Anticipatory Accounts (2004)
Journal Article
Murphy, E. (2004). Anticipatory Accounts. Symbolic Interaction, 27(2),

C. Wright Mills called for a truly sociological analysis of actors’ “motive talk,” which decouples the commonsense link between the reasons actors give for their actions and their mental state prior to those actions. Subsequent theoretical and empiri... Read More about Anticipatory Accounts.

The spirurid nematode, Protospirura muricola, is of intrinsic interest as a rodent model of gastric nematode infections. Since worm burdens can be very heavy in nature, density dependent processes may constrain parasite growth. Laboratory mice (BKW)...
