Extreme weather exposure, resource insecurity, and associations with mental health outcomes among Kenyan adolescent girls and young women
Extreme weather events (EWEs), including floods, heatwaves, and drought, increasingly undermine access to essential resources such as food, water, and sanitation, potentially worsening mental health outcomes. These links are understudied among youth in climate-affected settings. We examined experiences of traumatic EWE exposure, resource insecurity, and mental health among a prospective cohort of 597 adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) aged 1…
Climate change and resource insecurity-related mental health stressors among young adolescents in Kenya
While the links between extreme weather events and mental health have received growing attention, little is known about how climate change impacts adolescent mental health in low- and middle-income climate-affected settings. To address this gap, we conducted a multi-method qualitative study exploring how young adolescents (YAs) aged 10–14 years experience climate-related stressors across six regions in Kenya. Guided by the resource insecurity fra…

The Smithsonian’s soft power
Foreigners’ engagement with the Smithsonian provides clues to understanding what is attractive about America. There are two main draws -American science and technology and America’s immigrant community. For foreign visitors the National Air and Space Museum is the most popular. Foreign experts are especially drawn to the Institution’s science research and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. The Soft Power Rubric uses the volume and direction of ob…
India and the soft power rubric
Much has been written about India’s soft power – how much it has, its sources and origins, and its deficits and applications. This article aims to place India’s soft power in context of other nations like China and the US, by applying the Soft Power Rubric, a model that harnesses quantitative data on ordinary human interactions – like foreign visitors appearing in local street markets – to understand the relationships among countries. In this exa…
Language experiences and vocabulary development in Dominican and Mexican infants across the first 2 years
We longitudinally investigated parental language context and infants' language experiences in relation to Dominican American and Mexican American infants' vocabularies. Mothers provided information on parental language context, comprising measures of parents' language background (i.e., childhood language) and current language use during interviews at infants' birth. Infants' language experiences were measured at ages 14 months and 2 years through…
The Practicing Politics Working Group of the American Political Science Association
Ever see a problem on the news and realize that you have a solution buried on your hard drive, or tucked away in a research journal in a library corner? Ever wonder what it would be like if you the eminent political scientist were in charge of making policy decisions? Or, ever try to get information out of the government or an interview with a politician? Consider joining the Practicing Politics Working Group, a newly formed division of the Ameri…
How to Persuade Government Officials to Grant Interviews and Share Information for Your Research
Rick Farmer's article focuses on ways in which academic political scientists can influence policymakers. At the Toronto meeting of the Working Group on Practicing Politics, government political scientists also recognized that academics often are frustrated by the process of getting information from the government and cooperation from officials
Who Regulates Phones, Television, and the Internet? What Makes a Communications Regulator Independent and Why It Matters
More political scientists should engage in the debates surrounding regulation of communications networks, the infrastructure on which telecom, media, and Internet services ride. In 1990 there were 14 communications regulators worldwide, by 2007 there were 148. To fulfill World Trade Organization Agreement on Basic Telecommunications commitments, many countries aim to create regulatory agencies that are “independent.” What characterizes independen…
The Triumphant Consumer? VoIP, ?Little Smart,? and Telecom Service Reform in China
Can innovations in communications technology dilute the power of China's authoritarian government? When Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) and Little Smart (xiao lingtong) personal handyphone service first broke into China's market, they were illegal. However, consumers loved the services and demanded more. Using VOIP consumers can make cheap long distance calls. Little Smart introduced an old technology to China that makes mobile phone services…
