Eco-equalities for a Just Transition to Net Zero
There were hopes that Net Zero policies would provide solutions that address social inequalities, including improved access to fair work and new ‘green’ jobs. This has proved problematic due to a lack of clarity on key beneficiaries and the type and quality of employment required, resulting in calls for Net Zero policies to focus more explicitly on social inequalities. In response, this paper considers whether theoretical debates in the equality …
Unpacking place-based narratives
Purpose The study aims to identify the evoked “sense of place” that the campus community attributes to a watershed area in a Malaysian higher institution, aiming to enhance their participation in watershed conservation. Central to this objective is the incorporation of the concept of a watershed as a place , serving as the conceptual framework for analysis. Design/methodology/approach This case study explores an urban lake at Universiti Malaya, M…
Atmospheres, landscapes and nature
This article reflects on the relations between health and natural landscapes. The study explores how the landscape context - its textual and sensory aesthetics - positively shapes experiences and perceptions of the landscape, for those people who seek out natural environments for health. While health promotion is designated along the lines of encouraging choice or improving access to natural environments, this article wants to show how physical a…
The ‘good death’ and reduced capacity
Research effort into what a ‘good death’ entails has generally concentrated on six themes: pain and symptom management; clear decision-making; preparation for death; completion; contributing to others; and affirmation of the whole person. This review explores these themes, specifically examining their applicability to those who lack mental capacity to make their own decisions. Some appear more relevant than others, with clear decision-making and …
When is positive action not positive action? Exploring the conceptual meaning and implications of the tie-break criterion in the UK Equality Act 2010
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the claim that the tie-break criterion introduced under the Equality Act 2010 is not really positive action as is claimed by its government sponsors. It evaluates this claim by locating the tie-break into equal opportunities theory, taking into account merit considerations, and reviews its potential implications. Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual discussion of the tie-break. Findings – Th…
Peripheral Perspectives
In this paper I identify the key differences and similarities between New Zealand and Australian Lesbian Studies. Until recently, Australian and New Zealand perspectives have been viewed separately. The possible reasons for these differences are discussed and local understandings about diversity that have played a role in the destabilization of Lesbian Studies are considered. I proceed to consider the influence of Queer Theory on teaching and res…
Women get this
Chronic pelvic pain in women is a key site through which explorations of the meanings of female gender and pain might further insights into the broader question of the embodied experience of women in relation to pain. A biocultural approach is used to present an analysis of interviews with 40 New Zealand women in which they reflect on 'how come' they have chronic pelvic pain. Women consistently employ a mechanistic rendition of medical discourse …
