The travels of M. de Thévenot through the thug archive (2001)
Journal Article
ní Fhlathúin, M. (2001). The travels of M. de Thévenot through the thug archive. Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 11(1), https://doi.org/10.1017/S135618630100013X

The campaign against thuggee in 1830s India produced a set of widely-circulated accounts of the origins and practices of thugs. In these works (both popular and scholarly), a very small amount of primary information was continually recycled throughou... Read More about The travels of M. de Thévenot through the thug archive.

Although a good deal of recent critical attention to Melville's writing has followed the lead of Robert K. Martin in addressing the issue of sexuality, the predominant themes in discussions of “Bartleby” remain changes in the nature of the workplace...

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 12(7-8), 345-350. https://doi.org/10.1071/RD00115

The present study was designed to determine whether altered placental size, as a consequence of maternal nutrient restriction in sheep between 28 and 77 days gestation, is associated with a modified relationship between fetal weight or dimensions and...

Teaching Mathematics in Two Independent School Contexts: The Construction of "Good Practice" (2000)
Journal Article
Swanson, D. M. (2000). Teaching Mathematics in Two Independent School Contexts: The Construction of "Good Practice". Educational Insights, 6(1),

This paper compares constructions of mathematics teaching and learning practices in two geographically different school contexts. It looks at the constructions of "good practice" within the schooling communities across these two contexts and describe...

Bipolarity, the presence of a species in the high latitudes separated by a gap in distribution across the tropics, is a well-known pattern of global species distribution. But the question of whether bipolar species have evolved independently at the p...
