Reiling, Laura M. / Barth, Niklas / Hottner, Wolfgang 127–146 Scientific Board https://www.transcript-verlag.de/detail/index/sArticle/8102 Friedrich Balke book The archaeology of war has often focused on combatants and weaponry, prioritising the conflicts themselves over their aftermath. Yet in today’s world, with ongoing and emerging wars, archaeology must also address the precarity and long-term consequences of armed conflict for all parties involved. This edited volume examines how the short- and long-term impacts of warfare appear in the archaeological record from prehistory to the medieval period. For the defeated, consequences may include poor diet, ill-health, physical trauma, and higher mortality – visible in bioarchaeological evidence. Victorious communities may benefit from plundered resources, leading to wealth and improved living conditions. Conflicts can also trigger migrations, whether through forced displacement or deportation, well-documented in historical texts but harder to trace in periods without written records. Finally, warfare can leave settlements and landscapes destroyed, rendering them less hospitable. Understanding the trauma of war requires examining its corporeal and material dimensions. This volume explores who gains and who suffers in the wake of conflict, through case studies from prehistoric Iberia, ancient Egypt and Nubia, Roman Britain and Pannonia, the Middle Danube “Barbaricum”, the Late Antique Balkans and eastern Mediterranean, Viking Scandinavia, and medieval Anatolia. 2026 1 9798888572467 Oxbow Books

These markers, which are grouped into assessment, emphasis, evidential, hearsay and manner-of-speaking markers, are explored from a variational pragmatic approach. The results show that Ghanaian English users employ an overall higher frequency of commentary pragmatic markers than Ugandan English users. Ghanaian English users utilise more commentary pragmatic markers in private and public dialogues and printed writing than Ugandan English users, while the latter employ more commentary pragmatic markers in monologues than their Ghanaian English counterparts. The study confirms the influence of local African languages and cultures on the use of some English commentary pragmatic markers, thus contributing to the research on nativisation and pragmatic variation in these varieties. 2026 Apr. 14 10.1017/S0266078426101175 English Today Cambridge University Press

Digitalisation requires health and medical practices to address and utilise the interrelated challenges posed by increased quantification (e.g., data-intensive medicine), ubiquitous connectivity (e.g., remote access to care providers), and the unprecedented power of algorithms (e.g., communicative AI). Developing important social scientific analyses of the contemporary sociotechnical configuration of health knowledge, therapeutic relationships and medical decision-making, the handbook puts forward theories and methods to inform the development, implementation and governance of Digital Health. It will therefore be an invaluable resource for shaping desirable futures in health and care. 2026 1 10.1515/9783111247854 De Gruyter

Marent, Benjamin Senior Fellows https://doi.org/10.1515/9783111247854 Benjamin Marent article Many socio-economic systems require positive economic growth rates to function properly. These growth dependencies pose serious challenges given uncertainty about future growth rates and the role of economic growth as a driver of environmental crises. Thus, identifying and transforming socio-economic systems that currently rely on growth for their adequate functioning is a crucial step towards effective sustainability transformations. To facilitate conceptual clarity, we propose a general definition and framework for operationalizing the concept of “growth dependence” through four elements: (1) the system under investigation, (2) the unit of growth measurement, (3) the meaning of “growth”, and (4) the functions or properties of the system relevant for human well-being. We illustrate the impact of varieties in definitions on assessment outcomes by applying the framework to areas widely seen as growth-dependent: labor markets, social insurance and public finance. Our framework helps researchers to develop a more coherent understanding of growth dependence, a prerequisite for assessing policy options towards growth independence. 2026 1 10.1007/s11625-026-01808-w Sustanability Science 21 1311–1327 RG Kranke https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-026-01808-w Anja Janischewski Katharina Bohnenberger Matthias Kranke Tobias Vogel Riwan Driouich Tobias Froese Stefanie Gerold Raphael Kaufmann Lorenz Keyßer Jannis Niethammer Christopher Olk Matthias Schmelzer Aslı Yürük Steffen Lange inbook Digital transformation is widely promoted as a solution to healthcare chal-lenges such as ageing populations, chronic diseases and pandemics. This has led to rapid advances in the field of digital health, driven primarily by the computer and health sciences, which are developing devices and interventions. However, digital transformation in healthcare is not always easy to implement. Repeated calls for digi-tal transformation and their technology-centric solutions fail to adequately address issues of implementation, adoption and unintended consequences. What is over-looked is the factor that moderates digital transformation, namely the society in which it takes place. It is important to recognise that society and social practices are not simply passive objects that can be transformed in a linear way. Instead, they are reflexive and responsive to experimentation and intervention. Designing and manag-ing digital transformation in healthcare therefore requires an understanding of soci-ety. The Handbook of Digital Health and Societybrings together leading social science perspectives – from sociology, media studies, STS, psychology, philosophy, political science and more – to explore the complex relationship between technology and soci-ety, and to shed light on the conditions under which digital transformation can be successful, ethical and deliver social value. The Handbook thus complements the dom-inant disciplines in the field of digital health and provides essential guidance for envi-sioning and developing appropriate and desirable solutions to current healthcare challenges. 2026 10.1515/9783111247854-001 De Gruyter Handbook of Digital Health and Society De Gruyter

Anja Klein follows that patchwork in action through fieldwork with two interdisciplinary research groups: a project in Accra tracking diarrhea and flood risk under climate change, and a Stockholm-based group building simulation models of social-ecological systems. How do materiality, difference, and complexity get handled in the daily work of modeling? What gets to be included and what is left out and why? Moving between ethnography and equations, the study traces moments of frictions and surprise that shape what a model can or cannot say about the world. In a grounded account of ›earthly modeling‹, the volume shows the potential of working across ethnography and simulation for knowing better our planet in crisis. 2026 978-3-8376-8376-9 transcript

Apelt, Maja et al. 719–734 Scientific Board https://link.springer.com/rwe/10.1007/978-3-658-15920-7_41 Maximiliane Wilkesmann article This article examines the evolving climate policy stance of the International Monetary Fund (hereafter the IMF or the Fund), highlighting an evolution towards greater acceptance of climate policy, as well as tensions between its expanded green rhetoric and the practical constraints of its fiscal mandate. Using document analysis and, for contextualisation, a handful of semi-structured interviews with IMF officials, we argue that, in the post-pandemic period, the Fund has expanded the ambitious climate rhetoric it had adopted shortly before the pandemic. However, we also provide evidence from different types of IMF loan arrangements to show that the translation of these commitments into substantive policy advice into lending operations has remained uneven at best. The IMF’s increasing emphasis on the macro-criticality of climate change has been implemented more systematically under the new, climate-sensitive Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) than under standard loan facilities. While the IMF’s capacity to marry fiscal stability with climate action in operations varies with the type of loan instrument deployed, our analysis suggests that the Fund has layered climate concerns onto an otherwise largely unchanged neoliberal toolbox. As a result, its ‘climate turn’ has been no more than a half-turn, grounded in an embrace of green neoliberalism. 2026 10.1080/01436597.2026.2683210 Third World Quarterly Routledge 1–18 RG Kranke https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01436597.2026.2683210#abstract https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/01436597.2026.2683210?needAccess=true Ban Cornel Matthias Kranke article The transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in universities is simply extending beyond instructional applications to include administrative and strategic domains in university management. This study aims to explore how AI could be integrated into university practices by addressing three core questions: to what AI technologies are being employed, which integration stages support their implementation, and what kind of ethical risks need to be considered for AI usage in universities. To respond to these questions, the researchers a meta-synthesis approach to qualitatively analyse selected studies. Based on a systematic search protocol, they selected 49 empirical cases from different parts of the world; then, analysed them using thematic analysis through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings were categorised into a three-layered framework capturing various purposes of AI usage, technical and institutional integration steps, and the components of ethical AI regulations in universities. The analysis shows that higher education authorities, university leaders, and techno-experts initially decide the purpose(s) of AI usage, regarding teaching, research, engagement, and administration. Then, as a structured roadmap, they can follow eight steps identified for the technical and institutional AI integration: 1. AI System Design, 2. AI Algorithm Development, 3. Data Management-Preprocessing, 4. AI System Integration, 5. Strategic Management Policies, 6. Operational Management Roles, 7. Curriculum-Pedagogical Design, and 8. Evaluation-Performance Monitoring. Lastly, ethical regulations could be organised combining sub-themes of Data Ethics, Algorithmic Ethics, Human-AI Interaction and Social Impact, Academic Integrity and Responsible Use, and Institutional and Managerial Ethics. 2026 Oct. 05 10.1007/s44217-026-02169-3 Discover Education 5, article 1109 Springer Nature 1–27 Senior Fellows https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s44217-026-02169-3 Barış Uslu Liudvika Leišytė article In this article, I aver that Nada can offer us a privileged insight into a wide range of mental health conditions in the postwar period which afflicted both female and male characters. This biomedical motif problematizes prescribed gender roles of post-war Spain, as Carmen Laforet brings male and female mental illnesses into dialogue with gender and contemporaneous medical discourses. Nada is thus reinterpreted as a sensitive interpretation of both female and male mental health from the 1920s to the postwar period. which defies the social silence surrounding mental illnesses to induce readerly compassion for the afflicted characters. 2026 Jul. 27 https://doi.org/10.1080/14753820.2026.2674411 Bulletin of Spanish Studies Routledge 1–26 Senior Fellows https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14753820.2026.2674411 Lorraine Ryan article In Zambia, religious nationalists exploit legal and policy ambiguities to construct abortion and LGBTI+ rights as un-Zambian and un-Christian. This delegitimization narrows the scope of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) to family planning. Drawing on forty-five in-depth interviews with Zambian stakeholders and international aid officials, we argue that while these ambiguities constrain reproductive justice, they also allow activists to advance SRHR by building coalitions that connect advocacy for abortion rights, LGBTI+ rights, and reproductive justice to promote health service access and bodily autonomy for all. In Zambia and elsewhere, such activism and coalition building merit greater attention and support. 2026 Apr. 6 https://doi.org/10.1017/asr.2026.10213 African Studies Review 69 Cambridge University Press

While much of the literature on democratic erosion has emphasised concepts like populism, institutional decline, or leadership dynamics, the sociological processes that render subjects receptive to neofascist identification remain insufficiently theorised. The article argues that these processes are linked to a broader erosion of normative universality that historically structured modern democratic coexistence. Through a conceptual reconstruction grounded in social theory, it identifies a series of mechanisms through which the weakening of shared normative frameworks enables the consolidation of exclusionary political identities. By shifting the focus from institutional transformations to processes of subjectivation, the article seeks to contribute to a sociological understanding of the conditions under which neofascist mobilisation becomes politically viable in the 21st century. 2026 Jul. 6 https://doi.org/10.1177/13684310261467815 European Journal of Social Theory Sage Journals 1–17 Senior Fellows https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13684310261467815 Daniel Feierstein article The Nordic Council of Ministers officially strives for a “green”, “competitive” and “socially sustainable” region under what it calls “Our Vision 2030”. To render the aggregate performance of its member states measurable, the Council deploys a total of forty-five indicators for “traffic-light visualizations” of achievements and trends benchmarked against other countries. Connecting scholarship on global benchmarking and place branding, this article examines the production of an idealized world-class region through self-benchmarking, which contrasts with the more common phenomenon of individual states’ performance being assessed by others. I interrogate the assumptions behind the Council’s aspirations by analyzing selected official documents. In line with the special issue theme, the study shows how self-benchmarking transcends the roles of the governors/benchmarkers and governed/benchmarked. Specifically, “Our Vision 2030” subscribes to a mainstream inclusive green growth position, which does little to distinguish the Nordic “brand” from those of other regions but instead rehearses a well-known narrative with a regional twist. The Council’s self-benchmarking apparatus thus risks ignoring evidence of negative ecological impacts and inequitable social outcomes of growth-friendly policies, as well as of the insufficient scope and pace of absolute decoupling of growth from ecological parameters to date. 2026 Oct. 6 https://doi.org/10.1080/01442872.2026.2625832 Policy Studies Routledge 1–21 RG Kranke https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01442872.2026.2625832 Matthias Kranke inbook 2026 9781041020813 Performing Waste.

This pioneering collection examines how waste and wasting are performed across diverse media and genres, from Afrofuturist musical works to contemporary scrap art installations. Distinguished international scholars present original research using situated methodologies, including ethnographic approaches, to analyse compelling case studies that span global contexts. The volume explores eco-trauma and toxic kinship in artistic works, investigates the relationship between extractivism and knowledge production, and examines critical sites like the Polish-Belorussian border and e-waste processing in Ghana and Peru. By reframing familiar environmental narratives and introducing novel perspectives on waste agency, materiality, and performance, the collection challenges conventional understandings of our discarded materials and practices. Each contribution illuminates how waste performance can help us reimagine ecological relationships and envision alternative futures beyond extractivist paradigms. This volume is an essential reading for students and scholars in environmental humanities, posthumanist theory, decolonial studies, eco-arts, media studies, and performance studies, as well as anyone concerned with creative responses to our global waste crisis. 2026 1 9781041020813 Routledge

Senior Fellows https://zenodo.org/records/22927311 Daniel Chigudu Martina Brandt article In this debate piece, we examine representations of postmenopausal motherhood in print media and online content of private clinics in India to show how the visual vocabulary of assisted reproductive technology (ART) reifies patriarchal logics of motherhood through a dance of science and spectacle. In particular, we draw on Franklin’s (2013a) notion of ‘embryo watching’ and Thompson’s (2005) ‘ontological choreography’ to argue how biomedical imaging technologies curate embodied encounters of ART and local-moral worlds where gerontological reproductive futures can be imaged and imagined. Crucially, we illuminate the ambivalent biopolitics of this (media) framing, where older women’s bodies are simultaneously expressed through the promissory language of fertility and an erasure of sexuality. Ultimately, keeping in mind the current decade (2021–2030) as one focused on determinants of healthy ageing, this article sheds light on the policy blind spot of a persistent neglect of the sexual and reproductive health of older women in India. 2026 Journal of Global Ageing 3(2) 303–315 Senior Fellows https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/joga/aop/article-10.1332-29767202Y2026D000000051/article-10.1332-29767202Y2026D000000051.xml Tannistha Samanta inbook 2026 Rassismusforschung: Handbuch für Wissenschaft, Studium und Praxis Nomos

The ‘tax taboo’ is driven by electoral calculations. Public opinion on taxing the rich is ambivalent. Narratives of taxes harming the economy are nurtured by right-wing parties and business lobbies. This discourages the left from mobilizing on the issue. However, recent campaigns by the German Social Democrats (2021) and Labour in Britain (2017) overcame this taboo with distinct pro-tax programs. Our comparative analysis traces common factors and strategic considerations of party actors. It highlights the role of policy entrepreneurs, who act as catalysts through their exceptional motivation and competence. Additionally, our case studies point to party competition as an important factor. Right-wing parties face a trilemma between the goals of balanced budgets, low taxes, and investment, making them less compelling critics of left-wing tax plans. 2026 1 10.1093/ser/mwaf081 Socio-Economic Review 24(2) 1037–1064 RG Fastenrath https://doi.org/10.1093/ser/mwaf081 Florian Fastenrath Paul Marx article Research has revealed the increasing importance of social innovation ecosystems in catalysing initiatives that mitigate society’s grand challenges. However, there are still knowledge gaps in the realm of creating, nurturing, and governing digital versions of such ecosystems, which we term social innovation digital ecosystems (SIDEs). This study delves into the orchestration tasks SIDEs’ orchestrators may have to perform during emergence and development. To achieve this objective, we conducted an exploratory case study of an emerging SIDE in Brazil. The study contributes to the nascent literature on SIDEs by showing that their orchestration differs from that of conventional digital innovation ecosystems. Our findings suggest that emerging SIDEs rely on hybrid orchestration, in which digital infrastructures support mapping, visibility, and connection-building. At the same time, engagement, sense-making, and the design of collaborative initiatives remain strongly dependent on offline, locally embedded interaction. 2026 10.1142/S1363919626500386 International Journal of Innovation Management 30(05n06) World Scientific

While there is debate about the actual share of fabricated content in online communication environments, such forms of information manipulation appear in many shapes and with varying degrees of deviation from facts. What unifies them is their use of narratives to distort public debate, sow division, and seed doubt in institutions. However, with increasing scholarly attention, the literature on information manipulation is becoming increasingly fragmented, calling for stronger integration. Particularly, different strands of research use either framing or narrative perspectives in their analyses. After reviewing essential forms of information manipulation and systematizing them on different levels of analysis, the paper addresses this fragmentation by proposing and testing a multilevel framework that integrates both framing and narrative perspectives on information manipulation. The framework was tested in an exploratory case study in the context of the 2024 European Parliament elections. Based on the results, the benefits and limitations of the framework are discussed. The overall aim of this paper is to add to the systematic use of terminology in the analysis of information manipulation phenomena. 2026 10.1057/s41599-026-06656-8 Humanities and Social Sciences Communications 13 1–12 PostdocLab https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-026-06656-8 Timo Lenk article This article advances ‘trialectics’ as a nondualist methodology for Global International Relations (IR), addressing the persistent dualisms that continue to shape both conventional and critical approaches to world politics. While acknowledging Hegelian dialectics’ movement towards subject–object unity, this article argues that its methodological trajectory remains structured through binary relations of identity and non-identity. By contrast, trialectics foregrounds a third, mediating dimension – single hidden oneness – that underpins and transcends apparent contradictions and complementarities. Drawing on Daoist and Advaita philosophical traditions, trialectics conceptualizes reality as simultaneously one and many, allowing for experiential moments of subject–object collapse that move beyond binary thinking without erasing plurality. As a nondualist methodology, it reorients Global IR towards the study of global relationality, challenging geocentric divisions such as West/non-West while recognizing the entangled character of self, other and nature. This article further demonstrates the practical significance of trialectics through environmental governance, showing how a nondualist orientation reframes apparently competing priorities as expressions of a deeper relational unity rather than as binary trade-offs. By integrating methodological innovation with practical application, trialectics contributes to the development of a post-binary Global IR capable of investigating global politics beyond entrenched spatial, epistemic and civilizational divides. 2026 10.1177/14789299261482032 Political Studies Review Sage Journals 1–9 Senior Fellows https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14789299261482032 Deepshikha Shahi inbook 2026 10.1007/978-3-032-29770-9_49 Artificial Intelligence in Education.

Der Beitrag zeigt, dass Reinigung und Zirkulation des Begriffs keine Gegensätze sind, sondern sich gegenseitig bedingen: Während begriffliche Reini- gung der Abgrenzung dient, ermöglicht sie zugleich die bessere Zirkulation und Anwendbarkeit des Milieubegriffs. Durch die Analyse der verschiedenen Wander- modi wird deutlich, dass der Begriff des Milieus zugleich in Denkmilieus eingebettet ist, die seine Wanderbewegungen und Versuche seines Stillstellens regulieren – nicht immer erfolgreich. 2026 1 10.5771/9783748963417-125 Soziale Welt Sonderband 27 125–149 RG Beregow https://doi.org/10.5771/9783748963417-125 Elena Beregow article There is now wide agreement that the Earth has entered a new geological epoch as a result of human activities, which is often encapsulated in the concept of the “Anthropocene.” Meanwhile, there remains considerable debate about the impact of economic growth on planetary ecosystems. In this article, we bring these two aspects together by exploring patterns and biases of knowledge production on the Anthropocene in International Relations (IR) as a discipline with a mandate to study “the global.” We grasp general publishing patterns through a bibliometric analysis of journal articles in IR during the 2000–25 period, which reveals that the increasing focus on the Anthropocene still leaves (post-)growth questions largely sidelined. A closer reading of the ten most-cited articles in the sample further indicates that growth is at best an afterthought in much IR scholarship on the Anthropocene. Only when considering additional contributions, including from the cognate field of International Political Economy (IPE), with an explicit interest in (post-)growth, do links between the Anthropocene and the pursuit of growth emerge. The ideational and material dynamics involved in this pursuit thus remain strangely absent from mainstream IR debate about the causes and consequences of the Anthropocene. 2026 Aug. 7 https://doi.org/10.1515/ngs-2025-0028 New Global Studies 20(2-3) De Gruyter 367–387 RG Kranke https://www.degruyterbrill.com/de/document/doi/10.1515/ngs-2025-0028/html Matthias Kranke Dahlia Simangan article 2026 10.1002/pan3.70279 People and Nature 8 (5) 1007–1020 RP Nadim https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pan3.70279 Carol X.

Using Joe Ushie’s poetry collection, A Reign of Locusts, for a discourse situated within the African material ecocritical problematic, the study submits that some African poets valorize their birthplaces’ natures not only in recognition of the agency of their places, but also in deployment of traditionalism against the failures of modernity. That is, such African poets often shift from the romanticization of their indigenous ecologies to activism against the force that modernity exerts on the environment. While recognizing the enduring force of modernity, the poets, through their poetics of nature, suggest that the promotion of traditional ways of relating to the earth is one of the ways in which humans can ensure a sustainable environment. 2025 1 10.22459/HER.28.01.2024.05 Human Ecology Review 1 28 ANU Press

We argue that the quest for continuous economic growth is not merely a matter of policy or institutional design, but instead more deeply embedded in intersections of ‘hard’ physical objects and ‘softer’ social relations. Mobilizing scholarship from across the social sciences, we bridge the study of infrastructures with the study of (post-)growth, two research agendas whose disconnect has inhibited deeper insights into the infrastructural relations underpinning (post-)growth regimes. Deliberate foregrounding of the relational underpinnings of growth is necessary, we contend, to better account for how infrastructures and the politics of (post-)growth are socio-materially entangled. 2025 1 10.1080/03085147.2025.2590941 Economy and Society 4 54 597–619 RG Kranke https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03085147.2025.2590940 Malcolm Campbell-Verduyn Matthias Kranke book Journal Special Issue 2025 1 Taylor & Francis

The result is a peculiar composite that first articulates the general or common principles of animals—e.g., the manner of their reproduction, their nutrition, growth, shared behaviors, etc.—but then provides brief, narrative descriptions of different animal species which are sourced primarily from Thomas of Cantimpré’s encyclopedia (ca. 1256). In the following pages I examine Albert’s use in his De animalibus of Thomas of Cantimpre’s narrative descriptions in De natura rerum. I will show that although Albert often criticized Thomas’s text, he utilized it nonetheless to satisfy the requirements for a natural science and to make that science accessible to a wider audience. 2025 1 10.3390/rel16111338 Religions 11 16 Senior Fellows https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/16/11/1338 Irven Resnick article The shift to hybrid work has introduced new organizational challenges for higher education institutions (HEIs), especially when balancing academic freedom, managerial oversight, digital infrastructure, and global mobility. This study explores how three German universities are developing hybrid work policies in the context of institutional complexity. Using the Field-Level Deduction framework and the institutional logics perspective, we examine how these universities balance professional, managerial, market, and digital logics in their formal policies on mobile work and workation. Drawing on a comparative case study of mobile work agreements and expert interviews with the involved key actors, we identify three emerging modes of creative assembly: (1) flexibility oriented toward academic freedom, (2) structured balance through procedural clarity, and (3) standardization with strong risk aversion. Although these universities operate under the same legal framework, their hybrid work models vary considerably, suggesting different ways in which institutional logics can be selectively coupled. The study provides exploratory insights into the diversity of hybrid work in German HEIs and introduces creative assembly as a conceptual lens for understanding how universities navigate institutional complexity. The findings are not statistically representative but serve the purpose of analytic generalization, offering conceptual insights. These insights lay the theoretical groundwork for future empirical research examining the effects of different assemblies on outcomes such as academic productivity, collegiality, student engagement, and international competitiveness. 2025 1 10.1007/s10734-025-01567-0 Higher Education 92 Springer Nature 1179–1202 Scientific Board https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10734-025-01567-0 Maximiliane Wilkesmann Katharina Hast Mona Bassyiouny Judith Becker article Despite widespread concern about levels of administrative burden within universities, understanding of the associated dimensions and drivers remains limited. Addressing the resulting lacuna, this paper presents a granular analysis of what academic staff within one national university system regard as the key dimensions and specific drivers of the administrative burdens they encounter at work. The data underlying our analyses are drawn from responses to an in-depth survey on administrative workloads from 350 academic staff working at 37 Australian universities. Our findings reveal that while generic administrative responsibilities add administrative burden, such burden is perhaps most acutely felt in the core academic work domains of teaching and research. In terms of perceptions of drivers, we find that two major strategies that universities have pursued to gain efficiencies—administrative centralization and administrative service automation—have resulted in what is widely experienced by academic staff as an intensification of their administrative burden. 2025 Aug. 5 1 10.1093/scipol/scaf029 Science and Public Policy scaf029 Oxford University Press

Analysing the data from a postcolonial pragmatics approach, the article identifies nativised forms of apologising due to influence from indigenous Nigerian languages and reveals that the linguistic forms of apologies produced by Nigerian English speakers are systematically conditioned by the communicative situation. It suggests that it is the written mode of language production that allows speakers to choose speech acts without time pressure rather than the type of data as such, which influences the choice of linguistic forms of speech acts. Thus, the study contributes to the description of pragmatic variation in Nigerian English. 2025 1 English 10.1111/weng.12729 World Englishes Wiley

Since the 19th century, Egyptology has produced vast knowledge on the ancient Egyptian bodies (human, divine, animal), however, mainly by focusing on funerary aspects of ancient Egyptian culture. Different paradigm shifts and turns of the last few decades (hermeneutics, semiotics, social-constructivism, ontology etc.), echo through Egyptology, but are still not part of the dominant discourse. This is also the case for the so-called “body turn”, an important epistemological turning point, that came largely unnoticed in Egyptology. Previous body centred Egyptological publications are either too specific in their focus or too broad in their presentation of Ancient Egyptian corporealities. To balance this out and reflect the latest state of research, this volume brings together selected contributions from the fields of Egyptology and Northeast African Archaeology. The focus is on both conceptualizations of the bodies by ancient Egyptians and Egyptologists. The topics of the contributions cover familiar but also new aspects. They range from division of labour, disability, gender roles, erotic, magic, fragmented and narrated bodies, other-than-human corporealities, to questions of ethics and the place of Egyptology in current approaches to past bodies. Various textual, pictorial, and archaeological sources, as well as human remains, are analyzed both from synchronic and diachronic perspectives. From the theoretical and methodological point of view, the publication provides deeper insights into a number of different approaches and their application to the ancient material (among others: osteoarchaeology, socio-cultural anthropology, semiotics, new materialism, ontology, etc.), which makes the book an important reading for all career stage Egyptologists (students to professionals) and the broader interested public. 2025 1 9789464271300 10.59641/l2o8i9j0k1 Sidestone Press

Serova, Dina / Matić, Uroš Senior Fellows https://www.sidestone.com/books/bodies-that-mattered Uroš Matić Dina Serova article How do transnational actors handle institutional configurations in which they need or are expected to work together, even though cooperation is likely to diminish their distinctiveness? For officials of international organizations (IOs) whose mandates and memberships overlap, this tension can induce lasting identity stress. In this article, I argue that one way for IO officials to cope with this stress is by mobilizing ‘atrocity stories’ as boundary work devices. To exemplify the dynamics surrounding this widely overlooked inter-organizational practice, I examine a prominent case of ‘twin’ organizations: the relationship between the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. I draw on more than 40 semi-structured interviews to demonstrate that both IMF and World Bank officials field seemingly trivial atrocity stories to shore up their organizational identities while acknowledging obvious ideational and operational similarities between the IOs. Thus, they not only determine what are shared tasks and what are not, but also delineate who they are as representatives of two routinely and closely interacting IOs. The analysis clarifies how a reliance on atrocity stories can help actors to tame the identity stress that stems from their interactions. 2025 1 10.1093/ia/iiaf007 International Affairs 3 101 Oxford University Press

In this special section, we argue that global politics unfolds through boundary work, an understudied but highly effective set of ordering practices that shape the conditions for and dynamics of global (non-)cooperation. We leverage recent innovations in the study of boundary work in other fields to transcend the conventional portrayal of boundaries as instruments of exclusion and competition. Instead, we equally attend to their potential to facilitate inclusion and cooperation between otherwise differently positioned actors. Building on this conceptual foundation, the contributions to this collection offer novel, empirically grounded insights into diverse types of boundary work (competitive, collaborative and configurational) across several important transnational domains and institutional sites. These insights will be of particular relevance to practitioners of global politics, who regularly confront boundaries. Overall, we encourage scholars of International Relations to pay more attention to the constitutive effects and dynamics of boundary work in global politics. 2025 1 10.1093/ia/iiaf061 International Affairs 3 101 Oxford University Press

If this is the only model of learning we have, then only concepts that are complex or structured can be learned. I argue for an alternative to this framework by presenting a proposal for how we learn some atomic concepts. I show that we can learn a concept through descriptions without thinking that the concepts employed in the descriptions constitute the target concept. I develop this idea by using the notion of a mental file and by employing a general externalist explanatory strategy. In the view I develop, some concepts are akin to files in that the descriptions associated with a given concept are means of properly individuating the extension of the concept, and they are also means of connecting a concept to others, but they do not constitute the concept and can be revised or abandoned. I show how this discussion connects to issues in conceptual engineering. 2025 1 10.1007/s13164-025-00786-9 Review of Philosophy and Psychology Springer Senior Fellows https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13164-025-00786-9 Nico Orlandi article Digital sovereignty has become a pivotal concern for Africa striving to reduce their reliance on foreign powers for data storage and processing. Central to these efforts is the development of digital infrastructure, including data centres, often established with the support of Chinese telecommunications companies (CTCs). In the context of the ongoing technological rivalry between the U.S. and China, this study contends that CTCs are playing a prominent role in shaping Africa’s digital future. Their involvement in infrastructure projects significantly influences the contours of digital sovereignty across the continent. Yet, amid growing Western concerns over potential cyber espionage and the export of digital authoritarianism through Chinese technology, this paper emphasises that Africa’s digital sovereignty and developmental priorities must remain paramount, regardless of which foreign partners are involved in the continent’s digital transformation. 2025 10.1365/s43439-025-00165-1 International Cybersecurity Law Review Senior Fellows https://link.springer.com/article/10.1365/s43439-025-00165-1?utm_source=rct_congratemailt&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=oa_20251204&utm_content=10.1365/s43439-025-00165-1 Qingxiu Bu article In today's world, democracy is recognized as both a theoretical idea and a form of government that holds a unique position, largely unaffected by intense academic or worldly controversies. Presently, no scholar can dismiss or oppose democracy and expect to be taken seriously. However, in the Polis of Athens, the birthplace of democracy, the prominent philosophers were critical and often disparaging of this system of governance. This article seeks to demystify prevailing discourses surrounding Western democracy by illustrating how they frequently depend on hierarchizing citizens, peoples, and countries, as well as compartmentalizing human experiences. Moreover, it endeavors to demonstrate that the discourses of democracy and liberalism have often been used by Western powers to interfere in the global south and exploit its peoples. The article also offers a non-evaluative approach to studying democracy, taking into consideration non-Western experiences to preserve the concept’s utopian appeal. 2025 1 10.1080/02589346.2025.2487323 Politikon: South African Journal of Political Studies Taylor & Francis

In diesem Beitrag wird untersucht, inwiefern Ressourcen, Motivation und Gelegenheiten mit dem politischen Wissen von Schüler*innen der Sekundarstufe I zusammenhängen. Die Auswahl der untersuchten Bereiche und Konstrukte erfolgte dabei auf Basis des Civic Voluntarism Models. Für die Studie wurden die Daten von N = 1047 Schüler*innen der 7. und 10. Klassenstufe an Schulen in Nordrhein-Westfalen analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass in jedem der drei Bereiche einzelne Konstrukte mit dem politischen Wissen der Schüler*innen in beiden Klassenstufen assoziiert sind. Dabei wiesen besonders die Lesekompetenz, das kulturelle Kapital sowie das politische Interesse konsistente Zusammenhänge mit dem politischen Wissen auf. Die Ergebnisse unterstützen die Annahmen des Civic Voluntarism Models und dessen Anwendbarkeit auf das politische Wissen. Außerdem verdeutlichen die Ergebnisse die Bedeutung eines breit angelegten Ansatzes zur Förderung politischen Wissens in der Jugendphase. 2025 1 10.1007/s41358-025-00420-1 Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft 35 133–161 PostdocLab https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41358-025-00420-1 Pascal Alscher Ulrich Ludewig Nele McElvany inbook 2025 978-3-412-53110-2 Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets.

Wang, Lizhou / Altbach, Philip G. / de Witt, Hans Senior Fellows https://brill.com/display/title/71225?contents=editorial-content Patrício Langa article This article explores the aesthetics and ethics of the diva by offering a comparative analysis of Fassbinder’s penultimate film, Veronika Voss (1982), and the filmmaker’s self-presentation as a diva. Veronika Voss offers a unique mode of engagement with the past in the form of its central female figure, the outsized Nazi-era actress Voss. Voss is not only, like Fassbinder, a drug addict; she is also unlike the divas who came before her in Fassbinder’s films, for she is not rendered a fetish. Fassbinder’s film presents a cinescape of “diva time and space.” Diva time evokes a nonlinear, expansive temporality of queer longing that eschews restorative nostalgia, blending past and present in a manner that complicates Manichean notions of victimhood and capitalist exploitation. And diva space is likewise expansive, as the diva spreads out and multiplies, engulfing space in a manner that is both narcissistic and generous. 2025 1 10.1215/0094033X-11928265 New German Critique 3 52 163–187 Senior Fellows https://read.dukeupress.edu/new-german-critique/article/52/3%20(156)/163/404449/Diva-Time-Diva-Space-Fassbinder-and-Veronika-Voss Heidi Schlipphacke inbook 2025 04 03 978–3–98–172272–7 MachtKritikKollaboration: Praxisreflexionen zwischen Aktivismus, Museum und Universität Yilmaz-Günay

Situating the flow of ideas within broader patterns of economic globalization, the contributors to this edited volume explore historical, economic, and ideological developments in Turkey and Germany. Within economic thought, there is a particular focus on the influence of the German Historical School in Turkish economic thought; the contributions of German refugee scholars in the 1930s, through their publications, courses they offered, and their relations with the other members of academia; and Marxian Asiatic Mode of Production debates of the 1960s. In terms of economic policy, the book also discusses agrarian populism in the 1930s, German soft power in interwar Turkey, the first Gastarbeiter Agreement and its effects, German investments in Turkey after the World War II, and the role of sports in shaping relations between Germany and Turkey. The book will be of great interest to readers in the history of economic thought, intellectual history, economic history, and the histories of Germany and Turkey more broadly. 2025 1 9781041030454 Routledge

Other types of groups, however, are excluded from that sociopolitical ordering of society. In particular, LGBTQI+ Mauritians have long been stigmatized and criminalized by an anti-sodomy law, enacted by the British colonial administration. Despite a reputation for a strong commitment to human rights, the Mauritian government never repealed that law. Drawing in large part on interviews with LGBTQI+ activists in Mauritius, this article analyzes how and why they challenged that anti-sodomy law in court, what they achieved and what the implications are. It argues that the state’s and political parties’ emphasis on traditional cultures made it difficult to convince the government to act, leaving strategic litigation as the best option for getting LGBTQI+ rights recognized. Grounded primarily in constitutionally guaranteed rights and harnessing support from international nonstate actors, their court cases succeeded in carving out greater space for LGBTQI+ rights within the conservative multicultural framework, even though the verdict was rather limited in scope. Significant pressure will be needed to achieve more political and social change, potentially including more strategic litigation, which poses a significant challenge to LGBTQI+ activists. 2025 1 10.1080/21565503.2025.2543300 Politics, Groups, and Identities Milton Park

This two-wave panel study investigated the potentially reciprocal relationship between non-institutionalized political participation and internal and external political efficacy among adolescents. The study drew on a German sample of 444 students from Grade 7 and Grade 8 (wave 1: Mage = 12.94, SDage = 0.61; 46.9% female). It examined whether and how internal and external political efficacy are related to participation and whether participation, in turn, is related to political efficacy over time. Results revealed low stability for external political efficacy and non-institutionalized participation and moderate stability for internal political efficacy between Grade 7 and Grade 8. When students’ demographics were controlled for, internal political efficacy in Grade 7 was positively related to non-institutionalized participation in Grade 8, but no significant effects of participation on efficacy were observed. This study provides initial insights into the relationship between open democratic practices, like petitioning, protesting, and boycotting, and adolescents’ perceptions of political efficacy. Results suggested that the transformative potential of participatory activities may depend on specific conditions. The findings highlight the need for further research to explore these dynamics longitudinally and across different forms of participation. 2025 1 10.1007/s10964-025-02186-9 Journal of Youth and Adolescence 54 Springer Nature

Serova, Dina; Matić, Uroš 71–86 Senior Fellows https://www.sidestone.com/books/bodies-that-mattered Uroš Matić article In recent years, the issue of administrative burden in universities has received growing attention around the world. Although professional staff are central to the operation of universities, little effort has been made to understand how these staff see these administrative burdens impacting their work, and to harness their views on how to best tackle such burdens on the ground. Examining the Australian case, this focused paper presents key findings from a nationwide survey capturing the perspectives of universities’ professional staff on manifestations and implications of administrative burden within their workplace. In the majority, professional staff reported that administrative burden had been increasing for all university staff, ultimately making for a less collegial work environment. Our participants identified fewer organisational restructures, better staff involvement in digital design, and better formal recognition of administrative workloads as key to reducing administrative burdens within universities. 2025 1 10.1080/1360080X.2025.2478135 Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management Taylor & Francis

Das Wirtschaftsmagazin RG Fastenrath https://www.surplusmagazin.de/fossiles-rollback-ampel-lobbyismus-gaslobby-uniper/ Bjarne Behrens inbook Ancient Egyptian and Nubian sources on war from the third millennium BCE to the turn of the era typically portray foreign women as captives or, occasionally, victims of physical violence. The decorum seems to have changed during the New Kingdom when Egypt became an empire and controlled a vast territory from Nubia in the south to the Levant in the north. In this period, women are not visually depicted as victims of physical violence. However, captured men, women, and children were often assigned to temple workshops in both ancient Egypt and Nubia. Elite women in ancient Egypt were sometimes buried with weapons to symbolize their status. However, only royal or ruling women in Egypt were shown as actively engaging in violence. A ruling woman such as Hatshepsut was depicted as a pharaoh (man) smiting and trampling over male enemies. Queens (i.e., great royal wives) are depicted smiting and trampling over female enemies in those scenes in which their husbands, ruling kings, are doing the same to male enemies. These queens are mirroring martial goddesses who are attested as both fighting for god Re and assisting the king on the battlefield. More than a millennium later, some Meroitic female rulers are depicted smiting male enemies just as their husbands do. This iconography suggests that they truly shared power with their husbands. 2025 10.1163/9789004749368_010 Ancient Women and War in the Mediterranean World Brill

This question continues to divide thinkers, especially against the backdrop of escalating socio-ecological problems. In this chapter, I approach the polarized debate about growth through a constructivist lens that regards its (un)desirability as a social fact. I undertake an exploratory analysis of the policy position of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) under the leadership of Robert Habeck from the Green Party. The empirical evidence leads me to argue that the BMWK remains firmly in the pro-growth camp. Notably, the ministry insists that ‘sustainable growth’ can be attained with the right policies. It does not even entertain growth-critical ideas at a time when post-growth arguments are gaining more traction. Overall, the chapter suggests that growth-friendly policies are not good or bad as such, but certain social groups deem them to be good or bad. 2025 10.51952/9781447371564 Ineffective Policies: Causes and Consequences of Bad Policy Choices Bristol University Press

This study explores the impact of workations on the hospitality industry and their role in the New Work paradigm. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory and New Work concepts, we examine the motivations of workationers, and the adaptations hospitality providers have made to serve this emerging market. Through qualitative analysis of interviews with five hospitality industry experts and six workationers, we uncover key drivers behind the workation trend, including the desire for improved work-life integration, escapism, and the pursuit of novel experiences. Our findings reveal that successful workation offerings depend on providing environments that support autonomy, competence, and relatedness - the core tenets of self-determination theory. Destinations looking to capitalize on the workation trend could improve infrastructure and amenities, foster community integration, enhance work-life balance opportunities, and expand their long-term stay offerings. All in all, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on the intersection of work and tourism and offers insights into how destinations can leverage the workation trend to increase their competitiveness and resilience in a rapidly evolving tourism landscape. The analysis suggests that workations are more than a temporary trend. Instead, they represent a fundamental shift in how work, leisure, and travel are conceptualized and experienced in the era of New Work. 2025 June 10.1016/j.jdmm.2025.100991 Journal of Destination Marketing & Management 36 Elsevier

In Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film Biutiful (Citation2010), the Chinese are reduced to childminders and exploitative bosses, while in Almudena Grandes’s novel Los besos en el pan (Citation2015), a group of Chinese hairdressers are presented as identikit and docile, deprived of any individuality. Elvira Navarro’s novel La ciudad feliz Navarro (Citation2009) fictionalizes the coming-of-age of a young Chinese immigrant male child and the travails of his Chinese immigrant family as they settle into Spanish society. The novel reconceives Chinese immigrant integration into Spanish society as a complex phenomenon, forged at the interface of converging linguistic, emotional, gender, and mnemonic factors in both the country of origin and the host country. In so doing, it underscores the complexity of Chinese assimilation to Spain, which has been reduced to ghettoization, while also reconceiving Chinese immigrants as sentient, historical beings and unique individuals who enact idiosyncratic gender performances. Drawing on a wide range of affect, gender, migration, and linguistic theories, I analyze the representation of Chinese immigrant masculinity and femininity within the novel, which encompasses the categories of the tiger mother, the traumatized male immigrant, the father-son relationship, the ageing male immigrant, and the second-generation male immigrant. In so doing, I highlight the heterogeneity of the representation of the Chinese immigrant, thus expanding the current understanding of it. 2025 1 10.1080/14682737.2025.2552023 Hispanic Research Journal 25 3 199–214 Senior Fellows https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14682737.2025.2552023 Lorraine Ryan inbook 2025 9781041030454 Economic Ideas Across Borders.

Specifically, we suggest in this introduction that a variety of international and transnational actors craft green visions, thereby not only outlining what (un)sustainability means for them but also promoting distinct conceptions of future world order. In other words, ideas about sustainability are not politically innocent; instead, each explicitly or implicitly revolves around a particular conception of world order. The special issue bridges and complements existing work in international relations and global environmental politics by examining how the global green visions of various actors interact with understandings of world order, rather than merely acknowledging that claims about what is “sustainable” and “unsustainable” are contested. In fact, global green visions are contested precisely because they entail renegotiations of how to govern under the increasingly difficult conditions of the Anthropocene. 2025 1 10.1162/glep.a.13 Global Environmental Politics MIT Press

Within the genres of turbo-folk and chalga, ancient Egyptian motifs are predominantly found in the music videos for the songs which do not necessarily always refer to ancient Egypt. In contrast, in hip-hop examples of Egyptomania, ancient Egyptian motifs are found both in the music videos and the lyrics of the songs. My results indicates that Egyptomania in turbo-folk and chalga serves to create a Balkan orientalist fantasy which does not differ much from similar global orientalist fantasies of ancient Egypt. In contrast, examples coming from Serbian and Bulgarian rap, although still relying on orientalist stereotypes, show a much more creative use of ancient Egyptian motifs to express different local social issues (female empowerment and class struggle). 2025 Journal of the International Society for the Study of Egyptomania 1 2–28 Senior Fellows https://www.issegyptomania.com/isse-journal https://static1.squarespace.com/static/620cb7823e7271152f917c2c/t/6897548ff359a516a3463f76/1754748047643/1+Matic+Balkan+Turbo-Folk.pdf Uroš Matić article The extant literature largely ignores the micro-governance of collaborative networks (CNs), that is, the day-to-day functions that CN coordinators need to perform to produce a collaborative environment that stimulates joint action. This paper aims to identify which configurations of micro-governance functions foster an internal collaborative environment in CNs. We collected data from 36 CNs for water protection in Brazil and performed a Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). Results show two configurations that may be adopted in different situations. Although the first configuration requires all six micro-governance functions to be performed, the second one does not require high monitoring. This configuration is adopted by CNs whose stakeholders do not have a previous history of conflict. Our study advances the theory of collaborative governance by empirically demonstrating how micro-governance functions enable effective implementation in natural resources management. We contribute to the practice of collaborative governance by describing how CN coordinators may enhance their day-to-day activities. 2025 1 10.1002/eet.70017 Environmental Policy and Governance Early View Online Wiley

In parallel, the necessity of including sexual and gender minorities in these three areas has also garnered growing attention, recognizing the marginalization and specific needs of LGBTQI+ people. This critical literature review examines both scholarly and ‘grey’ publications on the place of sexual and gender minorities in each of the triple nexus’s three areas, documenting what is known and what is not. It also examines the challenges for implementation and achieving impact before proposing a global research agenda on LGBTQI+ people and the triple nexus. 2025 1 10.1177/14649934251401342 Progress in Development Studies Senior Fellows https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14649934251401342 Morgane Rosier Stephen Brown Dennis Dijkzeul blogpost 2025 The Society Pages 11 November 2025 Senior Fellows https://thesocietypages.org/specials/midlife-motherhood-everything-everywhere-all-at-once/ Tannistha Samanta article The capture of Jerusalem during the First Crusade, the extirpation of various heresies in the twelfth and thirteen centuries, the gradual expansion of Christian rule in the Iberian peninsula, and the mass conversion of Jews to Christianity there during the fourteenth century, all seemed to support a Christian triumphalism that imagined that as the End Time approached, Jews and other infidels would inevitably be absorbed into the Church. Nonetheless, an expanding medieval awareness of the many ‘Others’ beyond Christendom contributed to Christian anxieties that Jews (or Muslims) might expand their number through mass conversion, and not Christians. This paper will examine some sources of this anxiety. 2025 1 10.3390/histories5030036 Histories 3 5 Senior Fellows https://www.mdpi.com/2409-9252/5/3/36 Irven Resnick book This book is the first volume of two edited collections that critically assess the historical and contemporary processes that have shaped the formation and transformation of the African university.

Senior Fellows https://brill.com/display/title/71770 Patrício Langa David Kaldewey inbook Internationalization and globalization of higher education represent one of the key features of contemporary global (knowledge) economy and society. By performing the functions of education, research and third mission, higher education institutions are social institutions through which countries participate in the global society. One of the features of internationalization of higher education is the increasing use of English language as medium of instruction, research and outreach. This chapter presents key conventional theoretical perspectives—such as sociolinguistic theory of social and linguistic capital, and decolonial critical theory—often used to account for language policies and practices pertaining to internationalization of higher education in non-Anglophone multilingual societies. The chapter brings global examples, but also experiences of African higher education institutions vis-à-vis the use of English for academic purposes. The chapter’s assumption is that English is increasingly becoming and being perceived as essential and hegemonic in internationalizing African higher education, despite the challenges non-Anglophone African academic community face in using English for academic purposes. The chapter argues that the Anglicization of African academia reinforces the domination of Global North’s science over the Global South’s, as well as the global inequalities in knowledge production and dissemination. 2025 10.1007/978-3-032-00887-9_4 The Palgrave Handbook of Internationalization of Language Education Palgrave Macmillan

The Civic Voluntarism Model has frequently been used to explain political participation by emphasizing citizens’ resources, psychological engagement, and recruiting as important antecedents. While the model has received extensive support from cross-sectional studies among adults, we know little about its explanatory power for the development of adolescents’ willingness to participate. Thus, this study aims to determine whether and how adolescents’ resources (i.e., political knowledge, socioeconomic background, cultural capital), psychological engagement (political interest and efficacy), and recruitment (peers’ participatory attitudes, discussions, and school track) are related to the development of three types of willingness to participate (civic engagement, activism, voting) among high school students from Grade 7 to 8. For this purpose, we performed cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses with data from N = 444 students. Overall, our structural equation models indicated positive associations between the Civic Voluntarism Model components and willingness to participate, with considerable variation between the cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. For the cross-sectional analyses, we found positive associations between political interest and all examined forms of willingness to participate. In the longitudinal analyses, we found that socioeconomic background was related to all forms of willingness to participate. The results for other factors varied depending on the type of political participation. Future studies should strive to systematically investigate these differences and inspect the specific interplay between factors. The consistent longitudinal findings on socioeconomic statues point to the need to counteract political inequality through measures such as civic education. 2025 1 10.1037/xge0001766 Journal of Experimental Psychology: General 1 155 American Psychology Association

Bitcoin's founding phase revolved around the principles of self-governance and self-limitation, which combined to create a commitment to degrowing the financial system and limiting monetary production to impede accumulation. Yet growth logics soon began to unfold after Bitcoin's creation in 2009. How and why did that shift occur, and with what implications? We rely on white papers and outputs of alt-coin founders to trace the socio-technical relations underpinning the emergence and expansion of ‘alt-infrastructures’ oriented around growth. We demonstrate how what was originally designed as a post-growth infrastructure largely, albeit not fully, succumbed to conventional growth dynamics over a fairly short period. 2025 1 10.1080/03085147.2025.2590941 Economy and Society 4 54 765–788 RG Kranke https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03085147.2025.2590941 Malcolm Campbell-Verduyn Matthias Kranke article 2025 10.14361/pop-2025-140105 Pop.

This plethora of pop cultural 'Sisi' products both reflects and produces a cult affect surrounding the figure of 'Sisi'. Recent films by female auteurs Frauke Finsterwalder ( Sisi und Ich, 2023) and Marie Kreutzer ( Corsage, 2022) present especially complex, partly fantastical pictures of this figure. I will argue here that these recent filmic 'Sisi' iterations embody a unique mode of female fetishism that invites us to reconsider the fetish from a feminist perspective. 2025 https://doi.org/10.1353/aus.00040 Austrian Studies 33 Modern Humanities Research Association 137–155 Senior Fellows https://muse.jhu.edu/article/981925 Heidi Schlipphacke book Strategy and Leadership for Grand Societal Challenges: Bridging Theory and Practice offers a thorough examination of grand challenges (GCs), addressing the origins and impacts of these global issues while outlining practical solutions. Through a blend of theoretical exploration and real-world case studies, this book reveals how businesses, governments, and organizations can strategically approach GCs to foster societal progress. It presents a toolkit for addressing GCs, focusing on key areas like multi-stakeholder collaboration, innovative business models, and responsible innovation. Readers will gain insights into ethical and transformative leadership and the importance of open strategizing, which prioritizes transparency, inclusivity, and socially aligned decision-making. Practical guidance and theoretical frameworks equip leaders to navigate the complex and sometimes paradoxical aspects of GCs, helping them drive meaningful, sustainable impact. This book is essential reading for academics, researchers, and advanced students in the fields of business management, leadership studies, and public policy, especially those focused on addressing complex societal issues through strategic frameworks. It also offers valuable insights for scholars investigating the intersections of ethics, responsible innovation, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. While practitioners and policymakers may find actionable strategies within its pages, scholars and professionals alike will benefit from its rigorous theoretical foundation and empirical case studies. 2025 9781041033677 Routledge

It asks: What are the main factors that contributed to decriminalization in Botswana in 2019? What relative role did national, regional and international actors play? Drawing in part on interviews with key actors and observers in Southern Africa, it argues that Botswanan LGBTQI+ activists’ efforts outside the courtroom played a key role. They mobilized crucial support, expertise and financial resources of allies at home and elsewhere in Southern Africa, with some financial assistance from the Southern African affiliate of an international philanthropic network. Nonetheless, national activists maintained ownership of the process. The case thus contradicts assumptions in the literature that when human rights activists obtain assistance from transnational activist networks, the aid comes from the Global North and the international actors dominate the process. 2025 1 10.1177/13634607251408677 Sexualities Special Issue: Queer Organising in the Global South Senior Fellows https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13634607251408677 Stephen Brown inbook 2025 9781836680987 Language Diversity, Policy and Social Justice: In Honor of Terrence G.

The characteristics and causes of this process have been examined under the concept of state financialization in a recently growing multidisciplinary literature. It remains puzzling, however, why a dramatically failed financialized approach to public finance in some cases leads to definancialization, while in others it proves to be resilient. Drawing on two comparative case studies of policy responses to crisis situations arising from the use of opaque financial instruments (swaps) at the local level in Germany and the US, this chapter examines the conditions leading to these different patterns of policy change. By bridging approaches to policy change after crisis with current research on fictional expectation formation, the chapter points to the centrality of the “politics of expectations.” Policy outcomes are the result of fierce struggles between financial experts and civil society actors to influence decision-makers’ expectations in times of fundamental uncertainty. 2025 10.4324/9781003379010-36 The Routledge Handbook of Economic Expectations in Historical Perspective Routledge

Statt es als rein biologische Reaktion zu verstehen, untersucht der Artikel, wie es zum Bestandteil und Effekt von Machtbeziehungen wird. In Auseinandersetzung mit dem Konzept der thermischen Gewalt (Nicole Starosielski) und dem „model case“ der Sweatbox wird gezeigt, dass der Gewaltbegriff an seine Grenzen stößt, wenn es zu alltäglichen Aushandlungsprozessen thermischer Machtbeziehungen kommt. Um den umweltlichen Charakter und die Materialität des Schwitzens denken zu können, wird Karen Barads Begriff der Intra-Aktion mit Blick auf thermische Phänomene kritisch diskutiert. Als ein spezifischer Modus der Intra-Aktion wird der Begriff der thermischen Intrasubjektivität vorgeschlagen, der auf die Machteffekte sensorischer Relationen zielt. Der Begriff beschreibt die prekäre Gleichzeitigkeit von Entsubjektivierungsprozessen durch Hitze einerseits und deren subjektivierenden, fixierenden Wirkungen andererseits. An historischen Beispielen werden die differenzerzeugenden Effekte des Schwitzens – u. a. seine Bedeutung für körperliche Arbeit, für vergeschlechtlichte Hygieneregime und rassifizierende Diskurse – herausgearbeitet.

This paper examines reports of his anti-Judaism and its potential influence in England in the period before the English crown expelled the entire Jewish community in 1290. 2025 1 10.3390/rel16050605 Religions 5 16 Senior Fellows https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/16/5/605 Irven Resnick inbook Is there such a thing as an “African university”? What characterises an “African” university? What does it mean to be an African university, apart from being a university in Africa? What insights can we gain by studying the university in Africa? These questions guide our exploration in this conceptual chapter. To answer them, we examine the grand narratives and competing models that have shaped the way African universities define their identities as distinct, socially situated institutions. We start by exploring the idea of the university as a travelling concept and show that the modern university underwent significant transformations as it expanded beyond Western societies to become a global institution. As the European model spread across the world during the colonial and capitalist developments of the 19th and 20th centuries, it adapted to incorporate different features relevant to new contexts. With the rise of the postcolonial condition in the second half of the 20th century, nationally rooted institutions began to evolve. As they negotiated their institutional fabric and societal role, they reflected both global trends and local realities. To better understand this process, we discuss in detail four narratives and corresponding models that have shaped and continue to shape the idea of the university in Africa. 2025 04 25 978-90-04-72269-9 Negotiating the Fabric of the African University Brill

Donahue inbook Gender and feminist archaeologists have fought for decades against gender stereotypes through academic writing, museum exhibitions, and popular literature, among other mediums. Despite their efforts, many of these stereotypes—e.g. depictions of men only as hunters and producers of tools and women only as gatherers and caregivers, or same-sex practices being considered a modern invention or a disorder—continue to survive and even flourish, both in academic and non-academic settings, especially in countries where gender archaeology does not exist or where gender in archaeology is barely discussed. These stereotypes reflect essentialist interpretations and (visual) representations of the past, which often replicate contemporary ontologies, perceptions, and dichotomies. The past, however, was probably just as diverse as our contemporary reality. Using a feminist and intersectional framework, this paper discusses the possibilities and challenges of creating more diverse and inclusive visual representations of the past. It does so by presenting the case study of an editorial project resulting in an illustrated booklet on gender stereotypes in archaeology, edited under the aegis of the Archaeology and Gender in Europe Community of the European Association of Archaeologists. In a thought-provoking and open way, this booklet addresses often uncomfortable topics concerning gender in archaeology through images and text, in an attempt to raise awareness among the professionals and fans of the discipline of archaeology. 2025 10.1007/978-3-031-98241-5_9 Diversity in Visual Representations of the Past Springer

Based on data from N = 1047 students in Grade 7 (n = 613) and Grade 10 (n = 434), we examined whether the unskilled and unaware effect exists with regard to high school students’ political knowledge, whether the effect is different in Grade 7 and Grade 10, and how teachers’ behavior (i.e., cognitively activating and motivating teaching) affects students’ judgement accuracy and judgement direction. The results show that the unskilled and unaware effect exists in both grade levels. Furthermore, visual and statistical examination of the data suggest that the pattern of data is very similar in both grade levels. Finally, we further find that perceived motivational quality is associated with judgement accuracy, but also with overconfidence. Perceived cognitive activation is negatively associated with judgement accuracy. Through the usage of two-cohort data, this study applies a novel approach and bears important implications for research on the unskilled and unaware effect. Furthermore, the results regarding the teachers’ behavior provide important insights for educational practice in civic education. 2025 1 10.1016/j.cedpsych.2025.102370 Contemporary Educational Psychology 81 Elsevier

By the thirteenth century, the Talmud had become the subject of a public disputation in Paris, was condemned by papal and secular Christian authorities, and was publicly burned in France. Yet by the end of the thirteenth century some Christian theologians—Christian Talmudists—would investigate the Talmud in search of hidden support of Christian doctrines. 2024 Middle Ages for Educators Senior Fellows https://middleagesforeducators.princeton.edu/burning-talmud-thirteeth-century-france Irven Resnick article In the era of Agriculture 4.0, agricultural cooperatives are struggling to understand the challenges and threats the digital platforms of large agribusiness corporations represent for the competitiveness of cooperative systems. An opportunity in this context is for agricultural cooperatives to enter the platform economy and collaboratively develop their digital platform. This study aims to analyze the process of creating a digital platform through the collaboration of agribusiness cooperatives. The action research method, which involved four interconnected cycles, was followed. The first cycle aimed to generate strategic alignment among thirty cooperatives to promote digital innovation. The second cycle referred to conceptualizing and establishing the project's governance structure and developing three minimum viable products. The third cycle involved the construction of the digital platform. The fourth and final cycle focused on instantiating the platform through diffusion and utilization by the cooperatives. A digital platform was developed, considering the potential for building relationships and adopting cooperative concepts. The platform gives participants access to a digital business ecosystem and direct access to the community of users, the infrastructure and the data. This means the cooperatives can manage them without subordination to large multinational companies that may threaten their long-term survival. The study contributes to theory by proposing a systematic method to create digital platforms following a cooperative approach. It also contributes to the managerial practice by revealing the steps and challenges managers may face when implementing digital platforms in the context of cooperatives. The platform attracted over 13,000 active users in three years and represented more than 1,700,000 ha of land for food production in Brazil. 2024 August 1 0743-0167 10.1016/j.jrurstud.2024.103388 Journal of Rural Studies 110 Elsevier B.V.

In confronting colonial discourse, the writers, in most cases, resort to deploying the natures (I prefer the plural form) and the nonhuman elements of their traditional societies, which constitute what many scholars see as the cultural context of their writing in postcolonial reading practice. By way of shifting the paradigm, I propose an ecocentric reading practice that unbundles the notion of cultural context to reveal its heavy reliance on the African natural world. The recourse to natures, I argue, is a decolonial strategy, in that the writers deploy the natural world to counter the Western civilisation imposed on their epistemological order. In the end, the natural world remains the forte of the African writer in presenting a civilisation that claims to be more all-embracing (of humans and their nonhuman others) than the Western one with emphasis on human exceptionalism. I then read Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Okot p’Bitek’s Song of Lawino as illustrations of how African writers of the colonial moment anchor their counter-discourse on the African natural world. It is hoped that this reading practice will inspire a revisionist reading of African literature that places indigenous ecology at the centre of decolonial philosophy and practice. 2024 July 30 1 1753-5409, 1812-5441 10.1080/18125441.2024.2345638 Scrutiny2 Taylor & Francis

International actors rapidly expressed their disapproval and temporarily suspended some foreign aid, which elicited a negative response from the Tanzanian government and soured donor–recipient relations. The incident was short-lived, however, and expressed mainly at the symbolic level and does not appear to have achieved any change in policies or practices either among the donors or in Tanzania. How should one interpret this sudden eruption of frictions and its lack of impact and what are its implications? I argue that international actors felt pressure to take quick, visible action, regardless of how ineffective those steps could be expected to be. Politicians from Tanzania's ruling party seized this occasion to ramp up anti-LGBT+ and anti-donor rhetoric, attempting to strengthen their standing domestically. Both sides used the opportunity to express their identity as either defenders or opponents of LGBT+ rights. This case shows how donor–recipient frictions can be primarily performative and reflect both sides' desire to please their own constituencies without implementing any lasting changes to aid flows or domestic policy in the recipient country. 2024 en https://doi.org/10.1002/jid.3978 Journal of International Development 3 37 John Wiley & Sons

Döring, Jörg / Schneider, Ute 153–171 Scientific Board https://www.verbrecherverlag.de/shop/bildung-taschenbuch-brd/ Friedrich Balke article Over recent decades, one can identify two key narratives associated with changes in university organization and governance. The first narrative focuses on the administrative consequences of an off-loading state relinquishing direct control over some of universities’ internal operations while at the same time driving bureaucratization at the institutional level. The second narrative focuses on the emergence of an increasingly competitive and uncertain environment driving universities to transform into strategically managed organizations. In this paper, we argue that while the organizational logics associated with these two narratives imply differently accentuated forms of legitimation, they converge and combine with respect to key dimensions of universities’ internal organizing, ultimately giving rise to a hybrid form of organizational governance we label ‘strategic bureaucracy’. Such strategic bureaucracy, we illustrate, is characterized by a strong focus on strategic leadership and the associated management techniques while also intensifying organizational features traditionally associated with bureaucratic governance such as formalization and hierarchical authority. 2024 July 31 1 en 10.1007/s11024-024-09535-1 Minerva 1 63 Springer

Prior research shows, that CMB can be individualistic or collectivistic in orientation and highlights the episodic nature of CMB. However, in focusing on analyzing specific conflicts and conflict dynamics in cooperations, research paid less attention to how conflict and CMB are influenced by structural patterns and thus might overstate the role of individual agency compared to the role of the general structure of the cooperation. We address this issue by investigating the inter-organizational cooperation of IT-freelancers and their client organizations. Based on 18semi-structured problem-centered and expert interviews with IT-freelancers, representatives of client organizations and agencies, we show that the CMB orientation depends on the very institutionalized sequential stages of the cooperation. While individualistic CMBs dominate the pre-contract sequence, in which recruitment processes and negotiations take place, parties switch to collectivistic CMB in the contract sequence, in which the actual cooperation iscarried out. The post-contract sequence serves for reflections on the cooperation and thereby affects the readiness for future collaborations andinforms future pre-contract sequences, again. Thus, with focus on the IT industry the paper addresses research gaps related to the specific temporality and temporal structuring of contingent work. It introduces a sequence-oriented framework and analysis of conflict and conflict management in inter-organizational projects and thereby complements the established episodical perspective on conflicts by taking into account a rather structural viewpoint. 2024 August 24 eng 10.34891/zckv-8a93 Negotiation and Conflict Management Research 3 17 Carnegie Mellon University Library Publishing Service

Diekmann, Stefanie 81–99 Scientific Board https://tdz.de/shop/produkt/nebenfiguren Friedrich Balke article In some instances, two basic development cooperation principles appear to be in direct contradiction: on the one hand, the Sustainable Development Goals prescribe universal social inclusion under the leitmotif of “leave no one behind”, mandating an emphasis on the most marginalized. On the other hand, the cornerstone of development cooperation is “ownership”, which recognizes that countries must be free to choose their own priorities and strategies. To what extent can these two principles be reconciled in “hostile environments”, places where certain groups, such as LGBTQI+ people, are marginalized and even persecuted and criminalized? I argue that, while the SDGs are clear about the need for radical inclusion, the ownership principle lacks precision about who “owns” the concept. Adopting an emancipatory conceptualization of ownership, under which the ultimate beneficiaries should be the ones to determine priorities and strategies, eliminates the apparent contradiction and legitimizes support to marginalized groups even if their own governments disagree. 2024 August 1 1 eng 10.1002/jid.3929 Journal of International Development John Wiley & Sons

Hannig, Nicolai / Schimm, Anette / Wünschmann, Kim 124–130 Scientific Board Ute Schneider inproceedings Sozial- und gesundheitspolitische Transformationsprozesse haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu Veränderungen im deutschen Gesundheitssystem geführt, die auch den Wandel von Karrierewegen, insbesondere von Frauen, einschließen. Im Beitrag analysieren wir, wie insbesondere weibliche Karrieren in der Medizin kollektiv von verschiedenen institutionellen Logiken (Barley 1989) beeinflusst werden. Führungsrollen, bestimmte Berufe und die zu ihrer Ausübung erforderlichen Fähigkeiten werden dabei an Männlichkeit bzw. an das männliche Geschlecht geknüpft. Ein Paradebeispiel hierfür ist die Medizin (Krell 2008). Andere institutionelle Logiken betreffen den Mangel an medizinischen Fachkräften, die Ökonomisierung bzw. Kommodifizierung sowie die Feminisierung der Medizin. Flankierend hierzu ändern sich auch die Ansprüche an Arbeit. So führen z. B. gestiegene Ansprüche an die Work-Life-Balance zu einer Zunahme der Teilzeitbeschäftigung von Ärzt*innen im Krankenhausbereich, was einerseits die Realisierung veränderter Arbeitsanforderungen ermöglicht, andererseits aber Auswirkungen auf die beruflichen Karrieren hat. Unser Datenmaterial umfasst zwei qualitative Studien mit Ärzt*innen in deutschen Krankenhäusern. Die beiden Studien wurden zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten durchgeführt, um nicht nur die Veränderungen in den Karriereverläufen von Frauen zu analysieren, sondern auch die Auswirkungen der oben erwähnten Transformation der beruflichen Laufbahnen. 2023 Dec. de 10.57938/wp15.2023.005 WU Gender and Diversity Conference 2023.

The neologism workation is composed of the words work and vacation – two terms that at first glance seem incompatible or even contradictory in tourism research. Since our study aims to delve deeper into the phenomenon of workation, we conducted a qualitative study in which we explored both the supply side (hotel managers) and the demand side (workationers). Based on the analysis of eleven qualitative interviews, we show that workationers neither fit into the category of working tourists nor traveling workers. Instead, the artificially created distinction between business and leisure tourism seems to be outdated, especially in a digitalized world. 2023 1 10.1016/j.tmp.2023.101096 Tourism Management Perspectives 46 Elsevier Ltd.

Under what conditions does ideological identification succeed or fail? I answer this question by analyzing three scenarios of interpellation: Erich Auerbach investigates the scene of successful police identification and arrest in connection with a revolt in the late Roman Empire; Karl Marx describes the adoption of Roman names, phrases, and costumes by French revolutionaries as the necessary conditions for bringing about bourgeois society; and finally, analyses of today’s political networks reveal an extensive crisis of interpellation manifested in controversies surrounding the naming and classification of political actors without official status. 2022 June 9 de 10.1515/iasl-2022-0009 Internationales Archiv für Sozialgeschichte der deutschen Literatur 1 47 De Gruyter

von Ammon, Frieder / Waltenberger, Michael 261–289 Scientific Board https://www.peterlang.com/document/1268138 Julika Griem book Im Buch werden zum ersten Mal die vielfältigen Forschungsergebnisse zum Wissenstransfer auf die gehobene Gastronomie übertragen. Anhand vieler praktischer Beispiele aus der Gastronomie werden unter anderem folgende Fragen beantwortet: Was ist eigentlich Wissen und welches Wissen ist in der Gastronomie wichtig? Wie funktioniert Wissenstransfer in verschiedenen Küchentypen? Von welchen Faktoren hängt die Weitergabe von Wissen ab? Wie kann man Wissen in der Gastronomie managen? Welches Wissen braucht es im Service? In welchen Bereichen spielt die Beratung als Wissensquelle eine Rolle? Diese Fragen werden auf der Grundlage von wissenschaftlichen Studien beantwortet und unterhaltsam dargelegt. Hierbei kommen auch viele bekannte Persönlichkeiten aus der gehobenen Gastronomie zu Wort und erläutern Herausforderungen und mögliche Lösungen für den Wissenstransfer in ihren Betrieben. 2022 de 978-3658379292 10.1007/978-3-658-37930-8 Springer

Balke, Friedrich / Linseisen, Elisa 7–33 Scientific Board https://brill.com/display/book/edcoll/9783846764947/BP000002.xml Friedrich Balke Elisa Linseisen article Die Klagen über mangelnde Lese- und Schreibkompetenzen der Studierenden sind unter Lehrenden an Universitäten weit verbreitet. Sie beschränken sich keineswegs auf die Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften; werden dort aber zu einer besonderen Herausforderung für Lehrende und Lernende. Denn in der Geschichtswissenschaft; die im Zentrum des Beitrags steht; gilt es eine Fachsprache zu erwerben; die nur vermeintlich nah an der Alltagssprache ist. Da ein entsprechend sensibler Umgang mit Sprache nicht vorausgesetzt werden kann; hat das Historische Institut der Universität Duisburg-Essen gemeinsam mit der Schreibwerkstatt ein Textkompetenzmodul entwickelt; das die Kompetenzen in der Fachsprache entwickeln und vertiefen soll. 2022 de 0016-9056 Geschichte in Wissenschaft und Unterricht 9/10 79 Friedrich Verlag

Diese war von zwei Entwicklungen geprägt: Zum einen resultierte die zeitweise Schließung von Ladengeschäften in einer stark ansteigenden Nachfrage des Online-Handels, was für die Beschäftigten in der Paketzustellung zu einer Intensivierung und Zunahme der zu bewältigenden Arbeitsmenge führte. Zum anderen musste der Zustellprozess möglichst kontaktlos erfolgen. Die sich hieraus ergebenden Folgen und Spannungen für Arbeit, Organisation und Mitbestimmung werden mit einem vertiefenden Fallstudienansatz empirisch untersucht. Grundlage bilden leitfadengestützte Interviews mit dem Management und Interessenvertreter*innen, die von Herbst 2020 bis Frühjahr 2021 erhoben wurden. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass die Maßgabe der Kontaktreduktion intern mit Hilfe einer räumlichen und zeitlichen Trennung der Arbeitsvorbereitung umgesetzt wurde. Diese führten gleichermaßen zu Entlastung (z.B. äußerst geringes Infektionsgeschehen im Betrieb) und Belastung, weil sie den Beschäftigten eine hohe Flexibilitäts- und Kompromissbereitschaft abverlangten. Die Zusteller*innen bewältigten die hohe Arbeitslast durch die kontaktlose Übergabe der Pakete und unter Einsatz ihrer subjektiven Ressourcen. Neues Personal konnte aus anderen krisengebeutelten Branchen abgeworben werden. Für den Betriebsrat entpuppte sich der Beginn der Covid-19-Pandemie als eine arbeitspolitische Schrecksekunde, in der er das Management zunächst gewähren ließ. 2022 March 28 1 de 10.1515/arbeit-2022-0002 ARBEIT 31 De Gruyter

Der Beitrag erörtert das Potenzial vom M.L. Pratts Begriff der »Kontaktzone«, um der Kontingenz und Konfliktträchtigkeit des kommunikativen Grenzverkehrs zwischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft besser gerecht werden zu können. Im Zentrum stehen sowohl verräumlichende Konzeptbegriffe als auch reale Schauplätze von Wissenschaftskommunikation in verschiedenen Inszenierungs- und Erzählformaten wie z.B. der Berliner Falling Walls-Konferenz. Als zentrales Problem zwischen Programmen und Praxis, ›talk‹ und ›action‹ der Wissenschaftskommunikation markiert der Beitrag mit Helen Wilson die Paradoxien organisierter Begegnungen: Will man Wissenschaftskommunikation im Zeichen von Dialog und Partizipation institutionalisieren, dürfen Störungen und Überraschungen nicht einem Ideal von plan- und kontrollierbarer Kommunikation untergeordnet werden. Störungen sind vielmehr als konstitutiver Bestandteil auch der Wissenschaftskommunikation zu denken; und ihre materiellen Orte und diskursiven Räume, ihre Gelegenheiten und Rituale dürfen sich daher nicht vorschnell gegen Unvorhergesehenes abschließen. 2022 September 13 de 10.1007/s41244-022-00259-x Zeitschrift für Literaturwissenschaft und Linguistik 3 52 Springer

53–81 Scientific Board Friedrich Balke article Modern work structures and organizations are often characterized by the simultaneous existence of multiple logics. Research has made profound efforts in describing a wide range of possible responses to different constellations of multiple logics in recent decades. But less is known about the subsequent effects of those responses. Since responses to multiple logics aim to change the initial constellation, they are likely to provoke counter-responses that alter the new constellation. Thus, as butterfly effect, certain strategies in dealing with multiple logics can initiate a series of responses that can lead to a fundamental change in the constellations of logics. The rise and fall of locum tenens physicians in Germany illustrate how series of responses can evolve, increase, and fundamentally alter the given constellation of logics. Thereby, our multi-method study also sheds light on the role of omnipresent actors and raises the question of how the actors can be theorized in a setting of multiple logics. 2021 December 27 eng 10.1093/jpo/joab021 Journal of Professions and Organization 1 9 Oxford Academic - Oxford University Press
