Practising refusal as relating otherwise: engagements with knowledge production, ‘activist’ praxis, and borders (2023)
Journal Article
Spathopoulou, A., & Meier, I. (in press). Practising refusal as relating otherwise: engagements with knowledge production, ‘activist’ praxis, and borders. Fennia: International Journal of Geography, 201(2), 140-153. https://doi.org/10.11143/fennia.137167

This special issue explores the concept of refusal through academic and personal reflections, conversation, poetry, activism, and performative practice. In this introduction, we first situate practices of refusal within very specific locations of str...

Non-invertible global symmetries and completeness of the spectrum (2021)
Journal Article
Heidenreich, B., McNamara, J., Montero, M., Reece, M., Rudelius, T., & Valenzuela, I. (2021). Non-invertible global symmetries and completeness of the spectrum. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021(9), Article 203. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep09%282021%29203

It is widely believed that consistent theories of quantum gravity satisfy two basic kinematic constraints: they are free from any global symmetry, and they contain a complete spectrum of gauge charges. For compact, abelian gauge groups, completeness... Read More about Non-invertible global symmetries and completeness of the spectrum.

Sharpening the Distance Conjecture in diverse dimensions (2022)
Journal Article
Etheredge, M., Heidenreich, B., Kaya, S., Qiu, Y., & Rudelius, T. (2022). Sharpening the Distance Conjecture in diverse dimensions. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022(12), Article 114. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep12%282022%29114

The Distance Conjecture holds that any infinite-distance limit in the scalar field moduli space of a consistent theory of quantum gravity must be accompanied by a tower of light particles whose masses scale exponentially with proper field distance ‖ϕ...

Peer inclusion and school equality norm associations with intergroup contact, and academic self‐efficacy amongst ethnic majority and ethnic minority youth (2024)
Journal Article
McKeown, S., Di Bernardo, G. A., Charlesford, J., Vezzali, L., & Sagherian‐Dickey, T. (2024). Peer inclusion and school equality norm associations with intergroup contact, and academic self‐efficacy amongst ethnic majority and ethnic minority youth. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1111/jasp.13027

Social norms are important predictors of youth attitudes and behaviours. There is substantial evidence that positive and meaningful intergroup contact supported by inclusive norms can have a range of benefits beyond prejudice reduction. The present r...
