Can B local communities redefine regional identity
B Corporations (B Corps) embed high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability in their operations.

The development of working men’s clubs
This article examines working men’s clubs (WMCs) in Britain as agents of implicit cultural policy. Several key themes prominent in the early years of WMCs are highlighted, including the drink question, patronage and related notions of respectability, and the struggle to find an acceptable balance between social, educational and entertainment roles. It is argued that WMCs played a significant role in culture‐shaping activities, with the specific i…

A sociological biography of the 1980s generation of young intellectuals in China. It applies Mannheim's generational perspective to first hand data to show how students and scholars in the 1980s were
Generational Issues in China
A call for greater recognition of the value of Mannheim's work on generations was made by J. Pilcher.

China's Students
In mid-1989 television viewers worldwide were shocked by scenes of bloodshed and brutality as the Chinese government sent troops into Tiananman Square to crush the student protest. As student leaders went into hiding and the full death toll became apparent, the Western world began to question the role of students as the vanguard of a powerful new movement. In fact, intellectuals in China have traditionally served as both servant and moral critic …
Pinch and Clark's Patter Merchanting and the Crisis of Sociology
This paper discusses Pinch and Clark's recent article on the strategies of market pitchers for managing local economic reasoning. We suggest that their research is illustrative of the lack of seriousness and relevance to social issues of a small proportion of sociological studies. In developing this argument, the paper considers the methodology, ethical issues and substantive content of the article. We conclude by noting that, whilst the study of…
