Trauma‐Informed Practice in Welfare‐to‐Work and Employment Services
There is increasing recognition within welfare services, including employment services, that many participants may have histories of trauma. Research suggests that experiences of trauma not only impact individuals' psychosocial health but also vocational elements such as job performance, employability, career progression, and financial security. Yet, there is a notable lack of research detailing effective strategies for the delivery of trauma‐inf…
Nationalism, populism and climate scepticism in Australia
Climate scepticism and hostility to climate policy are common features of populist radical right (PRR) parties. Yet these attributes emerged first in many established conservative centre-right (CCR) parties, especially in Anglophone countries. Given these overlaps, and the growing support for PRR in many countries, are CCR parties also recruiting PRR or developing their own distinctive brand of nationalist populism to legitimate opposition to cli…
The Colors of Legislative Performance
Recent research from the United States demonstrates lawmakers are marginalized in the legislative process based on ethno-demographic characteristics such as gender, race, and complexion. Is this theoretical explanation generalizable to different country contexts? Examining data from the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, we assess how skin color affects access to leadership and legislative effectiveness—controlling for relevant variables, including sex…
Quality or Complexion? Experience and Skin Tone as Determinants of Electoral Success in Mexico
Objective Recent research suggest that skin color discrimination influences electoral outcomes. This article tests the empirical robustness and generalizability of these findings, incorporating candidates’ quality as an alternative explanation for electoral success. Methods We examine data from the 2024 General Election in Mexico. In addition to the variables considered by others before (i.e., human‐coded complexion, incumbency, college degree, s…
Diaspora Humanitarianism
This paper investigates diasporas’ mobilization in response to humanitarian crises, in comparison to the ‘traditional’ humanitarian sector. We develop a conceptual framework through which we analyze eight Australia‐based diasporas’ responses to humanitarian crises. We find that diaspora humanitarian interventions are premised on transnational reciprocal relationships and care practices that bind people together. Diaspora crisis responses signific…
Diaspora Humanitarians
During humanitarian crises, diasporas often contribute vital support to the survival and reconstruction of their communities of origin. This ‘diaspora humanitarianism’ reshapes the international humanitarian system, but its scope, modality and impact remain understudied, partly due to the ‘invisible’ nature of diaspora interventions. This paper expands the understanding on the how and why diasporas engage in humanitarian responses, by examining s…
Automated transcoloration? Skin tone classification algorithms and the prominence of non-epidermic features in the Mexican racial schema
The scale of anti-racist research employing independent measures for skin tone (i.e., classification algorithms and colorimeters) is increasingly growing. However, recent studies reveal that non-epidermic traits (i.e., hair, lips, gender) contribute to the transcoloration –whitening or darkening– of perceived skin tone, signaling that their importance in the racialization process has been underestimated. The magnitude of this effect of non-epider…
Ethnic quotas and political representation in Colombia
Interest convergence in the Land of the Cosmic Race
Recent contributions to the academic literature describe Mexican racism as structural: an unintended blameless outcome of the combined actions of many individuals and institutions. This conceptualization appears to hamstring individual motivation for collective action: who is responsible for redressing the injustice and why? In this paper, I appeal to interest convergence - a key tenet of Critical Race Theory - to argue that Mexican anti-racism c…
The colours of lawmaking
A growing body of empirical research in Latin America reveals a correlation between skin colour and disadvantages in income, health, education, and employment. The impact of skin colour in the political sphere, however, remains severely understudied. Is there any evidence to suggest racialised political underrepresentation in Latin America? To analyse the status of ethno-racial representation in Mexico, this paper uses the Classification Algorith…
Classification Algorithm for Skin Color (Casco)
Objective A growing body of literature reveals that skin color has significant effects on people's income, health, education, and employment. However, the ways in which skin color has been measured in empirical research have been criticized for being inaccurate, if not subjective and biased. Objective Introduce an objective, automatic, accessible and customizable Classification Algorithm for Skin Color (CASCo). Methods We review the methods tradi…
Avoiding backlash
Structural race-based inequalities in Mexico cannot be denied. Anthropologists and social scientists have thoroughly documented racism at both personal and systemic levels. Following I.M. Young’s framework, this paper identifies two possible pathways for the anti-racist movement in Mexico: the liability and the social connection models. The former uses guilt to assign responsibility —it requires an agent to be voluntarily and causally connected t…
