Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This essay explores, from transnational perspectives, the early history of modern cremation, which developed in the long nineteenth century with secularist connotations. I argue that the beginnings of modern cremation were shaped by bourgeois men who claimed certain identifiers for themselves in a gendering and Othering way.

Determinants of case outcomes in Rwanda's postgenocide gacaca courts
Criminology, EarlyView.Abstract Transitional justice trials have become a central mechanism for addressing mass violence and human rights violations, yet little is known about the determinants of case outcomes within these courts—particularly in domestic contexts. This study examines Rwanda's gacaca courts, a localized transitional justice system that tried people suspected ...

Universities as the Next Counterintelligence Battleground in Geopolitical Contests
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally, universities are increasingly becoming the target of foreign national security actors, engaging in espionage, sabotage, foreign interference and intellectual property theft. Despite that, there has been no examination of the utilisation of counterintelligence approaches by universities to the threats they face from the subordination ...

Schmidt Hammer exposure dating (SHED): Calibration boulder of Tomkins et al. (2016)
, 2016 For the Quaternary community to test and utilize the SHED curves presented in Tomkins et al. (2016) and to develop their own calibration curves, SHED R Values need be standardized. When applying SHED to undated surfaces, Schmidt hammer calibration should

Thinking through payment in fieldwork
American Ethnologist, EarlyView.Abstract Ethnographic research has long illuminated diverse economic relations. Yet ethnographers have said little about an economic relation that they themselves often rely on: payment in fieldwork. Indeed, the particularities of monetary exchange between ethnographers and their interlocutors often remain hidden—or taboo.
