The impact of mental health literacy on resource utilization for academic stress in a diverse student cohort
Academic stress among some college students has intensified in the post-pandemic landscape. While stress management strategies for college students have been explored, it remains essential to investigate which resources students utilize to reduce academic stress and which are most helpful, particularly in diverse populations. Additionally, it is important to explore how mental health literacy (MHL), a contributing factor in the recognition of men…
Gender Differences in Disaffiliation from Orthodox Judaism
Religious disaffiliation from Orthodox Judaism is becoming more prevalent and of interest to researchers. In Orthodox Judaism, though gender norms dictate everyday life, research on the role of gender in disaffiliation is scarce. This study analyzed data from a parent study describing the personal experiences of men and women raised as Orthodox Jews who either disaffiliated from the practice (N women = 153, N men = 153) or continued practicing (N…
Religious Disaffiliation From Orthodox Judaism
Studies investigating disaffiliation from Orthodox Judaism typically utilize samples composed of disaffiliated individuals, without a comparison group of affiliated individuals for reference. This research investigation measured 21 social, psychological, and intellectual experiences in disaffiliated and affiliated Orthodox Jewish individuals primarily in the United States to determine which factors were predictive of disaffiliation, a type of rel…
Attributions of LGBTQ+ Identity and Religious Views on Homosexuality to Disaffiliation from Orthodox Judaism
Religious disaffiliation has been found to occur at higher rates in LGBTQ+ individuals than in heterosexual individuals and in the general population. In this brief report, we explore whether LGBTQ+ people who disaffiliated from Orthodox Judaism attributed sexual identity and/or Orthodox Judaism's lack of acceptance of homosexuality to their disaffiliation. This analysis focuses on 117 individuals who identified as LGBTQ+ who were drawn from a la…
Reasons for Leaving
Investigating both the causes and initial triggers for disaffiliation from Orthodox Judaism is an important part of understanding the complex lived experiences of exiters. This study documents an extensive number of causes for leaving Orthodox Judaism, as well as initial triggers, a less-often investigated, yet important component of disaffiliation. Using an online survey, over 700 open-ended responses were collected from 303 participants who sel…
Apropos the Idea of ‘Race’ ... Again
Indeed, the dispute about whether or not the term ‘race’ should be used within science to refer to populations characterised by particular genetic profiles continues to this day. Cox set out to construct a Marxist theory of &s;race relations&s;. Consequently, when Cox was formulating his Marxist theory of &s;race relations&s;, he was doing so in a Eurocentric vacuum. When British academics began to take an interest in these domestic developments,…
Mental health literacy in a diverse sample of undergraduate students
The main contributor to variation in mental health literacy scores was having taken a clinical psychology course, followed by majoring in psychology. Importantly, our findings identified not only the high performers, but also the low performers, for whom an increase in knowledge and awareness of mental health is crucial to overall psychological well-being. These results have important implications for the design of educational interventions aimed…

Romanticism, Enlightenment and Mediation
This chapter examines the knowledge strategies of the self. The popular poet Edward Young and the author and critic Anna Letitia Barbauld use the figure of the “inner stranger” to reconcile a transcendental soul with a mundane self. Through a reading of the way Samuel Taylor Coleridge takes up the same figure (in “Frost at Midnight”), the chapter traces a secularizing movement from a “porous” to a “buffered” self, so the enigmatic equivocations o…

Writers of Gothic
Ainsworth made his first venture into sensational fiction with ‘The Test of Affection’ (European Magazine, 1822), a tale that relies heavily on artificial ‘SUPERNATURAL’ devices in the ANN RADCLIFFE mode for its effect. It was followed by ‘The Spectre Bride’ (Arliss’s Pocket Magazine, 1822) and his early Gothic tales were collected in his first book, the anonymous December Tales (1823). All of this youthful work — which displays more enthusiasm t…

Romantic Misfits
The Romantic Abject
In 1833 Thomas Carlyle published a long essay on Count Cagliostro in Fraser’s Magazine. It may seem an odd choice of subject — a Sicilian mountebank from the previous century, the source of whose lasting notoriety was a bit part in the Diamond Necklace Affair that rocked pre-Revolutionary France, and whose most enduring work was the confession extracted by the Roman Inquisition, a tome published in 1792, three years previous to Cagliostro—s demis…

The Cambridge Companion to Gothic Fiction
Gothic as a form of fiction-making has played a major role in Western culture since the late eighteenth century. In this volume, fourteen world-class experts on the Gothic provide thorough and revealing accounts of this haunting-to-horrifying type of fiction from the 1760s (the decade of The Castle of Otranto, the first so-called 'Gothic story') to the end of the twentieth century (an era haunted by filmed and computerized Gothic simulations).

L'Europe de 1993. L'État, l'immigration et la restructuration de l'exclusion
Face à la création d'une Europe unie, cet article identifie deux contradictions fondamentales caractérisant le rôle de l'État dans la régulation de l'immigration vers la Communauté européenne. La première : d'une part, la reproduction encore actuelle de l'idéologie et de la réalité institutionnelle de l'État-nation et, d'autre part, l'incapacité de cet État-nation à effectuer certains changements qui tiennent compte du processus d'immigration et …
Tranced Griefs
‘Tranced Griefs’: Melville’s Pierre and the Origins of the Gothic Robert Miles I want to advance three main propositions in this essay. The first is that Herman Melville’s Pierre; or the Ambiguities is closer to the English Gothic romance than is generally understood. This apparently uncontentious statement is actually more complicated than it seems. As a genre, the Gothic romance is English in origin. However, this origin is not a simple matter …

Recent Marxist Theories of Nationalism and the Issue of Racism
This paper comments critically on certain assertions about the relationship between racism and nationalism made by recent Marxist contributions to the debate about the nature and origins of nationalism. The ideas of'race' and 'nation', and the ideologies of racism and nationalism, are shown to have certain common features which create the potential for their articulation rather than opposition. Thereafter, taking the particular example of England…

The racialization of politics in Britain
Why do some societies appear to experience little or no racial conflict? Scotland, for example, is perceived as having no race relations problem but, argue Miles and Dunlop, this does not mean an absence of racism. What distinguishes Scotland, they believe, is the absence of a ‘racialization of the political process’
Racism, Migration and the State in Western Europe
Comparative studies of post-1945 migration into Western Europe, and of the political and ideological responses to migration, have become increasingly common. While these studies demonstrate a number of common processes, their particular mode of expression can differ substantially from one country to another. This requires the development of a theoretical framework which is formulated at a level of generality which can encompass the historical spe…

Labour migration, racism and capital accumulation in western Europe since 1945
The complex relationship between labour migration and capital accumulation within Western Europe has started to receive attention and generate debate only in recent years. But with this development, analysis of specific societies and migrant groups has extended ahead of the comparative experience of labour migration. This paper is concerned with the post-war political economy of migrant labour in Western Europe, and gives particular attention to …

The Racialization of British Politics
The idea of ‘race’ was an important part of the post-1945 political and ideological context within which migration from the New Commonwealth began. This is demonstrated by an analysis of an important policy document which provides a foundation upon which to evaluate the character and significance of racism in the subsequent political process. This evaluation contrasts and comments upon rival accounts of the impact of racism offered by writers who…
Nationality, Citizenship, and Migration to Britain, 1945-1951
The author focuses on the efforts made by the Labour government in the United Kingdom to meet the labor shortage that occurred following World War II by encouraging immigration. particular he considers the the paradox in which the efforts to attract immigrants were directed toward Europe although changes were being made at the same time to the British nationality law to ensure that the populations of British colonies and Commonwealth countries re…
Refugees or Migrant Workers? The Case of the European Volunteer Workers in Britain (1946–1951)
This article examines the post-1945 Labour Government's programme of recruiting Displaced Persons to work in a number of industries and services deemed essential for economic recovery and suffering from labour shortages. By incorporating elements of both a political and an economic migration, and by recruiting refugees to fill labour shortages, the scheme challenges the conventional dichotomies made between free and forced migrations and between …
The riots of 1958
The 1958 riots in Britain have received only limited attention. Those who have written about them have all assumed that they were ‘race‐related’. The paper argues, contra this orthodoxy, that the riots were the site for political and ideological conflict, and that particular political and ideological relations ensured that the idea of ‘race’ came to be used to interpret them
Recovering the history of Asian migration to Scotland
A considerable amount of work has been published recently which seeks to document the history of the presence of people of South Asian and Caribbean origin in Britain. This welcome addition to the literature is marred only by the almost total silence about the Scottish dimension of this history. A task of historical recovery therefore remains, and this paper initiates that task by demonstrating not only that people of colonial origin have been re…
