American Ethnologist, EarlyView.Abstract For women ethnographers, research involving predominantly male far‐right activists can involve many challenges—ethical, methodological, and emotional. Drawing on interviews and long‐term participant observation, I reflect on my fieldwork with Polish far‐right activists in the UK.

Co‐operatives and public policy: A scoping review
Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We sketch a first‐ever map of the scholarly literature on co‐operatives and public policy from a selection of English‐language studies published since 2000 using a scoping review methodology. We find that while co‐operatives are often framed as solutions to societal problems, few scholars draw on formal public policy theories.

Side‐selling in coffee cooperatives: Insights from cooperative and non‐cooperative farmers in Mexico
Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates side‐selling in Mexican coffee cooperatives, seeking to answer what drives side‐selling, what drives the expected share side‐sold and what non‐cooperative farmers perceive about side‐selling. Our conceptual framework, a contribution to this literature, proposes that farmers’ economic pressure, coffee quality and ...

Estimating the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policies on FDI Inflows Into Australia
Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To what extent FDI policy settings and changes influence FDI inflows is an empirical question for which global answers are scarce. Australia is a pertinent locale to test this question, having a long history of attracting FDI and a policy approach distinct from most developed countries.

The Institutional Work of Ethics: How Business Ethics Consultants Build Ethical Infrastructure
Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As organisations increasingly turn to external experts for moral guidance, critics warn that this trend risks “outsourcing” business ethics. Evaluating this concern, however, requires a clearer understanding of what those experts actually do. Drawing on 17 semi‐structured interviews with business ethics consultants, this study investigates how

Style Brush: Guided Style Transfer for 3D Objects
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We introduce Style Brush, a guided 3D style‐transfer method for textured meshes that provides precise creative control. It supports the use of multiple style images, smooth transitions and intuitive guidance, producing visually appealing textures that follow user intent as we demonstrate in our user study and results. Abstract We introduce Style Brush,

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

3D Character Reconstruction from Hand‐drawn Model Sheets
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Hand‐drawn model sheets are widely used in character design to define 3D shape and appearance through sparse multi‐view drawings. Reconstructing 3D characters from such sparse inputs has traditionally been challenging due to insufficient visual information.

Robo‐Saber: Generating and Simulating Virtual Reality Players
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present the first motion generation system for playtesting virtual reality (VR) games. Our player model generates VR headset and handheld controller movements from in‐game object arrangements, guided by style reference gameplay examples. We train on the large BOXRR‐23 dataset and apply our framework on the popular VR game Beat Saber.

Graph‐based Black and White Stylization
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Stippling is an art style forming images from large numbers of small dots. Computer graphics practitioners have proposed numerous algorithms for stippling and stippling variants over the years. In this paper, we propose a black and white image stylization technique in which the image is formed from heterogeneous black and white vector marks ...
