The Menage Expedition to the Philippines: An Unexpected Prelude to Colonial Governance
No full textThis book examines the processes of scientific, cultural, political, technical, colonial and violent appropriation during the 19th century.
The 19th century was the century of world travel. The earth was explored, surveyed, described, illustrated, and categorized. Travelogues became world bestsellers. Modern technology accompanied the travelers and adventurers: clocks, a postal and telegraph system, surveying equipment, and cameras. The world grew together faster and faster. Previously unknown places became better known: the highest peaks, the coldest spots, the hottest deserts, and the most remote cities. Knowledge about the white spots of the earth was systematically collected. Those who made a name for themselves in the 19th century are still read today. Alexander von Humboldt or Charles Darwin made the epoch a scientific heyday. Ida Pfeiffer or Isabelle Bird (Bishop) traveled to distant continents and took their readers at home on insightful journeys. Hermann Vámbéry or Sir Richard Burton got to know the most remote languages and regions. There are countless travel reports about a fascinating century, which, with surveying and exploration, also brought colonial conquest and exploitation into the world. In ten individual studies, the authors explore travelers from all over the world and analyze their successes. The unifying element of all the studies is the experience of distance and its communication by means of travelogues to the armchair travelers who have stayed at home

No full textImplementation of a Parent Training Program During Community-Based Dissemination (From In-Person to Hybrid): Mixed Methods Evaluation
No full textBackground: Parent training interventions support and strengthen parenting practices and parent-child relationships and improve child behavior. Between March 2018 and February 2020, a community-based parenting program conducted 38 in-person Chicago Parent Program (CPP) groups. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we modified the delivery of the in-person CPP to hybrid delivery using the self-administered, web-based version of the CPP (ezParent) paired with web-based, video conferenced group sessions.
Objective: This study aims to describe the delivery transition and implementation outcomes of the hybrid delivery of the CPP (ezParent + group) during community-based dissemination.
Methods: This single-group, mixed methods retrospective evaluation examined the implementation outcomes using the RE-AIM (Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework. We report on data from hybrid ezParent delivery between September 2020 and August 2022. Parents completed pre- and post program surveys that included motivation to participate and perceived changes in parent-child behavior. Digital analytics captured ezParent completion. Facilitators completed fidelity assessments and participated in postintervention interviews.
Results: In total, 24 hybrid ezParent groups (n=240 parents) were delivered by 13 CPP-trained facilitators. Parents reported high levels of satisfaction with the program and improvements in their feelings of parenting self-efficacy and their child’s behavior following their participation in hybrid ezParent. On average, parents completed 4.58 (SD 2.43) 6 ezParent modules. The average group attendance across the 4 sessions was 71.2%. Facilitators found the hybrid delivery easy to implement and reported high parent engagement and understanding of CPP strategies.
Conclusions: Using the hybrid ezParent intervention is a feasible and effective way to engage parents. Lessons learned included the importance of academic and community-based organization partnerships for delivering and evaluating robust programs. Implementation facilitators and barriers and future research recommendations are discussed
Introducing Volume 1 of Gatherings: Lessons in Feminist Placemaking in the Present Time
No full textPlacemaking has been a central feature of feminist agency and action. In Volume 1 of Gatherings, scholars identify such horizons of potential, and we see new concepts emerge in these reflections–terms like vulnerability, rupture, performance, vigilance, humility, violence, care, listening, and virtual/digital modes of presence. The contributors in this volume attend to the simultaneity of the questions that make up feminist placemaking
Radical Methods
No full textFeminist Spaces are hard to create and define. The construction of such spaces necessitates unpacking how power dynamics manifest among and between women, and the importance of deconstructing these. But such a task is fraught with difficulty. Radical Methods offers reflections on different ways that Feminists of Color, and especially Latina Feminisms, have attempted to work through such difficulties and my own engagements with scholars such as Gloria Anzaldúa who have offered methods for moving towards such opportunities
Black Queer Feminist Placemaking and the Normalization of Difference
No full textThis article examines feminist placemaking through a Black feminist lens that employs queer of color critique. It argues that the most important aspect of Black feminist placemaking is an acknowledgment of nonhierarchical difference. Once difference is acknowledged as the norm within any truly feminist space, Black feminist placemaking must be active. This form of placemaking cannot be merely theoretical. Black feminist placemaking must be praxis
