Culturally sustaining approaches to STEM classroom assessment
Recent developments in the learning sciences and the design of STEM learning environments have co-occurred with an increasing focus on justice and equity for youth, particularly those who have been historically underrepresented. While advances have been made in curriculum and instruction to these ends, assessment has not caught up with this vision. In this Special Issue, we collectively ask how culturally sustaining approaches can inform assessme…
Time to act
Research on university student well-being often fails to differentiate between graduate and undergraduate students or overlooks graduate students entirely. The different characteristics of graduate (vs. undergraduate) students may contribute to unique mental health needs in this population; hence research is needed to specifically address their psychological functioning. Thus, the goals of the present study were to report on: (1) the mental healt…
How a no new coal mining treaty could align climate and coal mining interests ahead of COP31
Managing beyond water
In contemporary, natural resources dependent and specialized communities, community well-being is connected to the environment. Understanding the local connections between community well-being and the environment can provide a more complete understanding of how to manage social-ecological systems and promote community resilience. Herein, we combine semi-structured community well-being interviews with hydrologic modeling using the variable infiltr…
Defending hegemony
The catastrophic consequences of climate change are now evident with extreme weather events impacting communities and ecosystems. Against calls within civil society for dramatic decarbonisation, the continued expansion of the fossil fuel industry is constructed by governments and business as ‘common sense’. By analysing the political process surrounding the 2016 and 2017 coral bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef, we show how a fossil fuel hegemon…
Corporations and climate change
Corporations are primary emitters of greenhouse gases yet are also portrayed as key agents in responding to climate change. This overview article explains corporate responses to the climate crisis at three levels of analysis: (i) political (shaping the climate debate and influencing climate policy); (ii) organizational (enacting strategies and practices to address climate change); and (iii) individual (managers and employees caring about and acti…
Divided yet united
Environmental movements play an increasingly pivotal role in societal responses to pressing issues, such as climate change. These movements are often multi-scalar, spanning locations, ideological orientations, organisational types, and tactics. We investigate how the UK’s anti-fracking movement manages the tension between the necessary convergence of collective actions and this divergence of scale. Based on a frame analysis of press releases, pos…
‘We’re in the coal business’
Despite the worsening climate crisis and market shifts towards decarbonization, Australia remains heavily invested in carbon-intensive activities. As one of the world's largest exporters of coal and gas, Australian political economy has been dominated over the last several decades by fossil fuel expansionism. In this article, we explore how Australian corporate and political elites have defended the continuation of fossil fuel extraction and use …
Making green extreme
By marking protests as violent and protesters as extremists, politicians and governments around the world have reclassified citizens’ environmental engagement. Government rhetoric and accompanying legislative amendments establish a baseline by which citizens – and their causes – are excluded and discounted. This article contributes to understanding how environmental protesters and their activities are constructed as dangerous through analysis of …
Disrupting climate change futures
Considering the worsening climate crisis, we argue that our present conditions require a particular approach to the past in order to disrupt current intellectual trajectories. We enrol Walter Benjamin’s concept of history, via the writings of Svetlana Alexievich and Margaret Atwood, with the aim of bringing a criticality to the present to make us reconsider the ways we think about and act in our present world. Based on Alexievich and Atwood’s wor…

Changing the World? The Politics of Activism and Impact in the Neoliberal University
This article explores the political differences between academic activism and the recently emerged research impact agenda. While both claim that academic work can and should engage with and influence the world beyond the academic ‘ivory tower’, their political meaning and practice are radically different. Following the distinction made by Jacques Rancière, we argue that research impact performs a policing function which, despite its own rhetoric,…
Organizing in the Anthropocene
The functioning of the biosphere and the Earth as a whole is being radically disrupted due to human activities, evident in climate change, toxic pollution and mass species extinction. Financialization and exponential growth in production, consumption and population now threaten our planet’s life-support systems. These profound changes have led Earth System scientists to argue we have now entered a new geological epoch – the Anthropocene. In this …
Managers as consultants
The nature and extent of changes in management remain subject to debate, especially around the notion of post-bureaucracy. Most research concedes that there has been some change, but towards hybrid or neo-bureaucratic practices. However, the mechanisms through which these changes have occurred, and their precise forms and outcomes have received less attention. This article addresses these issues by focusing on an emerging group of managers that c…
Performative and political
Climate change poses a significant threat to future social and economic activities. This article seeks to understand how corporations respond to climate uncertainties and threats through the performance of different ‘risks’, including market, reputational, regulatory and physical risks. In doing this, we demonstrate how these risks are performative and political. Based on interviews and document analysis, we show how climate change risks are natu…
Troubles mentaux et tentatives de suicide chez les détenus. Le rôle du trouble du déficit de l’attention avec hyperactivité
En milieu carcéral, la prévalence des troubles mentaux et des décès par suicide atteint des proportions largement supérieures à celles de la population générale, le risque de mourir par suicide étant de 11 à 14 fois plus élevé. À partir d’un échantillon de 565 individus nouvellement incarcérés, le lien entre les tentatives de suicide et les troubles mentaux a été étudié, en mettant l’accent sur le trouble du déficit de l’attention avec hyperactiv…
Creative self-destruction
Despite the dire implications of anthropogenic climate change, societies have failed to take comprehensive action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A major reason for the lack of social and political engagement on this issue is the way in which political myths function to overcome the contradiction of environmental degradation and endless economic growth. Through a qualitative analysis of Australian business responses to climate change, we outl…
Voices from the front lines of the climate wars
Future imaginings
Climate change has rapidly emerged as a major threat to our future. Indeed the increasingly dire projections of increasing global average temperatures and escalating extreme weather events highlight the existential challenge that climate change presents for humanity. In this editorial article we outline how climate change not only presents real, physical threats but also challenges the way we conceive of the broader economic, political and social…
Future imaginings and the battle over climate science
Professor Michael Mann is one of the world’s leading climate scientists and best known for his work on historical temperature trends and hemispherical climate reconstructions, including the iconic ‘hockey stick’ graph of long-term temperature variations. As a result of his work, Professor Mann became a central target of criticism from conservative politicians, industry groups and the climate change denial industry. The following edited interview …
Imagining the climate crisis and the great disruption
Paul Gilding has had an extensive career in environmental activism and as a sustainability consultant to major global companies. His recent book The Great Disruption (Gilding, 2011), argues that consumer capitalism has reached it ecological and economic limits and we are entering a fundamental crisis. The following edited interview was conducted with Paul in January 2013 and explores how he imagines the future of a climate-shocked world
Incorporating citizens
Studies of corporate citizenship have considered how corporations shape the delivery of basic rights. While liberal commentators argue that corporations can act as protectors of citizenship rights where state regulation is lacking, more radical commentators claim that corporations seek to obstruct the rights of citizens. In this article we build on theories of hegemony to argue that corporate citizenship can be more fruitfully understood as an at…

P1-492 Predictors of childhood physical activity
Introduction Conflicting evidence exists for associations between birth weight and childhood physical activity (PA) levels. It is important to know what other, potentially modifiable, factors influence PA in children given its' association with adiposity. Our aim was to identify predictors of childhood PA levels in the Gateshead Millennium Study (GMS), a population based cohort of 1029 infants born in 1999–2000 in Gateshead, Northern England. Met…
Material and Memory
Despite frequently making use of photographs in their fieldwork and research, anthropologists rarely take account of their materiality. The identity of photography as a medium and its phenomenological status is, from the outset, assumed as given. There is no concern for what photography actually is in different cultural contexts. Recognizing photographs as material culture is a way to address this blind spot, and suggests that any methodological …

Taylorism Reconsidered
The dominance of Taylorism or scientific management in capitalist work has become an article of faith within academic literature. Despite significant debate amongst labour process writers over this issue, the new wave of post-Fordist thinking has once again reasserted the traditional primacy of Taylorism as a counter to new forms of organisation which are claimed to be developing. Subsumed under a broader rubric entitled 'Fordism', the principles…

Preaching to the Converted
A paradox is noted in the presentation of conversion in TV evangelism; this is that although the necessity of being converted is a common theme it is clear that the evangelists are aware that their audience is already converted. An attempt is made to resolve the paradox by showing how TV evangelists use conversion language as rhetoric to legitimate their role and the rationality of the organisation which they represent. It is further shown how th…

Introduction to Electronics
A ten-week sophomore introductory electronics course taught in modified self-paced format is described. Significant factors are the successful transfer of this course from another university, the better performance of the self-study section compared with concurrent lecture sections on identical examinations, and the use of simple experimental circuits in the tutoring process (some of these circuits are illustrated herein). A careful study of the …

Cervix and breast cancer incidence in immigrant Caribbean women
Cervix and breast cancer incidence in 1978-82 was computed for immigrant and United States-born Black women in Brooklyn, New York. Compared to the national SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) rates, US-born and Haitian women had high rates of invasive cervical cancer, while English-speaking Caribbean immigrants had an average rate. However, while US-born women had an average rate of carcinoma in situ of the cervix, both immigrant gr…

had a significant impact on the creation, development, and direction of research in dental anthropology in the U.S. and internationally. We have selected a small, but international group of dental anthropologists whose research methods and interests reflect, and have been impacted by Dahlberg's influence. The unifying theme of this symposium, dental morphology and evolution, is broadly conceived to include papers on dental genetics, development, …

Retooling the Class Factory
Elizabeth Faue's paper challenges a number of conventional perspectives of labour history. In particular her argument for the need to account for the subjective meaning of class identity and to develop a broader conception of labour history beyond the workplace and beyond institutions suggests a significant departure from the traditional focus upon the formal institutions of the organised labour movement. Her paper makes a number of important con…

A Consulting Diaspora? Enterprising Selves as Agents of Enterprise
While the concept of enterprise identity has been extensively discussed, the active role of individuals in promoting enterprise is less understood. This article presents enterprising selves not simply as a self-disciplinary outcome of power, but as agential, whereby actors support regimes of enterprise, either actively or symbolically. In particular, it explores a neglected group—former management consultants working as change agents within organ…

Florentine alum mining in the Hospitaller islands
This article publishes a document from the archives of the Order of Saint John recording the Hospitallers’ concession of an alum exploration and mining monopoly, an appalto, to a group of Florentines in 1442, and examines the implications of this agreement for the economic development of the Latin East in this period. This enterprise forms part of a pattern showing Florentine merchants attempting to extend their activities further up the alum sup…
