Imagining Antiquity in Shakespeare’s England
Neighbourhood Change, Deprivation, Peripherality, and Ageing in the Yorkshire Coalfield
Low‐income neighbourhoods in contemporary England continue to be buffeted by roiling economic inequalities and social policy absences. Long‐term residents have a unique perspective on this socio‐spatial stress. This article zooms in to examine the condition of one spatial manifestation of these broader forces: peripheral council/public housing estates in the deindustrialised North of England—in this case the ex‐coalfields of West Yorkshire. Neigh…
It is ‘more than just about building houses’
While current research focuses on the emergence of community-led housing (CLH) in England and individual cases, including co-operatives and Community Land Trusts, understanding of the breadth of CLH and its contribution to a city-wide commons is limited. We explore the evolution of CLH-as-commoning in the city of Leeds through three time periods and a framework of ‘differential’ and ‘transitional’ commoning, attentive to relations, spatiality and…
Rural parents’ adherence to infant feeding guidelines to prevent allergy
High rates of adherence with ASCIA guidelines found here are comparable with findings from metropolitan studies and encouraging for future population health. Participant comments on the guidelines imply to rural policymakers that there are multiple influences on parent decisions about infant feeding, often including parents' own intuition and experiences. Further studies to improve understanding of the role of information, carers, and other influ…
In the wake of Brexit
Our contribution to this special issue brings the theoretical and empirical orientations of the Becoming a Minority (BaM) project into dialogue with the complex and charged post-Brexit geography of the North of England. We present findings from the UK ESRC funded project Northern Exposure: Race, Nation and Disaffection in ‘Ordinary’ Towns and Cities after Brexit, drawing upon a period of co-productive and ethnographic work with local authority st…
The post-industrial English canalscape
In this article we explore how the English post-industrial canal has gone from enclosed and abandoned urban ruin to thriving but contested urban landscape. We contend that canals deserve closer social scientific attention in and of themselves but also as a creative entry point for understanding the instabilities and ambivalences of contemporary urban life. We probe at three dynamics in the English context: uneven cycles of attention from state, c…
Is anyone listening? Inequality in New Zealand’s fully funded hearing aid scheme
This paper explores the New Zealand Ministry of Health’s (MOH) allocation of funding for the Hearing Aid Funding Scheme (HAFS) and the level of service delivery by public and private sectors. The crux of the paper centres on how the system is funded and in what ways the market structure may be affecting access to health care. The study involved three main sampling strategies with primary data being collected from the District Health Board (DHB) c…
The returned
Amid a globalised crisis in secure housing provision, this article zooms in on the specific experiences of older working-class people coping with public housing demolition and forced neighbourhood transition in London. London’s new-build mixed tenure housing developments provide varying proportions of social rental housing, some of it made available to tenants of the council estate it replaced. This article examines the experiences of older peopl…
Brewing the Truth
Neo-artisanal production is a growing milieu of contemporary urban cultural economy. This article positions one area of this neo-artisanship - 'craft' beer brewing - as pivotal to this urban milieu. It draws on 25 qualitative interviews with craft brewers and brewery owners in London and critically unpacks how the 'crafting' of beer involves entanglements with and alterations of social and material space. The article offers accounts of London cra…
Estates
The word “estates,” in a British housing context, tends to refer to concentrations of public housing built during the twentieth century. Seen as a vital pillar of collective welfare provision in the United Kingdom, what is popularly known as “council” housing was originally built and managed by local municipalities to house citizens and families in cities that were without adequate and affordable housing stock. Post‐1945, mass council housing, of…
Power, parties and the ballad of New Labour
The British Labour Party is going through interesting times after two successive general election defeats. Not least, it appears to be in hasty retreat from its ‘New Labour’ incarnation, with those
Gentrification Interrupted in Salford, UK
This paper examines two potential lacunae in understanding low‐income residents’ experiences of contemporary state‐led gentrification via a study of neighbourhood restructuring in Salford, UK, 2004–2014. The first is the localised politics preparing the ground for neighbourhood “redevelopment” and housing demolition. The second is the blighted social landscape which emerges with the subsequent stalling of this project. A focus on “before” and “af…
Social Policies and Social Control
Drawing on a wide array of policy domains and events, this book provides an innovative account of social control and behaviourism within welfare systems and social policies, and the implications for disadvantaged groups. This accessible collection reviews the controls, assumptions and persuasions applied to individuals and households and explores broader themes, including how 'new behaviourism' was consolidated during the New Labour and Cameron p…

The English riots of 2011
The urban uprisings which occurred across England in the summer of 2011 are deemed in this paper to highlight the unstable, depoliticised ‘publics’ being increasingly convened within neo-liberalised cities. It contends that the diverse, dispersed and multiple events of August 2011 were ‘staged’ and ‘storied’ by assorted media and political narratives to represent socio-spatial ‘communities’ as fallen, harmed or resurgent entities. The paper expos…
The 2011 'Riots
This paper argues that sociological engagement with the 2011 summer unrest in England has thus far overlooked an important aspect of the 'rioting': the troubling by 'rioters' of the communitarian publics and moral geographies which constitute marginalised city-space. In response to this knowledge gap, this paper seeks to argue that the unrest was transgressive of governance logics which construct inner city 'communities' as spatialised units hous…

Virgil's Schoolboys
Introduction 1. The Poet as Schoolbook 2. Pastoral and the Painful Schoolmaster 3. Placement and Pedagogy in the Georgics 4. Forgetting Epic Conclusion: 'Virgilius poetarum doctissimus'
Virgil's schoolboys
Examining the ways in which Virgil's poems were received and employed in the schoolrooms of 16th- and 17th-century England Andrew Wallace argues that the Roman poet is an original theorist of the nature and mechanics of instruction.
Placement and Pedagogy in the Georgics
This chapter examines some of the ways in which the Georgics, ostensibly a didactic poem on agricultural management, was celebrated by early modern schoolmasters, writers of textbooks on logic, and educational reformers. It argues that the poem's legacy (for example, in Bacon's description of The Advancement of Learning as a ‘Georgickes of the mind’) is embedded in a series of longstanding debates about the instrumentality of literary texts in th…
New labour and reform of the English NHS
Background The British National Health Service has undergone significant restructuring in recent years. In England this has taken a distinctive direction where the New Labour Government has embraced and intensified the influence of market principles towards its vision of a ‘modernized’ NHS. This has entailed the introduction of competition and incentives for providers of NHS care and the expansion of choice for patients. Objectives To explore how…
New Neighbourhoods, New Citizens? Challenging 'Community' as a Framework for Social and Moral Regeneration under New Labour in the UK
The article asserts that a model of 'community' was used by the UK's New Labour government as a normative rationale for the regeneration and governance of designated urban spaces. The goal of this article is to offer a critical examination of the basis and application of this rationale, arguing that it inscribed aspects of social and urban policy with an anaemic meaning of 'community' which foreclosed the multiplicities, tensions and differences …
Public Values and Public Trust
The welfare state faces a number of challenges. Recent reforms in the UK appear broadly successful in attaining targets and improving cost-efficiency, but are nonetheless confronted by public disquiet and unease. This article argues that one difficulty with the new directions in policy is that they rest on a particular and limited understanding of agency. Reformers tend to operate within a theoretical framework that understands behaviour as drive…
Engaging with Learnscapes
Learnscapesare places where learning has been designed in ways that enhance the interaction with an environment (Tyas-Tunggal, 1997). A small rural primary school has creatively adopted a Learnscapeas a significant focus to engage with its community. Within the school the LearnscapesProgram works from the classroom to the playground and from there to the broader community to create a new place for learning. The LearnscapesProgram allows cross cur…
We have had nothing for so long that we don't know what to ask for’
This paper explores New Labour's desire to refurbish the physical and social fabric of excluded neighbourhoods through its New Deal for Communities (NDC) programme. It begins by examining three key concepts that embody and underpin this policy intervention – community, agency and exclusion and proceeds by contrasting these conceptual dimensions with a set of discordant, intra-neighbourhood processes of conflict, contestation and division, identif…

Placement, Gender, Pedagogy
The article examines the narrative conclusion of the Georgics, in which the nymph Cyrene distills from Proteus' tale of Orpheus and Eurydice a set of practical instructions for her son to carry out. It argues that the tendency to minimize or ignore Cyrene's crucial role at the end of the poem is inseparable from Virgil's attempt to inspect the mechanics of instruction. Renaissance editors, commentators, and illustrators grappled uneasily with Vir…

Effects of Exercise on the Type A (Coronary Prone) Behavior Pattern1
This study presents the initial findings of an attempt to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in a group of health, middle-aged adults by participation in a ten-week, supervised exercise program. Forty-six subjects were classified as Type A or Type B based on their scores on the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS). Measures of physiologic (blood pressure, serum lipids, body weight, plasminogen activator release, and treadmill performance) a…
Physiological and Psychological Variables Predict Compliance to Prescribed Exercise Therapy in Patients Recovering from Myocardial Infarction
Previous research has documented high rates of noncompliance to prescribed medical therapy in patients recovering from myocardial infarction (MI). This study was undertaken to determine if patients who subsequently drop out of a structured cardiac rehabilitation program could be prospectively distinguished from those who remain in the program based upon their initial baseline characteristics. Thirty-five consecutive patients with recent MIs under…
Psychological Changes Accompany Aerobic Exercise in Healthy Middle-Aged Adults
An attempt was made to assess the effects of aerobic exercise on the psychological functioning of a nonclinical sample of healthy middle-aged adults. Sixteen subjects participated in a 10-week program of regular walking-jogging, while a matched control group maintained their sedentary life-styles. All subjects completed a battery of psychological tests, including the Profile of Mood States, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and a retrospective qu…
