The China firm: American elites and the making of British Colonial society
No full textWhat roles did Americans play in the expanding global empires of the nineteenth century? Thomas M. Larkin examines the Hong Kong–based Augustine Heard & Company, the most prominent American trading firm in treaty-port China, to explore the ways American elites at once made and were made by British colonial society. Following the Heard brothers throughout their firm’s rise and decline, The China Firm reveals how nineteenth-century China’s American elite adapted to colonial culture, helped entrench social and racial hierarchies, and exploited the British imperial project for their own profit as they became increasingly invested in its political affairs and commercial networks.
Through the central narrative of Augustine Heard & Co., Larkin disentangles the ties that bound the United States to China and the British Empire in the nineteenth century. Drawing on a vast range of archival material from Hong Kong, China, Boston, and London, he weaves the local and the global together to trace how Americans gained acceptance into and contributed to the making of colonial societies and world-spanning empires. Uncovering the transimperial lives of these American traders and the complex ways extraimperial communities interacted with British colonialism, The China Firm makes a vital contribution to global histories of nineteenth-century Asia and provides an alternative narrative of British empire

Relational Care - with Mary Larkin and Manik Deepak-Gopinath [Podcast]
No full textWhat is 'relational care' and how can it improve the day-to-day experience of carers and those they care for? What are its implications for relationships between staff and service users in care settings? And how does the concept of relational care enable us to re-imagine the role of place and space in the experience of care? These are some of the questions we explore in this episode with Mary Larkin and Manik Deepak-Gopinath who recently completed a research project on the value and practice of relational care with older people.
Mary is Professor of Care, Carers and Caring at The Open University in the UK, where her research has focused on carers and caring and adult social care. She is the co-author, most recently of Family Carers and Caring, published in 2023 by Emerald. Manik is a Lecturer in Ageing, also at The Open University, and is a critical gerontologist with interests in the intersection of ageing, place and wellbeing, and in the intimate and family ties of older adults

In Between Traditional Irish Music and the Made Landscape in Ireland
No full textThe thesis describes two fields of practice in which Steve Larkin acts as a master: architecture and music. Through a precise description of his new insights in how traditional Irish music comes into being (the interiorities of music), Steve Larkin comes to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms at work in design processes in architecture (the interiorities of landscape). In an elaborated study, research cases in music and architecture intertwine and imbricate so as to form a robust piece of research that produces a viable account on the inter- and transdisciplinarity at work in a practice out of which the author has theorized new insights on a meta level that can be transported and applied in other inter and transdisciplinary practices.status: Publishe
