Lower Court Popular Constitutionalism
No full textScholars of popular constitutionalism have persuasively argued that an array of nonjudicial actors—social movements, the federal political branches, state and local political entities—play an important role in shaping constitutional meaning. To date, the accounts of such scholars have largely focused on the ways that constitutional doctrine at the Supreme Court level can be infiltrated and shaped by such popular constitutional influences. In this Essay, Professor Katie Eyer draws on the events following the Obama Administration’s February 2011 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) announcement—and the history of gay equality litigation that preceded it—to develop a theory of the lower federal courts as participants in the popular constitutionalism dialogue

Storytelling
No full textOnce upon a time before words were written, before cultures and societies were observed and analyzed there was storytelling. Storytelling has been a part of humanity since people were able to communicate and respond to the basic biological urge to explain, educate and enlighten. Cave drawings, traditional dances, poems, songs, and chants are all examples of early storytelling. Stories pass on historical, cultural, and moral information and provide escape and relief from the everyday struggle to survive. Storytelling takes place in all cultures in a variety of different forms. Studying these forms requires an interdisciplinary approach involving anthropology, psychology, linguistics, history, library science, theater, media studies and other related disciplines. New technologies and new approaches have brought about a renewed interest in the varied aspects and elements of storytelling, broadening our understanding and appreciation of its complexity.Anderson, K. E. (2010). Storytelling. In H. J. Birx (Ed.), 21st century anthropology: a reference handbook (pp. 277-286).

A Critical Review of Studies Assessing Interpretation Bias Towards Social Stimuli in People With Eating Disorders and the Development and Pilot Testing of Novel Stimuli for a Cognitive Bias Modification Training.
Full text linkPeople with eating disorders display a negative interpretation bias towards ambiguous social stimuli. This bias may be particularly relevant to young people with the illness due to the developmental salience of social acceptance and rejection. The overall aim of this study was to systematically develop and validate stimuli for a cognitive bias modification training to reduce a social rejection-related negative interpretation bias in young people with eating disorders. A mixed-methods design was used to achieve this aim. A review of the literature was conducted using EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and PubMed. Six studies were included in the review. Focus groups were held with patients with eating disorders, carers and healthcare professionals. Content analysis was used to identify key themes from the qualitative data. Based on these themes, a total of 339 scenarios were generated by the researchers. Salient themes identified from the focus group data included virtual rejection/exclusion, rejection associated with an aspect of the eating disorder, rejection triggered by ambiguous/benign comments or behaviors of others and rejection perceived when confiding in others. Patients rated these scenarios in terms of their age-relevance and emotional salience and 301 scenarios were included in the final stimulus set. These materials may be used by researchers conducting future experimental research into the potential benefits of interpretation bias training for young people with eating disorders
Every mistake is a treasure: Lessons learned from the TRIANGLE trial for anorexia nervosa
No full textBackground Despite several decades of treatment research for anorexia nervosa (AN), many of the same questions remain: how to boost enrollment, engage participants, prevent attrition, and meet the needs of a diverse patient population within the rigorous framework of a randomized controlled trial (RCT).Methods In this research forum, we highlight some of the challenges and opportunities observed over the course of TRIANGLE, the largest RCT for severe AN treatment in the UK to date. We discuss strategies for addressing common challenges and avoiding common pitfalls and propose solutions to future researchers seeking to conduct treatment research in AN.Results Our experience underscores the value of involving people with lived experience at every stage of intervention research. We offer additional recommendations for treatment researchers, including, (1) early qualitative research to identify patient barriers and obstacles, (2) clear, systematic collaboration with clinical sites for patient recruitment and passive data collection, (3) careful consideration of assessment metrics, including repeated measurement of quality of life, (4) adopting a flexible, patient-centered approach to clinical trial research, and (5) considering the unique needs and obstacles that might impact carer participation in research and their ability to provide support to their loved ones.Discussion We hope that these lessons learned will prove fruitful for the next generation of researchers embarking on treatment research for AN.Public Significance Using the TRIANGLE trial as an illustrative case study, we highlight the value of lived experience and codesign for developing and testing interventions for AN. We offer several lessons learned over the course of the trial, pertaining to trial enrollment, retention and engagement, measurement of outcomes, and research adaptations for real-world settings, and hope that these recommendations facilitate future treatment research for AN
