A data-based participatory approach for health equity and digital inclusion
This article starts from the premise that projects informed by data science can address social concerns, beyond prioritizing the design of efficient products or services. How can we bring the stakeholders and their situated realities back into the picture? It is argued that data-based, participatory interventions can improve health equity and digital inclusion while avoiding the pitfalls of top-down, technocratic methods. A participatory framewor…
Housing Associations as institutional space
Housing Associations (HAs) operate at the community level between the state, market and individual and, in the current political context of austerity, state roll‐back and welfare reform, have been increasingly tasked with focusing on the “welfare” of their tenants. This has included “encouraging” a trajectory of training for work for those tenants who are unemployed; a trajectory that is aimed at producing a certain type of “active” and appropria…
Lived bodies’ and the neoliberal city – a case study of vulnerability in London
This article explores the ‘more-than-work’ aspects of the lives of vulnerable women who street-sex work. Particularly, we are interested in the differences between the women’s experiences, within the broader context of power structures as manifested in neoliberal cities. Few studies have explored this aspect of street-sex workers’ lives and theorisations of the co-creation of environments tend to elide the experiences of the most vulnerable peopl…
Education, parenting and family
This paper explores the relationship between education, parenting and family through the prism and particularities of family learning. Family learning is an example of an educational initiative, primarily aimed at parents and linked to wider policy concerns, which can be explored through a mapping of its social geographies; family learning is played out across and productive of different sites, spaces and identities. Based on qualitative research…
Family learning and the socio-spatial practice of ‘supportive’ power
Family learning has been an important mode of education deployed by governments in the United Kingdom over the past 20 years, and is positioned at the nexus of various social policy areas whose focus stretch beyond education. Drawing on qualitative research exploring mothers’ participation in seven different family learning programmes across West London, this paper looks at how this type of education is mobilised; that is, how mothers are ‘encour…
Geographies of family learning and aspirations of belonging
In recent years the ‘geography/ies of education’ has emerged as a more coherent and defined area of research. Education in this context has been primarily interpreted as either compulsory or higher education and figured around the geographies of school and university. Other education sectors and spaces – both formal and informal – have been less visible. This paper gives a geographical reading of an area of further education that has been hithert…
Women, work–life balance and quality of life
In this editorial we introduce the key themes explored by the articles that make up this themed section on 'Women, work–life balance and quality of life'. As a collection, the articles emphasise the complexity of trying to define what work–life balance means to different groups of men and women in three locales (Bristol, West London and Dublin), highlighting that trying to attribute meaning to this concept is at the very least problematic. They d…
The training-to-work trajectory
The UK government has emphasised the role of lifelong learning in eradicating social exclusion and improving productivity and the skills base. With a neoliberal rationale that normalises economic participation, the unemployed are being offered (re)training to enable a swift transition to paid employment and encourage ‘personal responsibility’. Taking a critical feminist approach framed by the social control model of lifelong learning and Foucault…
The means of correct training
In the main, the literature on body work has focused on the workplace, overlooking the spaces and places of training for work. Drawing on tutors' understandings of teaching and mothers' varied experiences of training for body work in areas of health, beauty and social care, this paper explores the learning environment as a liminal space. For many mothers, it is a space that sits at the nexus of home, work and leisure and is where the individual m…
Invisible experiences
This paper analyses the results of a research project on the experiences and learning needs of students with dependent children in a 1960s university. The findings are based on semi‐structured interviews with university services and academic staff, as well as a questionnaire survey among students with dependent children and follow‐up in‐depth interviews with a sample of 18 of these students. The paper shows that, for those surveyed, future employ…
Body training’
Discourses of Integration and Exclusion
Despite the growth and diversification of the student population, many British universities are still organised to cater for young students without caring responsibilities. Drawing on feminist frameworks of gender equality, this paper explores the ways in which governmental discourse of equal opportunities is articulated, sustained and resisted by staff and studying parents in a 1960s university. While many respondents attempt to comply with the …
A new deal for lone parents? Training lone parents for work in West London
In this paper we explore the impacts of the training programmes offered to lone mothers with young children on the Government's ‘New Deal for Lone Parents’ in one local labour market: West London. Our research suggests that regulatory workfare policies are (re)producing and reinforcing gendered inequalities in the labour market by encouraging lone mothers to undertake training in feminised occupational areas such as childcare. We will argue that …
