Dividends and Disconnects: Involving Public and Stakeholder Groups in the Development of a Modelling Study Exploring Income Policy and Health
Perceptions of Poverty and Policy Preferences: The Contribution of Q Methodology
The nature, causes and consequences of poverty have been debated for many years and remain controversial. However, some degree of consensus is a pre‐requisite for feasible, sustainable and effective policy responses to poverty. Research methods which can improve understanding of public attitudes towards poverty and identify potential areas of consensus are particularly valuable. Q methodology is a research tool which has the potential to identify…
Association between individual level characteristics and take-up of a Minimum Income Guarantee for Pensioners: Panel Data Analysis using data from the British Household Panel survey 1999–2002
A Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG) ensures people have a minimum amount of income for essentials such as healthy food, housing, health care, social and digital networks to support health and well-being. MIGs could be a useful tool to reduce inequalities. A MIG will only be effective if those who are eligible take it up. The aim of this paper is to explore how individual characteristics were associated with take-up of a MIG for pensioners (aged 60+ …

Background: Previous research has documented how people living on low incomes in the United Kingdom (UK) and internationally experience various forms of poverty stigma. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively examine how experiences of poverty stigma are associated with mental health outcomes. Methods: An online, cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,000 adults living in predominantly low- and middle-income households in the UK. The…
Women’s Complaints about Violence at Athens: Zobia and Aristogeiton
This chapter contributes to the literature on violence against women in classical Athens, by considering the case of Zobia, a metic woman who experienced violence at the hands of a man named Aristogeiton according to Demosthenes’ Against Aristogeiton (25.56-8). Inspired by consideration of women’s public vocalisation of their experiences of sexual violence and harassment through the ‘me too’ movement in recent years, the focus is on the way that …

Poverty stigma, mental health, and well‐being: A rapid review and synthesis of quantitative and qualitative research
Poverty is associated with higher rates of mental illness and lower levels of well‐being. Poverty affects mental health and well‐being through a range of mechanisms, one of which may be experiences of stigma associated with living in poverty or accessing services designed to assist individuals on low incomes (including social security). The aim of this study was to synthesise published research on the relationship between individuals' experiences…
Female Violence towards Women and Girls in Greek Tragedy
In the extant plays we find examples of wives who react intensely and/or with violence to the introduction of a sexual rival into the household or to their abandonment by their partner for that rival. This chapter fills in the gaps in our understanding of this pattern by taking into account the fragmentary plays in which women enact violence upon other women and girls. This most often occurs in the case of married women who perceive the introduct…

Embedding Employability into a Classics Curriculum: The Classical Civilisation Bachelor of Arts programme at Roehampton University
Employability has become a global buzz-word: instructors in higher education are increasingly being called upon to produce highly employable students who will in turn contribute to the financial capital of the country’s economy. For vocational subjects and degrees for which clear links to industry may be envisaged (such as IT, Business, Technology and Science) the challenge is surmountable. However, it remains for non-vocational subjects, and esp…
Lost dramas of classical Athens: Greek tragic fragments
Discussing the work of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, this title examines the genre and the society that it produced such works. Papyrus finds over the last 100 years have altered and supplemented our understanding of the Greek culture of this time, and this title reflects research to this point.
