A Path Forward: Addressing Current Issues in Campus Racial Climate Research and Practice

Abstract: Attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion threaten to undo much of the work of creating and maintaining diverse learning and working environments for students, faculty, and staff. In honor of ACPA's 100th anniversary, we reflect on the current threats to the campus racial climate, highlight research that informs our scholarship and practice, and offer strategies for resistance. We close with a consideration of critical hope as necessary to the pursuit of equity-centered work during this turbulent period in higher education.

The Journal of Law and Society in context: a bibliometric analysis

AbstractOn this, the occasion of its 50th anniversary, we employ a quantitative analysis of the Journal of Law and Society (JLS) to chart empirically the evolution of socio‐legal studies in the United Kingdom (UK). By tracing the influence(s) of the JLS upon the development of UK socio‐legal research, not only do we demonstrate a new mode of exploring knowledge production in the field of socio‐legal studies, but we also illustrate how computational methods can augment hermeneutical approaches to mapping socio‐legal trends. Through (a blend of) three different analytical approaches – descriptive analyses of bibliographic metadata, text‐linguistic analyses of a corpus of full‐text articles, and network analyses of citation graphs – we generate comparative information about the JLS since its inception in 1974. We then employ this data to interrogate the JLS’ own narratives; using predictions, ambitions, and statements of intent made by Editor‐in‐Chief Phil Thomas published either within or regarding the JLS, we present a map of the journal's role within, impact upon, and enduring contribution to UK socio‐legal studies. Finally, we discuss our results and propose future directions of the field.

Beyond Boundaries: Reverend Charles Nerinckx and Sisters of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross

ABSTRACT: This article focuses on the life and legacy of Reverend Charles Nerinckx (1761–1824), Belgian missionary and priest-founder of the Sisters of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross, on the 200th anniversary of his death. As a fugitive from Napoleonic religious suppression in his native Belgium, where he had been forced into hiding, Nerinckx developed a strong sense of Christian conscience in regard to human suffering. Among his notable contributions, he envisioned a new type of religious community in borderland Kentucky soon after his arrival there in 1805, one that allowed multiple forms of belonging, including an interracial group of oblates and a Black sisterhood.

Girl on the Move from Syria

Growing up in Aleppo, Syria, for the first twenty years of my life, I listened to my grandparents’ stories of their experiences and their survival of the Armenian Genocide (1915 to 1916) alongside the stories of my parents growing up as refugees in Syria. Approaching the 100th anniversary of the Genocide when I was 18, I did not ever expect to relive the suffering and challenges faced by my grandparents and parents let alone end up with the status of refugee. At the time of my graduation from high school, the war hit Syria. Everything that had been beautiful was annihilated or destroyed and happiness turned into profound suffering. In front of me was evidence of the terrible experiences that I had heard about only in the stories of my parents and grandparents. In addition to this, I saw my opportunity and my right to higher education vanish.

Elections and partisanship: analyzing the results of the 2023 general elections in Turkey

ABSTRACT On the 100th anniversary of the Republic, Turkey experienced another multi-party election. This paper aims to analyse the role partisanship played in determining the outcomes of the 2023 General Elections. The literature provides valuable insights about the effects of partisanship on the vote choice in Turkey, and underscores the influence of political socialization, newly emerging political parties, clientelist ties and voters’ threat perceptions on party identification. To contribute to this literature, this study provides individual level analysis of the data gathered via Turkish Election Studies (TES) and compares the results of 2018 and 2023 elections. This comparison includes comparative examination of partisanship vis-à-vis the effects of such individual variables as social class, political ideology, voters’ perceptions of the recent performance of the macro economy, and cultural identities. The findings show that partisanship and cultural divisions seem to be crucial determinants of vote choices in Turkey.

Considering Second World War Archaeological Heritage in France

The archaeology of the Second World War has existed since the 1980s in English-language research. However, the vestiges of this conflict were only officially included in French national heritage at the end of 2013. Only since 2014, the year of the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, do preventive archaeology operations prescribe for World War II (WWII) sites. Public research programmes have also been set up to identify and characterise the heritage linked to the conflict, in particular the numerous remains of the Atlantic Wall on France's western seafront. During this decade, several archaeological operations have revealed the strong scientific potential attached to WWII sites throughout the country. At the same time, researchers from the National Institute of Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP) have drawn up a general research theme based on these remains which now form part of an international discussion framework. There are three main lines of research based on the typology of material traces from the conflict. The first of these is dedicated to battlefield remains, which are currently being used to compile an archaeology of military operations in Normandy. The second is the study of defensive structures (bunkers on the Atlantic Wall and passive defence constructions) that are also the subject of exciting discoveries in Normandy and other French regions. The third area of research addresses remains linked to internment and mass crimes. In particular, this concerns the search, currently underway, of the only Nazi concentration camp on French soil, the KL Natzweiler-Struthof. This houses the European Centre of Deported Resistance Members (CERD) and performs important research on other deportation or internment memorials (e.g. Drancy, Mont-Valérien) and on a series of prison camps across France. These sites, long threatened by soil and coastal erosion, development or the looting of militaria, are now crystallising as powerful heritage assets, even though the expression and sharing of this archaeological memory of World War II comes in response to high levels of national and international public expectation.

Reflections on the Past Decade in Evidence-Based Practice Within the Children's Oncology Group.

Background: The Children's Oncology Group (COG) is the only National Cancer Institute-supported clinical trials organization focused exclusively on childhood and adolescent cancer research. The COG Nursing Discipline Committee has embedded the tenets of evidence-based practice (EBP) into clinical trials nursing in order to standardize the nursing care delivered to children enrolled on these trials. The COG nursing EBP initiative is aimed at developing evidence-based clinical resources and tools to provide guidance to clinicians regarding topics relevant to the provision of cancer treatment for patients enrolled on COG clinical trials from diagnosis through survivorship. A rigorous, evidence-based process designed to guide development of the evidence-based clinical tools and resources within the COG nursing discipline was developed and was implemented with the first nurse expert team beginning in 2012. Method: The standardized process included (a) selecting EBP projects and nursing expert teams (NETs), (b) providing leadership, mentoring, and championship for NETs; (c) approving clinical content developed through the NETs; and (d) providing guidance and oversight over planned dissemination of the COG EBP projects. Results: The COG Nursing EBP Subcommittee has developed 15 publications to date that include 90 authors. Eleven of these authors contributed to multiple publications. Discussion: On this 10th anniversary of the development of the EBP within the COG nursing discipline, we recognize its contributions to the professional growth of many of the discipline's members and to advances in nursing care for children enrolled in pediatric cancer clinical trials.

China–Pakistan Economic Corridor

China and Pakistan celebrated the 10th anniversary of the launch of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in 2023. Over the past decade, the CPEC has been developed amid controversies and challenges, and has achieved notable successes, especially in large-scale infrastructure construction, which has laid the foundation for Pakistan’s economic development in the long term. However, the ever-changing domestic and international environment has not alleviated the challenges and risks facing the future development of the CPEC. Domestic instability in Pakistan, as well as intensifying strategic competition between the United States and China, could affect the future of the CPEC.
