  • Envisaging intergenerational spaces for co-creating creative writing

    Open AccessTom Dobson, Abi Curtis et al.ARTICLEEnglish in Education2024

    In this paper, we take an ecological view of children’s development to argue that preventive interventions should move beyond separating the microsystems of school and home to create new intergenerational spaces for nurturing mental wellbeing. Using the 5A’s theory of creativity, we draw upon our experiences of creative writing to explore how intergenerational spaces that facilitate co-creating creative writing between parents and carers and thei…

  • The urban public sector as commons

    Open AccessJ L Collins, Jane CollinsARTICLEFocaal2013

    Susser and Tonnelat's article on the three urban commons is both visionary and heartening. Its counterpastoral polemic glorifies urban modes of sociality and the forms of common property fostered by urban life. The authors find in cities communities of experience that cross class lines and create inadvertent coalitions around shared problems. They argue that specific components of what has been called "the right to the city" need to be understood…

  • Theorizing Wisconsin's 2011 protests

    Open AccessJ L Collins, Jane CollinsARTICLEAmerican Ethnologist2012Cited by: 41References: 18

    Recent waves of social-movement protest in Wisconsin challenge conventional understandings of labor activism, as they have responded not only to rollbacks of labor rights but also to privatization of state programs and resources and budget cuts that target poor and working families. Drawing from participant-observation, I explore the question of whether the movements that arose in Wisconsin in early 2011 represented an expansion of union-based ac…

  • Wal-Mart, American consumer citizenship, and the 2008 recession

    Open AccessJ L Collins, Jane CollinsARTICLEFocaal2011

    This article explores dominant ideological framings of the economic crisis that began in 2008, by examining shifting meanings of consumer citizenship in the US. The consumer citizen was a central figure in Keynesian ideology-one that encapsulated important assumptions about the proper relationship between production and consumption and the appropriate arenas for citizen engagement with the economy. Taking Wal-Mart as a case-study example, the art…

  • Redefining the Boundaries of Work

    J L Collins, Jane CollinsARTICLEIdentities2006

    This article focuses on new forms of community unionism that are being developed by apparel workers. Based on ethnographic research in Mexico and the United States, it argues that because so many apparel workers are women, because women have been excluded from unions in many contexts, because the relationship of apparel workers to their employers is “flexible” and unstable, and because the high turnover rates associated with low wages and poor wo…
