Algorithmic tenancies and the ordinal tenant
Automation hesitancy
Drawing upon a qualitative research project examining the use of algorithms in decisions relating to access to housing, this article develops the concept of automation hesitancy. It reflects on the emergence of automation and considers the need for detailed accounts of the implementation of algorithms within specific sectors. In particular, it looks at the confidence deficits that exist. From this starting point it then considers how established …
Algorithmic dwelling? Digital technologies as intermediaries in housing access and the enactment of home
This brief paper provides an introduction to our special issue of the journal on ‘algorithmic dwelling’. It provides a summary of the seven papers in the special issue and draws out a number of common themes
Open Banking and data reassurance
The promise of Open Banking (OB), as implemented in the UK, has been that consumers are no longer passive data producers but can also use and derive value from their personal data. OB has been applied predominantly to financial decision-making, payments and borrowing, and most of the existent literature has focused on its adoption in financial services. In this article, we examine its off-label adoption in tenant referencing, a sector rather negl…

Property, family and the Irish welfare state
In Property, Family and the Irish Welfare State, Norris traces in historic detail the origins of Ireland’s property-based welfare state. She describes how it originated first in attempts to mitigat
Thank heavens for the lease”
Drawing on and developing Kingdon’s multiple streams analysis, this article examines the development of one aspect of the UK’s low cost home ownership programme: shared ownership. We demonstrate how key human and non-human policy entrepreneurs were able to set the agenda from 1973–1983 in favour of shared ownership; they neutralized the alternatives, while retaining some of their instruments; and solved a number of early problems by bringing key …
Producing the Product
In this article, we seek to develop socio‐legal studies through a rupturing of the ideas behind the social and the legal, ideas that are most often presumed to exist and are used to explain that which is already there. The ubiquity of law and the omniscience of society have become givens. We use a product called shared ownership as a case study, arguing that the product was given life by a legal document (the lease) which itself represented the t…
Research translation strategies to improve the readability of workplace health promotion resources
Without deliberate and resourced translation, research evidence is unlikely to inform policy and practice. This paper describes the processes and practical solutions used to translate evaluation research findings to improve the readability of print materials in a large scale worksite health programme. It is argued that a knowledge brokering and translation role, clear planning, effective communications, strong senior leadership support and strate…
Place, Exclusion, and Mortgage Markets
Manuel B. Aalbers, Chichester, Wiley-Blackwell. 2011, 256 pp., £19.99 (pbk) ISBN 9781405196581 This book is about redlining, the place-based exclusion from mortgage finance: Redlining can be redefi
Feels like I'm doing it on my own’
The previous administration introduced several measures to prevent mortgage possessions, some of which were modestly effective. However, these hastily introduced initiatives were insufficient to bridge the gap between a fragmented policy framework and borrowers’ circumstances and experiences of managing mortgage debt. The present restructuring of welfare and regulation represents a unique window to address these long-standing policy omissions in …
Writing to learn ecology
Being an ecologically literate citizen involves making decisions that are based on ecological knowledge and accepting responsibility for personal actions. Using writing-to-learn activities in college science courses, we asked students to consider personal dilemmas that they or others might have in response to how human choices can impact coastal dead zones around the world. We explored how undergraduate students (42 biology and 47 elementary educ…
Knowing the Market? Understanding and Performing York's Housing
This paper takes a cultural-economy approach to the analysis of the operation of local housing markets, providing an insight into how local market actors ‘know the market’ and enact, or ‘perform’, the business of local housing. Drawing on a qualitative study of the York housing market, the paper provides an insight in to the myriad presumptions and practices enacted by seemingly similar agents as they seek to manage a potential dip in prices. The…
Evidence for Policy Making
The recent turn towards evidence-based or evidence-informed policy making has generated interest in systematic literature review techniques. Systematic reviewing is increasingly being adopted to address questions in complex social policy areas, but the methodological development lags behind. Drawing on the experience of undertaking three systematic reviews of housing related topics, as part of a project designed to empirically test the transfer o…
Validating the organizational climate measure
This paper describes the development and validation of a multidimensional measure of organizational climate, the Organizational Climate Measure (OCM), based upon Quinn and Rohrbaugh's Competing Values model. A sample of 6869 employees across 55 manufacturing organizations completed the questionnaire. The 17 scales contained within the measure had acceptable levels of reliability and were factorially distinct. Concurrent validity was measured by c…
Meeting the challenge
English This article uses the experience of reviewing the evidence on the financial support available for defaulting home owners to consider the opportunities and challenges systematic review methods present to social policy. It addresses concerns about examining the strength of given evidence, and perceptions of it being a purely technical method to review existing research. It argues that there is merit in utilising the method to provide resear…
