Effective stakeholder engagement for decision-relevant research on food-energy-water systems
Given the integrated nature of food-energy-water systems (FEWS), stakeholder engagement is central to developing solution-oriented projects. However, effective engagement requires substantial time and resources, by both the organization conducting the project and the stakeholders themselves, making effective engagement challenging for many projects. To help teams prioritize, prepare, and sustain stakeholder-engaged environmental projects, we prop…
Governments, Home Ownership and Low‐Cost Home Ownership Initiatives
Widening the spectrum of households who can enter home ownership has been a long‐established policy in the UK. This article explores low‐cost home ownership initiatives from the late 1970s onwards and in the context of home ownership more generally. Over the decades, government support for home ownership has shifted from making tax concessions to households and providing building subsides for local authorities, to a centrally driven housing progr…
Faith, Bioethics, and Sustainable Development
The complex interwoven crises of climate disruption and biodiversity loss demand not only rapid technological innovation for sustainable development but also major shifts in consumption and behaviour, implying a need for responses rooted in ethical values and a reorientation of attitudes towards the more-than-human world. In this context, given the global significance of faith communities and institutions as motivators and moral authorities, it i…
Remembering Ray Forrest
It will come as a shock to many to learn that Ray Forrest has died suddenly at the age of 68. In this short piece, Alex Marsh, Alan Murie and Peter Williams offer up a reflection on his life and wo
AI, Analytics and a New Assessment Model for Universities
As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, its legacy has been to disrupt universities across the world, most immediately in developing online adjuncts to face-to-face teaching. Behind these problems lie those of assessment, particularly traditional summative assessment, which has proved more difficult to implement. This paper models the current practice of assessment in higher education as influenced by ten factors, the most important of which are the em…
Design and Evaluation of a Multisensory Concert for Cochlear Implant Users
This article describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of vibrotactile concert furniture, aiming to improve the live music experience of people with hearing loss using hearing technology such as cochlear implants (CI). The system was the result of a series of participatory design sessions involving CI users with different hearing assistive setups (bi-implant, bimodal, and monoimplant), and it was evaluated in a concert scenario (drums,…
How Online Gaming Could Enhance Your Career Prospects
Background Online gaming motivations are differently associated with career interests. However, very little is known about online gaming behaviour based on the actual games played and how career interests are reflected in what people play. Hence, we investigated the actual gaming behaviour of individuals from an extensive secondary data set to further support gamers’ future career planning and professional training. Methods The study comprised 16…
Working with care leavers and young people still in care
An important element of social research is the ethical treatment of research participants. This paper outlines the ethical issues pertaining to a study (MIRRA: Memory-Identity-Rights in Records-Access) that developed a ‘participatory recordkeeping system specification’ for young people in care. The research team worked with members of the cohort themselves (aged 13–17 years) and care-experienced adults. It discusses in general terms the various e…
Choosing a holistic urban resilience assessment tool
Archives of Childhood
Les enfants et les jeunes vivant en dehors du foyer familial, par exemple en famille d’accueil, dans des foyers ou dans d’autres structures d’accueil, pris en charge par les autorités locales ou par des associations pour enfants, souffrent souvent, tout au long de leur vie, de répercussions sur leur bien-être, leur sentiment d’appartenance et d’identité et leur perception d’eux-mêmes. Les personnes ayant été dans cette situation peuvent être priv…
Shifting Gears
The rising tide of aged citizens globally suggests a compelling argument for increased understanding of factors impacting aging and retirement. Extended insight into the well-being of lesser studied groups offer suggestions to potentially enhance future planning for aging citizens. A study exploring the experience of clergy in Australia and New Zealand suggests a substantive theory on retirement in this context. A grounded study approach was adop…

Behind the 'Miracle
Expansion in the non-traditional agricultural export sector following neoliberal reform has precipitated an economic transformation in Peru. Non-traditional agricultural export growth has brought environmental, social and distributive costs. This article critically examines the Peruvian asparagus boom and the impact of this on water availability among marginal groups. Based on primary case study fieldwork, the paper asserts that the agro-export m…
Does competency-based education with blockchain signal a new mission for universities
New technologies and the knowledge economy are destabilising graduate professions, with artificial intelligence and the analysis of ‘big data’ making significant impacts on formerly secure jobs. Blockchain technology, offering automated secure credentialling of undergraduate students’ activities and achievements, may significantly erode existing systems of assessment. The challenge for universities will be not only to maintain the relevance of th…

Ready for Membership? Voices from the 2014 Australian Quaker Survey
The 2014 national survey of Australian Quakers included two questions about application for Membership, with responses from 250 Members and 89 Attenders. This article summarises these views into 54 topics and 14 key themes, considers them in relation to various sociological perspectives and compares the results to those from previous surveys in Britain and the USA. The most common reasons for Membership application were feelings of belonging and …

Effect of price and information on the food choices of women university students in Saudi Arabia
Assessing collaborative learning
Assessment in higher education has focused on the performance of individual students. This focus has been a practical as well as an epistemic one: methods of assessment are constrained by the technology of the day, and in the past they required the completion by individuals under controlled conditions of set-piece academic exercises. Recent advances in learning analytics, drawing upon vast sets of digitally stored student activity data, open new …
Importance of mental performance in parental choice of food for children aged 4–10 years
Objective Typically, attention focuses on how nutrition affects physical health. The present study investigated the importance that parents attach to the impact of diet on mental performance when choosing food for their child. Design Questionnaire. Setting Four European countries. Subjects Parents of children aged 4–10 years ( n 1574): England ( n 397), Germany ( n 389), Hungary ( n 398) and Spain ( n 390). Results Most parents (80–85 %) consider…
Results from the First National Survey of Quaker Belief and Practice in Australia and Comparison with the 2013 British Survey
The first national survey of the beliefs and practices of Australian Friends was conducted in 2014, including 42 questions from the 2013 British Quaker Survey. This article compares results from those surveys to discover similarities and significant differences in two English-speaking Quaker populations with a common unprogrammed liberal tradition. Answers to half of the questions were remarkably similar in both surveys, including: reasons for ap…

The constitution of the home
The home has been a neglected research area in housing studies. This paper represents one preliminary attempt to explore the role of the home in contemporary British society. Key concerns include class and social relations, the sociology of consumption and the home as a locale

Consumption, exclusion and emotion
In recent years, a productive dialogue has developed between retail geographers and those social geographers concerned with the spatiality of consumption. This has resulted in a series of accounts of shopping that emphasize notions of consumer creativity. Nonetheless, this paper argues that many of these have struggled to reconcile the meaning of shopping with an understanding of the material parameters within which consumers operate. Recognizing…
Building Societies and the Inner City
The issue of whether mortgage institutions designate areas of cities where they will not lend has become increasingly important in the light of recent debates about the future of the inner city. This paper examines the evidence of 'redlining' by building societies and comments on the reasons for such practices and their wider implications. FOR several decades concern has been expressed about the housing situation in the inner areas of British cit…
Causes and Consequences? Exploring the Shape and Direction of the Housing System in the UK Post the Financial Crisis
The impacts of the global financial crisis continue to reverberate around the world. This paper explores its impacts in the UK in general and England in particular in relation to the housing market and housing policy. It examines the underlying trends which were already in place before the financial crisis and the impact of the crisis and the government's policy responses on the housing and mortgage markets. The paper argues that the crisis mainl…
Commodification and Housing
In this paper, we attempt to relate debates around the commodification process, that is, the ways in which commodity relations develop and are expressed both in daily life and in the organisation of society, with respect to housing provision. We begin with a brief review of the underlying theoretical argument and then proceed to examine a number of housing-related spheres. We conclude that, although the concept of commodification suffers from ove…
Financialization, finance rationality and the role of media in Australia
This article aims to contribute to understanding the role of media in financialization, understood as the composite of practices involved in making finance central to present-day capitalism and everyday life. To focus on financialization is to consider how it has come to be that the sovereignty of national governments has been eroded by their embedding within a globalized financial environment where financial markets and credit-rating agencies ar…

Restructuring Urban Managerialism
This paper is concerned with conceptual frameworks in urban geography. It seeks to reestablish the validity of research at the institutional level albeit set within a broad political economy of urbanism. It also argues the need both to recognise and to explain the high degree of variation which exists within institutions operating in the urban realm
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Self-reports of the ability to engage in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) among older adults are known to be related to personality traits. However, self-reports are sometimes discrepant with performance-based IADL assessments, and little is known about personality associations with objective functionality or with poor insight about functional deficits. This study examined the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised profiles associated w…
Limiting Politics
The electoral terms of the federal Coalition government under Prime Minister John Howard have been characterised by a blend of economic fundamentalism, neo-assimilationist social agendas, privatisation of infrastructure and of risk, and nostalgic politics. This is a particular Australian version of a wider neo-liberalism and, given the leadership role of the Prime Minister in this amalgam of doctrines and policies but also its considerably wider …
Economic processes and urban change
This article examines questions of explanation in urban geography through consideration of the gentrification process. Particular attention is given to the problems of ‘structural’ analyses and the need to develop alternative political economy perspectives
A Presumption in Favour of Home Ownership? Reconsidering Housing Tenure Strategies
This paper discusses changes in housing finance, tenure and policy in the UK in the context of Kemeny's important and influential discussion of political tenure strategies. The evolution of housing tenure in that country since the 1970s has not conformed to the thesis of a simple presumption in favour of home ownership and the paper argues that the framework for housing analysis must look beyond tenure categories, recognise the complex variations…

What Price a Living Wage
This article sets out to examine ways in which a living wage might be implemented in the global apparel sector. We argue that an increase in the unit labour cost element of the free on board price paid by brands by a factor equivalent to the difference between the existing wage and a nationally determined living wage figure would not impact in any serious way upon retailer/brand-owner's (or supplier's) bottom line. However, the existence of fragm…
Student Experiences of Work-Based Learning in Planning Education
Of various approaches to teaching planning in practice, work-based or integrated learning retains vital relevance in many planning programs. There are strong rationales in pedagogic, professional development, employment, and personal terms. But what of student experiences of work experience? How do student planners approach, experience, and reflect on workplace engagements? This article explores these experiential dimensions through a survey of a…
Addressing participation constraint
From Public Housing to Welfare Housing
This paper examines the shift in housing policy from public housing to welfare housing during the 1970's and the period of the Fraser government in particular. The period saw a series of new Commonwealth State Housing Agreements directed toward market pricing of public rental stock; at the same time Federal funds were declining, with marked effects on the public housing sector. The paper reflects on these trends and highlights certain contradicti…

Why are some care homes better than others? An empirical study of the factors associated with quality of care for older people in residential homes in Surrey, England
This paper reports an empirical study that investigated associations between the quality of care received by older people in residential settings and features of the care homes in which they live. Data were gathered from the first announced inspection reports (2002-2003) of all 258 care homes for older people in one county of England (Surrey). The number of inspected standards failed in each home was used as the main indicator of quality of care.…
The Evolving Images of Wine Tourism Destinations
The projection of an appropriate image has been described as a vital element in marketing tourism destinations. While the dimensions of tourism destination image development have been examined in a wide range of tourism contexts, little research of this type has been conducted with respect to emerging agri-tourism regions in general, or wine tourism destinations in particular. This research examines the evolving character of wine tourism destinat…
