State Of Affairs

The idea of unintended consequences of social action constitutes one of the core meta-assumptions of new economic sociology. Yet neither its US nor its European branch seem to make a direct statement about this. This state of affairs appears to be the result of various cumulative circumstances, such as the role played by the competition from other meta-assumptions which address similar or related issues and the rather general treatment of the unintended consequences within the field. This article takes a closer look and tries to establish whether the approach to the unintended in the US and European new economic sociologies is indeed so general. It concludes that the source of the low visibility of the unintended consequences as a fundamental problem for new economic sociology is not the fact that this is not granted proper systematization. The problem rather lies in the lack of awareness and cumulative knowledge about the unintended consequences as a main sociological problem that was already taken up in sociology.

Competency-based medical education promises to provide effective and structured training, relying on the identification and measurement of trainee competency through standardized guidelines. Shifting to competency-based education approaches has provided the opportunity for training programs to re-examine and formally define core competencies representative of their scope of practice. Members of our team were involved in identifying the core surgical competencies that graduating residents of one specialty (Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery (OTL-HNS)) needed to acquire. We used a modified Delphi approach wherein key stakeholders, including past and present program directors for one surgical subspecialty across Canada, were asked to rate all surgical procedures included in key specialty-specific policy documents and in a compiled comprehensive list of all procedures pertaining to OTL-HNS. We set out to engage in a data-driven approach to build consensus regarding core competencies for OTL-HNS. After several Delphi rounds, the polarization of participants became ingrained, and the act of selecting core competencies had the effect of both defining and failing to define the core aspects of the speciality. We found core competencies can, and do, overlap between specialties, representing a blurring of necessary competencies across specialties. This blurring could create overlapping or confounding professional identities and influence the accreditation of residency programs. This paper will not report on the findings derived from the Delphi process, but rather describes insights gained throughout our failed consensus process and explore the unintended consequences of attempting to define core competencies in one surgical specialty and how it ultimately led to the termination of our research and consensus-building initiative.

Local Traditions

Over the last few decades, resilience and its related practices have been at the core of responding challenges in the Global South and North. We should, however, be conscious of its gaps for many reasons. First, environmental plans not attuned to local traditions can create cultural conflicts. Second, the politicised nature of international agreements poses unintended consequences as societies find it hard to engage in such agreements. Third, uncertainties about changes in socio-ecological systems reduce people’s adaptive capacity. Without an awareness of these inconsistencies, policymakers risk impeding societies’ adaptation to environmental change. By doing a systematic review of articles from academic and policy publications, this paper explores repercussions for environmental governance, illuminating key concerns in protected areas, climate change policy, and hydropower systems.

Child pornography, also called “child sexual abuse imagery” and “child exploitation material,” is a serious public health problem. This chapter reviews what qualifies as child pornography in the United States, its prevalence, how it is made and disseminated, who views it, and whether seeing it is associated with child sexual abuse perpetration. The topic of self-produced child pornography is also addressed. The chapter explains the historical link between anti-child pornography activism and anti-gay rights activism, and cautions public health professionals that, historically, outrage about child pornography has been used to galvanize people and further repressive agendas. The chapter argues that child pornography prevention strategies need to be carefully devised, in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders, and should be studied for effectiveness and unintended consequences.

Insight Into

This chapter explores the gendered schema at the core of enslaved black women's abolitionist resistance and the scholarly neglect it received by examining the multiple and varied forms of resistance to labor and sexual abuse that four enslaved women engaged in: Mary Elizabeth Bowser, Margaret Garner, Harriet Tubman, and Mary Ellen Pleasant. In all cases, black women manipulated the stereotype of the hapless, deficient, enslaved black woman and used it as camouflage for their anti-slavery and anti-patriarchy insurgency. Either momentarily or permanently, Bowser, Garner, Tubman, and Pleasant became agents of their own or others' liberation. They exercised tactical ingenuity and rare insight into the illogic of both slavery and patriarchy. Ultimately, the success of these women's gendered resistance mystified antagonists, supporters, and scholars alike.
