  • in the beginning was economic geography a science studies approach to Disciplinary History
    Progress in Human Geography, 2001
    Co-Authors: Trevor J Barnes
    Abstract:

    Science studies are an increasingly prominent interDisciplinary body of work. Now a diverse literature, one of its most consistent and common themes is a reluctance to accept the standard model of scientific explanation (‘internalism’) that conceives scientific knowledge, and the disciplines with which it is associated, as the product of a rationality that is progressively realized over time. Instead, science studies emphasize the importance of local circumstances in shaping knowledge, which, in turn, makes such knowledge messy and context-dependent. The purposes of this paper are twofold. The first is to provide a selective review of science studies. In particular, the paper recognizes three subtraditions within the larger genre: Mertonian institutionalism, the sociology of scientific knowledge, and cultural studies of science. The second purpose is to begin developing a case study in order to apply such literature, that of the institutional origins of economic geography during the late nineteenth and ea...

  • Disciplinary History adult Disciplinary attitudes and risk for abusive parenting
    Journal of Community Psychology, 2001
    Co-Authors: Mary Bowerrussa, John F Knutson, Allen Winebarger
    Abstract:

    In an attempt to identify factors that could contribute to intergenerational physical abuse, the specific childhood Disciplinary experiences of adolescents and young adults were assessed, and these childhood experiences were related to the subjects' assessment as to whether specific Disciplinary tactics were abusive or appropriate in child rearing. Consistent with previous research, few maltreated persons viewed their own experiences as abusive. Moreover, personal experience with a Disciplinary event was associated with a decreased tendency to view that particular form of discipline as inappropriate. Finally, a History of severe physical punishment, failure to acknowledge an abusive History when it had occurred, and adult attitudes regarding physical discipline were associated with selecting more punitive Disciplinary strategies when individuals were faced with child misbehavior in an analog parenting task. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  • attitudes toward physical discipline as a function of Disciplinary History and self labeling as physically abused
    Child Abuse & Neglect, 1996
    Co-Authors: Mary E Bower, John F Knutson
    Abstract:

    To examine the relation between childhood experience with punitive discipline, perceptions of a punitive childhood History, and adult attitudes regarding appropriate discipline, a total of 1359 university undergraduates completed a screening questionnaire to assess their childhood Disciplinary histories and their perceptions of that History. A sample of 207 of the screened participants who reported a diverse range of childhood Disciplinary histories participated in a second test session to assess attitudes regarding appropriate discipline. Among persons with severely punitive histories, those who did not label themselves as abused were less likely to classify events as physically abusive than those who labeled themselves abused. Persons with less severe punishment histories were comparable to those with severely punitive histories who also labeled themselves abused. Additionally, persons who had experienced a specific form of physical discipline as a child were less likely to label that form of discipline abusive. However, this effect of experience did not obtain among subjects who described a History of discipline-produced injury. Implications of these patterns for the intergenerational transmission of abuse are discussed.

  • attitudes mediate the association between childhood Disciplinary History and Disciplinary responses
    Child Maltreatment, 2005
    Co-Authors: Mary Bowerrussa
    Abstract:

    According to recent estimates, childhood abuse victims are at 12 times higher risk for child abuse perpetration than those without such abusive histories. This study focused on delineation of the mechanisms by which intergenerational patterns of abuse may occur and, in particular, the role that Disciplinary attitudes may play in mediating the relation between Disciplinary History and risk for abusive parenting. Participants (n = 459) completed a series of questionnaires to assess childhood History, Disciplinary attitudes, and Disciplinary practices. Structural equation modeling indicated that the association between Disciplinary History and Disciplinary responses was partially mediated by attitudes, with more than half of the association between History and responses accounted for by attitudes. These findings support the need for interventions to focus on attitudinal change when attempting to reduce risk for perpetration among those with histories of abuse.

  • rethinking Disciplinary History geography in british universities c 1580 1887
    Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 2002
    Co-Authors: Charles Withers, Robert J Mayhew
    Abstract:

    Against a background of recent work in the History of geography and of geographical knowledge, the paper considers evidence for the place of geography within British universities before the formal establishment of the first departments of geography. Attention is paid to geography’s discursive connections with other subjects within given university curricula, and to the values placed upon its teaching by contemporaries. The paper argues that extant historiographies for British geography should be revised in the light of such evidence. More importantly, the paper raises questions about the sites and intellectual spaces in which geography has been situated and about the content, nature and purpose of writing geography’s ‘DisciplinaryHistory.
