Researching contradictions: Cultural Historical Activity Theory Research (CHAT) in the English classroom

open access: yes, 2016
This article argues that Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) is an appropriate theoretical and methodological framework for researchers in English interested in the social contexts of culture and its relationship with the formation of mind and activity in the English classroom. Two key concepts in Vygotsky’s thought central to understanding CHAT

Brokers, Collaborators and Knowledge Translators: Expanding the Role of Research Assistants in Geographic Research

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While ‘local’ research assistants (RA) often play a key role in knowledge production in fieldwork‐based disciplines like geography, their role and agency often remain silenced. This paper brings together scholarship in feminist geography and critical development studies to reposition RAs as brokers, collaborators, and knowledge translators.

What can lithics tell us about hominin technology's ‘primordial soup’? An origin of stone knapping via the emulation of Mother Nature

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)

Researcher Positionality and Relational Power: Playing With ‘Researching Up’ and ‘Researching Down’ in Critical Reflexivity

“Yet the Problem Remains”: Why Genetic Determinism Still Haunts Biomedical Research

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After the horrors of the Holocaust and its connections to eugenics were revealed to the world, many post‐war population geneticists sought to establish rhetorical distance from the Nazi's state‐led campaigns, without abandoning their belief that actively shaping the population's genetics would produce a prosperous society.

P4s Are Either Unhelpful or Unnecessary. Proposing a Better AI‐Powered Solution to Predict Patients' Preferences

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Personalized Patient Preference Predictor (P4) has been proposed as an AI tool to aid surrogate decision‐making when incapacitated patients lack advance directives. Unlike population‐level Patient Preference Predictors (PPPs), which infer preferences from demographic correlations, P4s fine‐tune large language models (LLMs) on a patient's ...

When machines join the moral circle: The persona effect of generative AI agents in collaborative reasoning

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Generative AI is increasingly positioned as a peer in collaborative learning, yet its effects on ethical deliberation remain unclear. We report a between‐subjects experiment with university students (N = 217) who discussed an autonomous‐vehicle dilemma in triads under three conditions: human‐only control, supportive AI teammate or contrarian ...
