Philanthropy in higher education
Philanthropic partnerships are playing an increasingly prominent role in the agendas of higher education institutions. As universities seek external support to fund student equity initiatives and research, attention to how these partnerships are enacted has become critical. This paper draws on affect theory to examine the experiences of academic and professional staff involved in the operationalisation of philanthropic partnerships in Australia. …
How Ethnoracial Groups Spend Their Time
We know strikingly little about how time use varies across ethnoracial groups in the United States. We describe the daily lives of 210,586 White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian people in the nationally representative American Time Use Survey (2003-2019). Activities are similarly unpleasant for all groups, but White people spend the most time on highly pleasant leisure activities, Asian people spend the most time in unpleasant ways, and Black people s…
We’ll stop having debates
As the capacity to analyze data has mushroomed, invoking evidence to justify political opinions has gained popularity. How often do partisan organizations invoke evidence? How has this changed over time? I analyze the national party platforms from the two major American political parties since 1968 to assess when, how, and why the party organizations invoke evidence in their platforms. I introduce two categories for describing usage of evidence i…
Topics as Outcomes
Intergovernmental grants stimulate the diffusion of policy reforms, as the federal government provides states with a financial incentive to adopt policies aligned with federal priorities. Less is known about the extent to which these grants also stimulate horizontal diffusion across states. To investigate the effects of intergovernmental grants on horizontal policy diffusion, we use structural topic modeling to construct a new measure of diffusio…
Institutional Capacities, Partisan Divisions, and Federal Tensions in U.S. Responses to the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic struck during a period of extreme polarization in American politics. Unsurprisingly, responses to it quickly became politicized despite increasingly clear findings from scientific and public health communities about the most effective approaches for limiting its spread. We ask how the politicization affected pandemic response at the state level. We document and explain several kinds of state-level actions, beginning with 202…
Supporting preservice teachers to transition to university through a purposely structured Health and Physical Education subject
Transitioning to university can be challenging for many first-year students. This study focusses on a Health and Physical Education (HPE) subject delivered at an Australian regional university and designed to support first-year preservice teachers training to teach in primary schools. The aim of this mixed-methods research was to investigate if a purposely structured first-year HPE subject could support primary preservice teachers’ confidence to …
Mea Culpa? The Role of Data Collection in Public Officials Acknowledging Policy Failure
State governments, often described as “laboratories of democracy,” design and implement many public policies, but this moniker also implies course correction when initial efforts fail. But how do states learn from failure? Existing hypotheses about policy learning and broad research capacity are insufficient. I argue that a state’s bureaucratic capacity to gather data—distinct from its analytical capacity—is necessary for public officials to ackn…

Disparities in adolescent sleep health by sex and ethnoracial group
Improving adolescent sleep health is a national priority for ameliorating health and wellbeing (Healthy People 2020), as the majority of adolescents do not get the minimum recommended amount of 8 h of sleep per night. Prior research has identified sex and ethnoracial disparities in adolescent sleep but has been limited by data availability. National studies have collected reported sleep data, while objective sleep data has been available in commu…
Survey and the 7th century in the Western Argolid
The past two decades have witnessed a major change in how archaeologists understand the Late Roman and Early Medieval landscape of Greece. The rise of survey archaeology in the late-20th century fueled a growing awareness of the ‘busy countryside’ of Late Antiquity. This complemented work in urban areas across Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean more broadly by demonstrating that Late Roman cities and their countryside experienced continued pros…
The South Stoa at Corinth
The first modern systematic excavations in the South Stoa at Corinth in 2015 revealed much about the history of this area of the later Forum and about the stoa itself prior to the installation of the Eutychia mosaic in room C (the so-called Agonotheteion) around A.D. 150. Neolithic pottery, an Early Protogeometric grave, an Archaic votive pit, and a possible industrial installation cut into the bedrock give insights into the landscape before the …
Beyond Likely Voters
DESPITE THE VILIFICATION OF RACIAL and ethnic minorities in the 2016 presidential election, a set of unprecedented outreach efforts operated between the 2012 and 2016 elections to cultivate, and even expand, the Republican Party’s appeal. For example, on 29 September 2013, the Libre Initiative, a politically conservative organization, conducted outreach to Latinos in Manassas, Virginia. In an online public announcement, Libre advertised the event…
Inter-sectoral action to support healthy and environmentally sustainable food behaviours
Pie, fry, why
This study examined the relationship between four common types of language play and their correlations with the verbal and social abilities of 3- to 5-year-old children. While observation has shown that children this age produce a range of play, research has not yet examined whether play is a measurable skill connected to preschoolers’ language development. In this study, we designed four language play elicitation games involving creating rhymes,…
Planning for Peri-urban Agriculture
Agriculture on the fringes of cities across the Global North is increasingly perceived as making an important contribution to urban sustainability. As Australian cities continue to expand and encroach on their peri-urban peripheries, there is rising concern about loss of farmland to housing. Such concerns are especially urgent in the Sydney Basin, due to population growth, and topographical and land-use constraints. Accounting for the Basin's far…
Beyond ‘local’ food
The localisation of food production, particularly in the form of urban/peri‐urban agriculture, is only gaining increasing public and political attention in industrialised nations such as Australia amid growing concerns about urban sustainability. Small‐scale family farmers on the peri‐urban fringe of cities such as Sydney, Australia's largest city, are considered key actors in the creation of a more sustainable and just urban food system by those…
Formulating policy activities to promote healthy and sustainable diets
Objective To develop a policy formulation tool for strategically informing food and nutrition policy activities to promote healthy and sustainable diets (HSD). Design A policy formulation tool consisting of two complementary components was developed. First, a conceptual framework of the environment–public health nutrition relationship was constructed to characterise and conceptualise the food system problem. Second, an ‘Orders of Food Systems Cha…
An integrated approach to identifying and characterising resilient urban food systems to promote population health in a changing climate
Objective To determine key points of intervention in urban food systems to improve the climate resilience, equity and healthfulness of the whole system. Design The paper brings together evidence from a 3-year, Australia-based mixed-methods research project focused on climate change adaptation, cities, food systems and health. In an integrated analysis of the three research domains – encompassing the production, distribution and consumption sector…

The Last of the Corinthians? Society and Settlement from 146 to 44 bce
This chapter examines the topic of Corinth during the interim period using all currently available evidence. It first updates the state of research on the interim period. Over the past several years there have been rapid developments relating to the recent excavations in the Panayia Field and new arguments for the nature of the interim period settlement and its inhabitants. The chapter then argues for continuity from the interim period into the l…
Challenging ideals of reciprocity in undergraduate teaching
Geographers are increasingly grappling with the theoretical and practical implications of integrating an ethics of reciprocity into undergraduate learning and teaching. This paper draws on the unexpected experiences of a third-year human geography research methods fieldtrip to examine the process of balancing undergraduate student learning and assessment outcomes, with tangible outputs often-desired by Indigenous tour operator partners. Reflectio…

Corinth in Contrast
In Corinth in Contrast, archaeologists, historians, art historians, classicists, and New Testament scholars examine the stratified nature of socio-economic, political, and religious interactions in the city from the Hellenistic period to Late Antiquity. The volume challenges standard social histories of Corinth by focusing on the unequal distribution of material, cultural, and spiritual resources. Specialists investigate specific aspects of cultu…
Protecting Sydney's Peri-Urban Agriculture
In Australia, as in other Western countries, peri-urban farmland is increasingly being considered a public good, contributing to urban sustainability and climate change mitigation. To retain local food production, advocates have called for the implementation of farmland protection policies that restrict urban development, such as exclusion zoning. Many such policies have been abandoned due to protests, often from the very people the policies are …

Rights to the Diverse City
Western cities are becoming increasingly culturally diverse through the intersection of processes such as international migration and the political resurgence of Indigenous peoples. The challenge remains, however, to shift from physical copresence to equal rights to the city. This article explores this challenge in an empirical case study of Aboriginal participation in plans for urban development on the fringe of Sydney, Australia’s largest city.…

Indigeneity and the intercultural city
The historical erasure of Aboriginality from the settler city has now been well documented by Australian postcolonial scholarship. The increasing cultural diversity of cities such as Sydney, however, pushes Aboriginal claims to place beyond the now familiar settler/Aboriginal dichotomy and into a more culturally complex context. Through an empirical case study of Aboriginal participation in urban planning on Sydney's western fringe this article e…
Constructing the Climb
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia's Northern Territory continues to be a contested site, as half of its 400 000 visitors continue to climb Uluru each year against the wishes of the Traditional Aboriginal Owners, the Anangu. Since being opened to tourism in the 1950s, Uluru has come to symbolise the 'heart' of the Australian nation. The influx of tourists also marked the beginning of contestations over control and access to this site bet…

Towers and Fortifications at Vayia in the Southeast Corinthia
An article describing and analyzing the rural towers in the Southeast Corinthia, Greece
One step forward, two steps back
In this paper, the contradiction of practising zero tolerance in inclusive schools is discussed using the critical method of Skrtic’s immanent critique. The authors contend that the policy of inclusive schools for all is contradicted and undermined by the practice of zero tolerance policies, especially suspensions, expulsions and segregation. Thus, inclusion and zero tolerance are not complementary, but rather mutually exclusive, both in terms of…

Demand for, Access to and Use of Community Mental Health Care
Background: A widely promoted model of mental health care and prevention appropriate to many low-income countries is one that is integrated into the local primary health care system. Aims: To examine the influence of health-seeking behaviours (demand-side factors) and the access to/availability of services (supply-side factors) on local service utilisation patterns for people with common mental disorders. Method: Two rural catchment populations o…

Photography's Theoretical Blind Spots
In the last few decades, German photographic thought has remained neglected by the majority of Anglo-American scholars, who have instead pursued poststructuralist or postmodern approaches to photography's theorization. The central argument of this article is that largely because of the absence of postmodernism and poststructuralism in the German context, a very different “photographic paradigm” may be understood to have developed in Germany; one …
Teacher preparation and the national primary science curriculum
In 1989, the progressive introduction of a National Curriculum of subjects to all maintained schools in England and Wales brought compulsory science education into the primary sectors of these two countries for the first time. Such was its considered importance, science was placed alongside English and mathematics in what became known simply as ‘the core’. As a result of its elevated profile and an immense amount of hard work and effort by teache…
Subject, Object, Mimesis
This paper will examine the critical relationship between subjectivity and objecthood established in Bernd and Hilla Bechers' photography. Building upon existing readings by Blake Stimson and Michael Fried, I argue that Adorno's aesthetic thought, and especially his category of mimesis, offers a way in which both to frame the politics of the subject and object experiences in the Bechers' photography, and to situate these culturally, contextualizi…
