotland’s ‘second war of independence’ is to bring the extraordinary political turmoil which erupted north of the Anglo-Scottish border in the second quarter of the fourteenth century to a wider audience. As MacInnes points out, Scotland’s ‘second war’ of independence, lasting from the invasion of Scotland by King John Balliol’s son, Edward Balliol, in 1332, to the 1357 truce made between the …

The Conflicting Purposes of Australian Anti-Discrimination Law
The underlying rationale for prohibiting discrimination continues to be subject to significant debate. This debate leads to a lack of clarity with respect to the kinds of harms anti-discrimination law is designed to prevent and the kinds of behaviours it is designed to capture. A frequent criticism of the Australian courts’ approach to discrimination law is that it fails to grapple with the underlying purpose of anti-discrimination law. The conse…
Formalising Aristocratic Power in Royal Acta in Late Twelfth- And Early Thirteenth-Century France and Scotland
Our understanding of the development of secular institutional governments in Europe during the central Middle Ages has long been shaped by an implicit or explicit opposition between royal and lay aristocratic power. That is to say, the growth of public, institutional and/or bureaucratic central authorities involved the decline and/or exclusion of noble aristocratic power, which thus necessarily operated in a zero-sum game. While much research has…
Magna Carta
Portugal’s Masculinities Crisis
Europe's financial crisis has precipitated the implementation of adjustment programs, led by a Troika of global institutions (European Union, International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank). A disruption of the economic environment is taking place, with serious effects on social and family cohesion. The fast impoverishment of already vulnerable populations has led to an increase in social inequalities, while shifting relations between men…
The Assizes of David I, king of Scots, 1124–53
David I, king of Scots (1124–53), has long wielded a posthumous reputation as one of Scotland's most important lawmakers. Yet there has been little scholarly attention paid to the ‘assizes’ circulating under his name; indeed, the identification of a coherent and stable text of David's laws has long been thought a false hope. This article argues that this view is mistaken: the original structure and content of the so-called ‘Assizes of David’ can …

Historical writing in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Scotland
This article examines the first three items in a manuscript housed in the Royal Library in Madrid but written at the Benedictine abbey of Dunfermline in Fife, Scotland during the reign of James III (1460–88). It argues that the three items were originally put together during the reign of Alexander III (1249–86) and together formed a compilation which should be viewed as the earliest extant history of the twelfth- and thirteenth-century kings of S…
Leges Scocie and the Lawcodes of David I, William the Lion and Alexander II
This paper examines Leges Scocie (LS), the main source used by Patrick Wormald in ‘Anglo-Saxon Law and Scots Law’. It is shown here that the capitula of LS reveal much not only about the development of legal procedure in Scotland but also about the nature of medieval Scottish society in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. In the process of this discussion, some conclusions put forward by Wormald about this material are questioned. This pa…
